 Great headphones September 6, 2010

Crystal clear sound. Very good definition of the mids and lows. Response seems quite flat to me.
 Not a good choice for on-the-go listening September 1, 2010

These were touted in several reviews as an "industry standard" and having excellent noise reproduction, but in the two weeks I've had them, they've been disappointing to me.
My last pair were Bose® QC2's ($299) which I destroyed with two years of severe and constant use. Beyond the glowing reviews for this Sony product, I wanted to see if I could get a comparable product for less than $100. The answer, I'm afraid, is a resounding and distortion-free NO!
I haven't had these long enough to comment on durability.
Comfort level is average. Wearing them with eyeglasses adds no significant discomfort.
Noise isolation was very disappointing. For around-ear design, I expected much less invasive external frequencies. Conversation level frequencies almost seem to reverberate, which is, to say the least, aggravating when, while listening in the same room with my girlfriend's TV, Andrea Bocelli has to compete with Chloe Kardashian.
Sound quality I would rate on par with most products in the $30-$50 range. These do sound pretty decent with my Yamaha receiver (as do my $20 Koss® phones), but for listeners like me wanting on-the-go (I-pod, laptop, etc.) performance, nothing can touch a really decent active noise-cancelling, battery-powered headset like Bose® produces. My apologies for what I know sounds like a paid endorsement, but I can't go spending hundreds of dollars on everybody's flagship products, just to give you an unbiased review.
Excellent! August 25, 2010

Shipping was extremely fast arriving on the first day of the estimation. The headphones work amazing!
 Good sound quality but with design flaws August 24, 2010

I use these headphones to DJ electronic music. They can be cranked to high volume without sound distortion, and of course they sound great at normal volumes. I have no complaints about sound quality, but about the headphone's design.
First, they fit a little snug against the head (and my head is even fairly skinny). They are, however, better than Technics' line of DJ headphones. Those really squeezed my noggin!
Also, as several people have noted, your ears get a little sweaty after wearing these for awhile. Not a big deal, but it's a little uncomfortable. And some theorize that sweat causes the earcups to break down prematurely.
My biggest complaint about the 7506's design is that one of the foam ear cups came off less than a month after purchase. The cup can be put back on, but not without some hassle. It stays on for several days/weeks but then will come off again (seemingly at the most inconvenient time!).
I highly recommend these headphones for their sound quality. But expect problems with the earcups. There's a chance they will either shred over time or come off entirely. No wonder replacement ear cups are so readily advertised on Amazon!
I'm no sound engineer, just a regular consumer August 14, 2010

My benchmark testing sound for bass is "I put on" by Young Jeezy at 320 kb/s quality. After that I listened to several film scores, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, etc. Everything from a 300 piece orchestra to mainstream songs written by computers sound great. I'll be using these on an indie film set for audio monitoring.
