I have had the SOny 7506 for about 7 years now and they are great. A pro tip for larger ears is to get angled earpads.. Fits perfectly around my ears and I can wear them through my workday and gaming after work. I don't like the headband as much, but the clamping force takes the strain off the headband, but not perfect.

Yes, I do use the Senns exclusively for music right now. All the headphones replicate the human hearable audio spectrum well, but the Senns are balanced in a way the compliments engaged listening. Plus they make it easier to disconnect or not be distracted by the outside world cause I can't hear as much outside of the headphones.

Stereo image of 280 pro is not the best, though and you do not need some low end boost for classical music. So my answer is "no"! Better choose headphones with higher ohm value for more detailed listening experience

[@JimmyFontanez]

Unfortunately my 7506's only lasted just under 2 years. I barely used them, nor did I mistreat them. One day, I put them on to do some mixing and the right side went completely out. Now, also owning the AT M40fs since 2018, they're still alive and kicking. I used them more, resulting in the pads being very worn. They still sound good regardless (not like the Sonys).

[@choosejoy365]

Which one of these do you think would be best for tracking and mixing vocals? I've heard the Beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones are a solid pair and comfortable, but they don't fold down at all or pivot for easy one ear listening. Just curious about your thoughts. Great video btw!

[@DotDotMatrix]

Sonys are my most used for working, easy to slip on and off, durable... Ear pieces don’t flip but it’s easy to pull one behind your ear AudioTechnica is good but build quality is less, it’s easy to break off the ear pieces if your not conscious of how they move and can easily flip upside down, but ear pieces do flip out... If i din’t have the Sonys I would be using ATs. Sennheiser is the biggest, and while ear pieces flip out I use them for “non-work” listing… the cord is short and stiff and I prefer lighter headphones. They all have a sound profile that is neutral enough that any of them can be used for mixing along with visual tools for maintaining consistency.

[@choosejoy365]

@@DotDotMatrix Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. There are so many out there, all with their own pros and cons, so it's helpful having another opinion before spending the money. I really appreciate your help.

[@Drfayham]

I'm seriously considering getting the ATH-M40x but I see quite a lot of people complaining about the built quality (some problem with the hinges), anyone knows whether they fixed this in the newer "batches"?

[@DotDotMatrix]

Because they can articulate around in so many directions I can seen how someone could get confused about their position and force them in the wrong direction (especially in a dark room). They fold up really easy, but the pivot points are encased in light plastic... I had overlooked that the Sennheisers pivot in a similar way, but it was less obvious cause of their heavier build and it is also less comfortable to wear them with 1 ear pieces turned out. Don't know if Audio-Techs have changed in the last 8 months, but I would be weary of the strength of those joints if I were throwing them in a bag and taking them places where I would be rushing to setup and generally being less careful with my gear.

[@fatih9135]

Hey. Thanks for the review. I really like the design of Sony. But I'm worrying about the sound quality. You said its better for dialogue kind of usage. I'm going to use it for djing and music production. Do you think should I choose others?

[@DotDotMatrix]

I used to exclusively use them for music...but I think they do well with the human voice (and my tolerance to listen to them for long periods of time.) Of those 3 headphones I think Sonys are the best choice if you have to bring them around to different places cause they're light and built well. Sony's are my most used "working headphones" cause (1) I'm so used to their sound, (2) I find them to be good for wearing for a long period of time. There are a lot of good headphones out there that fit those parameters, Sony's are just the one's I chose early on and am happy with them.

[@fatih9135]

@@DotDotMatrix thanks for honest comment.

[@sphere868]

Despite your wise cat there, I can't seem to decide between the Sony's or the ATH's. In my area the Sony's are selling for a lower price than the M40x's, so that made me curious about the M30x's, which are also selling for even lower. But I heard the M40x's are the most "neutral sounding" ones out of these, surpassing the M30x's. Guess I got trapped in the rabbithole dude, I was thinking about getting the Sony's since they would "sit" in the middle (In my case), some sites even said the Sony's still reproduce a "better audio", despite being made back in the H. Bush presidency. I was gonna use the Sony's for everything, including some voice editing purposes. Do you agree?? Great video and thx.

[@DotDotMatrix]

In general the Sonys are my favorite for working and general listening (so...90% of the time I'm using the Sonys), but I do like to switch between different headphones for enjoyment...or just cause I don't feel like unplugging things and moving them around...and I thought I would use different headphones to the cross-check the way a mix sounds.... but I never do.

[@DotDotMatrix]

Really, they're all good... but I default to the Sonys for most "work related things".... Audio-Techincas might be a little better with natural sound quality, but the way they are built makes it so you have to be a little more careful not to break the pivot points for the ear pieces....which do rotate around more. if your careful with your things that might not be an issue.

Hi, if I use BTR5 with MDR 7506, will it be more colorful and easy to listen to? Thanks!

[@DotDotMatrix]

Never used BTR5, but a quick read make it seem like it's not really a device that has the aim of coloring sound like something that is tube driven or a simulation, but rather has more subtle controls... There's an EQ so that can help make something easier to listen to... I assume you are referring to higher frequencies being "fatiguing" and maybe wanting to curb down around 5-10k and up ...especially if you have a youthful full range of hearing.

