Welcome to Burlimonster’s Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+ (v3). Monster Storage is the most performant, reliable, and easy-to-use mega storage system that automatically sorts every single item in Minecraft. I’ve spent thousands of hours over the last ten years optimizing Minecraft storage tech. The Monster Storage world download is the result of building, rebuilding, optimizing, and perfecting various iterations throughout the years. My goal was to, eventually, make the download available to you. I’d encourage you to watch the video below to learn more about the Monster Storage System, check out the FAQ, and join the Discord.

Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+ Guide

In the information below, I’ll briefly explain what Monster Storage does and what you’ll need to do to get the most out of the world download. This is the Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+ because it has great performance (with the mods), excellent organization, and functionality that will help you automate everything in Minecraft. We’re now on version 3 of Monster Storage! In addition to the changes from version 2 (better performance, fewer hoppers, shulker box bulk storage, and an updated crafting level), this version includes a Copper Golem sorter for every non-stackable item in Minecraft!

Speaking of organization, I’d highly recommend that you check out the spreadsheet I put together as a supplement to the world download. In that sheet, I’ve included a full list of every color coded category (hallway) in Monster Storage. It also tells you where every item lives in the Monster Storage building. You could even use the spreadsheet as a reference to track your item acquisition progress. Select “File > Make a Copy” to duplicate it to your Google account. I’ve also updated the spreadsheet to include documentation for all the filter chests in the Copper Golem non-stackable item sorter. Watch the Copper Golem video if you haven’t already!

Note: if you want to use Monster Storage in older versions of Minecraft, it is possible, but requires additional work.

Monster Storage v3 Features

Besides the excellent performance when using Fabric mods, what makes Monster Storage the Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+ is the features and automation. Here are some of the highlights you can expect from the build:

• Automatic sorting for up to 1584 different items and an infinite item capacity with shulker box bulk storage.
• Pre-filters for shulker boxes and non-stackable items.
• Non-stackable item sorting and storage with the help of Copper Golems.
• Automatic shulker box unloading and loading.
• Extreme buffering for all input and transport lines.
• Overflow and loopback protection to prevent your items from despawning.
• Bypass levers for each item to allow for automatic crafting and shulker box bulk storage on the crafting level.

But this isn’t a one-and-done kind of build. Since I use this build on my Survival Multiplayer Server, I’ll keep it updated for all future Minecraft versions. I’ll fix anything that breaks, add new Minecraft items, post update videos to the YouTube channel, or livestream updates on Twitch. Any time you start a new Minecraft world, you can come back here and grab a fresh copy of the download for all the latest features. Keep in mind, once you download it and start using it, you can’t paste in a new version without losing items… unless you empty your storage first. However, if you keep up with my change videos, you should be able to manage the maintenance yourself.

Bedrock World Download

If you’re a Bedrock player, I need your help. If my YouTube channel hits 1,000 subscribers, I’ll invest the time to get the Monster Storage system functional in Bedrock. It will take a lot of effort, but I’m willing to do it if I see there’s enough interest. Go hit the subscribe button and share my channel with your friends!

Burly’s 1-Wide, Tileable, Interchangeable Automatic Crafter Download for Java + Bedrock

If you’re looking for more information about the crafting level in Monster Storage, that video is available on my YouTube channel. Help yourself to the world downloads for Java and Bedrock. In each of these, you’ll find various iterations of the automatic crafter designs I’ve been working on for the last 6 months. The Bedrock designs are labeled “Bedrock” in the world download. I’ll be adding more videos on how to use this with Monster Storage on my YouTube channel soon.

Burly’s Copper Golem Non-stackable Item Sorter

Burly’s Copper Golem Non-stackable Item Sorter is the new addition for version 3 of Monster Storage. It sorts the 365 obtainable non-stackable items (as of Java 1.21.11) by using an innovative Copper Golem design that you can find in the basement of Monster Storage. You can also download the schematics for this build if you’d like to use it separately from Monster Storage – or if you need to add it to your version 2 build. It’s modular!

