This isn’t really much of a review . . . just a quick note on how to improve your aging headphones.
I’ve had a couple of Sony MDR-7506 industry-standard headphones for over a decade now. One pair I use more regularly than the other, and they’re starting to show some wear and tear on the earpads. I was getting black flaky vinyl crap on my ears and shoulders and they are coming apart at the seams.
To help extend the life of these headphones for a few more years, I picked up a set of Garfield Headphone Softie Earpad Covers from B&H a couple of weeks ago. For $17, they made my decade-old go-to headphones like new again.
There are loads of options for replacement earpads on these headphones. I like the price and comfort of the Garfield Softies. They may even be better than new because my face/ears don’t sweat where the earpads make contact as I did with the original vinyl earpads. Maybe I should have gotten some of these covers sooner…?
Adding the earpad covers to the Sony MDR-7506s is done by simply sliding the covers over the existing earpads. It takes a few seconds and then you’ve got nice, comfortable headphones again.
Again, these are $17 and can be found in several colors here at B&H Photo.
A few months back, I reviewed the Canon EOS R. While it’s not the perfect mirrorless camera, it is a great first outing for Canon. In the shadow of the EOS R, we’re now looking at the more budget-friendly Canon EOS RP. [Read more…]

The new Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K is now in stock and shipping. I’m actually surprised to see this happen with a Blackmagic camera. They usually fall well behind demand during the initial launch window. But, right now, the new 6K pocket camera is shipping immediately and the early user reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
B&H has the Nikon Coolpix P900 for $496.95 (reg. $596.95) along with a free SanDisk Extreme 32GB memory card and camera bag. The P900 is a very popular superzoom camera with a 35mm-equivalent zoom range of 24-2000mm. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
The deal is also available at the same price at Amazon.com, albeit without the free memory card and camera bag.
