I wasn't particularly bothered that these didn't measure very well,I still think they are excellent sounding headphones but I have just bought a pair of Oppo PM3's and while the sony's are the better sounding hp they don't beat the pm3's by much and the oppo's are a lot more comfortable and have better isolation.
Well, my post was tongue-in-cheak (just in case you didn't realise!), and I understand your reasons for selling. Having said that, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some folks DO sell their 7520's as a result of the measurements!
Interesting though that you still think that they sound better (albeit not by much) than the Oppo PM-3's................... Tyll clearly didn't think so.............. http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/innerfidelity-april-2015-update

If I didn't already have two pairs of these I would be interested.
They are great headphones and haven't sounded very worse to me since the measurement came out.
I think we should respect what Tyll does but at the end of the day it is up to you to decide whether you like how they sound or not.
This is definitely not a dig at Tyll. He is my (and lots of people's ) hero and has done more for our hobby than most people.
Just bought MDR 7520. Really nice sounding phone. Only one complain stock pads are not comfortable and too thin. Can any one suggest better earpads ?? I am interested in alpha pads, Does they fit on MDR 7520 ??
I highly recommend the Beyer pads.
You know,
I have seen some recent meet coverage over the last year and all, but never heard of anyone going with their 7520 or stating that they listened to it and were impressed or disappointed...
This would have been great to read about or hear. Always hear people talk about the Mad Dogs, the HifiMans the HD800s and $800+ cans, but not where I guess most people will probably spend their hard earned cash... between $100 -$500... at least in my opinion.
The 7520 is not the only can mind you, but it would have been rather interesting to hear how these compared to other headphones of similar price from people who would have never heard them or compared them to anything else.
I was asking in the Denon MM400 thread if anyone had heard and compared both and the sound of silence to that question is so deafening....

I understand what you mean. I do have some high end cans but a lot of listening is done with mid-fi gear in exactly the range you mentioned. MDR-V6, MDR-1A and others. I think the Sonys are awesome at their respective price points. But - now comes one of my feared car-analogies, nobody talks about the late Honda Accord and how they pitted it versus a VW Passat at the racetrack and boy you should see a drag race between the two.... Solid middle class offerings are just not as entertaining than talking about the big guns (sports cars, super cars, etc.) there IS talk about them but just not as attention grabbing.
I would also see more comparisons of these cans for sure. I always wondered why for example my V6 doesn't get much coverage, it's such a great headphone for the money. I guess the 7520 as well...
cheers,

I also have ZX700, which is a poor man's 7520 with no bass. Tyll liked that very much. It really shows how subjective these opinions can be. I can go and on...