[@sultanakbar9261]

Do you recommend those audio Technica's for mixing Btw im more into rock and classical stuffs

[@panchovilla7684]

Hello , for listening to music in a great quality and also for gaming . Which one should I choose ?

[@DotDotMatrix]

I think they all sound very good... Sony’s are the lightest and the one’s I use the most (especially if I’m wearing them for hours), so that is my personal pick. Sennhieser’s have a short stiff cord and are the heaviest, which can be limiting, but they do feel more immersive. AudioTechnica’s are somewhere in between, if you want to take the middle road and like having multiple cords to plug into the headphones then they might be a good choice.

I actually did a video "EarPods, AirPods vs Headphones" ...I was comparing them to Sennhieser's (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqa7mKWwqd-tjZo) ...The gist was Headphones have more low end response, and more immersion... the sound is covering your ears and it feels wider, as its not just being piped directly into the ear.

Love the video man :) I moved from a Superlux hd681 evo to a Philips SHP9600 which are open backs for gaming. I've been very interested in the Sony MDR for a long time due to it being more flat and more detailed. Is the move from open backs to closed backs that much noticeable in gaming?

[@DotDotMatrix]

I've never needed open back headphones. If it's just for the experience of playing games it shouldn't matter much unless you want to hear the exterior sound in the room like people taking to you. I tend to view headphones as a tool for focusing that can diminish outside distractions.

[@JosePerez-ok8ez]

Witch one are recommend to use with a Sony a55 audio player ?

[@DotDotMatrix]

My gut says the Sennheisers cause the short cord is actually a feature if it's plugged into something in your pocket... they are also the most immersive for music.... but if you don't want to block out the world, like if you need to be aware of traffic or whatever if your going into the world with them, then you might want "open back headphones".... otherwise the Sonys are lighter and let more outside sound bleed in... but skip on the AudioTech for mobile...the hinges have a weaker construction.

Of these headphones none of them would drown out any frequency bands. Sennhiesers are probably best suited for a full sounding music centered workflow, I assume you mean in music creation, but I do use them a lot for listening... And sub-bass is always going to have a bigger feel on a speaker than headphones so it's always best to proof that....or at least be aware of it on the EQ

[@Blessthefall333ccc]

@@DotDotMatrix thanks for the reply! I've seen people say that these are good but the only issue apparently is the fact that they have this thing where I'm guessing it doesn't cup your ears tight enough and if you slightly tilt or move your head, the sound on one side could possibly change. Any thoughts on that? Thanks again!

@@DotDotMatrix my mistake...I meant I've heard that about the AKGs

[@DotDotMatrix]

👍 I've never owned AKGs, and never had issues like that, but incase you meant AudioTechs, they (and the Sennheisers) have a rotating pivot joint that might be good for fitting to the shape of different sized heads, but it is of weaker build on the AudioTechs and could be a failure point if mis-handled.

[@Naitrio]

Do headphone drivers usually degrade over time like your Sony cans did, or is this a common issue with them?

[@DotDotMatrix]

I don't see it as a Sony issue, they were used a lot in those 20 years. Some headphones might be built to last longer... I'm sure using them for recording where they are sometimes exposed to audio spikes, like if the gain on a mic is too loud and you can hear the headphones screaming across the room shortens their lifespan. The good thing about them is the same model is still in-production, so you can repurchase that same sound, but they are also user serviceable too.

I have used Shure SRH440 and they are really different than many closed-back headphones, they have more mids and highs. But the build quality is weird. Now they have introduced upgraded model SRH440A. Build quality seems very improved but sound is totally different. According tests they have more bass than any other headphones we were writing here about, so probably these will be really not for me. So probably I should try Sony, but I am really affraid after those AKG which should have been neutral too :D

[@dunka12]

After going through many pairs of headphones, i'm starting to think the MDRs with their exposed cables are the safest for said cables. Your first thought might be they are exposed and easy to damage, but the reality is, when manufacturers try to hide the cables, they tend to pass them through delicate articulated areas that slowly but surely bend and destroy those cables. Not so with the MDRs. As long as you don't treat your headphones like absolute garbage, those floating wires will probably last you more than others. So i'm not surprised your old pair still works after 2 decades. Hard to go wrong with them. Even recently i threw away a pair of Sennheiser well above 100 bucks, for exactly this reason. Shitty wires.

I've had all these, and the HD280's are by far the best. They all suck though, especially the m40x's and I would personally instead get some 58X jubilees/6XX's or Beyer DT770's.

why the hd280 is better then m40x ? thanks

[@lexx348]

Where DT770 do better? I am picking between them and 280s. Which are more comfortable to wear?

These all suck when compared to Phillips SPH9600 ($90)

Please send me one of each. What? I didn't win a bunch of headphones from a scammer? Sigh... Sadly, this didn't help me make up my mind. I'm stuck between the 7506 and the M40. Maybe I should just take the cat's word for it. I'm sure either would work.
