- I’ll assume you are here because you are looking into buying a pair, maybe your first pair of professional monitoring headphones and you don’t know which ones to get. By now you know why you need them and what they are all about. But how do they stack up against each other?!
Well you’re in luck. In this video we review the two best budget options for monitoring headphones, the Sony MDR-7506 and the Audio Technica ATH-M30X. Both of these headphones will serve you well. They are in the same price range and both include a leather pouch and adapter. Perhaps the biggest difference is the cord, straight vs coiled.
So how do you choose? Watch the video and find out.

this was ridiculously specific to what I was looking for. have yourself a like
You don't have to use any app to spy on your partner, in my own case when all the care and attentions was gone and time of availability at home began to waver, i worry my wife might be cheating on me, but i had no way of establishing this fact since i didn't have access to her phone or laptop, then i contacted this special hacker who was introduced to me by a friend, on contacting this professional hacker, i was able to know the reason for my wife lack of responsibility at home, i discovered so many love messages and conversations on several apps on her phone that revealed that he was actually seeing someone. This hacker is reliable and good. Text- +1 (304) 470-9898
I’m confused, you give reasons why the AT’s are more comfortable...then state the Sony’s are more comfortable?
me too! :=)
cause he has no idea what hes talking about. idk why this review has so many likes, he didn't even say anything about how they sound.
he mentioned “personal preferences”. what he said was for others opinion, they might think that m30x is more comfortable compared to sony but for him, its the other way around.
I own both, although I've got the older ATH-M30 (non-X) that doesn't fold. I've had the M30s for nearly 10 years at a guess, and the 7506s for about three years, they were issued to me by my work with Canford limiters built in, which I quickly bypassed. I'd say that the M30s are probably a "nicer" sounding headphone, but the 7506s are a bit clearer in terms of high end detail, to the point of seeming a wee bit harsh. I find that the long straight cable is actually easier to work with, as I usually just coil it up at the length I need and fire a bit of tape round to keep the loop in place. The curly cable on the 7506 gets pretty tangled when taken in and out of my bag on a routine basis. Ross
The M30x can take a lot of abuse but the part that failed for me after 7 years was the cable leading from the adjuster to the speaker. The adjuster doesn't lock properly which is a problem.
Most important thing is the sound right? So how do they sound?
Just a heads up, the MDR-7506’s don’t come with a leather bag anymore. Now it’s a really nice ballistic nylon one with a really soft lining
Excellent video and great descriptions! I ended up getting the Audio Technica M30x. Keep up the good work!
Are you happy with your choice? How would you describe their sound?
You forgot about the most important thing. Sound quality!
First I bought the m30x (because it sounds really good and the material quality is excellent) than I ordered the MDR7506, because the m30x is not exactly what I expected... for mastering! Its really good for listening music, but not for mastering, it has always misleaded me to the wrong way.... But the mdr7506 is great for that as well, if something sounds good on that excellent pair of headphones , it will sound good on everything! ..... So, for me, the m03x is great for music listening and for reference, the mdr7506 is magnificent for mastering, mixing ;)) (subjective opinion)
For future readers. Mdr has boosted low n high frequencies. Recommend m40x. To hear thar flat neutral sound.
@@musicxtech6680 thank you
I have both, I definitely find the Sony's to be a lot more comfortable and in terms of sound it definitely depends on what you are listening to which is better.. the bass is a lot better with the m30xs and the Sony's have much better treble.
Sony ones cost nearly double now compared to M-30x. Not a fair comparison.
Considering this video is nearly 10 years old and prices change, it was a fair comparison at the time.
Is there a substancial difference in sound between the 30x and 20x? I want them as an extra pair and I don’t know if it’s really worth it to spend the extra money.
got MDR 7506 and I'm very happy! I'm certain technica is good too but I don't have money for these 2,only one
how are they working 4 months later? i'm considering getting them and i see bad reviews about the ear muffs falling off or the right side not working
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman you mean mdr right? Its amazing...earsmuffs you can change,but after knowing better i adjusted his top head to large size so its more confortable,but if you feeld very heavy on any of your ears try to equilibrate The weight..simple adjust to The weight be on your top head nor on your ears.
wait isn't MDR-7506 more expensive lol
in belgium yes .... m30x 70 euros m40x 90 euros sony 99 euros .......
In indonesia mdr 7506 costs over twice than m30x lol
Sound quality the 7506 blows the m30s out the water
+Antonio Machado I think so too.
I can't test but I'm very certificated that Sony is stunning amazing. I'm a huge sonyst fan as we call here .... I have pulse elite from Sony for game and now 3 years later I got this legend that is MDR 7506,my opinion is that MDR is huge epic. it needs 2 bars of volume to sound great! we hear every little sounds and it's more tiny than pulse, a little less comfortable because it's tiny on my ears but I love the sound make me want to use it all day. the thing is pulse have 7.1 them it space the sound in sub channels and MDR not...but using for gaming the MDR is epic as well as pulse. for music it is wooooow. I didnt used on movies but I sure used on videos TH-cam like this one. it make a big deal job
+Caleb Wojcik I mean.. I can't test technica
i️ have these 7506 and i️ listened to jvc ,beats but these sony’s are a clear winner .
You can get two pairs of ATs for the price of one Sony...
how do the m30x compare to stock apple earpods
Are this good for music for my phone?
+niveklean22 Yes, they would both be solid options for music listening.
+Caleb Wojcik for monitoring, which one's better?
am i crazy, or didn you not mention anything about the sound
I would say those Sony's are a tad more harsh and they are not as durable. The Sony's are a little less accurate like the m70xs. I prefer the m40xs for everything honestly and I hardly put my m40xs near full volume and hardly have to because they have good noise blocking, but also pretty low noise leaking even after years of use with many genres and stuff.
what about shure srh440
+Vasu Sharma Don’t know as I haven’t used it. Sorry!
how do they compare to the sol republic master tracks?
Hi when i listen music With My iPhone with the 7506 the sounds its low but when i put the sennheiser hd 25 1 2 sounds much higher. Do you know why? Thanks
It have higher impedance mean if u play it on amp or good dap it will have much more clean sound
I checked AT's website, looks like cable is not detachable now
It should be on the M50’s. Not the 30’s.
Is there a sennheiser of the same price range you would consider better than these two? Or any other brand
I found other TH-cam that makes the test .. people like much senheiser maybe it's in high class,mdr and technica is on medium class ( he classified)
i would appreciate a link
ughelli88 no, before the 300.- pricerange all sennheise get blown away by audiotechnica, sony and bayerdynamics
Sennheiser HD280 pro is a better option
But does it Djent?
Brainwavs hm5 and the NVX xpt-100 are more similar
MDR 7506 vs brainwavz hm5 ?
Are they still the best ?
I think so. Not much has changed in this budget range.
should I buy it for mobile song
Coke StudZ sure why not?
The 7506 headphones are not entry level. LOL The price means nothing. The 7506 have been in studios since late 80's final finish in 1991.
i use audiotech for gaming, works great
Are they flat
Why not the sony v6 which has better audio
