Get Pro-quality Sound from These Affordable 'Phones

Sony's MDR-7506 headphones are one of Sweetwater's most popular choices for professional studio monitoring and focused listening. You'll find MDR-7506 headphones in virtually every recording studio on the planet. Why? Because these exceptionally affordable headphones give you studio-quality sound and impressive sound isolation, but they're still comfortable enough that you can wear them for even the longest tracking or mixing sessions. Their closed-back design and thick earcups keep sound from leaking out into microphones, and they also provide a consistent listening environment anywhere you use them. And unlike most folding headphones, Sony MDR-7506s can easily withstand the abuse of daily wear.

Sony MDR-7506 Closed-Back Headphones at a Glance:
  • Exceptional sound quality for any application
  • Closed-back earcups lock sound in and block out noise
  • Flexible and foldable design provides maximum comfort and convenience
Exceptional sound quality for any application

Sony MDR-7506 closed-back headphones are known throughout the music industry and beyond as one of the best-sounding yet most reasonably priced headphones available. We could say it's because of their large, well-tuned 40mm drivers or their gold connectors and oxygen-free copper, but truthfully, there isn't only one thing that accounts for how good they sound. The fact is that more Sweetwater customers recommend MDR-7506s than just about any other headphones for one simple reason: they simply sound amazing.

Closed-back earcups lock sound in and block out noise

Part of what makes listening through a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones such an exceptional experience is their earcup design. To provide you with extraordinary acoustic isolation, Sony gave their MDR-7506 headphones thick, widely spaced earcups. These earcups not only reduce ear fatigue (a major bonus for those extra-long listening sessions), but they also lock sound in. That means you don't have to worry about your monitor mix bleeding into your microphone when you record or your amp overpowering your headphones.

Flexible and foldable design provides maximum comfort and convenience

It's a good thing Sony includes an 1/8"-1/4" adapter with their MDR-7506 headphones because you're going to want to use them with your iPod, too. What's more, they fold down neatly, so you can take your MDR-7506s with you wherever you go. Want to monitor single-eared? No problem! Swiveling mounts let you choose whichever ear you prefer (that makes them great for DJ use, too). And no matter what size your head is, a fully adjustable headband that's firm but not too tight makes MDR-7506 headphones a perfect fit for anyone!

Sony MDR-7506 Closed-Back Headphones Features:
  • Perfect headphones for professional studio monitoring, detailed listening, DJing, or just enjoying music wherever you are
  • Closed-back design provides you with a consistent listening environment while isolating sound inside and outside of your headphones
  • Fully adjustable headband provides maximum comfort
  • Durable folding design provides quality that lasts for years and folds down for easy portability
  • Stereo UniMatch plug allows you to plug into both 1/4" and 1/8" headphone jacks
  • Gold connectors and oxygen-free copper cord give you top-quality sound transmission
  • Frequency response extends from 10Hz to 20kHz - easily covering the whole audible spectrum
  • Includes a handy soft case
Sony's incredibly affordable MDR-7506 headphones give you top performance in the studio, onstage, and on the go!

Sony Headphones.....my standard for over 30 years!!

As a live audio engineer for 20 years, I used Sony MDR headphones to monitor my live mix. They travelled around the world with me and never once failed me.

Now, as a home studio artist, I have my second pair and they sound incredible. I run them through my mixers as I record Bass, Keyboards, drums and vocals. I have a second pair on my bass rig in my apartment. They have incredible SPL (sound pressure level) to the point where you can actually "feel" the bass response. They never distort and they fold up nicely for storage. They are very light weight and comfortable. I have tried other headphones and I always come back to the Sony MDR headphones.

I recommend these headphones to anyone and everyone who wants a good set of headphones that last through time.

Sony's no baloney! This is the second set I've bought. My first set of Sony's are still going strong! And I'm hard on gear. They absolutely stand up to stress. I'm a bass player and drummer and use them for backing tracks. For the price, fidelity and toughness I would highly recommend them!

Not too bad for the price.

These are not as crisp and defined as I would have liked but they get the job done. Nice flat response. I have an apartment studio so volume and space is a premium. I just use the Micro Monitors my IK Multimedia and a trusted pair of headphones to work. For a while I was using Pioneer DJ headphones but they were heavy on the bass.

The headband had metal bracing which is big plus. I one had a fancy pair of Shure headphones that broke after 6 months because of the cheap plastic headband.

Overall, you can't go bad for the price.
