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

Unfortunately, I've replaced two sets of cushions with inferior versions

However, I won't stand by Amazon LLC selling me a shoddy version of the product itself

however.)Short version: cheap in cost, not in quality

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

I've owned various Sony headphones in the past (mostly the cheaper $20.00+ versions) and they were always decent sounding

However, both versions detected a "mistake" left in during the first two minutes, which sounded like someone dropped a silver dime during recording

Perfect!I like the neutral sound

great i now have them again