For this build, Burly created a new chest layout and a new non-stackable Redstone filter chest design that will allow the Copper Golems to automatically sort every non-stackable item in the game efficiently and with very little impact to performance. Sadly, to do this, the Copper Golems are hidden within the design. That’s the price we have to pay. You’re more than welcome to download the schematic and adapt the design to your needs. But, you’ll definitely want to check out the spreadsheet to understand how all the filter chests work.

This part of the build is far more complicated than the previous Redstone functionality in Monster Storage, so please understand a few things before you use it. Copper Golems can’t sort non-stackable items at hopper speed. So don’t dump thousands of non-stackable items into the storage system at the same time. The same consideration should be made for dumping hundreds of the same non-stackable item into the system at once – don’t do it. Either of these scenarios could clog the Copper Golem sorter and break things. If you run into an issue, just reach out to Burly in the discord.

Recommended Performance Mods and Tools

In order to get the best performance out of Monster Storage, you need to install some performance mods. This build is massive and will make your computer cry (without these mods). I’m also including a couple utility mods to help you get the build running on your world. Here’s the list of mods I’ve compiled that I recommend when using this system. Since I exclusive play with the Fabric loader for the best performance, all of the mods listed here are for Fabric. Many are available for other mod loaders, but Fabric is what I personally recommend.

A note on Client vs. Server mods: some mods are Client-only and won’t have any benefit if they’re installed on a server. Some mods are made for Servers but will also benefit your performance if you’re playing in Minecraft in single player. In the list below: single players should install all (Client), (Server), and (Server/Client) mods. Multiplayer servers should install all (Server) and (Server/Client) mods. Multiplayer client instances that connect to an optimized multiplayer server should install all (Client) mods.

If you want to see what other mods, shaders, and tools I use for Minecraft, check out my full post on mods (WIP).

Helpful Operator (OP) Commands and Settings

So you’ve decided to download the Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+. Now, you’re wondering how to use it. I’m making the assumption that you already know how to create a new Minecraft instance and copy the world download into your Minecraft world. If not, check out this page. If you’re wanting to use Monster Storage on a server, you’ll have to use your own Google-Fu to figure that out. There are too many ways to host a Minecraft server for me to make a recommendation here. When using Monster Storage on a server, I highly recommend modifying this setting in your server.properties file to let Monster Storage sort when none of your players are online.

pause-when-empty-seconds=-1

You also need to make sure that the Monster Storage building is forceloaded with operator commands or has chunkloaders running so it continues to function when you’re exploring the world. To use the forceload command:

1. Look at the ground where you’re standing and type “/forceload add”
2. Press the tab key once to auto-populate the first chunk coordinate
3. Press the enter key
4. Go to the opposite corner of the build, look at the ground, press the up key once to recall the previous command
5. Press the tab key to auto-populate the second chunk coordinate
6. Press the enter key

The final command should look like this:

/forceload add “first chunk coordinate” “second chunk coordinate”

Litematica Schematic Instructions (Recommended)

Once you’ve downloaded the Litematica schematic, place it in your Litematica schematics folder which can be found here: Minecraft Instance > schematics. Load your world with the Litematica mod installed. You can use this schematic to build Monster Storage block-by-block or for pasting the build into your world.

But Wait!

If you want paste the whole build using Litematica (not the block-by-block method that Litematica is known for), it will not work with the default Litematica paste settings!

To paste everything correctly, you need to have the Servux mod installed, then open the Litematica settings. Under the Generic tab, you need to scroll down to “placeNbtRestoreBehavior” and set it to “Place & Data Modify.” I’ve included a screenshot of the Litematica settings for reference.

Once you have Servux installed, and that setting enabled, you can paste the build. If you are unfamiliar with how to paste full builds using Litematica, there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube that can show you how. Pasting the build without doing these two things will break it. Especially on servers. Join the discord if you have questions about pasting with Litematica.

