Talk:Sony MDR-7506
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With all due respect to the contributors to this page, Wikipedia is not an online marketplace. The article claims that Sony MDR-7506 is one of the "most popular stereo headphones in the domain of mixing, mastering and stage-monitoring." Well, what's "most popular"? MDR-7506 may be popular studio headphones, but so are dozens of others. Unless evidence can be provided (not coming from Sony) that this particular product is of very high notability by itself, this article serves no other purpose but advertising. Hence the tag.Yavrey (est vrai) 19:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I think to delete the whole article is too far, they are extremely widespread studio monitors and part of recording history, if you dont like the comment about them being "most popular" or popular at all then edit that, but i think deleting the whole article would be ashame as they are alot more well known then most headphones.
See, if they are "extremely widespread studio monitors," then a mentioning of them (given some consensus) belongs to, say, Sound recording and reproduction or Professional audio (btw, why are then these listed in High end audio?). Same applies for their alleged historical role in the recording industry. As for "alot more well known then most headphones" — well, depends on whom you ask. To sum up: I believe that the existence of this article singles out MDR-7506 to an extent that it becomes a product promotion vehicle for Sony. Also, if you believe that the article has good enough raison d'etre, may I ask you to consider providing a link to one or more well-established and authoritative source/s with no commercial interest in this product, which would justify your claim that MDR-7506 are a lot more well known than most headphones.
