Sony ⁤Launches MDR-M1 Closed-Back⁣ Reference Monitoring Headphones

Sony has launched the MDR-M1, closed-back⁢ reference ​monitoring headphones that⁢ reproduce ultra-wideband, high-resolution sound.

Optimized for Stereo Recording and Mixing

The MDR-M1 ‍is ⁢a reference headphone that can be used in all environments at all stages, including recording, mixing, and mastering of high-quality stereo sound⁢ sources. Sony’s studio monitoring headphones ‍MDR-7506 have been ‌the‍ standard in the industry⁣ for the past 30 years. However, as high-resolution audio became more common and‌ the demand for ⁢home studios to‌ produce their own high-quality audio increased, the need ⁢for new professional headphones that responded to ‍these ‌changes emerged.

Sealed Acoustic ⁤Structure and Excellent Sound​ Insulation

The MDR-M1 is ⁤a product optimized‍ for stereo‍ recording and mixing with a ⁣sealed acoustic structure‌ that suppresses two-way sound‌ leakage. Excellent​ sound insulation helps you fully immerse yourself in⁢ your work while recording or mixing without being ⁢disturbed by noise⁣ coming from the headphones. It ​provides a uniform monitoring environment as if you ⁤were in a studio anytime, anywhere, allowing music producers and sound engineers to produce ⁤and enjoy music exactly as intended.

Ultra-Wide Frequency Reproduction ⁢and High-Level Sound

The MDR-M1 boasts⁢ ultra-wide ⁢frequency reproduction performance of 5Hz to‍ 80kHz and high-level sound with minimal coloration through Sony’s proprietary HD driver unit and design ​through computer simulation. For ⁤professionals for​ whom the natural performance of monitoring headphones is important,⁣ recording and mixing⁤ are easy as even⁢ the slightest changes in sound ​are ⁢expressed in detail.

Ergonomic ‌Design and Improved Wearing Comfort

The driver⁤ unit has an ergonomic design that is positioned inside the ear cup to match the angle of the ear. The distance from all areas ⁢of the driver to the ear is constant, delivering sound‌ consistently and ‍providing ‌improved wearing comfort. In the case of closed-back headphones, the direction‌ of​ sound is often⁣ not transmitted ⁤properly, but ⁤the MDR-M1 is excellent at expressing distance and sense ⁢of localization for recorded sound.

Lightweight and ​Durable⁣ Design

The MDR-M1 ⁢minimizes the weight of​ the headphones to reduce the burden of working for long periods of time. Each part has been reduced in weight down ​to the 0.1g unit, and its light weight of approximately 216g ⁤allows it to be worn comfortably even when working for long ​periods of time. ⁢The⁢ moving parts and various⁤ parts of the headphones are durable enough⁤ to ⁢withstand professional work environments.

Convenient and Replaceable Ear⁤ Pads

The ear pads are designed to ⁤fit a variety of head shapes based ‍on Sony’s extensive head​ shape database,‍ and‌ are made of thick, ⁣low-elastic urethane foam material to provide⁢ less pressure and a​ softer fit. If it is‍ used for a long time, the user can replace it themselves, allowing comfortable⁤ and hygienic use at​ any time.

Detachable Cable​ and Multiple Connection‌ Options

The MDR-M1 ​comes with⁤ two ⁣lengths of headphone cable, 1.2m and 2.5m, so you can use it to suit your needs. ‌Additionally, the standard ⁤terminal 3.5mm stereo mini ⁢plug can be ‌connected to various equipment such ​as ⁢home studios, laptops, headphone amplifiers, etc., and the⁣ included 6.3mm‌ stereo standard plug‍ adapter ‍can be used in⁣ pro audio‌ devices and is connected with a​ screw⁤ lock to secure the cable.
