Are there any headphones better than the Sony MDR-7506?
Hi guys. I have owned my Sony MDR-7506 Professional Studio-grade headphones for over 7 years and they still sound FABOULOUS! I would like to know if any of you have owned or used these cans and compared them to others in this range? I think they go for around $80 now but went for around $200 new back then.
I have heard you guys throw out names like Sennheisher and Grado, but I've yet to hear those cans. Actually wait a minute....I DID sample some Sennheiser cans about 6 years ago and I didn't like them. They sounded muffled compared to the Sony MDR-7506.
Anyway what do you think? Are Grados really all that cracked up to be? What makes them so good?
On another note, I used to own a pair of Sony cans that sounded even better than the MRD-7506....they were called the MDR-CD555 Studio Headphones. Bought them back in 1990 along with my CD-555 Sony Discman. Man these cans were AMAZING. Anyone know where I can grab a pair?
