The Sony 7506 are industry standard for a long, long time. Prolific headphones you will see everywhere if you look closely at people making films, recording artists. Sony 7506 are a rock solid suggestion
Hmmm....I thought it was the V6
@@benji888578 look similar but they are really mdr-7506s
good night moon what I meant was, I thought the V6 was the choice for pros...the 7506 has enhanced highs and can be hard to handle, whereas the V6 is not and may actually bring out things just slightly in the mids that’s especially helpful for studio work. I’ve owned the V6.
had my mdrv6 headphones for 10 years and still love them. i haven’t wanted a different set of headphones since i got them. i especially enjoy using them for watching movies and gaming plugged right into my receiver.
Newer Sony’s has Hi Res Audio on the packaging instead of Digital ready. Marketing is wonderful!
I broke my V6 doing a detachable cable mod. Maybe not the M50x but I'd say a detachable cable is a must have if it has a studio length cable. I had them for 6 years before modding so I'm not too upset about it.
Thanks for the vid. I've been using MDR7506 pro for like 10 years now and the sound is the best I've heard. They recently just broke so I'm shopping around to see if anything can beat them
Please get the Sony Japanese MDR CD900 ST - well worth the extra price. Made BY and FOR Japanese sound engineers...that should say it all ;)
can you please do a video about changing the wire ?
Sir, straight off the bat I found yr' video good - a lot of comments here about the sound quality of yr' vid - for me you can't always have things perfect - just listen a bit more intently and make allowances - important thing is to get the jyst of what yr' saying and the message yr' trying to get across - yr' simply saying, consider studio monitors for personal listening - I like to look outside the square when I'm researching and making buying decisions, that's why I've been researching studio monitors for personal listening - my reckoning is that the people designing studio monitors are going to put more effort into how they sound - recording artists and professional mixers are going to be more astute when it comes to particular sound quality (they know what they're looking for) I'm planning to give MDR7506 a shot - thank you - greetings from Philippines
Hello, thank you for this video! I see you have a digital piano. I'm trying to decide between the MDR-7506 and ATH-M40X because I've just bought a Kawai ES110 digital piano and I want a good headphone, flat sound, to use with my piano. Can you suggest any? Thanks!
Ty convinced me to buy Sony MDR-7506 for music production and also for my digital piano.
How do you like them?
@@GalaxyNexus1 They are pretty flat, which is good for music production or practicing. I like them.
@@RabbitConfirmed thanks for the quick reply. I'm considering them to use in a small home booth to record voice overs but became hesitant as some people have said they're uncomfortable. Do you agree? I could be using them for 2-3 hours at a time.
@@GalaxyNexus1 Personally I think they are pretty comfortable. I think you should give them a try. I mean they are used in most music and movie production studios for a reason.
@@RabbitConfirmed thanks alot!
very good video. i liked and subbed. ;)
I’ve owned my MDR-V6 since 1988. They are still my favorites. I bought a pair of the Audio Technica ATH-M50x, but I think the Sony sounds better all around. I can’t find the V6 for sale any more, so I’m going to pick up a set of the 7506 just as a backup. Thanks for the video.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Nice vid thank you!
ATH-M40x I hear that they are more flatter than the ATH-M50x which have a little extra bass, maybe are better for studio monitoring. I wish you had tested these instead but its too late now.
not true !! go on rtings.com and compare frequency response m40x vs m50x ..... m50x is more flat.
Dang. That's probably why Bannon has those. Thanks!
I'm gonna buy the 7506 for gaming.
An NPC smacks their lips in the village over and you'll hear it.
I did an unboxing of the V6 on my channel. It's cool how we're on the same page when it comes to making vids and using headphones 😂
The 7506 were made much better back in the early 90's. My first ones lasted about 10 years. My most recent ones only lasted about 2 years.
The highs are really harsh, in fact they sound fake airy treble. Mids are lacking but bass is very clean
good info....
thank you bro after watch this vid now my option is Sennheiser hd380pro and Sony MDR-7506 which one you recommend bro?
I have tried other Sennheiser's but not the Sennheiser hd380pro. For me the Sennheiser's tend to lack bass, but that could just be me. For me I would stick with my MDR-7506. Thanks and good luck.
for digital piano, is it better the mdr-7506 or the audio technica ath-m50x? thanks
Any great DAC's or AMPS that you recommend? And also which do you use?
Truthseeking Troll i use a fiio dac, beauitful high quality sound
ESS Quad DACs in LG phones, they're dirt cheap if u want a nice music/media player that is also a phone if u need it
Focusrite Scarlette
Just tried the Sony MDR-7506 vs the MDR-6V. I'd take the 6V anytime over the 7506 which came across harsh at times because of their very accentuated highs. The MDR-6V are amazing for their price point!
Or even the V6
Yes, wish Sony still made the V6, there’s nothing like it in that price range.