WorldEdit Schematic Instructions (Less Reliable)

Once you’ve downloaded the WorldEdit schematic, place it in your WorldEdit schematic folder which can be found here: Minecraft Instance > config > worldedit > schematics. Load your world using Fabric and the Carpet / WorldEdit mods installed. Then, run this command to ensure the Redstone pastes properly with the schematic:

/carpet setDefault fillUpdates false

Warning! If you don’t run this command before pasting the schematic, the Redstone will break. Next, you can load the schematic into memory with this command:

//schem load “schematic name”

Then you need to position yourself about 20 blocks in the air where you want to paste the Monster Storage build and run this command:

//paste -e

If you don’t like where it ended up, WorldEdit has an easy undo command:

//undo

If you want to rotate the direction of the Monster Storage build, just run this command and try pasting it again. You can rotate 90, 180, or 270 degrees at a time.

//rotate 90 0 0

Once you’re satisfied with the placement of your Monster Storage building, set fillUpdates back to true with this carpet command:

/carpet setDefault fillUpdates true

Then you need to do the final Redstone checks. I do this in spectator mode so I can fly around the build quickly. But the main place to check is the shulker unloading room. Even with the Carpet mod settings correctly configured and using the correct paste command with WorldEdit, I have seen instances of the shulker unloaders being broken after the paste. It doesn’t happen every time, but it does happen. If you want a safer pasting method, use Litematica. Otherwise head to the shulker unloading room and read all the signs to make sure the Redstone is placed correctly. It’s also worth checking the Redstone signs for the pre-filters in the ingest room. Basic things you’ll want to check: rails, comparators, and Redstone (blocks/dust).

Using Monster Storage in Older Versions of Minecraft

Monster Storage will work on older versions of Minecraft, but you have to do some manual changes before trying to put items into the system. The main thing is that you can’t run the system on older versions until you find all the hopper filters with missing items. If you’re building it block-by-block, this doesn’t matter — you’ll have to add the hopper filter items in manually anyways.

As of Monster Storage version 3, the Copper Golem non-stackable sorter will not work without serious modifications to versions 1.21.8-10. Simply put: I would recommend that you update to version 1.21.11 instead of running an older version. Obviously, since Copper Golems didn’t exist in version prior to 1.21.8, the Copper Golem addon will not work in older versions. You can still use the rest of Monster Storage, but would need to substitute a non-stackable storage silo for the Copper Golem system.

Older versions also become an issue when you paste the build into a world (the cheating way) or when you downgrade the version of the Java World Download. Litematica and WorldEdit allow you to retain entities and items depending on how you paste the build (you can just paste the structure without the entities/items as well). On older versions, items that don’t exist yet will disappear from the hopper filters when pasted. This breaks the hopper filters for every chest silo with a newer item and that will ultimately break the hopper transport loop. If you put items into the system before fixing the hopper filters, they’ll just end up in the first empty filter’s silo and clog the system from there.

To fix this, you’d have to compare the latest version of Minecraft to whatever version you’re using, find the stackable items that have been added in the later updates, find them in the build (you can use the spreadsheet as reference), and add placeholder items to the hopper filters before putting items into the ingest chests. Once the missing items have been replaced by placeholder items, everything should work normally.

If you want to use this in versions before 1.21, you can… but the automatic crafting won’t work because those Redstone contraptions use copper bulbs and the crafter block (which were added in 1.21). The shulker loaders/unloaders should work several main versions back (I’m not sure how far).

Monster Storage Frequently Asked Questions

• Why does it sound like my items are burning in lava?

  • Sadly, Minecraft uses the same sound for items burning in lava as Redstone torches burning out. Since the ingest chests use a custom, double Redstone torch burnout glitch dropper system for faster item transportation, that’s the sound you’re hearing… not lava.

• Why do the subtitles say “Dispenser Failed”?

  • Well, it’s wrong. They’re droppers, and they’re not failing. The Redstone for the input chests actually fire four droppers at the same time on the same circuit. This is for speed and space efficiency. If any of the four droppers try to drop without an item to drop, the subtitles will show this.

• Do I need chunkloaders?

  • Yes, unless you forceload the chunks of the sorting system. Ultimately, the system is too large to keep everything loaded unless you’re standing in the middle of the build at all times. So it’s best to keep the chunks loaded. Do you need a perimeter? No. But it wouldn’t hurt to light up the caves under the build to reduce lag.

