That's majorly inconsistant with my experience. The MDR7506 are smiley faced
EQed, but they are clean. If you're hearing distortion, it's probably what's
in the system. A lot of Chinese LD and SD mics have a lot of trash.
Ty's probably hit it on the head with these phones -- they will alert you to
distortion elsewhere in the system; they might even exaggerate such distortion if
they themselves are already at the threshold of audible distortion. Doesn't take
much more to make distortion clearly audible.
Though perhaps a nuisance in some settings, this could be a useful trait in others.
For years I've been running some higher-end end gear (Grace, Gefell, Neumann), so
system distorsion is pretty low. But before I tweaked the old Soundcraft in 2005-6,
I do seem to recall some nasty sound from those phones that "went away" as the
electronics got upgraded.
