I bought Sony MDR MV1 yesterday here in Dubai and my experience has been freakishly good so far ! i have Hifiman Arya Stealth and Audeze LCD X. A, B comparison withy Arya is killing Arya so far! cant believe it honestly. Sony MRV1 sounds holographic to me compared to Arya which lacks depth may i dare to say, at least for my ears. i have tested on Hifiman EF400 and AudioQuest Dragon cobalt so far as these are the two amps i own. i must say i am really impressed and keep going back to the new Sony MRV1. tracks with 3D audio, jazz and instrumentals specially sound so real it freaked me out last night! do let it burn in for a few hours before you give it a try with open ears and open mind !

@@ChrisKeyman for me Sony MV1 sounded quite energetic specially upper mids. Sometimes I feel I have to tone down the volume on some tracks vs LCD X which is a bit dark in comparison. However given its weight and overall sound character I find more comfortable listening to Sonys. Arya on 2nd listening session sounded better compared to Sony to be honest. But overall Sony is not bad. And given its small form I am using it more often.

I’m definitely going to put the MV1s on my list for future headphones. I also love that early 90s aesthetic, and I wonder if considering its jack terminates to 4 poles at the headphones, the 4.4mm Pentacon balanced connector will work. I used to own an MA-900, and the comfort and soundstage were exquisite. I still kick myself for selling it. There are a few other v-shaped open backs, like the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250, Philips Fidelio X2HR, and Sennheiser HD660S2, but that is a fairly uncommon sound signature for an open back.

Nice, though unsurprisingly pricey. On the closed-back side, Sony's MDR-1AM2 (bought on sale) is my go-to for a lightweight, easy-to-drive, dynamic, fun-sounding headphone; especially when traveling. Aside from the rich sound output, I particularly like that it comes with a balanced single-entry cable (albeit short) and the deceptively roomy earpads that my ears tuck into... a very clever design, IMO. The cups swivel inwardly, unlike the MV1, so you can rest them around your neck when not using them. Overall a solid, underrated value pick in the on-the-go HP arena, IMO.

So many reviewers don't get that these headphones are not really for sitting in a chair and listening in Stereo to some Jazz track etc. These are designed for studio use and even more so for spatial mixing of audio. I wish reviewers would listen more to Sony 360 and Atmos recording and movies/TV shows and gaming with these particular cans. They are made to be able to pinpoint sound in a 360 degree field They are also designed to be capture the sound of you actual speaker and studio speakers and recreate them in the headphones using mic recording in your ears. I want to hear how they sound watching a movie with Atmos or Dolby Digital 5.1/7.1 audio. Hearing how it can place audio behind you and in sound stage. THAT is what thee headphones might be the killer of other headphones. Same for gaming. Most reviewers only think of Stereo and music. And that would be like kneecapping a product that is not really designed for it.

If I was looking for a TOTL headphone I would have stuck with the Arya Organic, but for the same price I picked up the MV1 for at my desk at home and used Sony IER-M9 for more critical listening.

That is NOT a portable listening experience headphone, it is a studio mixing headphone, hence the long-ass cable it has, you should have gone for a wireless bluetooth stuff mate. sorry but stupid comments that do not add up to a profesional review killed the whole review for me, cheers mate.

Do you think Sony is going to release a closed back version in the near future?
@SuperReview Жыл бұрын
Sony MDR-M1ST is probably the closed-back version of this, but I haven't heard it and don't know what the sound signature is.

MDR-Z7M2's are the best made most comfortable Headphones I've owned if they offer an open version that are built as well then im in . These just look cheap but overpriced
@SuperReview Жыл бұрын
Z7M2 definitely feels premium in a way this doesn't. But does weigh almost twice as much, so there are tradeoffs.

My baseline kill/death ratio is set iPhone speakers, in PUBG it's 1.2:1. With M50x, no change, still 1.2:1. With MV1, goes up to 2:1.

Surprised it didn't come with a 4.4 pentaconn cable as well. Sony is notorious for offering that cable with almost all their high end headphones. But then again, these are "studio grade" and not "consumer headphones" so I can understand why they didn't. Most studios dont even have a way to plug in a 4.4 pentaconn cable. NONE of Sony's headphones are V shaped in terms of studio/high end. Not one. The issue is you are used to shit headphone brands that are touted as being "the best" when they aren't. I currently run the Z7M2's with beyerdynamic velour pads and a new twisted cable because my old one broke and might as well waste $200 on a cable. Before and after the mods the headphones were never V shaped. YES with velour pads the top end is sharper because "pads effect sound to your ears" even if people don't admit it. Its even measurable. But definitely not V shaped. YOUR ISSUE is that you are used to headphones with insane roll off on the low end. Because most "audiophile" headphones are just designed for people who don't like "natural bass" so when you hear natural bass, you assume "bloated" bass and cry "V shape" when its not. MORE THAN LIKELY, these headphones are what bass SHOULD sound like. I bought the HD660s2's from Sennheiser and holy shit are they bad. YES, they have more bass than typical Sennheiser open back headphones. the biggest killer of bass for headphones is open back. so its usually common to have bad bass and extreme roll off, as my point above. the 660s2's happen to have bass, but due to the driver and overall design, they wont go as loud as my sony Z7M2's.... like not even close. the Sennheisers will begin to distort mechanically due to the bass being bloated and the open back design/driver design unable to handle it. the 660s2's are great for someone who likes quiet or moderate listening levels but for anyone that likes to crank, dogshit. which brings me to these sony's, i dont own them. so I don't know. but being open back, they will most likely suffer. EXCEPT sony's product page specifically states it can handle 1500mw which means 1.5w of power. that's kinda insane loudness wise. I haven't measured the output of my FiiO K9 PRO ESS dac/amp with gain setting 2, but they get pretty loud. and as I said, sennheisers can't handle it, but my sony's can. and it seem like these sony's, might handle it too. so im curious if they can actually handle 1.5w of power as claimed.

Wow, I thought the Sony Defense Force was just a video game nerd thing. V-shape is not an insult, it's just got more bass and treble emphasis than what's commonly described as neutral. If you think more-bass-and-treble-than-what's-commonly-described-as-neutral is in fact neutral, congrats, you have a definition that works for one person. And if you're listening at volume levels that distort a 660S, the Fletcher-Munson theory would suggest you're hearing even more bass and treble than a person who's not destroying their hearing. You like bass and treble, no shame in that.

@@SuperReview its not being defensive its factual. Every single REAL headphone review showing frequency response proves what i said is factually true. The v shape you refer to doesnt exist in most of sonys audiophile grade headphones. There is a Korean review of these new MV1s, and they arent v shape at all. Proof positive. The bass is flat and doesnt roll off as fast as your shitty "non v" headphones. Which you mistake for V shaped when really its flatter than the crap you prefer. Not fault youre ignorant and shouldnt be reviewing headphones. You are just used to shit headphones where there is so much bass roll off that the bass is virtually non existent. We get it, you have old man ears. Doesnt make you right for preferring less bass than true neutral
