Lives up to my expectations. Good bass. A bit glossy at the top end, compared to European phones, but not brassy. The feed wire on L.S. is loose and exposes 3mm copper at the back panel. I am worried about this and will have to check the warranty. The main wire is pro quality however. A 16 yr old listened to his rap music and proclaimed DRe's better, but we were unable to make a direct comparison. For my purposes (acoustic, classical, jazz, electronic-techno) these are ery good all around phones.

Excellent sounding headphones. Almost as good sounding as my Beyerdynamic DT770s at a fraction of the price. The bass response isn't quite as good, but no headphone compares to the Beyers in low frequencies. My main complaint is the wretched, olid, vaporous, terrible off-gassing of the tacky vinyl ear pads. It's so bad that when you wear the headphones you can smell it at all times. Sticking the headphones on your head is like putting your head in a bag full of smoke from a burning car tire. I thought "oh they're new it'll just take them a few days of airing out and it'll go away," but it's had some amazing staying power. I'm sure that these were worse than some, as I've known many people to use these headphones over the years and have never heard similar complaints. Luckily I found a link online to order a set of Beyerdynamic replacement velour ear pads that fit the MDR-7506. Those are on the way and not only will they hopefully fix the off-gassing problem, but they'll be a lot nicer on the skin ala the velour. Once I factor in the cost of the replacement ear pads they're not quite the steal they were, but still a fraction of what the Beyers cost, and much more portable with the collapsing hinges and the coiled telephone style cord. I will most likely buy another pair to have around for other musicians.Read full review
First the sound quality is amazing. I hear sounds, panning and instruments I never heard before. The condition was MINT. Perfect length cord. It was very long perfect for my playing situation. These are more comfortable than the audio technica M50 X Bluetooth. I would pay triple for these headphones. They’re that good!

For their size, they are not too heavy but certainly not lightweights either. They do fit comfortably and seal well against exterior noise, so they are great for serious listening. I actually use a different headset that is lighter and allows me to hear when my wife speaks to me for most listening to videos, TV, etc. Also, these have excellent lower bass response; sometimes too good. On digital recordings of lower quality like YouTube, I can actually hear the extremely low thump of the digital clock which is very annoying. I added an equalizer program to my PC to correct for bass-heavy tracks where the bass became so prominent as to overpower the music and that helped a lot. These headphones are also fairly sensitive, so if you plan to power more than one from the same source you will need to use the same model to prevent differences in volume. The good news is because they require less power they allow the sound source (i.e. sound card in a PC) to run quieter, meaning less noise and distortion for higher quality. Best use: Studio or serious listening to high quality audio sources. I hear things I don't hear with lesser headphones like fingers on frets, breathing and the little nuances that add much to the experience. Since these are the same headphones used in most studios since the early '90s, what you hear is exactly what the artists heard when making the recording. It doesn't get any better than that.Read full review

As a former On-Air DJ/Radio Announcer, I had the opportunity to use and try out several headphones, but wasn't able to find anything better then the Sony MDR-7506. I bought my very first pair in 1997 for $125 and used it for 18 years (even after I got out of the DJ/Radio Industry) with no issues. Still same great sound. I was forced to buy another pair (found on ebay brand new for $80) after I lost my original ones moving. While there are other certain brands that cost upwards of $199 or $249 that you can purchase today, it would be interesting to see if they would still be in use and working 15-20 years from now. Bottom line is that DJ's know sound and a good pair of headphones. For the last 20 years you could go into almost every Major Radio Station or Recording Studio and find someone using the Sony MDR-7506, and the fact that it's still being used today in most Major Radio Station's and Recording Studios speaks for itself.Read full review