• Why do I need chunkloaders?

  • So the storage system can sort while you’re not in it – and so your items don’t despawn. Monster storage uses water and hopper transportation lines. In general, items shouldn’t despawn in either type of transportation line, but I wouldn’t trust my netherite to that. So it’s best to keep the chunks loaded.

• Do I have to use Fabric/Mods?

  • Nope. Some of the performance mods are compatible with forge/neoforge/quilt, but Fabric+Modrinth has been my go-to loader/launcher for many years. I prefer it, but there’s no real restriction outside of personal preference. You can use Monster Storage with vanilla Minecraft if that’s your preference. The performance will suffer. I have no affiliation with Fabric, Modrinth, or any of the mod developers.

• Are the vault doors necessary for each hallway?

  • If you’re building it yourself, you certainly don’t need to include the vault doors. It only makes a small difference with entity culling and visible chests. So they can be skipped or removed if you’d prefer to go without them.

• Where is the building in the world download?

  • The coordinates are 1690, 63, -1343.

• I broke the Copper Golem non-stackable sorter, what do I do?

  • Everything is documented in the spreadsheet. It’s best to remove the top hopper directly below each filter chest before you fix the filter chests. The spreadsheet has the default Redstone signal values and layouts for each filter chest. Replicate that and then replace the hoppers. Test and check.

• Can I customize the Copper Golem non-stackable sorter?

  • Sure, but you really need to understand MIS (multi-item sorting) to do that. Burly will eventually have a tutorial on the MIS concepts included in the Copper Golem sorter. It’ll be linked here when it’s finished.

• When is the Bedrock version coming?

  • Soon… I hope? It’s the 1,000 sub goal for the YouTube channel. Once that happens, I’ll do what I can to make this work with Bedrock. Item transportation is harder on Bedrock because water lines don’t work the same as Java. The hopper filters should be fine, but the crafting/shulker loading and unloading may be different (or not there at all) due to Bedrock Redstone limitations. It’s not necessarily a simple transition.

Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+ Conclusion

So, that’s Monster Storage — the Best Minecraft Mega Storage World Download for 1.21.11+. I will keep the world download updated if anything breaks in future Minecraft updates. If Minecraft adds new items to the game, I’d recommend using the spreadsheet to help with the additions. Now’s a great time to get your storage system figured out, especially since Minecraft adds new items with almost every update. If you have any questions, hit up Burly in the Discord.

Welcome to Monstercraft’s Minecraft Best Gear Enchantments guide for the 1.21.5 update. Here we’ll cover all the best gear enchantments for your armor, weapons, and tools. Becoming the most powerful player in the world can be very expensive. Firstly, you’ll need to gather lots of wood, diamonds, and ancient debris to make your gear. Secondly, you’ll need enough experience to enchant all of it. Before we dive into the specific enchantments, let’s talk about the easiest way to acquire and enchant your gear.

Villager breeding and trading is the best source of gear in the game. As you’re breeding villagers, you can train the adults to learn various professions. If you train enough villagers, you can create a villager trading hall like you’ll see in the pictures below. The Monstercraft server has enough trained villagers to acquire every piece of gear, all the enchantment books, and bottles o’ enchanting we need.

Alternatively, you can take your chances killing mobs and using the enchanting table, but the villager method is far more efficient. If you’re just starting out in the game, we highly recommend fishing and using the grindstone to disenchant gear you don’t want to earn experience. Don’t earn too much at a time, though. The xp points needed to earn levels increase exponentially. Unless you need a level 30 enchantment, it’s more effective to enchant items when you’re between 10 and 20.

Monstercraft’s Minecraft Best Gear Enchantments Guide

In the lists below, you’ll find our optimized list of Minecraft best gear enchantments. You’ll notice that we don’t use every enchantment in the game. Why? Because some of the enchantments are very situational. For example, Bane of Arthropods does extra damage to certain mobs (spiders, cave spiders, silverfish, endermites, and bees), but nothing else. So, it’s arguably better to use Fire Aspect II instead of Bane of Arthropods because it will do more damage to more mobs.

