Europe force Sony to withdraw MDR-7520 professional headphones

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

Sony have been forced to withdraw their excellent Professional series MDR-7520 headphones from sale in Europe because they don't pass the European safety regulations due to their high efficiency, power handling and attainable SPL! In my opinion and that of other professional users, these headphones set a new standard for closed back monitor headphones, but now we are not allowed to buy them.

So, the European government now want to tell us how loud we can play our music?

Another factor to be considered is that these were not on sale in Sony centres or hi-fi retailers, only through Sony professional dealers. It is fair therefore to assume the end users would be professionals, who know what they are doing and understand SPL.

"Nanny" is taking over!
