sony mdr 7506

[nord]

i used to have some $40 (20gbp)phillips headphones but then i got these and they are well worth the money.
the main difference is clarity-you can hear clearer and you can place sounds better in your mind spacially
please vote i think these are well worth a recommendation

I'm fairly fond of my AKG K 240 DF headphones and the sounds I hear are spacially aligned rather well considering that I still live on Earth.

they seem to be a similar price to the sony about £70 maybe i will buy a pair

the thing i like about the sony`s is there is literally no noise that comes out of the non-earside (is that a word?)

The non-earside would normally be where your mouth is.

Brilliant!

I absolutely love my 7506's, but every pair I've owned has ended up with a static-ee driver.

These headphones are rocking IMO. The mids are somewhat shy which makes the highs and lows seem a little louder than they really are so I've learned to carve a little of the mids out of my mixes to compensate. It's a subtle issue though.
I voted outstanding value because not only do these sound excellent but they are built to take a beating. Dropping, sitting on, having things fall on them doesn't phase 'em at all. Tough little cans!

Static-ee driver = one of the speakers in the headphones start to sound crackly when audio is played through it.

mine were a little on the trebley side, but after they got stolen i didn't notice it so much.

I have owned them for about 2 years and their sound quality is excelent, I have compared them to the sennheiser 280s and I personally like them better. About the quality, they have taken a beat and are still intact. They only thing I have to complain about is the cable....it pulls like hell so its length is not that much.

The 7506's sound really good until you try the 7509's. I went to GC one day to buy some 7506's and made the mistake of trying out the 7509's also. I ended up leaving with nothing because the 7509's were too expensive.

They are about double the price of the 7506's.
