These are excellent headphones, but they are far from "neutral" or "flat" (look up the frequency response graph for them if you're curious). They have a pretty significant midbass and treble boost, which is helpful monitoring audio as it's being recorded (midbass for wind noise, mechanical rumble and "plosives", treble for static/interference) but not an accurate representation of what's being recorded. Truly flat/neutral closed back headphones are tough to make because of internal reflections, but the Audio Technica M50x would be a more neutral option in the ~$100 price range.

Not to knock these headphones at all – they were my first pair of "real" headphones and are an industry staple for a reason: they are excellent at the above application, are comfortable for hours on end and can take a serious beating and keep on going. Just know they're a bit more of a U-shaped frequency response (which is exactly what some people prefer).
Primarily used to listen to songs as they were intended to be heard, without coloring them with unwanted EQ adjustments.

sony 7506s are going to sound flat compared to those 2. no base boost, or punch, or extension. primarily used to monitor people's voices during recording.

These are the best headphones. Been using the same pair for 20 years I think, they only thing ive done is replace the ear pads.

If you're starting an audio production career this is excellent. My studio gave everyone a pair. For anything else like music or gaming I think you can do better, like Audio Technica M50.

These were the headphones that were recommended to me by my professor when I took a music production course back in college and they definitely do the job. If you're a producer then I can vouch for these.

I'd argue the M50x, which I own a pair, is less neutral due to it's pronounced bass.

In any case, they're both "monitors" - if that's what youre looking for you can't go wrong with these Sonys.

I've bought a lot of headphones and the X2HR are my favorite pair that I've owned for the last two years. What you get for the price is unmatched in my opinion.

Rtings.com lists 35 headphones under $500, and 4 pairs under $100, that have a flatter frequency response than these. They became an industry standard because they have been made forever, are durable and take abuse in the studio, and have a relatively flat sound. But it's a myth that they're the most neutral around.

I used the Sony MDR headphones for ~10 years and they are truly an excellent pair of headphones. I got the X2HR's a couple years ago and while they are great I do miss my Sony headphones. The X2HR's are more Bass heavy and 'fun' but the Sony's are great for listening to a song a picking out the fine details that you might miss with the X2HR.
