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!

headphones are great

I bought these to play back music recorded on my Zoom H5. Works really well. Can hear Everything (acoustic guitar recording, I can even hear my breathing (not that I want to). As a bonus, I can plug these into my ipad and listen to youtubes, etc, and that sounds pretty good too. Glad I spent the money.

Great Product! For an even better PRICE!!

I highly recommend these Headphones, they are a steal for the price! I was going to purchase a pair of the main stream headphones that cost about 3 times as much. Luckily I asked a few people before I went and spent that much money. These are a fraction of the price & sound just a good if not better.

Sony MDR-7506 -- the greatest headphone ever!

This headphone is my studio staple for the past 20 years. Both crisp enough on the highs and powerful enough on the bottom end to hear the real audio signal. I purchase a new one every 2 or 3 years because I put a lot of wear and tear on them, but the price is great, so it's inconsequential. I'm so attached that I carry my personal phones while visiting another studio. Love 'em! Highly recommend 'em!

Sony 7506 Headphones

I've been using 7506's since 1989, I now own 26 pairs for my studio. No recording artists have ever disliked them. Many have gone out and bought a pair for themselves. Not to say other artists and engineers don't prefer other brands by a slight amount but I've never had a complaint of anyone not hearing their mix or fidelity. I especially like the bottom end of the 7506's to reference other CD's, my main speakers, and my near fields. For 23 years they've worked for me perfectly.

These are the best cans i have ever used, clear, precise accurate sound. We also use them for our drummer and bass player on our praise teams in our adult services and our youth services. A++++
