I have the Sony professional MDR 7506. I've worked in radio for over 20 years. I'm pretty sure I've had these for over 20 years. They've held up really well. I've replaced ear pads a few times. They're only really used for work. Love them!
I used to have these senheisers, or maybe a similar model on early 2000's back when i was djing.. Real workhorse, they last me around 5 years of nightclub abuse... I can confirm, you are so,so, right about the sound been complete flat... you brought some nice memories back. My dad had actually bought them for me back then to help me with my dream job, been a dj :) thank you for that Markus.. :)
Just got the 840a for portable music. Its a big winner , a boost in the bass for all the fun, and retains all the detailed mids and highs for elevated appreciation of your tunes. BUY THESE CANS FOR YOUR MUSIC
I have the ATH-M40’s Which are a little flatter than the 50’s in my opinion and I love it. They were gifted to me when I got into video production by my mom. She has good taste!
Nice.. was looking at picking up headphones since I'm getting more in to audio/video. Never heard of Senal (as you predicted), but I think I'll be picking up a pair soon! Thanks for the video. :)
I use ear-protection and have the line in connected to the camera audio out. But then I film Air-shows so some kind of ear protection is necessary. But another advantage of ear protection is that professional grade is designed to be worn for an entire shift.
I have learned so much from your different series, especially on microphones and audio recording. I have been learning about In Ear Monitors recently as they tend to be used for monitoring musicians while they play an instrument during a live performance. I am interested in being able to monitoring myself while recording, and being active so I won't have to worry about them falling off or getting in the way. Apart from them not being entirely invisible, have you considered using them or do you have any suggestions about how to choose one? Thanks a bunch!
I have the Audiotechnica set and can vouch for the review you gave. Great sound. I got them for listening to music predominantly. They are a little large for taking around with you though but I LOVE them. I found a limited edition set that came in red.
Im surprised you didnt mention the Sony MDR-7506s! Those are a voice-over artists best friend, because they are the most accurate sounding headphones in the world
I always have a set of earbuds in my camera bag. Easy to carry, and they'll let you know if the sound you're recording is getting into the camera. Not great for checking for noise and that sort of thing, but easy to pack. For mixing and other critical work, I use Sony MDR-7506, which are still under $100. Have thought about getting a set of Sennheiser HD280PRO for the sound isolation on location. Still around $100. As you say, you really want a flat sound when recording or mixing, without boosted bass or muffled sound.
You skipped the custom iems. There are some very nice studio focused iems for musicians that do a good job of recreating the actual sound. I have a old sony mdfr-7506 and the closed backs kill the background noise but a nice set of iems will likely outperform them and you can put them in your pocket. They are a bit of a fad now but etymotics used to makes a proper custom set for people based on a mold you could get taken at an audiologist clinic in whatever city you happened to be in. Like getting fitted for hearing aids.
I've had that cheap Sony MDR-ZX110 set for about 5 years. There is (was?) a whole series of those out at the same time and with very similar ZX-#### model numbers so it was confusing to know what you were getting. I think most were designed for smartphones, based on the 4 contact plugs and the tiny tiny microphone switch part way down the cord. I've come to despise anything with TRRS plugs. Mics or headphones. They are just trouble coming for a recording scenario. BUT one thing about those ZX series phones is they fold up with the cups rotated 90 degrees so they lay flat in line with the headband. Super compact for bag space. They are at least "OK" for monitoring that you're not getting intermittent drop outs or interference noises. Camera audio level bars won't alert you to that.
I've got the Audiotechnica, but I find them uncomfortable, I got my wife Sennheiser gsp 300 for zoom meetings tried them out and immediately ordered myself the gsp 301 for myself. I think they have a good flat sound, and I can wear them all day comfortably.
"audio technica.......you know im not giving this away, so dont get excited to much" hahhaahahhahhhh i can feel there are tons of comments requesting to give away the items you got.... Lols made my day!!!
Yes I have a pair of those. The highs are way too trebly bright for me and the earcups are too small and hurt. They also sound a bit more distant than the Sony 7506 professional and the earcups comfortably go around the whole ear with those. I still personally like the softer warmer sound (and physical feel) of the Senal SMH-500. That's just me though.
Hello from Vorarlberg Austria 🇦🇹 I can only find the Panasonic RP-HT090E-H and I'm not sure if they are good for monitoring audio 😅 Kind regards Leopold 🤗
Great review about the headphones, I own "Audio Technica ATH-M40X" and the voice is amazing on it. thanks for the explanation but I wish if you did a Audio test. I wish for you a great day.
@@MarkusPix Some cheap Chinese stuff can be broken without using it. And I bought such kind of stuff that have a good characteristic but really is a garbage because manufacturers are cheating. And I mad about it. Manufacturers think that we are idiots. And possibly we are. Why you are buying stuff that you are not interested in?
@@MarkusPix Ha Ha! You busted me! But actually, I guess I should have said that when the video is loaded in Firefox (before I hit 'Play'), the screen shows a picture that is usually found when a video has been deleted. No big deal at all. Just weird that the thumbnail doesn't appear there as it almost always does.

yes they're good.
I've never used the Senal's, but I own a pair of the ATH-M50X and I gotta tell you, they're my all-time favorite headphones. Love this video!
When I got into video production my mom bought me the ATH-MX40’s and I still have them to this day. I love them!

I have a pair of the sennheiser 280 headphones. I love them
Happy New Gear!
Hahahaha! The cheesiness of that caught me completely off-guard.

Thanks for another giveaway! We also enjoy your instructional and informational videos. I missed your pretty lady in this one.

Which ones do you use now? I need some for video production. Im thinking about the panasonic ph-ht21 for an immediate need.
I have the Audiotechnica set and can vouch for the review you gave. Great sound. I got them for listening to music predominantly.
They are a little large for taking around with you though but I LOVE them.

The red makes the um....... sound travel faster.
🤣
lol!

Sony MDR-7506
Awesome maybe next time you can do a contest to the best image that you like just saying, we learn a lot from you!

Why would the Sennheiser HD280PRO have better isolation than the MDR-7506?

I'll better buy the best by myself 😉. Happy New Year from Latvia!
Second comment. But mine is better because I saw the video. Great video. Consider Beyerdynamics...
If you want the best sound and portability for the lowest budget (and no exaggerated bass), try the Koss KSC75.
ok I'll get one

you're the giveaway king
I bought my Sennheiser HD 25s and for monitoring my audio recording nothing comes even close. Just the doggies dangly bits😊
Great... I like headphones .

Dear Markus' Thnx for all the info, but you didn't cover the Impedance. What is the recommended headphones impedance for DSLR like Nikon Z9 etc
Do you remember the amazing quadraphonic 4 channel headphones ?
I love my m50x
"audio technica.......you know im not giving this away, so dont get excited to much" hahhaahahhahhhh i can feel there are tons of comments requesting to give away the items you got.... Lols made my day!!!
No mention of Senheiser HD25? ... industry standard for audio recording

Markus, the stereo version of the SONY MDR's is the MDR 7506 www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B07C9L28HQ
Great review about the headphones, I own "Audio Technica ATH-M40X" and the voice is amazing on it.
thanks for the explanation but I wish if you did a Audio test.
I wish for you a great day.
Thank you
I also have some headphones to giveaway :) But most of them are not in such a good condition. How did you manage to keep them in such a good shape?
Most of the stuff I buy I use maybe for 1 minute, then decide I'm not interested lol

FYI - As of the time of this comment, your video does not have a thumbnail.
Did you pay your thumbnail service this month?
