Reviews around response (4.45 of 5)

  • They have a nice flat frequency response and are very sensitive
  • Good headphones, and the flat response is what I expected.
  • For the price and the inaccurate "flat frequency response" these get a hard pass.
  • They are far from the generally preferred boring "flat" frequency response, adding mid depth and a bit of shine to the high frequencies
  • I love the flat and true frequency response I get in the Studio with these headphones.

Reviews around sony (4.02 of 5)

  • Received an authentic pair of Sony headphones (not fakes)
  • I used to buy cheap Sony headphones every two years or so -- after testing these out, I know there's no going back now
  • The headphones I was using for my Mac computer were awful these Sony headphones are great!
  • Too bad Sony doesn't make a wireless headphone with anywhere near this sound
  • Sony has always had a warm sound signature and engineers have even complained about the inauthentic emphasis on the high end and it hugs it in and gives it a nice warm hug

Reviews around music (3.94 of 5)

  • These were bought to use in my home studio to do music mixing and mastering
  • It's been fun rediscovering all my favorite music again
  • These headphones do a great job of isolating you and the music
  • I enjoy good music, but with all the external noises around my apartment, I couldn't really enjoy it - until I purchased my Sony MDR7506 headphones.
  • and they go completely silent when I pause the music - no no white noise or hissing whatsoever.

Reviews around bass (3.59 of 5)

  • Great quality for the price, wire is long and seems durable, bass is a bit lacking.
  • Sound is clear on high end and has clear bass sounds which are not distorted.
  • Sound is very clean with just enough bass to rumble you ears
  • Excellent sound quality, but the bass is weak for my liking.

Reviews around cord (3.29 of 5)

  • Very comfortable, excellent sound reproduction, nice long cord
  • Have great sound quality, a really long cord and are really comfortable
  • The only downside I would have about them would be the cord
  • Wouldn't recommend wearing them around and doing things; the cord is heavy and a bit much to be carrying around.

Reviews around plastic (2.71 of 5)

  • I really don t like these earphones, They sound real tinny to me
  • Second one plastic around ear pads is deteriorating leaving black pieces everywhere.
  • Joints, cheap plastic, low quality cords have all plagued my past
  • They're comfortable enough, but the plastic on the earpads gets sweaty after a while.
  • These have a tinny sound to them, as well as when listening with them, i hear what sounds like an old 33 1/3 record scraping sound through them.

Reviews around ambient noise (2.67 of 5)

  • I use these in the studio as well as for the TV late at night
  • The headphones sound great and enough of the ambient noise is eliminated to make them useful for monitoring video camera audio in classroom environments
  • for headphones without active noise cancellation these do an impressive job of blocking out a large amount of ambient noise- an added bonus
  • The do have a nice snug fit on my head and i don't hear much ambient noise and have the Sony name, but if the are uncomfortable, they aren't worth owning.
  • I needed something to analysis ambient noise from audio recording.

Reviews around star (2.64 of 5)

  • If surround cushioning were a half inch thicker and the isolation a hair better I would given 5 stars
  • I'll just say I knocked a star off because I just couldn't deal with the sibilance
  • These have a tinny sound to them, as well as when listening with them, i hear what sounds like an old 33 1/3 record scraping sound through them.
  • (Thanks Amazon!)I certainly couldn't in all honesty give these a 5 star rating nor would a 1 star or 2 star rating be appropriate either
  • I knocked off a star because the coiled cord is pretty heavy and gets in the way / becomes awkward

Reviews around option (2.45 of 5)

  • But What If I'm Already An Audiophile: Maybe you got a pair of Beats or Bose and heard there were better cheaper and nicer options on the market and these came up
  • Wonderful!Cons--*Lacks an option to change out the cord
  • Great cans, as reviews go they may seem a little flat compared to bass enhanced ones, still a very good option for high fidelity sound.
  • Wonderful!Cons--*Lacks an option to change out the cord
  • These headphones are relatively cheap in comparison to some of the more expensive options out there, but they contain much more sound quality than the competitor brands

Reviews around bite (2.23 of 5)

  • they can become a bit uncomfortable after wearing them for extended periods of time
  • It would be helpful if you could exchange the cord for a straight cord, as the headphones would be a bit more portable (you probably wouldn't want to wear them out of the house though, as no would accuse them of being lookers,) but no complaints otherwise.
  • They also cut out a good bit of outside sound, which is nice if you're trying to focus and there's ambient sound.
  • I really don t like these earphones, They sound real tinny to me
  • Nothing that can't be fixed by swiping the sweat from the ears, and scratch them a bit

Reviews around wire (2.18 of 5)

  • Aside from the original ear pads the exposed wire probably the only downside, but if careful shouldn't be a problem.
  • But it is not the perfect headphones: the wire is really cumbersome
  • Best wired headphones you can buy, very little, if any, background noise.

Reviews around version (1.95 of 5)

  • However, I won't stand by Amazon LLC selling me a shoddy version of the product itself
  • I've owned various Sony headphones in the past (mostly the cheaper $20.00+ versions) and they were always decent sounding
  • Unfortunately, I've replaced two sets of cushions with inferior versions
  • in a cheaper box?Specifically, did Sony decide to do some cost cutting of its own by making a cheaper box for the MDR7506?This may not be the case with MDR7506s being sold from China, however, it may explain why certain MDR7506s alleged to have been manufactured in Thailand were packaged in one box while other MDR7506s were packaged in a cheaper version of the more expensive box
  • When my last pair of Sony MDR headphones finally gave out after many years of dutiful service, I was set on buying the most similar version currently available

  • Great sound, very durable, these bad boys have been to 5 countries with me in the past 6 months and are still holding strong
  • I receive great joy every time that I whip this bad boys out and slap em on my ears
  • You're considering slipping Bose or Beats your credit card money but you thought to Google some cheaper yet effective alternatives to see if you even need "Audiophile" grade headphones and you keep hearing about these bad boys
  • My employees are not happy with it, but they know not to mess with me when I've got these bad boys on

Reviews around loop (1.00 of 5)

  • One star deducted for those ugly, clumsy loops of wire.
  • I personally hate the extra loops of speaker-wire extruding from the intersection of the headband and earpieces, but that's unfortunately not uncommon with monitor headphones