@@benji888578 : I hadn't realized they discontinued them. I got mine about a year ago new from Amazon for I think about $78.00 or something close to that. Anyway, just looked on Amazon, wow they've shot up in price bigtime. Amazon has one new set listing for $297.92 , yikes! Amazon new and used shows (5) new and used from $229.99!
flashbak01 yeah, and hope it’s not a knockoff if you buy one...there’s a well done vid on here about V6 knockoffs. ....I wish there was a review where someone found a match to the V6, but, there probably isn’t any headphone just like it, which is why Sony kept making it for 3 decades+. ...I slept with my last pair on...bad idea, one of the little wires came out and now one side no longer works. Not sure if I can fix it. My previous pair lasted about 10 years.
Is it just me, or V6's are a lot more expensive now? Did they stopped producing them?
Hi brother which u think the better one for gaming fps to listen footsteps accurate directions
I have sony mdr 7506 and i like the bass but i want something better please
Thanks
Both the Sony headphone would be very accurate for discerning things like footsteps in games.
HI. Actually I see you have a digital piano in the background which is perfect because I am looking for some headphones to use with my digital piano? Which do you think would be best to get the best sound from them. Also, I have the Galaxy II Pianos virtual software and I want to get the best sound when I play them from my computer which do you think would be best for that? Thank you.
We use the Sony MDR-V6 on our piano. Works great.
@@FiguringItOut1 would you recommend them over the sony mdr 7506? Which would be more accurate out of these two?
@@rob26b They are both so close you are probably good with either. However, if one is more accurate than the other it would probably be the 7506. Thanks!
Try some Sony MDR-V7 if you can get hold of some, great headphones .
93 years. hearing impaired. need wired on or around ear headphone for TALKING ON ANDROID PHONE. Hearing music not essential. suggestion,
R Venkat Gradio 60e headphones have great articulation for voice. You should give them a try.
Hello i just got a pair of mdr-v6 headphones, i chose them because currently on amazon there is a large price difference, i got mine for $58 around 60 with tax. thank you
Hey bro.nice! Where do you live? Did you had free shipping?
@@PsychoCaki Nevada, yes the shipping was free. the sale is over sadly but that doesnt mean there wont be another.
@@PsychoCaki its a little strange, i believe after my research that they are shipping with nylon bags now, i contacted them at first thinking it was fake and they gave me another pair with the same thing. the drivers look the same except there is no identification numbers on them
@@PsychoCaki it was sold by amazon and not a 3rd party on amazon and amazon is a sony approved retailer
@@trevorwilliams1783 yeah I heared that they are changing bags and stuff so I dont need to be afraid of that. As long Thailand is on them 😀😂
I do voice-over work, and I'm gonna get one pair, which one do you recommend: Audio-Technica ATH-M40s, Sennheiser 280HD Pro, or
Sony MDR7506?
I'm really confused.
@Icez storm I got M40x over the others, and I think I'm in love with it.
Why not 280HD? cause it's a little boring.
Why not MDR? It's a great choice for the buck, but the sound it's not pure flat, it has a little harshness in the high frequency.
So, I think the AT is the best for me, and you.
It even sounds great in music.
That's my advice to you.
I'm so undecided between the two. Which one sounds the most flat?
Probably Sony
I have both as well. The Sony’s are much flatter and brighter. I love them both but when using the 7506’s, I sometimes feel like I’m hearing songs I’ve heard a million times for the first time.
@@robertrosario9495 at the end i bought the audio technica because of the replaceable cable and nicer design. It's true, the sony were probably flatter, but in any case with sonarworks reference any headphone can be, so the eq isn't a problem now. I also bought a dt880 the last month (at only 90 euros), which i love and use the most now
Personal opinion get the audio technica M40X
I bought the M59X and they're just too punchy and the treble is like knives stabbing your ears so it sent them back for the M40X. What a difference in sound.
M40X better sound without the M50X Luxurys
Good video setup and information, but the low sound quality with noise and the constant video cuts make this video almost unbearable to watch.
? no
The AT's I found had poor quality & excessive low end / the 7506's highs are too harsh, grainy / the V6 is fairly good but the Japanese MDR CD900 ST is far better (the AT40 are much better than the 50's btw :)
yeah, that's what I've heard about the 7506s as well. They're meant for critical listening and are primarily used in broadcasting/recording studio. I've had the ATH M40s and while I love thier sound, they get to be heavy over time as the little clamping force that they have tends to wear out (unless you have a larger noggin I suppose). I've briefly tried the V6s in the past and even purchased them for someone as a gift. IIRC they're really light to wear and the sound signature was something that I thought that I could do for everyday listening or extended listening. It might just be me, but I think that personal use headphones should be good for long listening sessions without fatigue or ear ringing. Something that runs a little hot on the treble kind of defeats the whole purpose for me.