Similarly, the concept applies to tools like your pickaxe and the Silk Touch versus Fortune III enchantments. It’s better to use Silk Touch while you’re exploring. However, you should use Fortune III at your base when you’re ready to break blocks into their raw materials. We spent a lot of time making sure our gear is the best in the game. But, you’ll still want a few extra pieces of gear at your base. Let’s get to it!

Best Minecraft Armor Enchantments

• Helmet – your helmet can have up to six enchantments.

Minecraft Best Gear Enchantments Conclusion

So, that’s our Minecraft best gear enchantments guide for the 1.21.5 update. You probably won’t be able to make all this gear at once (unless you have a villager trading hall). Instead, you can make the pieces gradually as you acquire the materials. We definitely recommend putting mending on everything so you don’t have to keep making new gear. In the near future, we’ll have more guides that teach you how to earn xp, repair your gear, farm mobs, and more! For now, if you have any questions, hit up Burly on his socials. He’s happy to help.

Sony just released the newest version of their wireless active noise canceling headphones. In this video, we give you our Sony WH-1000XM3 unboxing first impressions. Ultimately, this is a call to action for our viewers and readers. We’re currently testing the WH-1000XM3 and would love your feeback. What questions do you have about the Sony WH-1000XM3? Please leave a comment here or on our YouTube video and we’ll answer your questions in our full review. If you haven’t seen our full wireless ANC headphones shootout, please check it out here.

Our Sony WH-1000XM3 unboxing first impressions: it’s not tremendously different than the previous generation (WH-1000XM2). They did add a few things that may be worth the upgrade — USB-C, quick charging, better soundstage, better noise cancelation. They completely missed on other standard features — can’t use while charging, no multi-device connectivity, terrible call quality.

Lastly, we disassembled the headband to find out if they made improvements to it. We didn’t include this in our Sony WH-1000XM3 unboxing first impressions video, but we’ll discuss this at length in our final review of these headphones. They’ve completely redesigned the headband to eliminate the cracking that affected the first two generations of these headphones. The plastic fits together better and the hinge/socket is reinforced to prevent cracking. We know a lot of people want to know more about this, so we’ll be demonstrating the headband improvements in our full review video.

Again, please let us know if you have any questions about our Sony WH-1000XM3 unboxing first impressions video. If you want to find out something specific from our full review, please let us know in the comments. We’ll do our best to answer your questions in the comments and in the video review. If you decide to pick up a pair of these headphones for yourself, please considering purchasing them through our Amazon link here.

We’re obsessed with headphones. We could be audiophiles, but that obsession is too expensive to maintain. We stick with gear that costs a lot less money. Since headphone jacks are beginning to disappear en masse, we decided to begin our look for the best active noise canceling headphones with Bluetooth and analog connectivity. Bluetooth isn’t as good as hard-wired; with some of the advancements in Bluetooth profiles, that gap gets smaller every year. For 2018, we’ve settled on the three most popular headsets (Bose, Sony, and Sennheiser) and included them in our best active noise canceling headphones competition. Check out the video review embedded below for all the information you’ll need. We’ll have written reviews for each pair of headphones to supplement this video shortly. We’re also working on an awesome product comparison tool that we hope to have available soon.

Best Active Noise Canceling Headphones of 2018

Ultimately, there is no perfect pair of ANC headphones, but the best active noise canceling headphones of 2018 is the Sennheiser PXC 550. We wish we could find a pair of headphones that includes the best features from each device, but that doesn’t exist yet. Even if you move past the $400 price point, you’ll find headphones that just don’t compare to the features of our top pick. As I mentioned earlier, we’ll have more written content about these headphones later. Until then, please enjoy our best active noise canceling headphones video.

As with all our recommendations, we hope our best active noise canceling headphones pick works well for you. We’re open to feedback and product suggestions from our readers. If you’ve used something else you think is better than our main pick, please let us know in the comments or via the email link in the sidebar. We’ll check out any new items and replace our main pick if something better comes along. Until that time, we believe that the Sennheiser PXC 550 are the best active noise canceling headphones for most people.

