Sony MDR7506 Headphones

by Joe Wallace

As a DJ, musician, video editor, and reporter I have used every kind of headphones you can imagine, from the goofy one-ear monitor that you see people wearing with Sony Betacam professional video cameras to high-end Sennheisers and Audio Technicas.

But I keep coming back to these Sony MDR7506 headphones. They sound great, and while not indestructible they do take a bit of a beating and keep coming back for more. I recommend them…I can’t say they are the most COMFORTABLE headphones in the world  but they do get the job done and then some. If you’re looking for sound far better than those crappy white earbuds, or just starting to outfit a studio or road tour kit with some decent gear, these under-$100 Sony headphones are a very good way to go.
