I've always wanted a pair of these headphones and so far, I understand why these have been a staple in studios since the 80's. These are pretty comfortable after hours of continued usage and have a solid response for when you're working on music. It also doesn't hurt that these are usually far less expensive than the other, popular name brand headphones out there. I highly recommend these both as a music producer and as a DJ. They're also great for casual use. I cannot compliment these headphones enough.

I love using this model to listen to music and podcasts. The sound is warm and rich and the bass is just right. I'm not sure how good these will be for studio mixing, but overall they are a solid set of headphones. The band is adjustable and the padding is comfortable but seem as though they may wear over time. Upon research, they can be easily replaced.

Great sound quality. It can connect to my laptop and an extension piece for the studio. It fits comfortably on my ears and blocks out surrounding noises well.

As painfully generic as these things look, there is a reason why professionals use these quite often. They're durable, comfortable once you get them broken in and they are great for mixing or even regular listening.
Since they've been around for a good while, many many accessories are available and replacement pads are easy to get. Plus replacement parts are readily available.
Although, I only really have two complaints.
The biggest one being the cable. Yes, these are meant to be studio headphones and basically plugged in at your desk and left there. But having the option to remove and replace the cable with ease should be the default; since coiled cables are not as favorable anymore. But because these headphones have been available for many years, others have tinkered around and easily found ways to remove the cable and replace it with a headphone jack and just make a DIY removable cable.
My other complaint involves the original ear pads. The fake leather is super thin and wrinkly and honestly, Sony should know better than to repeatedly sell one of their most well known headphones with the cheapest possible pads. If you happen to be familiar with the Sony MDR-ZX110, the $10 on-ear headphones that you buy as a spare just in case, those earpads share a lot of similarities with the earpads on the 7506. But like I mentioned before, 3rd party pads exist and they can be had for cheap.
If you're just starting with sound mixing or podcasting, get these because the professionals use these as well. If you can get them on sale or use coupons to lower the price, even better.

Excellent sound and comfort for my PC listening needs. Ear muffs isolate ambient sound much more than I expected.
Cord is robust and a bit heavy so I recommend not letting it hang unsupported from the PC headphone port.

Sound quality is good. Ear pads are comfortable for shorter sessions, but made one of my ears sore after a couple of hours. So I got some replacement ear pads and am very happy with them. For the price, I still came out ahead of the more expensive alternative I was considering.
