Does the MDR 7506 work with Djing?

I know it is a industry-standard for production stuff. But does it up to mixing?

Looking at the MDR 7506, i don’t see why not... i use the MDR-V500 and the only real difference is the way they fit on your head.

If anything the only problem i foresee is them getting a bit uncomfortable after wearing them on one ear all the time as they are proper over the head earphones where as the V500 head band has the ability to shape to however you have them on your head.

I see from the spec that this guy only can push out 1000mw of power. Is it enough power or loudness for Djs to hear and monitor in club. Also, the headphone is "honest" that it responses with no coloring to the actual sound. That means no bass enhancement which can be found in most DJ headphone. Is it a cons ?

Spec of the MDR-V500

Auto swivel housing

1000 mW maximum input 10-25,000Hz frequency response

40mm drive unit Neodium magnet (5x more powerful than Ferrite)

Single sided OFC Cable Gold Plated Plug

A budget version of Sony's Top DJ headphones - the black MDRV500 also feature a Neodium magnet, single sided cable and swivel housing for the Ultimate in DJ convenience.

So i would say the ones you like would do just fine.

i cant really comment on other makes as i tend to stick to what i know and what works, lol. getting old you know.

best thing to do is visit a local audio shop and ask to have a listen to them and go from there... though most DJ headphones will be suited to a clubbing environment but with everything else, you get what you pay for. sounding good is only half the story... why pay £40 for a set every year when you can spend £100 every 4 years. build quality when it comes to headphones is something to watch out for.

Sorry for loads of questions mate .

no probs.
