test of time
Jan 22nd 2024There are literally hundreds of headphones in the market. How can one figure out which one to buy? The 7506 has been around since 1991. How many other headphone survive even just 10 years of a product life cycle? These stats are a testament to the quality of the product. My only complaint is the 3.5 mm to quarter inch threaded adapter: Occasionally I need to adjust the position to get the signal properly conducting. But then again I've been using mine for years now. Other than that minor issue, it's a solid product.

Industry Standard
Apr 16th 2020These are used in studios everywhere. I like them....but they aren't for everyone. Recommended. The bleed is a little loud but they are good for what you pay for.

Great Headphones. Do need upkeep.
Jun 20th 2018Industry Standard for a Reason. Best out there. If you love them for years, you will end up replacing the pads.

much clarity, less depth
Nov 28th 2011These headphones are very clear and pronounced in the upper rage, making them very dependable for tracking/ timing accuracy and detail. For those reasons alone they are great headphones. Whereas more expensive headphones will allow the sound to open up and be more 3D, the 7506 will be the perfect tool when recording through phones and you need to really hear something. I've owned mine for many years, replaced the earpads twice, and hope to have them many more.

A standard for a reason
Sep 13th 2011These are overall my favorite $100 closed ear headphones. They can be a little bright but they transfer a good sound for tracking in the studio and are pretty good for getting a quick reference in the field. Every other headphone I have heard in this price range can't compete.

Superb all-around headphones
Feb 17th 2011I originally bought these for monitoring sound on video shoots, but now I use them for listening to music and even doing mix-downs in Pro-Tools. Very accurate and very comfortable to wear.

Durable, good-sounding closed headphones
Oct 19th 2010The MDR-7506 (same as the V6) has been around for a long time for a reason - it's durable, inexpensive, and one of the best sub-$100 options for headphone monitors. True to most Sony headphones I've heard, it has a very clean, clear sound that separates the various musical elements discretely. Bass is low, powerful, & fast, never plodgy. Propensity towards treble though that can accentuate sibilance. Wouldn't recommend for general music listening unless you like a slightly recessed mid-range. The earpads are upgradeable too with the velour earpads from Beyerdynamic's DT250-80 for added comfort.

There's a reason these are the standard bearers
Dec 6th 2005I've had 3 pairs of these for my studio for years. They're sturdy, consistant and always sound acurate. They are the studio standard for tracking headphones the world over for good reason... quality. I have a few different kinds of headphones for mixing, tracking & monitoring etc, but it's my 7506's I trust first.
