@@AsBi1 mate. Ive had mine used and abused 20 years. Ive literally dropped them from a 2 floor window bu accident and they are still going despite cosmetic damage
MIne are about 18 years old. Multiple sets of pads. They are extremely well designed for their job. People enjoy other headphones more but you get an extremely good idea of what is wrong with a sound recording using these as a tool. I often think about getting a "better" set but there are simply not many affordable headphone that can be worn all day, rebuild with affordable OEM parts that do the job these cans do. The are not for audiophiles or music listening. They bring out sibiliance, they bring out muddiness, they are not only unforgiving but they accentuate bad dialogue recording. I hope Sony continues to manufacture this set for another 20 years. I should buy a couple more pairs as the drivers are the hard part to replace. A pair of the OEM drivers are expensive enough that buying a new pair is worth the money. I'm also curious how much my headphones have lost in performance over the last 18 years.
This are still the cans I always come back to. Had a pair 10 years ago that died in the field because it was *run over*. The set I have now I've had since 2013 and they were a pair that I took from my work (a/v outfit) and had already been used there by many people for several years before I took them over. I've repadded them twice. Still soldiering on. Chuck'm in bags, use them at home.... They just go. Best closed-back value for as long as some listeners have been alive.
I remember I watched this video to decide if I should get these headphones and I wanted to revisit the video because this is how I met Zeos and now I realise this was 6 years ago and I feel old now
I thought I commented on this back then... I've had a pair of these since 2012. Used pairs that belongs to other folks on and off for a decade before that. They'll easily last 5 years, if not 20. Mine have been re-padded twice - still stellar. They've mixed, recorded, done a ton of A/V work, all of it. And if they get stolen or stepped on they're not a crying $hame to replace. Killer cans.
Until recently all I've used to record and mix for years. Very reliable. Very balanced. Now I use Shure 440s more often. But also 770s, 681, M50X, Samson 850, 560s, etc
Sony made some "GREAT" home audio in the 70's, 80's & early 90's. Late 90's to early 2010's, just "CRAP"!!!! Now late 2010's to 2020 some "FANTASTIC" high-end!!!!
The MDR-7506 is quite flat from 120 hz to 12 kHz with both an increase above that, and a +3dB increase also at about 100 hz. Yes, a dip at 110 hz which makes for quite a natural scoop in the bass to mid area. Sorry Z but since you don't mix, you're missing the point of the 5604. Think of them as an on ear closed version of the HD-600 Senheizers.. any of the very small dips and bumps can be corrected with Sonarworks if even necessary. Below 100 hz they roll off pretty hard. A little tough to discern the 39 to 50 hz area when mixing. The bottom line is the Sony MDR-7506 translate quite well. Not in the best of audiophile listening ways, but in a surgical way. Flat mids with a slight V frequency curve, and very efficient at 63 ohms. That speaks volumes when so many other cans can't achieve that at even higher prices. The Senheizer HD-280 Pro is close but less hype in the high end and slightly fuller, less detailed bass. That Senheizer veil still remains and that's too bad. The Sony MDR 7506 are winners for mixing cans.
What´s the low end response compared to the Sennheiser HD-25 and the Technics EAH-DJ 1200? I´m not an audiophile or engineer, I just want heavy ass subbass. I was thinking about the Pioneer DJ HDJ-X7, but they are a bit too bulky (for the gym), and some say they feel their ears touching the membrane inside, which I wouldn´t like either. The Sony are the perfect size, very minimalistic. If they have enough subbass I would buy them.
Modding the 7506 with a detachable cable was the first thing I did. It felt mandatory to me. If there's this headphone I want and it doesn't have a detachable cable, I just don't bother anymore.
@@sinjon I wouldn't say Sony's stuff is crap by any means. But I also would say that other companies make much better audio equipment for better prices.
Love that theres a Z on these. Grabbed a 110 set and saw these and went back for them because your review. Staying plugged into my Focusrite as my guitar monitoring headphones.
