Sony MDR-7506/1

The industry standard since 1991
Sony's MDR-506s have been in production for more than 30 years. And for good reason. Throughout that time it has matched each latest generation of headphones thanks to its durability, comfort and - of course - sound quality. They are now an ubiquitous part of any pro-audio practitioner's tool kit.

Once they had co-developed CD technology, Sony started creating monitor headphones that would live up to its increase in audio fidelity. After a few different iterations, the result ended up being the MDR-506s, released in 1991. Since then they've become iconic.

Professional environments need professional monitoring. And this is why you'll find MDR-506s everywhere from music studios to film sets. Take a look at your favourite movies behind the scenes some time - there's a good chance they will be wearing these headphones.

But you won't have to break the bank. The MDR-506s have always been affordable for the amount of features packed into them. In this case, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to listen to amazing audio. Even if you're simply jamming to your favourite song at your office desk.
