Sony MDR-7506 Headphones

Have been using these for a week or two now and am very pleased. I wanted to be able to play guitar without disturbing the rest of the household, but still be hearing roughly the same guitar tone I get from my amp speaker. These headphone do a great job at a reasonable price, they are comfortable for extended practice and appear well made. Bax also did a great job, getting them to me quickly and well packaged.

Devine MIC100/3 XLR Microphone/Signal Cable, 3m

1st Time I've tried this cable brand so its early days but plugged it in and it works so a good start, seems solid enough for the price but time will tell. For some reason I seem to kill cables at the XLR plug by what looks like excessive cable rotation and I don't mean spinning mike around my head on end of cable but cable always seems to get twisted breaking outer insulation and then a copper core gives up. Could it be because I don't have a mike stand?

Sony MDR-7506 Headphones

Nice clean sound. Not too fussy and ideal for my domestic use environment when used for listening to various genres.

Nice and light too with a good fit. So good in fact, that as I suspect these will get scarce at some stage, I may even buy a spare pair. I have several pairs of headphones and all are very individual but these seem to combine the qualities of them all to give me just the level of detail I like but without being overbearing in any particular frequency range.

Absolutely excellent these cables are super OFC and the best value i could find anywhere, and, as usual, prices are very very competitive indeed, service great, products great, delivery and packaging great, what more do you need to know. keep it up Bax shop.

Sony MDR-7506 Headphones

Product is great. Different from your normal "recreational" headphones in that it portrays the true audio signal and doesn't make any frequency compensation such as boosting the bass, like my previous headphones. They run loud from a very low volume and pick up ridiculous levels of background detail. Bought primarily for music production and am not disappointed.

Tascam FR-AV2 Compact 32-Bit Float Field Recorder

Prima geluid kwaliteit, zowel microfoon ingang als de externe input.
De menu structuur is eenvoudig voor alle instellingen . Koppeling met iPhone werkt zeer goed met bleutooth.
De druktoetsen zijn minder geschikt voor dikke vingers. Bediening met een iPhone/pad werkt gaat goed.
Software van de file manager werkt met Windows 11 goed.
