Reviews of Sony MDR7506 Large Diaphragm Foldable Headphones
Feature: Nice packaging. Comfortable.
Quality: reasonable enough. They have a reputation for being workhorse headphones in a studio. They look solidly made.
Value: if you like the boom-booms, the price is great.
Desirability: Were it not for the artificially boomy bass, they would be a "must have" in my studio. If you want accurate sound, look elsewhere. If you want artificially pumped and uncontrolled low frequencies, this is your headphone!!
Sound: Great mids and highs for a set of cans at this price. But, bass is artificially boomy. Personally gave me a headache. I worked with it for one day, mixed down a couple of songs recorded in my home studio. My mixes ended up weak in the bass because I kept turning the bass controls on the mixer down. I returned the headphones
Support: no experience
Overall: I sent it back and got the more neutral AKG 240M. I'm about 80% satisfied with these and decided to keep them for recording tracks. But for mixdown, I'm still looking for a reasonably accurate and comfortable set of cans: either AKG K271 or K501; Sennheiser HD 250, or Audio Technica ATH-M40fs. I obviously need more time to compare.