Many will say that the DT250 velour pads are perfect on this. Nope. They change the sound for the worse, even if you tape all the holes on the back on them. But the M50x pads on this are magical! Comfort, durability, no sweating and kinda better sound. Give it a try. But only the original AT pads! No cheap chinese copies! Audio Technica calls them HP-EP, ASIN B00LICYRVW
Don't know about him... but I have had the MDR-V6's for years and years now.... They are great I put lambskin ear pads on mine and did a removable cable mod.. the cable mod is fine but since the ear cups don't rotate .. it is sort of meh cause I still don't want to take them out and about most of the time. especially with the stock cable they aren't good if you are going to take them out and about ..in fairness they were not ever designed for that.. but if you are going to be using them at home / work and not walking / commuting about with them.. they are hard to beat for $75~ very good sounding headphones for the price.
Just adding my two cents and saying I've used these as my daily driver headphones for the last couple years and they're easily the best I've personally owned. Incredibly comfortable and if it wasn't for the heavy cord I would forget they were even on my head. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't have huge amounts of cash to burn but still wants a comfortable/great sounding pair. Also they're the most durable pair I've owned.
I tried this and I found the exact opossite, like if they have a bass roll off under 100hz (no bass) and a very pronunced treble boost. Didnt worked for mixing either! I find this review very different to my personal experience!
@@fhowland I'm pretty sure they used a bad amp. If I use my phone, there's almost no bass and the highs are terribly accentuated, whereas if I use my Yamaha RX-V673 receiver, they suddenly open up and get a really flat frequency response all the way down to 10 hz! So in short, you need a good amp for these to be worth anything(just like every other pair of "good" headphones)
Beware, there are a lot of knock offs being sold, and these fit your description. The genuine product is amazing. If you experience what you described, I'm pretry sure you didn't receive a genuine product. Amazon, ebay, even some known resellers are selling knock offs.

After wearing it for half an hour, the headband is pressuring my head to the point where I feel pain...the earpads are not comfortable and inchies my the skin around my ears. I like the sound, but seems like I have a complete opposite experience.
hello, im from argentina, a friend go to usa and i cant decide if i buy the mdr 7506 or grados sr80x, i listend prog jazz (soft machine), the residents, the fall, other postpunk and classical (violin sonatas), can you help me??? poor country only one chance. Thanks!
Like your video. I have a question for U, this one or te Audio Technical's ATH- M40X, planning to buy one of the, for using with Walkman, discman and computer.
I honestly feel the exact opposite. I'm trying to produce my own music, (rap if you must know), but I feel like I cannot grasp the concept of why Sony pushes these as "Studio Headphones". To me it felt like the 7506's are colored just enough that things sound unnaturally good, to the point I went "wait, what?". I felt like the bass was over hyped, the mids were scooped out, and the highs sounded a bit harsh to my ears. You were not joking when you said it sounds like miniature subs on your head, I wound up feeling like it was straight up bass assault on m ears. I made the mistake of trying to do a rough mix on these. :( Rough indeed. I pulled up my beat on my studio monitors and went "where's my kick drum and why are my snares beating me in the face?". Overall I just didn't enjoy the false sense of good sound I got from these.
Very much pleasure over monitoring. I couldn't really judge because of the age. Several people tell me they have decent mids on theirs so 5 years may have done something to them.
ZeosPantera I'm not an audio expert. It was just my feeling of the cans. I think it could be that I had gotten a newer version, but I wouldn't know without testing.
That wholly depends on your preference for bass. This *may* not have enough bass for you. I'd say get the 7506 anyway and use it as some sort of control or reference headphone.
7506s are no longer what they once were. I have used Sony cans for decades: 7506, 7509, 7510, and 7520. The only one still made in the "professional" line are the 7506s and they sound nothing like they once did, and physically they are poorly made. Inaccurate sound, harsh, not overly comfortable, and physically creaky. Not good for critical listening, long form voiceover work, or even casual listening anymore. The only great cans in the line were 7520...with magnificent detail...and no longer made.
