But, what I do find amazing, how many claim this or that pair of headphones sound great, but so very, very few grade CD audio during reviews.

Before Charley Lake was canned at WMGK-FM (Philly) [before Bill Weston took his duties - also manages WMMR-FM] I would e-mail him and tell him to get rid of that foul sounding Rolling Stones song!! He replied, "I guess you don't like ABKCO". He read my mind!! But, let's face facts, it's not like the top dogs in radio try very hard to impress with pristine sound quality, why HD Radio fell flat on its face. But, Charley was nice and asked where to purchase some CCR finer stereo. I TRY to help radio stay afloat!

A contributor sent this, a nice 7" vinyl rip. Sadly, Rolling Stone Magazine failed to mention it is not included on any Mirage album CD/DVD [box] set. Yeah, Classic Rock experts...

One thing I'd not prefer is the folding part. Rather have it fixed - too sloppy as is.
Plus, all the sudden, an ear cushion fell off!! Pain to put it back on! But I still like my Sony's!

I also hate the folding part of the Sony 7506's. It seems to pinch my fingers way
too often. I really don't think the reduced space by folding headphones is a very
useful feature.

-- I agree. Probably most never have to transport them.


On a side note, I used the 7506 headphones for many years and thought they
were great. Someone, probably on this group, suggested the Sennheiser
HD 380 Pro's and once I became familiar with them, I like them better. When
I use the 7506's now, they don't appeal to me as much. This isn't a
diss against the 7506's but rather, I think, my acclimation to a different
listening experience.

-- Maybe Sennheiser's had greater sensitivity? I had a cheaper pair ($40) of Sennheiser's, not bad, cord eventually gave out.
