Summary:
I shopped headphones in the $100 range for quite a while, and after looking at the Sonys & Sennheisers, kept coming back to the MDR-7506 phones. Despite the reviews saying the highs were too bright and the bass was too strong. They're efficient enough to be almost too loud with my Sony MZ-N707 Net MD, and the presence is phenomenal! 10 to 20kHz, dead flat, light & comfortable for long periods, fold up compact in the included bag, and the sound field is so sweet! From the lightest strings and synths, vocals, to full blown jams, it all stays tight and perfectly placed! I can't wait to take these upstairs to my studio and use them for recording and final mixes! You can have a very strong piece of music playing, be right next to them, and barely hear a sound outside, and inside there is no external noise AT ALL. I have to say that I am hearing new things in recordings that I have been listening to, literally, for many years. From Mike Oldfield to Pink Floyd, everything sounds better through these phones! Best money I every spent on an audio piece.

Summary:
Clean sharp sound in a comfortable package.

Strengths:
Crystaline sound. Maybe the upper octaves are a little too hot. The headband & ear cups are comfortable. I enjoy wearing this pair of "cans".

Weaknesses:
Using my Yamaha, Sony or Pioneer receivers, these headphones can sound a little too bright. Modest EQ trims them down nicely for my tastes.

Similar Products Used:
I've owned Sennheiser phones which fell apart in less than a year. I have Grado SR-80 which have a more bloated sounding mid-range. Yet I enjoy the sound of the Grado SR-80's when plugged directly into a cheap CD player. The Grado's sound more "natural".

Summary:
I see people complaining about these headphones and I don't agree with them. For the price you pay they are fine. Period. Use an EQ and get the sound you want out of them. That is what an EQ is for. I didn't find any distortion and they responded nicely to all EQ frequencies in my studio. I use them as an electric guitar monitor when recording in the studio and found them to be equal to other similarly priced or more expensive products. If you want alot of bass then turn the bass up on the EQ. If you want less highs or mids then kill it on the EQ. Simple. These phones will respond to anything you give them and you can make an excellent sound without distortion. Plus they are LOUD! The better your equiptment is the better these will sound. Don't exspect them to sound good on a junky boom box or crappy stereo becasue they will show you all the distortion and limitations your source equiptment has. If you want a set for that then go buy some at sears for 15 dollars. These are professional grade phones and expect you will use them with pro-grade equiptment.

Strengths:
Overall great phones.

Weaknesses:
nothing i can find.

Summary:
These headphones are amazing. I purchased them for a friend as a gift and had the chance to use them. I have never heard a lot of the detail in music and now I can hear every last bit. I suggest these headphones for anyone that wants to hear sound in amazing clarity.
