When I first heard a set of 7506s around 1989 or so it was on a well recorded orchestra. I could count the number of basses. Yes, accurate enough for me.

After a couple years of constant use (if you're lucky), the pads will start falling apart. Fortunately, the aftermarket has you covered.

Genuine Sheepskin Leather Earpads (Pair) over Memory Foam

Took a few hours to break these in but I have double the life I got from the originals and now all of my MDR 7506s have a pair.

What I don't mention in my review is that I have only one working hand due to a massive stroke 14 years ago. These pads just aren't that hard to install.
