I'm rating these five stars, but they do have one pretty big negative. They are excellent, studio quality headphones. If you plan to wear them out and about though (like the NYC commuter I am) they effectively also serve as earmuffs. That's all well and good in winter, but on the June day I wore them out, I was sweating out the top of my head and down my neck. Amazing sound quality, but not great for being out in the heat. In their defense, these headphones never made that claim. They never made any claims at all, as they are an inanimate object without speech capability. They do have the capability to deliver superb sound quality though, which is mostly what you want in a pair of headphones. -

As an audio producer, especially in the radio and music industries, these have been my go-to headphones for years. They sound fantastic yet natural and their ear-pads assure virtually no sound monitor leakage at loud volumes. Under rugged pro use, a pair of 7506s last a decade or so unless you yank the cord out or step on them. One caveat, however - an issue which Sony has never rectified - is that these headphones will painfully pinch the web between your thumb and forefinger while placing them on your head due to a surprisingly sharp articulation in the joint that holds the earpieces to the headband. A simple fix is to wrap black electrical tape around the articulation, which really isn't needed to optimally adjust their fit - the articulation has no purpose other than to make them "collapsable." Walk into any major market radio station that supplies them to its jocks & producers and you'll probably notice that the chief engineer has already taped the joint open. For my taste in pro audio, though, the sound and durability of these headphones far, far outweighs the pinch potential, and, for the bucks, you can't get a better pro headphone. -
