But the same goes for many headphones, so what makes these Sony’s different?

Accuracy lets you hear the detail in the mix, both good and bad.
The headphones you buy for listening to music are designed to make the music sound great.
Studio headphones should reproduce every last bit of the music.

But while accuracy is important, consistency beats everything because it allows you to calibrate your own brain.
This might be the MDR 7506’s biggest strength.
Without a doubt, I would keep buying them over and over…
Theyre everywhere.

To paraphrase an old computer industry saying, nobody ever got fired for buying MDR 7506s.
Sound Investment
Thats not to say the MDR 7506s sound bad.
Some folks use them as everyday headphones for music, this writer included.
But thats not true.
In my experience, the difference is more like the oversaturated showroom mode on TV sets.
Fine for comparisons, but what you really want every day is something neutral.
I love the MDR 7506s, and I listen to music on Yamaha monitor speakers at home.
And Im not the only one.
“Without a doubt, I would keep buying them over and over, only $100!”
There are plenty of better headphones out there, but the MDR 7506s are the perfect all-rounder.
