They have a nice seal, sometimes too nice like it feels like a suction-cup, but I often give those to people to track. I like the sound of the 7506's a lot better, but if you end up wearing them all day long you realize your ears hurt and they are squashed against your face.

I know they're not what you are looking for but the 650's do sound leagues better and you can wear them all day without thinking about it. However, they are open-air design so not necessarily the best for tracking always.

Just my .02, hope it helps.


I have the 280's.

I pretty much agree with what he said about them. They are functional (though I wouldn't use them to mix) and I REALLY like them for tracking. Especially people who need good isolation. They are also sturdy and pretty comfy but I do also agree that sometimes they feel TOO sealed.

Eh, for what I use them for I'd buy them again.
