Sony MDR-M1 - Professional Closed Reference Headphones

These are absolutely fantastic headphones for enjoying music. No frills. No special tube amps, silver cables, or $1000+ stacks. No custom PEQ. No FR graphs or Harmon targets. Literally just plug them in and enjoy. I own several Sennheiser, Fiio, Audeze, and HiFiman headphones that are $1000+ and "audiophile grade". I am quite familiar with expensive and high quality headphones and amps... And I also know that once you hit a certain price range, headphones are not "better" - they just come in different flavors that fit your preference or genre of music they sound best for. These Sony MDR-M1 headphones are simply phenomenal. Sure, they don't have the MOST bass I've ever heard, but they have PLENTY (of both Sub Bass and mid Bass). Midrange is clear and balanced in the mix without sounding shouty, and Treble is clear and well represented but not peaky or offensive. Sony has absolutely NAILED IT making a one-size-fits-all, ultra-light, ultra-comfortable headphone. EVERY genre of music sounds fantastic on these. They are a jack of all trades. I would say that literally everything is 8.5/10, which is damn good for being so cheap and comfortable for all-day use. AND they fold flat for easy traveling in a slim hard case! What more could you ask for!!? If you want great closed-back headphones for lounging, chilling, or wearing at work (without looking like a helicopter pilot), these are going to be hard to beat. If you want to get the best out of them, spend the extra $20 on a USBC-3.5MM DAC/AMP with the X31993 & MAX97220 combo (you can find these by searching those chip models). They are super cheap and simple but make a HUGE difference compared to basic usbc-3.5mm adapters, including apple's. I also replaced my ear pads with Soulwit Cooling Gel pads and they sound great and are much more comfortable (I have big ears). But this was not essential. Don't listen to the nay-sayers and old people complaining that these aren't as good as the MDR-7506. These are fantastic headphones that everyone should buy.

Phone Sony de alta Qualidade sonora Capta bem as frequências. Tem boa flexibilidade é confortável Aguenta bem um áudio em bom volume alto com equalização pesada de médios graves e agudos.

値段は国内仕様よりも高価だったが、値段なりのすばらしい商品でした。私の身近ではここでしか購入できない商品でしたので、その機会があることそのものは所有欲が満たされてとても良かったです。

Me parecen unos audífonos increíbles, algo caros, recomiendo comprarlos en descuento para que valgan más la pena. Los uso como segunda referencia de mezcla junto a mis Neumann NDH 30, dan una buena referencia de tú música de como sonaría en audífonos cerrados. Son muy cómodos, para escucha en tu día son perfectos. Si vas a decidir usarlos como audífonos de diario debes comprar un DAC si o si, esto para sacarles el jugo al máximo, si usas un dongle o entrada jack tradicional, puede que se queden cortos (obvio, son audifonos de grado profesional, esto pasa debido a su impedancia)

note that i picked up this headphone for a somewhat challenging task- can i find a headphone which accurately represents delicate instruments like acoustic guitar / harp ,without weird EQ and without sounding exaggerated? this is quite difficult, btw - most HP tend to show their weakness in this area , they are usually not able to recreate the delicate transient string attack of acoustic guitars without harshness or without sounding somewhat dull and uninspiring. these HP are a surprising winner in this category ! i even tried it for recording my high end acoustic guitars with an earthworks mic and these HP are surprisingly good for studio tracking - the mic'd sound in your HP is ~same as your real guitar(!) overall, there is nothing in these HP which are exaggerated and the sound is quite natural when listening to all kinds of music - i used lossless tidal and an RME fireface interface. even banging club songs from the chainsmokers come out quite nicely , the big bass was very clear without being too boomy. having said that, these HP have a slightly laid-back attack/transients in the mids. so they may not be best if u are expecting bangers. but this also means ear fatigue is less. the hp dont look remarkable, simple and functional all-black , included are cables of 2 different lengths which is cool. time will tell how long these will last and then i can comment on build quality. lastly, i got these at a "discounted" price of Rs 18k, which is absolutely perfect for the sound quality. but no way i'd pay the full MRP of 40k for them.
