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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

1. I won’t repeat what has already been said about these excellent headphones, but I’ll add this: if there is a jamb in the mix that is not heard on anything, then these headphones will show it. If a recording was made in a studio and a mouse farted behind the wall in the building across the street, you will hear it. These headphones will amplify any sound jamb many times and present you on a silver platter, even the most purified vinyl will have a natural noise for it, which you have not heard before even on expensive monitors. 2. If you get a good sound on the 7506 when mixing, it will sound good anywhere. I left the external speaker only for panning and instrument level control. All frequency work can be safely done on headphones (but there is a nuance - about it in shortcomings). 3. The lowest sine-bass is heard. Listen to some jungle of the late 90s - hear how it sparkled with new colors.

Pros
  • 1. Excellent and perfectly distinguishable bass throughout the low range. 2. High visibility/readability of tools (aka transparency, but I hate that term). 3. Incredible protrusion of any sound jambs.
Cons
  • Some kind of frequency sticks out at the top, somewhere from 4 to 7 kHz. It can give some instruments an acid tinge. Once you get used to it, you will learn to take this nuance into account when mixing.
