Wrote the following about Sony MDR-7520 studio headphones

Ik heb door mijn werk (en hobby) inmiddels een hele hoop hoofdtelefoons en headsets mogen bezitten en mogen testen, maar deze doet nu eens eindelijk wat een goede studio referentiehoofdtelefoon moet doen: het geluid weergeven zoals het is. Gebalanceerd, nergens vervormd of overdreven en prima afgesloten van de buitenwereld.

Natuurlijk, ik heb ook een Ultrasone PRO 900 die nog veel meer laat horen -vooral in het hoogmidden en hoog- maar dat is een weergave zoals anderen hem waarschijnlijk nooit zullen horen. En uiteindelijk produceren wij films en documentaires die simpelweg op TV-toestellen en huiskamer-audio-installaties worden afgespeeld. Of bij grootbeeldprojectie op een (non-hifi) PA-systeem. Dan hou je jezelf voor de gek bij een 'te mooie' afluistering.

Wij hebben voor onze locatieopnames al een tijdje de Sennheiser HD25C-II en Sony MDR-7506 in gebruik. Deze hoofdtelefoon in de studio past daar prima bij. ten opzichte van de 7506 heeft de 7520 grotere oorschelpen, zit daardoor comfortabeler en sluit beter af.

...En voor het 'shiny design' (wat deze SONY 7520 absoluut niet heeft :-)) hebben we een Pioneer HDJ-2000. Dat is tevens onze gasten-hoofdtelefoon. Voordeel: die klinkt nog wat meer 'real world'.

The number of megapixels increases with every new generation of cameras and monitors. Sony are of the opinion that microphones should do the same.

The dual capsule and extremely quiet electronics have been borrowed from its counterpart, the C-800G.
