Worst = pricing. Above average = style + comfort. Below average = Sound + build quality and replacement (Can't replace batteries or earcups for the newest model). IMO of course. I think they sit below the middle (So like a 30-40/100) if everything is considered.
If you like bass, and don't mind paying for Lil' Wayne to drink more sizzurp, get Beats. If all you care about is audio quality, get something like the OB-1 or CB-1. Beats are OK headphones, nothing special, and if they only cost like $100 they would be passable. They are shit for $300-$400.
This is the first video I have seen from you, and oh my. You put so much work and effort into this video to make it flawless. Amazing transitions, great editing, filters and color manipulation was great. Dude. You deserve about 500k subscribers on quality alone. Great work and keep it up!
7506s are the best headphones! They give you what's there. Used 'em in radio for decades and we use them on my podcast Total Babble. Btw, that not a retro design, that's just the way have been for decades. there's never been a reason to change them.
Can we get a playlist of all the music you listen to? The song at the beginning and all the music during the video were perfect Also you just got a new subscriber.
Hey everyone! Winners have been picked and contacted! Status Audio were cool enough to give me 5 winners to choose from. Anyway, If they dont reply or just hate me then i'll get in touch with some others! Stay tuned and thank you so much! :D :D :D
Hey Ash, is this real? Did I really win? Wow Man haha So should I just tweet you? My tweet account is @CharlieJVFC by the way. What are the odds haha 😁
Haha I've followed you almost since I discovered your channel. Actually the first video that I watched from you was the one about the Nexus Line phones review that you did for Android Authority. Thanks man!
I discovered his channel when the nvidea shield came out :D He should definitly produce videos more often, I realy enjoy them. It's always like watching a movie. And Congratulations on winning :) (When I think about it now I think I should have taken the closed back xD whatever... I am a very indecisive person anyways... T_T )
+Max Mustimani haha, hey buddy. I'm trying real hard to give back and get more giveaways going for those that supoort so stick around. I want to try and give something back to everyone :) and I would love to make more but it's time. This stuff takes a really long time, especially with balancing it with a hectic full time job but I will try! 😃
Bruuuuhhhhhhh! You made this interview just for me, huh? My MDR-7506 phones just broke after 5 years of constant use and I was a bit nervous about giving the CB-1 headphones a try but your video just won me over! Thanks man.
I've had them for a while now and I'd have to say it's one of my best purchases towards helping my music talent. Being able to hear all these frequency ranges as they are is wonderful. The speakers aren't lying to me, and when I go listen to my mix on other speakers, I'm only happy with the way that my mix turned out. The song always sounds exactly how I want it to when I'm done.
Ptyler good to hear that. Try to turn down the volume as low as possible sometimes so you can hear if everything still coms through and if something disapears & turn it back up on max volume to see if somethings overpowering the mix... just a little trick, everyone can use!
I have the Status OB 1, they are much better for mixing than the closed-back for two reasons. The first reason is that the open back gives you a better sense of space of your mix as well as a nice flat but true audio experience. Second of all they come with a quarter inch adapter so that you can plug it into your audio interface. I bought them when they first came out and I have not been disappointed. Best deal on a high end headphone. You won't be sorry
I'd love the open back headphones. Been a supporter since the beginning. Really happy with the growth! Keep it up. Honestly a lot better than most well known tech RUclipsrs.
In a sea of truly mediocre to downright horrible headphones out there, its nice to see someone recognize how truly amazing these cans are. I've been in broadcasting for nearly 30 years, and by an overwhelming majority, the MDR-7506's are without a doubt, the industry standard. I would conservatively say that around 70% of seasoned professionals use them, whether they be in radio, recording or television. Their reasonable price makes them a virtual steal and their durability (except for the sponge ear cups which flake way too soon after purchasing), comfortable fit and of course, their sound. Great low's, mid's and high's. No artificial bass like many out there, just good, crisp, clean audio. Thank you for your review!
