I've tried a ton of headphones lately and these sound by far the best to me. I like generally flat sound. I'm more concerned with clear mids and highs and want present but not overpowering bass and low bass.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Sony MDR-7506 is an extremely sensitive, closed, isolating headphone that's great for travel and monitoring professional field recordings - especially DSLR video.

I purchased these Sony headphones semi-new for only $50 at the time from a friend of mine. They can be found currently around $99 or less.

These headphones produce an amazing sound. it is quite different from your run-of-the-mill over-ear headphones and certainly different from any ear buds you've ever used. The sort of surround-sound effect that a lot of artists record with these days is amplified by the quality of these headphones.

Introduced way back in 1991, the Sony MDR-7506 has long been a favorite headphone of recording engineers and other sound professionals. The origins of its design date even further back, since the MDR-7506 is, in fact, a refresh of the Sony MDR-V6 that rolled out in 1985.

closed-back, full-size headphones click with all music genres and are comfortable to wear for hours at a time; They sound excellent for their relatively modest price point

With a coiled; pro-style cable and lack of an inline remote/microphone; some will find the 7506s less mobile-friendly than more modern headphones

Sony is of course, one of the most popular and respected audio brands on the planet, whose history goes back decades of fine audio manufacturing. The Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphone is an insanely popular model by Sony and loved by the masses.

There is a huge number of headphones available on the hi-fi and pro-audio markets, but for our purposes as recording musicians the options are usefully restricted. Clearly, audio quality must come at the top of the wish list, and closed-back headphones are easier to use in a recording environment.

The Senal SMH-1000 studio headphones have the look and feel of the Sony MDR-7506 headphones, which pretty much set the standard for professional monitoring headphones in the sub-$100 range. In many cases, the Sony MDR-7506 headphones are even better than other models that cost substantially more.