This is too late but someone might wonder the same. Not really V, they have very pronounced highs and a sudden boost in the 2-3 khz range, this makes them some serious bright cans with amazing crispiness used to highlight flaws in the recordings and thus widely famous among audio engineers, the case is similar to dt990 pros, very bright thus good for highlighting flaws. Although speaking with experience, after a lot of burn in, the low end gets very much improved and boosted which results in a more of a V signature. Hope this helps.
I'm debating whether or not to get these or the NVX. Or should I just get the takstars or maybe the koss portapros. I listen to mostly progressive metal.
Hard to call on a genre like progressive metal. The low end on the sony's is better than the NVX but the NVX are very clear in the highs which may benefit metal.

@@Rcwood777 Dont! I repeat dont put ZMF pads on them they further the drivers away from your head causing the High mids to low highs be some of the most uncomfortable and murderous things ever. I Dont reccomend unless your into medieval torture or some shit
Sony MDR-7506 is a total crap in terms of sound. It's like they've applied a fucking filter with a cranked up resonance. I swear, you guys absolutely deaf if you think this model is good.
Are you for real ? Sony makes the shittiest audio products, audio has never been their strong suite? Bold sweeping statements that warrant more attention. MDR-10 if you get your hands on. Or try the CD900st that looks exactly like the 7506 but blows this out of the water in every way.
Yes. Z made a uniformly uninformed, unsupported, blatantly biased blanket statement about Sony audio products performance. And I accidentally made unintentional onomatopoeias.

Sony makes a $2,000 pair of headphones
they look like ath-pro5mk2 O_o
Would the ZMF pads you rec. for the M40x work the same on these Sony's?
I don't know. I never tried and it may not have the same result.
Thanks.
@@Rcwood777 Dont! I repeat dont put ZMF pads on them they further the drivers away from your head causing the High mids to low highs be some of the most uncomfortable and murderous things ever. I Dont reccomend unless your into medieval torture or some shit
Would this be good for editing video as well as sound design ?
Video and audio editing should be the same unless you work with 5/7 channels
I use them for mixing.
This review is so fucking unreal. Dude really mini subwoofers????!!!! And hating on the m50????
I'm not convinced now
Highs can be rough though
Everybody always tells me these LACK bass...I've used mine across the board for about 10 years now.
yeah the mids are rolled off, the body of guitars piano voices are lacking.
Anyone.
Could you argue that these sound better in all areas?
I'v got the ATH-M30s are these the same? and what dac/amp should I use with these?
VS Sennheiser HD25-II ?
Hélio Solar sennhes
one is over ear the other is on-ear.
M50x vs KRK 8400?
Don't buy the 50s buy the 40s
M40x are better than m50x
Andrej Ilievski I can’t buy the audio technica’s they hurt my jaw. I was asking if the M50x sound signature is similar to the KRK 8400
@@nolashdemon That I don't know.
their impedance is too high and the double wire and the on ear design kill it for me. I know these are great, I could never use them.
ur funny AF got yoruself a sub hawwh
these or Brainwavz HM9
Think these sony's have a less crazy low end. Probably what I would go with.
Great headphones but no midrange? Shit headphones!!!!
Whoa, you have a fake. They don't come with that bag. Yikes!
They changed the bag to a cloth one in the past few years!! when this review was made it came with the bag he received
@@mckelepic Had to have been way earlier than a few years. I have bought them direct from Sony back in 2012 and the bag was fabric/mesh.
When I think "sony" my mind goes to PlayStation and nothing else matters lmao. They would be dead without PS.
These have all signs of a fake one
Sony MDR-7506 is a total crap in terms of sound. It's like they've applied a fucking filter with a cranked up resonance. I swear, you guys absolutely deaf if you think this model is good.
gosh people in this community are so arrogant.
Are you for real ? Sony makes the shittiest audio products, audio has never been their strong suite? Bold sweeping statements that warrant more attention. MDR-10 if you get your hands on. Or try the CD900st that looks exactly like the 7506 but blows this out of the water in every way.
Yes. Z made a uniformly uninformed, unsupported, blatantly biased blanket statement about Sony audio products performance. And I accidentally made unintentional onomatopoeias.
