AirPods Max: An Audiophile Review

Honestly a $90 set of Sony MDR-7506 will last you 25 years if you replace the earpads every now and then. Probably the best sound out there for the price, and a decent portion of your music collection may have even been mixed and mastered with these cans so they are a great choice. Hear what the producer heard when they were laying the tracks.

Audio fidelity hit its stride decades ago. 40-50 year old stereos are still sought after, not because they look nice and are classic like a vintage car, but mostly because the sound quality is still excellent today.

MDR-7506 are more or less indestructible (and their naked structure means they are very easy to repair). That's why they were used in sound studios, mainly as sound monitors for artists.

They behave a bit like Yamaha NS10 monitors in that anything that sounds good in them, will sound good anywhere.

> Sony MDR-7506

But how do you connect them to your phone. I wish this wasn’t a thing.

You mean the phone I can't connect to the computer out of the box?

Never mind the computer, how do you get power into it?
