Sony MDR-7509 Headphones, good or no?
Ive noticed that Sony has released a new pair of headphones being the 7509's, for the past 2 months Ive been fixed on getting the Pioneer HDJ-1000's...
I want some information about these 7509's because although they dont look as flashy as the HDJ, they look like they would fit and do just as good a job.

Vlad, blyat kak xolodno v san francisco, xochu obratno v los angeles gde teplo... ya tebe napishu v ponedelnik, cool!!!
harasho
get the pioneer's. they're HOLY.
Yeah the Pioneers are fucking hot I love mine.
The only reason why these appealed to me is for 3 reasons:
a. Its Sony, its hard to completely ignore this company.
b. These headphones dont have the garbage quality hindged ear pieces like the MDR-V###DJ series.
c. The ear cups arent round, they are ovalish-shaped to fit the ear as precisely as possible.
But I have to admit though I would think that the Pioneer headphones are better being that Pioneer also designs CD-players and mixers, and they know how to put it together to make it sound as near perfect as possible. But either way, I need to try them on physically to see how I feel in them.
1 other thing, if they are shit, why does PvD use them?
The sony MDR-7509's are the same as the MDR-V6s in the US. They ARE the music industry standard. Everyone talks about the precise bass and perfect sound. however they are studio headphones. They do NOT have the same outside sound blocking as the pioneers. So if you want really great sounding headphones these are it. They are ment to be used in a studio or home use. But DJ use might not be the best but pretty decent. If you want more info about them search the forum about the 7509's or the V6's (not the v600's those are crap) and see what everyone else says about them.

I just got a set of HDJ-1000's after going through the whole pioneer and sony investigation deal and these CANS POUND!!!!! They look sweet, everybody thinks I am crazy when I take them off my head to talk and they can hear exactly what the vocals are. BUT when I put them on all they hear is a VERY slight 'ting' from the bass. I have gone in my car and blasted the subs and listened to my ipod with the HDJ-1000's and if I wanted to I could mix in there (ipod only powers the HDJ-1000's to about 50% of what they can handle).
All I can say is you have to try out both sets of headphones before making a decision. Just one word of caution...if you do listen to both you will die if you have to wait for your order to come in...TRUST ME I DID!!!!
Yea, I know, I have a Sam Ash not far from my place, Im gonna have to take a trip there Tues.
I listened to the MDR-7509 before, at an audio store, next to other headphones.
The sound is great, but I feel they are more suited towards studio monitoring than djing. They have a similar sound as the 7506 but a more balanced sound where the highs arent as piercing and with a bit more mid to it. However, it has a quiet feel to it, as they seem to be for precise monitoring.
The Pioneer HDJ1000 has a sound more similar to the MDRV700 where the sound stands out, more than normal. Main difference i found between HDJ1000 and the 700s is that the HDJ had a cleaner sound but spacier (more stereo type sound), but I found the 700s had more bass and easier to beat match with.
The two headphones tend to have kinda exaggerated sound to where you can kinda lay them beside you (being off your head), and you can still hear the track like if they are mini speakers. I believe they are like that to work better with one ear monitoring.
When spending that type of money, i strongly suggest you hit the store and test them out yourself to the same source.
I can definitly agree with bachatu about the spacie sound with the HDJ-1000's and the other part I really liked was that you could switch to the mono setting. I found this got rid of the spacie sound especially if you do not like this sound.
Personally, I like the exaggeration of the highs and solid but not overwhelming bass.
Again if your spending that kind of money then go and find out for yourself, because it the only way you will be satisfied.
i brought my hdj1000s today, and i fucking love them, they r so sexy, and if they had a hole big enuf, i would fuck them.
I fuken told you!!!!!
They are the sweetest pieces in the world and they are stylin to boot.
The jury is still often out on the mdr-7509's... a few engineers enjoy using them as studio phones, but they don't have a whole lot of respect on head-fi... they are generally seen as warm headphones, and other brands are said to do everything the 7509's do sonically, but only better.. (Audio-Technica and Beyerdynamic, for example...)
Why not go search at www.head-fi.org for 7509 and view some reviews?
WOW we actually attracted to the almighty Gluegun to this thread