Best Active Noise Canceling Headphones Competition

• Sennheiser PXC 550 – The winner of our competition because of its comfort, sound quality, and overall functionality.
• Bose QC35 II – Bose has a tendency to tell you what you want instead of letting you choose your options. Many people love these headphones, but their lack of features knocked them out of this competition.
• Sony WH-1000xm2 – These Sony headphones actually put of the best fight against our main pick, but they weren’t as comfortable as our main pick and left of several features that we considered deal-breakers.
• Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 – While it may look like they have a long list of great features, none of them work very well. The fit is terrible too.
• Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC – We wish these shared some of the same technology as the Sennheiser PXC 550, but they don’t. It’s just a mediocre pair of Bluetooth headphones that claim to be good.

Sean Caspian and I locked ourselves into the newly-built eciov studio last weekend and produced this quick parody for all the Elder Scrolls Online fans in the crowd. We called it “ESO, ESO, ESO” because it’s a parody of the classic song “Let it Snow.” He came up with the idea, and we brought it to life together. Take a two-minute break from your day and watch the festive gaming video now.

The making of “ESO, ESO, ESO”

I wrote the musical arrangement and lyrics then recorded the instruments and vocals here in the studio. Once I was done, Sean Caspian came over and tossed his vocals onto the track. After finishing the audio portion, we spent some time figuring out what we were doing with the video. Since this was for his YouTube channel, we needed it to be fun and high quality.

We decided to take shots of high-resolution, in-game footage that matched the lyrics I wrote for the parody. In between shots, we would cut to us singing the lyrics of “ESO, ESO, ESO.” We booted up my epic gaming rig that I use for our streaming videos and used XSplit to capture the in-game footage. We recorded a few festive shots like snowfall in Windhelm, a fireplace at the inn, and bedrooms for our green screen backgrounds. We think they turned out pretty sweet.

After capturing all that footage, we sat in front of the green screen and sang the lyrics to “ESO, ESO, ESO.” We asked a third person to show up, but they couldn’t make it to the studio session. So, I ended up playing our third person while wearing a time-appropriate mask. You’ll have to watch the video to see it. After that, I gave all the footage and audio to Sean Caspian to have him work his editing magic. You’re a wizard, Sean.

That, ladies and gents, is how we ended up with the “ESO, ESO, ESO” parody of “Let it Snow.” It was a fun project that we’d love to see turn into future work. If you live in Denver and have use for the eciov studio for your project, please head over to the Drift Management website. We’ll set you up with a date and time from there. We can help with the video production, the creative, or just let you use your own equipment in our soundproof, acoustically-treated studio space.

My wife and I spent our 8th wedding anniversary listening to Ben Folds play a concert with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. I’m a music nerd; the only thing that could’ve made this better for me would be playing with Ben on stage. That didn’t happen, but I really wish it did. Maybe next time, Mr. Folds. Seeing Ben Folds Live at Red Rocks was a dream come true for most of the people there. Seeing him perform with an orchestra took it to a completely new level. This isn’t a concert review; you can’t critique Mr. Folds. He is the maestro of all maestros and is more knowledgeable in music than anyone I can name. So, instead of reviewing his show, I recorded a short video for our readers. No pictures this time – I wasn’t working on my anniversary.

Ben Folds Live at Red Rocks – Rock This Bitch – June 21, 2015

Some of you won’t recognize the song, Rock This Bitch, from his albums. He only performs this song at his live concerts. You can find it on his 2002 album, Ben Folds Live… but what you hear there won’t be the same as what you see in the video. What you see in the video won’t be the same as what you see live anywhere else. He makes something up every time he plays it. Sometimes the spontaneous riffs become the foundations of a new song. Sometimes he just throws it all away. What’s unique about this video? It’s Ben Folds Live at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Instead of just pounding something out on the piano, he decided to use the orchestra. All of it. He builds his song section by section and totally rocks that bitch.

