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 consistant 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 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 truth is, there's no one thing that accounts for how good they sound. The fact is, 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), 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 from overpowering your headphones.

Flexible and foldable design provides maximum comfort and convenience
It's a good thing Sony includes a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter with their MDR-7506 headphones - 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 chose whichever ear you like (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 isolation sound inside and outside of your headphones
  • Fully adjustable headband provides maximum comfort
  • Durable folding design provides quality that lasts for years, but 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 as low as 10Hz and all the way up 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!

These are just great. If you like your volume really loud they will leak through a little sound. If you like your volume just loud they are very fine!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
