Jackdaw’s Odradek –
Quality headphones, like other HiFi equipment, are always going to be a highly personal, subjective thing. I own a few pairs of headphones. Each of them have their various pros. However, comparing these Sony MDR-7506’s to other highly-regarded, similarly-priced headphones, for example, the excellent Sennheiser HD560S, the Philips Fidelio X2HR & the Sennheiser HD598, these Sony MDR-7506’s are probably the ones that I spend the most time listening to music. I’ve owned them since February, 2024. Though in fairness, it’s a very close thing with the equally superb Sennheiser HD560S. Both excel for overall quality in their price range.I use them with Cambridge Audio HiFi. Aside from the Sony’s relatively lighter weight & added comfort for longer listening sessions, all without getting too warm, what I love most about them is their excellent clarity, brightness & vibrancy. I’d swear that I can hear more higher frequency music & detail on certain songs, more clearly, with the Sony MDR-7506’s than with my other quality headphones. Though once again, it’s a close thing with the brilliant Sennheiser HD560S’s. The latter offer better overall separation & depth, but their RRP is also significantly higher.An unqualified 5 Stars for the Sony MDR-7506’s. They excel with their excellent clarity & vibrancy among other similarly-priced, quality headphones. Outstanding value!

Excellent headphones, much better sounding than the Audio technica R70X’s.That lasted seven weeks! Very neutral sounding With a controlled very deep bass.And with natural sounding midrange, and high’s. I can see why they are labelled professional, with the sound quality they give.As some other reviewers have stated, these headphones are the choice of professionals recording studios. And I can well believe it, with the sound quality they give.I use my pair, to listen to music, with my old analogue Technics HiFi. They work really well, with this format, and the sound quality is sublime.They are very sensitive, and pick up errors in music recordings, that you won’t hear through speakers. It can be disconcerting at first, until to recognise the errors.For example, on Al Stewarts Year of the cat album.On the first track ” Lord Granville. ” there is a slight knocking sound in the recording.When you hear it.It sounds like someone knocking on the door! It bought me out .I should add, they are very comfortable with the fabric ear pads.I can wear them for four hours, at a time. With no discomfort.Some reviewers, have said these headphones last for over a decade. I would be happy at that .They also sound good at higher volumes,without sounding strained or distorted.I would say, that that you get what you pay for.And these headphones are no exception! I’m very happy with mine.And I would replace them, with the same again. When they are worn out.Yes, they are easily worth the money. I highly recommend them for music use.

The Sony MDR-7506/MDR-V6/MDR-CD900ST is what many people in the audio space call a “tried-and-true” design. A simple metal headband with a vinyl finish and plastic driver housing. Though plastic, it is a very reliable material that can handle heavy usage and light weather. The three similar, yet different designs can be identified by the text on the driver. The CD900ST and V6 has a sticker that screams “FOR DIGITAL”, while the 7506 has a sticker that says “PROFESSIONAL”. I’d take off the sticker, looks even more professional.Beside sound, a headphone is worth buying if it is comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. The MDR-7506 is exactly that… if you have a smaller head. Though the headphone is light and the headband is able to cater for large heads, the pads do not. They are intentionally shallow to improve treble response and localisation (the ability to locate where certain sounds come from). If you are someone who has a large head, change the pads the second you get these. They will press against your outer ear, which gets pretty uncomfortable after an hour or two. I recommend a good quality leather pad such as the SOULWIT’s or the YAXI stPad 2. These pads has more cushioning and better sealing, which helps with noise isolation and bass response. Actually, even if you have small heads, get new pads. The pleather material is likely to wear off quickly, especially in humid environments. Another thing you can do for comfort is to slightly bend the headband. As the headband is metal, it can be bent to suit larger heads better. Other than these small issues, the MDR-7506 is fairly light and comfortable for long usage.When it comes to sound, the best way to describe it would be “neutral-warm” that shows “honest” qualities. These do show flaws in recordings, the quality of the file you are listening to, and more subdued details that not many headphones within this price point cannot. The only headphone that can do this are the Koss PortaPro or the Koss KSC75 (technically an ear-speaker, but whatever). The bass is slightly warm, which more listeners tend to prefer. This helps with bass (the instrument), kick drums, timpanis, and footsteps. The mids are clear and revealing. Each and every part of the band is present without presenting honk or sounding hollow, and the treble is neutral, if slightly extended.This headphone is definitely recommended if you want a “honest” sounding headphone that will last you decades.

A Serious Tool for Critical Listening
If you’re looking for accurate, spacious sound for professional or detailed listening, the MDR-MV1 delivers. Not casual headphones, but a very capable tool in the right hands.Sound:Exceptionally clear and balanced. The open-back design gives a wide, airy soundstage, and you can really hear into the mix. Bass is accurate rather than hyped, so if you’re looking for “fun” or boosted low end, these won’t be it. But if you want to hear everything, they deliver.Comfort:Very lightweight with large, soft earpads. I’ve worn them for long sessions without fatigue. The clamping force is gentle, and they stay put without pressure.Build:Sturdy but minimalist. Not flashy, mostly matte black. The cable is detachable and locks in securely. No unnecessary frills—just a focus on function.Notes for buyers:These are open-back, so sound leaks in and out. Not ideal for public use or noisy environments.They’re meant for studio/reference use, so they’ll expose flaws in recordings (which is the point).I’m not into spatial audio, so can’t really comment on the quality of that feature.

A nice and budget Sony experience
After testing various Beyerdynamics, Audio Technica, Philips, Hifiman, and Shure headphones, I have chosen to continue using this particular model.While it has its shortcomings, there are several aspects that contribute to its overall appeal.The ear pads and structure are somewhat uncomfortable, small, and fragile in various ways.Despite these drawbacks, the headphones produce excellent sound quality and provide a highly enjoyable listening experience with anything. This is particularly noteworthy given their rarity as studio-grade headphones used as an overall headphone.I find them to be a good choice for gaming.

Excellent product
The sound isolation is quite good, although it could be better, I’m still very happy with it. They’re comfortable too, and the sound quality is nice. They have a long cord, and after you remove the end piece on the cord, it’s super easy to plug into your computer to start using it.

amazing sound for the price
I had read about these headphones and seen them on a few videos with performers using them in studio. Even with these expectations, the Sonys are impressive. To my ears, they are detailed and revealing. They do enhance my enjoyment of the music and reveal stuff in tracks already familiar to me. Excellent value for the money sonically. Build quality is OK but not impressive. You can’t have everything on a budget. Highly recommended for the price!
