Lightweight WorkhorseNovember 4, 2008 I originally bought a pair of MDR-7502's so long ago, I can't remember the year. I've used them religiously for just about every major and minor project on super stereo amplifiers to small CD players and Video cameras. Everything from casual use to professional audio editing. With a flat response and smooth reproduction of just about any sound that may be pumped into this lightweight beauty, you can listen just about all day without getting tired of hefting the usual set of dumbells on each ear. And, of course, the connector includes a large plug and built-in mini-plug. My set is over ten years old, and the current model costs the same as when I bought it new. The only real gripe I have about this unit is the pads. After eight years of use, the soft, leather like pads peeled their outer layer, made a mess, and finally gave up the ghost and disintegrated. I ended up replacing them with pads from another trashy set of headphones because I couldn't find a replacement set on the internet. My old phones still work, but to celebrate Sony's obvious wisdom in keeping this model on the market, I'll be ordering another set and a spare soon. Thanks, Sony!
great headphonesApril 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
these are great headphones. The sound is very good, they are comfortable, and the cord is really long. The problem with the cord is that, even though you can use them with a long distance, if you want to listen to your ipod or something, the cord is too long. Luckily, the problem is easily solved with a rubberband. Problem two: if i wear them for hours, my ears start hurting a little because of the pressure on them. but it's probably because I sleep on my side with them. Problem 3: my headphones are completely broken. The band is broken, and each ear cup thing is dettached from the band. I can't say that they aren't durable though, especially because I'm such a careless klutz and I break everything I touch , but i feel that it isn't too hard to break these headphones. This problem was easily solved with tape and i actually like it with tape. It looks alot cooler (with the gray ones)and they're as good as new, except with a little practical fashion statement or whatever. So overall, these headphones are definitely worth buying. I've had them for over 3 years and my only problems with them are what I just mentioned, but they aren't anything that cant be solved.
7502 vs 7506February 4, 2008 I just got back from SamAsh and tried all sort of headphones. I wanted something under $50. I found the 7506's to sound the best, and this was second best. I had my heart set on the Sennheiser hd280's but they were pale and have less bandwidth compared to the 7506 and are heavier too. Some how I wanted to own a Sennheiser product! But it would be 'those' headphones.
The 7502 sound almost as good as the 7506, but they are not nearly as comfortable. The pads are a plastic vinyl like and will wear out, and can be replaced. They do no cover the full ear as the 7506 does. Other $49 headphone from Samsom had a phasing hollow sound, you dont notice it at first until comparing a few. But once you hear the $100 and up quality phones you know why people spend the extra dollars. These were the only good sounding, but not 100% comfortable headphone in the $50 range.
High prices headphone also buy true leather, and wear very well. Soundwise both the 7502 and 7506 sound very very good, it really come done to the comfort issue.
Good quality, decent comfortOctober 19, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the first professional headset I purchase. This Sony are the entry level product of the "professional" line. I use the headset with a multieffect pedal board (with a guitar, of course) and the sound is clear and rich. I also tried to watch a DVD and the result was excellent. I can't say about other applications but considering the price (I paid 35$ for a refurbished set) they have been a good deal.
Secret Weapon for Home RecordingSeptember 28, 2007 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
First of all, I am perplexed at how a springsteel headband can be broken easily, as in one of these reviews, and how you can "blow out" a set of headphones after a short amount of usage. Both of those are what I would consider COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE usage of a set of headphones, and definitely not good for your long-term hearing capacity on the latter review.
That being said, I have newly re-discovered these phones, and have found them to be more valuable than I ever thought possible. I had received a pair for free when I ordered a Korg digital studio. At first the sound seemed somewhat thin, but after many pairs of VERY EXPENSIVE headphones, I found out that the Korg unit was to blame, and the unit itself has since been discontinued by the company. After acquiring a new multitrack and using my many sets of headphones, I have found that the MDR-7502s produce the flattest, most real-world sound of all the phones that I have. The highs are perfect and not over-stated or overly thin, like in most audiophile phones. They give perfect flat mids and lows, without boosting their depth. In fact, with the combination of my new BOSS multitrack and the 7502 phones, I can mix completely inside the phones, transfer the mix to CD and it plays in a home stereo or car system with the most impressive sound that I've ever attained from a studio, whether in a home or professional environment.
I used to throw these phones around and just use them for iPod applications and such... now I treasure them and keep them in a case wherever I go. All my other phones are now paperweights on my desk. I will be ordering several more sets so I have backups for the coming years.
If you are recording at home or the office and need to have a set of phones that will allow you to mix completely inside your head, these are VERY inexpensive workhorses that will not let you down.
I'm writing this to help out further home studio techs that have searched endlessly, like I have, to find a set of phones that will allow you to mix at a decent volume without disturbing the neighbors and still produce a professional product.
I hope you find this review enlightening. My music has been completely renewed.
Thanks, SONY!!! And thanks to BOSS... there is no easier or more powerful home multitrack unit.
