    I have been pleased with the MDR-7506 as well, and if agents are using them, then it is the best choice in Voicebunny land. But I have also had recommendations for Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 ohm Closed-back Studio Mixing Headphones from very good sources. Note that they are more expensive. Harlan Hogan has also come out with his signature headphones.

    I am in love with my MDR 7506 as well! I love how their response is the most stable from the headphones I've used. I like the DT 770 Pro 80 and I love them for mixing music but I've found that they tend to have a boost in the low frequencies that, to my ears, is not very desirable for voice overs.

    I think it's more of a matter of getting used to your headphones! I also own a pair of AudioTechnca ATH-M50x. These are less expensive than the MDRs and they also work super super well! I use them to monitor my voice overs and have helped me a lot to make my squeaky voice sound more balanced!

    Absolutely. Got two pair of MDR 7506s. But I forgot to mention Bose noise cancelling. They are NOT for audio mixing. And NOT for listening to tracks for recording. BUT if you need to get on a plane, or you need to listen to something while walking around, and do not want speakers on (which can bother people), AND you have disposable income, they are worth a look. They are really amazingly comfortable.

    I repeat they are NOT useful in Voicebunny land.

    And they are around $400 bucks. Yikes.