+Jeff Gomske Hey Jeff. I really appreciate your comment. I honestly found it pretty weird (at the same time anyway) just how little was said about these headphones. I have three pairs right beside me now and for what they are - they're just awesome. Thank you again :)
nothing in the market under 100 today equals the Audio Technica ATH M40X which are even better and well balanced than the 50Xof the same brand... and this is a fact not a subjective point of view, if someone could find my advice helping...i Tested a lot...the M40x are just astonishing once you are used to...everything else sounds crappy or rumble or harsh...
RUclips is drunk you deserve more than u get your vids look even better than some big vloggers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- just you wait YOU WILL GROW BIG MA MAN
That's the common problem for who ever is tempted to play/produce/mix at home. My girlfriend was nut when composing breaks with one shots.... And listening to the same 5 seconds 300 times and the same tracks zilliion times when arranging....
Thanks Ash for this video! I'll definitely check out the Status Audio headphones ^^ I'm glad I subbed to you a while back, you're the tech world's hidden gem \(^_^)/ If I'm lucky, I'd love the OB-1 n_n Anyways, thanks for the vid, I'd really love to review tech like you one day :-)
Actualy they are better. First of all nothing changes except weight and the sound. 50s have more lows and highs, 40s have more kind of a flat sound. As a guy who has been playing guitar for 5 years I prefer 40s for the flat sound.
Oooh, didn't realize you were going to give a pair away! I'd love the open back for sure... Getting that new Radiohead OKNOTOK vinyl and would LOVE to plug those in to my Outlaw Audio RR2150!
been buyin those Sonys for over 25yrs.. definitely cosign them.. i had a few damaged ones.. no prob.. i combined them and turned 3 damaged ones into 2 good ones again.
SKgaming 356 my solos 2s just broke and i was very cardfull with them also had some inear ones same problem lose connection avoid beats at all costs i will never buy into the celeb advertising again
SKgaming 356 the headphones at the 99¢ store are better then beats. (not really, but if you're going to spend that much on headphones, look at other things in the same price range)
SKgaming 356 Beats are expensive for the brand, not the quality. All of these headphones, in fact any headphones at this price range, will sound better, and feel better than beats.
The wait between your videos seems forever, man! Good job with another jaw dropping palette on those colours! Would be incredible to have those Closed Back Headphones though.
I legit don't know what I and all of your fans like about your videos like I don't know what you did better than other tech channels in making this but holy crap your videos feel better to watch. It's just beautiful 😍😍
Close back *****Your production value is outstanding...graphic ***check: in and out of focus check *** humor check *** music fade in and out check. Brother you make this look easy.
Your video production looks great. I always appreciate an eye for nice aesthetics. Well done my friend. Open back headphones that sound great at that price point? Sign me up!
+Jevan Dass They're such awesome headphones. I'm glad they feel right for you. It's tricky with headphones as that more than most are susceptible to subjective opinions. :)
Loved the video. I've been debating on picking up some closed backed hesdphones for music on trips and gaming at night so I don't disturb my wife or daughter. Planned on some bose true sound but you convinced me! saw they offered 15% off in their site. Picked up CB-1 FOR $69 shipped! Can't wait to get them.
Am not asking for anything but your success. Materialistic things come and go but only fame comes once, I have watched you since a long time (when you were with Android Authority) and I truly know you deserve well over a million subs. Cheers and continue producing awesome content
In terms of movie making, we really enjoy watching your videos at our studio. Well done! I'm searching a pair of headphones for my own, but I already had SONY so now I will go with the audio-technica. All the Best from Kingslayer Studio Poland :)
Those speed ramps + sound design 🔥🔥
Dude. Do a giveaway. It's been a long time. 🤔
hey
Thanks for sharing about ash,wouldn't have find all of his great videos without you.
+Jonathan Morrison Now I just need a capable camera that doesn't band and then we're all good! Wait a minute, you just got a new camera 😂
You r the greatest Utube editor i had ever seen....Keep rocking
Your videos remind me of the first time I tried minecraft shaders.
once again, quality is godly. You deserve more recognition.
agreed
Alright i dont get this!! This dude is pumping out hollywood quality videos but he is at only 40k subs? Is this supposed to be a joke?!
I guess because he didn't make any propaganda since he become RUclipsr.
