Sony India has unveiled the MDR-M1 Reference Closed Monitor Headphones, designed to empower music creators, audiophiles, and sound engineers to produce music in any environment, ensuring the final output aligns perfectly with their vision. The headphones boast a closed acoustic structure with high sound isolation, an exclusively developed driver, and a lightweight and comfortable design.
These features allow users to create music in their preferred settings, whether at home or on the go, with the same level of precision as in a professional studio. The MDR-M1 headphones seamlessly blend studio sound quality with exceptional comfort and reliability, catering to a wide array of music production and high-resolution audio applications.
1. Delivers precise, high-fidelity audio across all frequencies with 360-degree spatial sound
The MDR-M1 headphones offer studio sound quality with a meticulously tuned acoustic structure, accommodating a diverse range of music production needs while supporting high-resolution audio. At the heart of their exceptional sound quality lies a uniquely developed driver unit that achieves ultra-wideband playback (5Hz – 80kHz), combining a soft edge shape for reproducing low frequencies with ample volume and minimal distortion, and a hard dome shape for accurately reproducing ultra-high frequencies.
The closed acoustic structure effectively eliminates ambient noise and sound leakage, making these headphones suitable for various production processes, enabling every note to be meticulously tuned and monitored for accuracy and authenticity. A tuned port (Beat Response Control) functions as a ventilation hole to control low frequencies, optimizing diaphragm operation for improved low-frequency transient characteristics and accurate sound reproduction with a tight bass response.
2. Developed with top sound engineers for optimal accuracy
Sony is committed to creating products that enhance both content creation and listening experiences for professionals and consumers alike. The MDR-M1 headphones were developed in collaboration with leading sound engineers, including Mastering Engineer of Battery Studios, Mike Piacentini, and Recording and Mixing Engineer of Power Station at Berklee NYC, Akihiro Nishimura, ensuring an authentic and enriching music experience.
3. Isolates ambient noise and prevents sound leakage
The MDR-M1 Monitor Headphones feature a closed acoustic structure specifically designed for studio use. This design minimizes ambient noise and prevents sound leakage, allowing audio professionals to concentrate on precise sound monitoring without external distractions. The closed structure enhances isolation, ensuring that every detail in the audio mix is heard clearly, which is crucial for accurate mixing and mastering. By eliminating background noise and maintaining sound integrity, the MDR-M1 provides an environment akin to a professional studio setting, making it an ideal tool for meticulous audio work in any location.
4. Ensures comfort during extended mixing and mastering sessions
The MDR-M1 headphones boast a meticulously engineered lightweight design that enhances user comfort during extended use. By incorporating advanced materials and innovative design techniques, Sony has ensured that the MDR-M1 remains comfortable and stable, even during long mixing and mastering sessions. The ergonomic design, combined with thick, low-resilience padding, provides a snug fit that minimizes ear fatigue and maximizes isolation. This thoughtful approach to design allows audio professionals to focus on their work without distraction, making the MDR-M1 an ideal choice for those demanding both comfort and performance in their audio equipment.
5. Available with two detachable cables (6.3mm and 3.5mm) for professional use
MDR-M1 headphones are built for years of dependable use and come with two detachable cables (6.3mm and 3.5mm) and easy-to-replace earpads.