Was it the best rendition of Rock This Bitch in history? That’s not for me to say. I will say that seeing Ben Folds live at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra was certainly the coolest Rock This Bitch in recent memory. Watch it, be amazed, and enjoy it.

Original Article

After a lot of research, screw turning, and soldering, I’m excited to share the Sony MDR-7506 iPhone mod with you. Let’s back up a little bit to explain why I made these headphones iPhone-compatible. To me, “Beats” is a bad word. Dr. Dre wants you to believe that a bass-heavy mix is the best way to hear “all” of your music. As a semi-pro a/v engineer, I have to tell you that he’s so incredibly wrong. When listening to music, the “correct” sound is the sound the artist originally intended. During production, a great artist puts their very essence into the audio mix. To hear that passion, you don’t want to modify the mix with expensive cans that blaspheme the original sound… right? Unfortunately, Dre’s marketing team sings so much praise for the product that they push all artistic and engineering criticism into the background. The company’s branding is brilliant. The proof is in the Apple buyout. I sincerely hope that Apple creates a less blasphemous set of cans at some point in the future. If you like your Beats, don’t feel bad — the market shows you’re not alone — you’re just listening to something completely different from what the artist intended. That’s not how I want to listen to music. If you agree with me, you should try our Sony MDR-7506 iPhone mod. Here’s a quick video we produced that shows the process:

Why should you modify the Sony MDR-7506 instead of buying other iPhone-compatible headphones? Simply put: this mod takes professional recording studio headphones and turns them into a great iPhone listening experience without emptying your bank account. These aren’t expensive cans. Nothing else in the sub-$100 price range offers the clarity and definition of these headphones. In fact, you’d have to switch to the open-back category and spend another $200+ to find a better sounding pair of cans. Open-back headphones don’t offer any isolation, so they’re not ideal for mobility. At $80 or less, the 7506 are perfect for this project. With a $30 iPhone cable, $5 in parts, and a little DIY knowledge, you’ll have the best iPhone-compatible headphones under $120. It’s such a great deal.

I keep calling these the best iPhone-compatible headphones, but what does that really mean? Is the Sony MDR-7506 iPhone mod iPhone-only? Can they work with Android? Let’s start with the features this mod adds to the 7506: a microphone, volume buttons, a play/pause button, and Siri compatibility. That’s everything an iPhone user needs from a pair of headphones. This mod adds all of that with a single, detachable cable. For the iPhone, we’re using the Beats RemoteTalk Cable. Eww, I said Beats, right? Actually, we haven’t found a better cable for the iPhone at this point. It’s robust, has all the features we need, and will be around for a very long time thanks to the Apple buyout. The iPhone cable does not work with Android. You’ll have to find an Android-compatible cable for that. We would’ve recommended the Beats Android cable, but Apple discontinued it. Shocker. There are Android apps that let you define button presses on the Apple-only cables, but your mileage may vary. If anyone finds an actual Android-compatible cable that works with our Sony MDR-7506 iPhone mod, please let us know.

Take a look at each picture below. We made sure to take a picture of every step to make this as easy as possible. Even still, you cannot hold us responsible for any damage you cause to your headphones. If you follow the steps properly and have everything ready to go, you can expect this process to take less than an hour.

There were plenty of challenges for this mod in the beginning, but I suffered through all of that for you. As it stands, we feel comfortable placing the difficulty of the Sony MDR-7506 iPhone mod at 6/10. It’s not for a beginner, but it’s doable for many people.

I completed the Sony MDR-7506 iPhone mod a few weeks ago. It’s been awesome using these headphones since then. Personally, I would call these modified cans the “best over-ear iPhone-compatible headphones.” Since it’s technically a mod, I’m not saying that specifically… even though it’s true. There are plenty of iPhone-compatible ear buds, but they’re all terrible sound quality — to my ears. Sound is purely subjective; you will always like something different from me (however slight). That’s why I like the 7506 so much. They don’t try to modify the sound of the source to fit any particular taste; they just portray the source as intended. They’re glorious to my ears.