I think mr refurbished wants some examples :D
FREE HIP HOP BEATS - SUBSCRIBE this was posted 6 months ago idiot
Not a joke my man, just the sad truth of the world.
gotta build the fanbase
When your mom buys you beats that you didn't ask for and now you can't get these
+N Tekt they're ok, not the best but far from the worst
Considering that you can get three or four far better sounding headphones for the same price? Pretty close to the worst.
Worst = pricing. Above average = style + comfort. Below average = Sound + build quality and replacement (Can't replace batteries or earcups for the newest model). IMO of course. I think they sit below the middle (So like a 30-40/100) if everything is considered.

Mario Saltalamacchia *if you have money to fucking burn in wads of hundreds and you are misinformed enough to do so, buy Beats.
Dude, your videos are so well shot and edited, it's unreal.
Mrthesamster- Great profile pic.
Awesome video as always! Sophie killed it in the beginning!
+Matthew Moniz Yeah, good directors bring out the best in people, even after 4 arguments. Ha
Ash Tailor How do these compare to the Superlux line of headphones?!
Tata_Batata ever find out? Lol
This is the first video I have seen from you, and oh my. You put so much work and effort into this video to make it flawless. Amazing transitions, great editing, filters and color manipulation was great. Dude. You deserve about 500k subscribers on quality alone. Great work and keep it up!
Couldn't not agree more.

Sony 7506s? Thanks
@@t.terrell7037 yep!
Respect for you. Taking the time to create professional videos like this even when it's about headphones. This was a great review man.
Bought the cb-1 and MAAAANNNN they sound good. Headed back to the site in a couple of weeks to order the ob-1s. Guys you wont regret these cans
+minsb4midnight Glad you liked them dude! You'd never expected it and they surprised me too :) thanks for checking out the video :)))
yo, how's the base for the cb? I love me sum punchy bass... helps me sleep after a long day x)
Can we get a playlist of all the music you listen to? The song at the beginning and all the music during the video were perfect
Also you just got a new subscriber.

The quality and editing style is insanely great. You need to be widely recognized in the RUclips community!
Keep making more videos! God bless you!
Insanely good cinematography, color correction, speed ramps, sounds... Id love to learn from you
🔥🔥🔥
Btw Audio technica ATH M40x is also a nice option!
Anyway amazing video as always.
I love the flat color grading here; it’s very clean and crispy
Love your video style dude!
Dude, such a pleasure listening to your commentary - chill, concise. Thanks.
Are the Status OB/CB-1's good for mixing? Do these have a flat sound or are the altered in some frequency ranges?
Ptyler toats usable for mixing, pretty flat sound
I've had them for a while now and I'd have to say it's one of my best purchases towards helping my music talent. Being able to hear all these frequency ranges as they are is wonderful. The speakers aren't lying to me, and when I go listen to my mix on other speakers, I'm only happy with the way that my mix turned out. The song always sounds exactly how I want it to when I'm done.
Ptyler good to hear that.
Try to turn down the volume as low as possible sometimes so you can hear if everything still coms through and if something disapears & turn it back up on max volume to see if somethings overpowering the mix... just a little trick, everyone can use!

Definetly prefer the OB1😍
mind blown @ video production quality
again with the cinematic videos! 😍👌🏽 on point
and since I never win anything, here we go CB-1! 😂
Discovered your channel a few days ago and I am impressed. You breath a new life into RUclips! Thank you and keep it up!
wow... this guy makes his boring ho hum apartment look beautiful.
+name apartment is so dull. Can't do too much either because it's rented :(
Ash Tailor could u give us a tour + tips to make up a appartment
name yeah give us your palace a tour
The quality of this video is beyond perfection.

Jeff Gomske How much do you earn at Sony?
Just found this channel Ithought you was a much bigger RUclipsr ? Quality is on point good on ya m8
nothing in the market under 100 today equals the Audio Technica ATH M40X which are even better and well balanced than the 50Xof the same brand... and this is a fact not a subjective point of view, if someone could find my advice helping...i Tested a lot...the M40x are just astonishing once you are used to...everything else sounds crappy or rumble or harsh...
