Sony MDR-7520/MDR-7510

I was browsing Gearwire.com for some NAMM news and stumbled upon these. They look pretty similar to the Japanese MDR-Z line. So, are they basically the same with a slight paintjob to look more professional?

"Pricing available upon request" frown.gif Probably not a good sign. Although the 20 and 10 will probably be the same price as their "consumer" counterparts at $500 and $120 respectively.

I believe the MDR-7520 is the same as the MDR-Z1000 except that it has a single coiled cord rather than 2 single cords and a different different finish.

Yeah, they both use the liquid crystal polymer diaphragm and have the same frequency responses listed, so that appears to be the case. They might do more for people in the looks department, though.

Interesting, removable cable or not? 

 

I guess these might need amplification.

Yes, a removable cable, it's seems to be just a rebadged mdr-z1000.

As for amplification, they may benefit from it, they probably won't NEED it since they are really sensitive at 108 dB/mW.

In one word: loud. If so Sony is sticking to a recipe. No wonder - just speculation - the ear cups are relatively shallow with some of their other models. Deeper ear cups with Sony loudness could lead to hearing damage.

"it has a single coiled cord rather than 2 single cords"

 

What does that mean?

The Z1000 has two detachable cords instead of the single cord the 7520 has.
