Description

The MDR-7506 is an around-the-ear design and is ideal for use with MIDI workstations, camcorders or other equipment with less than powerful headphone amplification. The headphone has a foldable design, making it convenient to store or transport, and its coiled cable allows it to stretch and spring back into place whenever you need a bit more reach.

  • Circumaural closed-back stereo headphone ideal for use in professional applications
  • 40mm diameter drive units deliver deeper bass, lower distortion and wider dynamic range
  • Neodymium magnets for maximum energy and minimum size
  • Compact, foldable design
  • Coiled cable allows for better mobility, and reach, while also preventing snags from tugging the headphones right off your ears
  • OFC cable and gold plated Unimatch plug provides both 1/8" mini-jack and 1/4"TRS phono connectivity

Best mixing headphones!

...beautifully. Now everyone talks about flat frequency response, and when I tried the sonarworks Correction curve on my Sony MDR7506 ( which is supposed to make them flatter) the vertical was gone. So for those who mix using a flat response do you listen to something different that the vertical relationship of...

New Neumann NDH-30 open back headphones

Common to a lot of headphones seems to be that low roll off and that chaotic looking 2-8k range. Some freq are dipped dramatically, others are boosted significantly. With the NDH30s as an example...there must be a reason they chose to dip that 2khz so much and boost, what is it...4k? 2khz is a really...

These phones are a common choice in the $100 and under price bracket, but I don't think they are the best choice. They are pretty reliable, but like most headphones, are built kinda cheap. They don't feel very 'solid', though they'll work fine and can take fair amount of abuse and drops. One thing...

These aren't the best cans in the market, but I have seen these in nearly every studio and live rig I've seen. They are reference cans. After a short break in time, the near flat response is consistent over time. While the ear can acclimatize to any headphone, the MDR 7506 provides a pretty neutral...

I love my Sony MDR 7506s. My first pair is a hand me down that the previous owner had for years and thought would give out any day. That was almost two years ago. I still use them every session. They sound great. All of my other headphones would break after 1 year of use (right outside the...

They have a very honest sound and are nearly colorless. I used Yamaha NS-10's for my near field playback and used these phones to make sure that the mix was correct - comparing these two references. Ah; it was the way I did things at the time. But it worked. Very honest sound that I felt was...
