Review: Best value, high quality headphones going in a similar price range (in my experience so far). - Quality headphones, like other HiFi equipment, are always going to be a highly personal, subjective thing. I own a few pairs of headphones. Each of them have their various pros. However, comparing these Sony MDR-7506's to other highly-regarded, similarly-priced headphones, for example, the excellent Sennheiser HD560S, the Philips Fidelio X2HR & the Sennheiser HD598, these Sony MDR-7506's are probably the ones that I spend the most time listening to music. I've owned them since February, 2024. Though in fairness, it's a very close thing with the equally superb Sennheiser HD560S. Both excel for overall quality in their price range. I use them with Cambridge Audio HiFi. Aside from the Sony's relatively lighter weight & added comfort for longer listening sessions, all without getting too warm, what I love most about them is their excellent clarity, brightness & vibrancy. I'd swear that I can hear more higher frequency music & detail on certain songs, more clearly, with the Sony MDR-7506's than with my other quality headphones. Though once again, it's a close thing with the brilliant Sennheiser HD560S's. The latter offer better overall separation & depth, but their RRP is also significantly higher. An unqualified 5 Stars for the Sony MDR-7506's. They excel with their excellent clarity & vibrancy among other similarly-priced, quality headphones. Outstanding value!
Review: Sony MDR-MV1 Headphones. - Excellent headphones, much better sounding than the Audio technica R70X's.That lasted seven weeks! Very neutral sounding With a controlled very deep bass.And with natural sounding midrange, and high's. I can see why they are labelled professional, with the sound quality they give. As some other reviewers have stated, these headphones are the choice of professionals recording studios. And I can well believe it, with the sound quality they give. I use my pair, to listen to music, with my old analogue Technics HiFi. They work really well, with this format, and the sound quality is sublime. They are very sensitive, and pick up errors in music recordings, that you won't hear through speakers. It can be disconcerting at first, until to recognise the errors. For example, on Al Stewarts Year of the cat album.On the first track " Lord Granville. " there is a slight knocking sound in the recording. When you hear it.It sounds like someone knocking on the door! It bought me out . I should add, they are very comfortable with the fabric ear pads.I can wear them for four hours, at a time. With no discomfort. Some reviewers, have said these headphones last for over a decade. I would be happy at that . They also sound good at higher volumes,without sounding strained or distorted. I would say, that that you get what you pay for.And these headphones are no exception! I'm very happy with mine.And I would replace them, with the same again. When they are worn out.Yes, they are easily worth the money. I highly recommend them for music use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the sound leakage like?**
A: On the "real deal" model Sound leakage is minimal for the levels they can reach,as long as both drivers are on both ears and not off one when listening to a loud sample. Be aware they can accept (with ease) very loud,highly dynamic audio that hearing could be affected in the long term,so monitoring the levels to the user over time and taking breaks is a probably a good idea.

**Q: is the cable detachable/replacable?**
A: No, it is not detachable, but it is possible to replace it manually and spare cables are in supply.

**Q: There has been reports on the reviews suggesting these headphones are fake, can you confirm their authenticity ?**
A: Authenticity depends on the seller, not the product page. This page is a listing for an authentic set of headphones.

**Q: how long is the cable?**
A: 1.2 metres 120cm curly cable, then it's 3.5 metres 350cm. 
I love these headphones. 
Work on ps4.
Pc etc.

No microphone. 
Very loud superb quality. 
The ear muffs have eroded its leather-lookalike. 

These were about £270 when they came out

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very comfortable headphones
*by G***G on 10 January 2026*

The Sony MDR-7506 headphones are excellent quality; the earpads are soft and very comfortable to wear for long periods ; a good fit for a slim head as another brand ordered were too wide. The sound quality is very crisp and clean and they block external noise a little better too than the cheaper pair.
