What would you recommend between these three?
I went through previous posts but most threads were fairly old.
I currently have MDR V6 - should I upgrade to the others? |

The HD25's and Sony's have been reviewed to death on here. Not sure whether the z1000's are in the same league as the hd25's or 7506s.. |

| Yea i saw those but no mention of the z1000 or 7520 (seem the 1000 and 7520 are the same - kind of like the v6 and 7506) |

I've got the Sony MDR 7509HD and they are ing great for DJ'ing. Can wear them for hours, and they have the best detail of any headphones I've ever used.
I even use them for producing but I can't mix track or FX levels accurately on them as they are closed back.
When they break, I'll buy them again. |

Man I had those, but they were overkill! I couldn't imagine carrying them around with me to gigs. They sure were nice though. But I have the 7506's now, and I find they're perfectly suited for the job. |

I swear by the HD25's any day. Not saying the others are not good but the HD25's have great sound isolation and a very flat response. Use both for music production and DJing. They last which is another good thing so you wouldn't need to be a replacement any time soon, not to mention that they are the only phones I know that you can get spare parts for.
With all the above in mind, they are not to everyone's liking as it is a very specific sound that you get out of them not to mention some people find them not so comfortable.
Whichever you choose out of the 7509's and the HD25's you are going to get an excellent pair of headphones which will last a long time.
Ultimately it's a question of personal preference.

Simple rule of thumb... compare with your ears not your eyes.
Those charts are really only useful for telling you how the sound is produced. In an ideal world you want as flat a response as possible if you are looking to do production. But this will let you know the character of the sound.
If you were to look at some Hi Fi speakers then you would see a very different output as they often colour the sound depending who the target audience is.
The HD25 headphones are sound engineer grade headphones, you don't have to worry about quality as you will get it, but you have to make sure they are right for you. Same with the 7509s.

Yea i know.
But would like to figure out the y axis as well just to see what the deal is for the more expensive headphones. If the frequency output is the same and I cant make out differences when i DO get the chance to listen to them, id go for the cheaper cans. But you cant test out cans with all music types. So the frequency charts help with the dips and peaks you cant pick up at the store. |

I had the 7506's before, but when they broke (way too soon IMO) the 7509 HD's were the step up I was looking for. I love the fact the cups go around my elephant sized ears and I can wear them for hours without pissing me off.
The only problem I have them is that their detail is nearly too good. Whne I use them for producing I have to be very careful as I hear the tiniest things on them that aren't even reproduced by my studio monitors. can be dangerous as you start EQ'ing and adjusting things that can't be heard on other systems. |

Do you not think this is down to the fact the Sony's are incredibly bright? |

| Thats why i would like to know the frequency charts y axis above. They both seem to be bright n highs and would like to know why the y axis numbers are different to see if the prices are worth the difference. |