@@stopthrm Just to add that I bought the Brainwavez Sheep leather pads for the CD900 ST and the sound is much improved - more well rounded and balanced (from the point of view of listening to music) In terms of using them as monitor headphones in the studio then they work particularly well in that regard. The engineer who tuned them took years to get them how he wanted them ! He tuned them to let you hear exactly what is 'heard' at the microphone. Pads can often make or break the sound signature of a headphone
I've heard audio tech M50Xs have a "boomy" bass. The M40Xs don't have that issue. Can anyone confirm?
I have both the 50x and the 40x and I enjoy the 40x model more. Of course it all depends on the quality of the player they are coming from but overall the 50x are a tad too "dark", meaning they are overly bassy and not as clear in the mids and vocals as the 40x. The 40x is more of a nice neutral,clear and precise sound without giving away any bass or crystal clear sound. The 50x sound a little wider (soundstage) but not enough to really make me change my mind. This is a subject that you will never get a straight answer, it's all subjective but this has been my experience for 2 years. If you have an extra $75 get the ultimate Sennheiser hd600.
@@mikeb.7845
Thanks for your reply. I have had the m40x for a few days now and i am very pleased with my purchase! I have beats, but i wanted something for voice recording. I had no clue how SHITTY my beats were until now. I will still use them as my backpack pair leaving my m40x at home! And i got the m40x after my old sennheisers that i found at a garage sale years ago FINALLY kicked the bucket. I loved those, but i think my m40x is better than those! Couldn't tell you what kind of senns they were. 😊
Alice's Rabbit would you recommend the m40s for instrument playing?
@@mysteryperson3979
I honestly think that for any professional recordng, WHERE YOU WANT THE HONESTY OF EXACTLY what your instrument, voice, beat, etc., sounds like, these m40x cans are hard to top. JMHO as someone who has owned several pairs across different brands...
Alice's Rabbit perfect. thanks for the response. i’ve been looking around for something long term and that i can play with my e drums, guitar, or hear back any vocals. so this might be the headphones that i’d go for.
ive had a few of the 7506's.... have a love/hate thing with em... love the sound, hate the non-replaceable coiled cord... love the feel of the pads, HATE how readily the pads disintegrate... to the point that i just stopped using/buying them...
You can get replace the pads, get better ones, for either 7506 or V6
@@benji888578 yes, thanks... easy... replacing the cord however, NOT easy... my solution? i simply don't use ANY 'phones without detachable cords... if Sony (or any company) wants my biz, they're gonna have to make detachable cords, a la beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, and some AKG...
I recommend Dekoni's Midnight pads under their cheaper "Earpadz" line. It's pretty good quality. I got mine b-stock though so it was cheaper.
how about open back headphone???which one do u prefer
I have little expierience with open back. I usually listen near other people so open back have not been an attractive option. It is my understanding that there are some very nice sonding open back headphones. I have heard that they can be light on the lower end.
I own the Sennheiser HD598 as my open back pair. This pair costs less than $200, and it's an excellent pair for those on a budget. I've had them for almost three years, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for that price range.
I've owned the V6 since the 90's as my only headphone & when I finally decided to add a 2nd pair of headphones last year, I went with an open back in the AKG K702 pro which I got for a really good deal brand new [Made in Slovakia] for under $250
I use my headphones everyday... anywhere from 15-20 hours - lots of music & online videos +).(+
Beyerdynamic DT 990, I'm in love with them. If you have a bit extra cash go for the DT1990 and a good decent headphone amp
"I choose closed-back because I think it's nicer to contain it" Well, you're missing out on a lot _nicer_ sounding audio, from open-back phones.
Huh? Open phones allow background noise, closed block much of the background noise, so, definitely better sound with closed.
@@benji888578 No. Open-back headphones produce better, more natural sound than closed-back, generally, no matter if there is total silence or 14 helicopters in your room.
X-Tech Gam!nG well then you’ve not listened to Sony MDR-V6. ...Yeah, I tried some very cheap closed headphones and they sounded terrible.
@@benji888578 I have not. Because I prefer more natural, better sounding headphones(open-back).
* * * What the Hell is with all the Cuts / Edits ???
He thinks he's Bill Shatner
Yeah, I couldn't take it for more than 43 seconds.
Don't edit video like that - your constant cuts are annoying.
Dear God. That was painful.
Ur break cuts were annoying but interesting. reminded me of jump cuts. Stay cool. 😊😊
BTW I can 100% agree with you. I have 300$ "Beats Studio" headphones and they sound gross!
A shame that they even have the name "Studio" in it! Also noise cancellation is a desaster, it sounds so weird with it and after using it half an hour your ears hurt!
Even my 90$ "HyperX Cloud II" PC Headphones sound better than this fucking stupid beats!
And the beats are not even comfortable, they hurt after 1h or so.
Beats are shit headphones, overrated
The video cuts are annoying. Can't watch after 30 secs
At first I thought my tablet was spazzing
the cuts are awful
