new cans! Sony mdr-7506

I got some Sony mdr-7506 headphones to shut out the world
when I play keyboard and listen to music.

Apparently, this model is the shiznit and pretty much
everything else by Sony is crapola.

So far I like them a lot, although I imagine they'll sound
better after a few days of breaking in (gonna leave them
playing, hm, maybe some Tommy Guerrero overnight).

So immediately I can say that they're fuller sounding than
my Grado SR-80s, and though they're not as peaky in the high
end I do believe they're actually more detailed! I'm
listening to Confield and noticing stuff I'd never really
heard before.

They have been accused of a smidgen too much bass but I'm
not getting that at all.

oooooooooo listening to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis is a
real treat with these.

Hey, thanks for recommending The Books a long time ago, that
album was really fun.

And broseph.. I hope those headphones work out for you man,
I really do.

Oh they're already working out... they're a closed design,
so I can't hear my wife's loathsome television shows at all.
^_^

Yeah that Books album is fucking top notch, isn't it? I love
all the vocal samples. You. You! You! Wonderful things...!
Good... things! A piece of dead steak!

I have the same headphones. They're exceptional. Excellent
purchase. I've seen them used in professional applications
like feature film sound, audio production, stuidio
monitoring, and of course, listening to IDM :)

These things are like dissecting microscopes for your ears -
they present the audio in unbelievable detail, but sometimes
you maybe didn't want to see alla them greasy pores and
blackheads, you know? I guess that's what makes them great
for producing... you don't miss a thing.

Well produced music is a real treat with them though.
Listening to that Books album, or Jan Jelinek, is like
hearing it for the first time.

I'd rank these things ahead of any of the Senns or Grados
I've heard. Then again I've never tried the Senn hd-600s or
those top of the line Grados that are made of like cherry
wood and mink.

i have Sony MDR-605 and i love e'm. they're probably the
most comfiest head-sets i've ever tried. the sound is great
too.

imho Audio-Technica ATH M50 are the best i've ever used for
the price range. Sony mdr-7506 are used all the time in
recording as i think their response is slightly boosted in
the vocal range. you can go mad researching and trying out
cans tho.
