Review on Bundle: Sony MDR7506 Closed Ear Headphones with Knox Gear Compact 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amplifier - Professional, Folding Design (2 Items) by Ada Jadczak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Back in 1995, a Sony MDR-7506 was brought to me from New York by sound engineer Egory Rudenko, who used exactly the same headphones to master the entire archive of the Aquarium group and other groups from the assortment of the Triary river company. I have these are the only headphones that are still alive. Already 25 years! I carry them with me everywhere. On vacation at sea, in the country. They are very loved by my wife and children for their wonderful sound and for the fact that they sit very comfortably on my head and on the women's and children's. Although I swear, these headphones are constantly poked by family members, despite the fact that each has individual wired and wireless "plugs" and on-ear headphones. The children and the wife, of course, do not understand the nuances of sound reproduction, but everyone likes the sound and convenience of "sitting on the head". They listen to music, watch cartoons and TV shows. Naturally, the headphones fell and dropped more than once. But live without any reservations! The main wire is intact, the thin wires going to the cups are intact, the connector is intact, the cups and speakers are intact. Nothing changed or repaired for 25 years! Even the ear pads are "native". Although the film peeled off from them and only foam rubber remained, it does not crumble at all and, by feeling, is more pleasant than a plastic film, from which it was hot to the ears. If I don’t understand something in my next freshly bought headphones, then I put on the Sony MDR-7506 and everything becomes clear. If someone likes to have "meaty bass" or "ringing highs", then these headphones are not designed for that. Here - ideal linearity, without any "protrusion" in certain positions of the spectrum. Therefore, all the details are perfectly audible in these headphones. That's why professional sound engineers use these headphones. All the best to the creators of this miracle!

Pros
  • These are professional studio monitors with very good linear frequency response. Comfortable. Quality made. Unkillable.
Cons
  • After 25 years of use, Professional stickers and plastic linings that were above the place where the cups were folded flew off. The plastic film has peeled off the ear pads. (The foam rubber hidden under the film is still alive and does not crumble.) If for someone the above are significant drawbacks, then look for other headphones. ))
