Do 7506s really have a bass hump? Or are they actually just flatter at the low 
end than is normal? Maybe it works out the same to our ears.

I got them because they:
- were available for demo
- were cheaper than some alternatives
- fitted my ears
- reputation for good isolation for the price
- lots of people seem to use them

I could barely tell the difference between the pairs I tried, so I went on 
price and what other people thought of them.