Gotta say those closed back Status caught my eye! Would be awesome to try them! Keep up the nicest tech videos :D
OB-1 more like ObiWan
Slooth 2K damn
Funny stuff ...
LOL!!! I didn't think of that!!
I've been using CB-1 for 4 months and I'm pretty satisfied. They won't blow you away but for the given price, They are great.
Were you sponsored to showcase the status audio ob1 and cb1's ?
Haha thought the same.. very suspicious.
+TruthSeeker not at all. They're just genuinely good for the price and then I asked and they were cool enough to give some away.
+Archadiaes Nope, not at all :)
Ash Tailor Yeah right. do you really think people are so dumb?
+Yung Jan I'm not lying, lol
Awesome video Ash, I wouldn't expect anything else coming from you. I would want the Status OB-1 if I won.
RUclips is drunk
you deserve more than u get
your vids look even better than some big vloggers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just you wait
YOU WILL GROW BIG MA MAN
true words
Love the minimalistic touch, your videos are great Ash. I would like the closed back headphone if I won.
hhaha,that beginning is so cute
+Figure8 👐😌
That's the common problem for who ever is tempted to play/produce/mix at home. My girlfriend was nut when composing breaks with one shots.... And listening to the same 5 seconds 300 times and the same tracks zilliion times when arranging....
Ash Tailor
would be nice if she can do the ross hand gesture from friends lol
+Praba Garan hahaha, that'd be awesome
The camerawork and editing in this video is pretty insane
OB-1 Kenobi.
Can-obi*
the close back brother. they look like the M50 but I can't wait hear how they sound.
thank u for the video
Well executed. I'm single. So. Open Back.
xD RIP...
lmao
Haha!
;D Only the highest quality....Audio.... is tolerated. Technomatt Plays Super Vegetto Lucas K.
watched this on the 7506s. Had them for almost a year and they are amazing!
Thanks Ash for this video! I'll definitely check out the Status Audio headphones ^^ I'm glad I subbed to you a while back, you're the tech world's hidden gem \(^_^)/
If I'm lucky, I'd love the OB-1 n_n
Anyways, thanks for the vid, I'd really love to review tech like you one day :-)
I'd like the status audio CB-1. Awesome video as always.
imma get the mdr
ThatOne youtubeguy me too! Already ordered!
Ibrahima Wone ME TOO! It arriving next week. It looks really retro but i'm hoping that its comfortable and has good quality
ThatOne youtubeguy hope we can talk about the sound quality once we get the chance to test them! But they look awesome and class
its arriving in a few days
ThatOne youtubeguy got mine's! They are amazing
Closed back all they way. And again fantastic work!
the athmx-40 are even better.
no
Actualy they are better. First of all nothing changes except weight and the sound. 50s have more lows and highs, 40s have more kind of a flat sound. As a guy who has been playing guitar for 5 years I prefer 40s for the flat sound.
yep, i got the 40s because the description on them included the flat tuning that's great for mixing
Yep, I have them, they are great
MrWalker1000 Nope the both the 7506 and the V6 destroys them.
Oooh, didn't realize you were going to give a pair away! I'd love the open back for sure... Getting that new Radiohead OKNOTOK vinyl and would LOVE to plug those in to my Outlaw Audio RR2150!
مش حالك
been buyin those Sonys for over 25yrs.. definitely cosign them.. i had a few damaged ones.. no prob.. i combined them and turned 3 damaged ones into 2 good ones again.
are hey better than headphones like beats?
+SKgaming 356 absolutely. Beats are terrible.
SKgaming 356 my solos 2s just broke and i was very cardfull with them also had some inear ones same problem lose connection avoid beats at all costs i will never buy into the celeb advertising again
SKgaming 356 the headphones at the 99¢ store are better then beats. (not really, but if you're going to spend that much on headphones, look at other things in the same price range)

SKGAMING 356 your dumb
open back please first video I've seen from you on my feed and production quality is great! especially love the fast forward edits
I though "another american review"
Hears girl - british af
The intro is so interesting! My dad uses CD900ST which looks similar to your headphones.
they're all the same..jesus!!!
talking about wives...:p
PeterbossPT fuck you
need a hug, friend?
