7: Sony MDR-7506
Anyone studying this list of the best-selling studio headphones will notice that inexpensive models and “timeless classics” dominate the sales charts. So, where do the Sony MDR-7506s fit in?

These closed-back headphones boast good workmanship, reliable sound, and comfort. The MDR-7506 isn’t just popular in the studio, though. Sony headphones are also frequently seen at live performances and among DJs. A well-deserved seventh place! Get them here at Thomann*.

5: beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro
The DT-990 Pro from Beyerdynamic secured fifth place among the best-selling studio headphones of 2025. Available in two versions, the 250-ohm model is the most popular but requires a decent headphone amplifier or powerful audio interface. The 80-ohm model is compatible with more devices.
