Sony mdr 7506s

I just got these headphones yesterday and i must say im impressed! Been wanting to get the for some time and finally did.

Anyone else use these?

What have your experiences been with them?

I hate mine even though i know them well. They have false high's and low's.

They are dope BUT do not mix on them alone. Your mixes will be inaccurate in the bass and highs. Buy they are real dope cans

The ear fatigue is the worst thing about them.

^ definitely. This is why when mixing large projects I use low levels and take as many breaks as possible. Ear fatigue ruins mixes and damages hearing.

Yup that's exactly what i used to have to do like every hour or so i would have to take a break.

Another thing that almost everyone overlooks is the cleanliness of their inner ears. Qtips are big no no and a peroxide cleaning every 6 months or so does wonders.

explain that to me as if I were an 8 year old.

Wax buildup. As strange as it sounds you would be surprised how much it builds up. The ear drum is pretty sensitive so a thick wall of wax will definitely alter how you hear things. Using Qtips does nothing to clean out the inner ear, it just pushes it in further causing a nasty little wall of wax. So every 6 months to a year you can use peroxide to loosen it up and clean it out. Try a little test. Take a pair of headphones and cut a few pieces of paper to put over one and leave the other as is. Play some music low thru them. You will notice how much the highs are affected. Now just imagine ears loaded up. Sure it doesnt seem like much because mid and low range audio dont have much trouble passing thru but highs do and once you ruin one set of frequencies you will just be struggling to mix the rest correctly. If you go to an ENT doctor and have your ears cleaned you will walk out of the office noticing the entire world is considerably louder. The ears are often overlooked for audio quality.

now explain it to me like i'm 5

i've got a pair [my 2nd one]. they're very well built for the price... i used my first set for close to 10 years. they're great for listening to music on... but for making beats/mixing i prefer my sennheiser hd280s since, as mentioned, the sonys definitely add bass to whatever your listening to...

got 2 pair i've had since 04. pretty good to me! wondered about the ones that were a step up from these

yo pound.. do you just pour a bit of pure peroxide down your ear canal or do you water it down first? i've been wanting to get my ears cleaned with one of those water pump things that the ENT doctors have for some time now.