Those OB1 sound like they would be smooth and they look cool too!
Thanks Ash! Always looking for a new set of cans. If I am selected, I would like a pair of CB-1. Good luck to all!
Another epic visual feast for the eyes
And I'd want the closed back ones
The wait between your videos seems forever, man! Good job with another jaw dropping palette on those colours! Would be incredible to have those Closed Back Headphones though.
Its amazing what you do with a camera. Great video work. I like the design of the open back a little better than the closed back.
you have great choice of colors, nice editing with nice colors. awesome work man! well i would love cb. :)
I would love the Status Back Open Back. They look and sound awesome. And love the fact that there's no branding or celebrity endorsements.
Stumbled upon your videos just a few months ago and I love the way they look. If I was to be lucky to win, the open backs would be awesome.
Another unique video... I can't actually believe that you only have 36k subs. Never change, keep up the good work!
+Darude Sandstorm Thanks dude. It means a lot 😃
Lol love the intro to the video. Going through the same problem when playing games. I would like to go for the close back.
I love the open back option. Great video, Ash!
Open back... and great video by the way. Been searching for new headphones lately and never heard about 'Status Audio'. Deuces.
I legit don't know what I and all of your fans like about your videos like I don't know what you did better than other tech channels in making this but holy crap your videos feel better to watch. It's just beautiful 😍😍
i am loving your video quality,they are unique and beautiful

Crazy video Ash ;)
I would really love the open back design. Thanks a lot for the opportunity.
Open Back.You always make great quality videos they're soothing to watch tbh
Great video as always, Ash. I would like the closed back ones.
+Osaz Osaghae Dude! Good to hear from you again man. Thanks for that support😃
Subbed, great shots, and fantastic color grading and editing especially for a review video
both are great, I would probably prefer the open back because I really love the design.
To notch Vid as usual Ash, personally I would love a set of CB's as the family may complain otherwise.
+Matthew Colbourn Thank you buddy :)
Your video production looks great. I always appreciate an eye for nice aesthetics. Well done my friend. Open back headphones that sound great at that price point? Sign me up!
Awesome video ! I would love the closed back ones !
I bought the CB-1s because of you and honestly the best purchase I have ever made.
+Jevan Dass They're such awesome headphones. I'm glad they feel right for you. It's tricky with headphones as that more than most are susceptible to subjective opinions. :)
i actually love this guys cinematography and the Ob-1s look sweet id love a pair if i win
Another great video Ash keep them coming. I would like to try open back ones.
Ash makes some of the best videos out there. Seriously , the production quality is second to none :0
Ash's videos are happiness redefined😊. Great video again man and yeah can i have those status closed back headphones?😉
Loved the video. I've been debating on picking up some closed backed hesdphones for music on trips and gaming at night so I don't disturb my wife or daughter. Planned on some bose true sound but you convinced me! saw they offered 15% off in their site. Picked up CB-1 FOR $69 shipped! Can't wait to get them.
Such a clean chilled out video. Nice job. Oh! Aan CB1's Ash
Great video as always ash, I think the closed back would be great I defo need to take a look at them
I would like one !
Nice video ash, as usual an unique style
Awesome video quality as always. Would love the closed back headphones from Status Audio!
colours on point.
I would love to try the ob1!
Am not asking for anything but your success.
Materialistic things come and go but only fame comes once, I have watched you since a long time (when you were with Android Authority) and I truly know you deserve well over a million subs. Cheers and continue producing awesome content
OB-1 please!!! :) been searching for the perfect open back headphones for a while now and OB-1 totally got me excited. thanks!!!! :)
The editing, the camera work, and the whole quality in itself is absolutely stunning, take my like and sub!
In terms of movie making, we really enjoy watching your videos at our studio. Well done! I'm searching a pair of headphones for my own, but I already had SONY so now I will go with the audio-technica. All the Best from Kingslayer Studio Poland :)
+Kingslayer Studio nice! Which one did you go with?
Ash Tailor The m30 :)
Damn, you're videos always look so great. Cb1's would be cool.
Nice video Ash, the OB1's look amazing, I'll definitely go with those
