Hey guys, I'm new here. Just got a pair of Sony MDR-7506's and I do like them quite a bit; better than my Bose OE1's, volume is louder, no distortion at the high volumes, etc. However, I have an issue and was wondering if anyone here has experienced this too. On some songs, like Norah Jones "Sunrise", I hear a vibration in my left ear. When I put the Bose headphones on I don't hear it. Any idea what could be causing this? Or have any of you experienced this? I am planning on exchanging them and giving them one last try. If second pair has same issue I am switching to M50's.

Better headphones are more revealing of poor recordings, and while I don't have that particular Norah Jones track, I can tell you that I have experienced similar results on some of Liquid Tension Experiment's songs.  I've made a post years ago just like this one because I thought my headphones were broken (lol!).....However, over the years as my setup grows, I hear it more and more. 
 
That's one option.
 
Another option could be "Grattle" . . . if you're not familiar with this it is where a hair gets stuck between the earpad and the driver, and certain frequencies will cause this vibration.  Look for this, too.......

You think the M50's would have a similar effect? I am surprised nobody talks about this more in these forums. Couldn't find a single thread with a similar issue, other than mine of course

No experience with the M50s, though I've thought about picking them up as my bass can.  Didn't like DT770, so was thinking about giving them a try....though, Head-Fi users seemed to talk me out of them.  Seems to be the general theme lately. . .
