 Secret Weapon for Home RecordingSep 28, 2007
By Roy David Dains
"Frankentron5000"
First of all, I am perplexed at how a springsteel headband can be broken easily, as in one of these reviews, and how you can "blow out" a set of headphones after a short amount of usage. Both of those are what I would consider COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE usage of a set of headphones, and definitely not good for your long-term hearing capacity on the latter review.
That being said, I have newly re-discovered these phones, and have found them to be more valuable than I ever thought possible. I had received a pair for free when I ordered a Korg digital studio. At first the sound seemed somewhat thin, but after many pairs of VERY EXPENSIVE headphones, I found out that the Korg unit was to blame, and the unit itself has since been discontinued by the company. After acquiring a new multitrack and using my many sets of headphones, I have found that the MDR-7502s produce the flattest, most real-world sound of all the phones that I have. The highs are perfect and not over-stated or overly thin, like in most audiophile phones. They give perfect flat mids and lows, without boosting their depth. In fact, with the combination of my new BOSS multitrack and the 7502 phones, I can mix completely inside the phones, transfer the mix to CD and it plays in a home stereo or car system with the most impressive sound that I've ever attained from a studio, whether in a home or professional environment.
I used to throw these phones around and just use them for iPod applications and such... now I treasure them and keep them in a case wherever I go. All my other phones are now paperweights on my desk. I will be ordering several more sets so I have backups for the coming years.
If you are recording at home or the office and need to have a set of phones that will allow you to mix completely inside your head, these are VERY inexpensive workhorses that will not let you down.
I'm writing this to help out further home studio techs that have searched endlessly, like I have, to find a set of phones that will allow you to mix at a decent volume without disturbing the neighbors and still produce a professional product.
I hope you find this review enlightening. My music has been completely renewed.
Thanks, SONY!!! And thanks to BOSS... there is no easier or more powerful home multitrack unit.

 Sounds great, but band breaks a lotDec 07, 2005
By Yuki Ishibashi
I support a music conservatory which has a lab of about 8 workstations with these headsets, and while they sound great, the bands keep breaking! I've had to replace ~5 of them at least. If you plan on using your headphones in a heavy-duty environment don't buy these.

 7502 vs 7506Feb 04, 2008
By E. March
I just got back from SamAsh and tried all sort of headphones. I wanted something under $50. I found the 7506's to sound the best, and this was second best. I had my heart set on the Sennheiser hd280's but they were pale and have less bandwidth compared to the 7506 and are heavier too. Some how I wanted to own a Sennheiser product! But it would be 'those' headphones.
The 7502 sound almost as good as the 7506, but they are not nearly as comfortable. The pads are a plastic vinyl like and will wear out, and can be replaced. They do no cover the full ear as the 7506 does. Other $49 headphone from Samsom had a phasing hollow sound, you dont notice it at first until comparing a few. But once you hear the $100 and up quality phones you know why people spend the extra dollars. These were the only good sounding, but not 100% comfortable headphone in the $50 range.
High prices headphone also buy true leather, and wear very well.
Soundwise both the 7502 and 7506 sound very very good, it really come done to the comfort issue.

A Step Up in HeadphonesFeb 19, 2007
By Suz54
When you get tired of earbuds and ill-fitting cheap foam headphones, these are a great option. Sony has a good quality product, very good sound and decently priced through Amazon. A medium sized headphone that doesn't make you look like Leia or an alien. Fits well.
If you care that your music and movies sound good through headphones, I think you'd be satisfied with this product. If you are a total audiophile, you won't be getting advice through Amazon reviews anyway. Go spend your big bucks on the next notch up.

Lightweight WorkhorseNov 04, 2008
By Jack Cook
I originally bought a pair of MDR-7502's so long ago, I can't remember the year. I've used them religiously for just about every major and minor project on super stereo amplifiers to small CD players and Video cameras. Everything from casual use to professional audio editing. With a flat response and smooth reproduction of just about any sound that may be pumped into this lightweight beauty, you can listen just about all day without getting tired of hefting the usual set of dumbells on each ear. And, of course, the connector includes a large plug and built-in mini-plug. My set is over ten years old, and the current model costs the same as when I bought it new. The only real gripe I have about this unit is the pads. After eight years of use, the soft, leather like pads peeled their outer layer, made a mess, and finally gave up the ghost and disintegrated. I ended up replacing them with pads from another trashy set of headphones because I couldn't find a replacement set on the internet. My old phones still work, but to celebrate Sony's obvious wisdom in keeping this model on the market, I'll be ordering another set and a spare soon. Thanks, Sony!
