Sony MDR-7506

The cult model of monitor "ears" from Sony has been the flagship in the niche for the third decade, competing for superiority with the no less eminent competitor Sennheiser HD 280 PRO. In fact, the models are almost identical in terms of characteristics, with the only difference being that Sony is more compact and ... more popular.

Flagship in your hands

The popularity of the model plays to her, both in plus and in minus. There are many fakes on the market, so you need to be careful and choose trusted stores to buy.

In terms of ergonomics, the headphones deserve praise. They fit snugly, cut off all external noise, compactly fold into a branded soft case that comes with the kit.

A little disappointed are the vinyl ear cushions, which are quickly erased from intensive use. But you can order new ones, as, indeed, almost any other part of the headphones. The box even shows schematically how things change. The twisted long cable (3 m) looks reliable, which is confirmed by long-term operation, but it would be better if it was detachable.

real sound

The MDR-7506 is widely used in film and television dubbing, where an open soundstage with pronounced mid and high frequency detail is important. But, if you need to get a “killer” bass from them, just connect to an amplifier with the ability to equalize or a software player. Headphones really sound very comfortable for many, which is the reason for their high popularity.

The Sony MDR-7506 is the unsinkable cruiser in the monitor headphone fleet. 25 years of successful sailing in the music market is a worthy reason to choose this model.
