Good for listening without bias. The Sony MDR-7506 have a well-balanced sound with a punchy bass that doesn’t drown out the great mid-range. The instruments and voices sounded good, but they didn’t have as much detail and clarity as models like the DT 770 and the ATH-M50x. But for closed-back headphones, they have a good range, and the sound quality is good enough to please most people.
The headphones weigh 8 ounces, which is a little less than what a full-size pair of headphones usually weighs. Even though most of the headphones are made of plastic, they don’t feel at all weak. It helps that the upper ear cups are made of metal. There are 40mm drivers inside, and the headphones have a resistance of 63 ohms. The racetrack-shaped ear pads and headband aren’t as thickly padded as those of many new headphones, but I found them comfortable to wear for long amounts of time because the pressure on my head was not too strong. This should be true for all headphones, and it’s a must for ones made for professionals.

Where to get Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone?
The closed-back MDR-7506 blocks a lot of outside noise, so people around you won’t hear much sound coming from it. The coiled cable is about 10 feet long when stretched to its full length, and it is permanently connected to the left ear cup.Since the MDR-7506 doesn’t have a mic or a remote and has a very long cord, it may not be the best choice for use with phones or portable music players. The wire ends in a gold-plated 3.5mm plug, and a 6.3mm adapter plug is included so that it can be used with both home and professional gear.
If you want to know what makes this model different from the MDR-V6, the MDR-V6 has a 3.5mm plug and 6.3mm adapter that are nickel-plated. Also, the connector housing on the MDR-V6 is matte silver, while the connector housing on the MDR-7506 is matte black.
