One of them is the Sony MDR-MV1, which are studio master headphones developed for mixing and mastering audio professionally. Wired headphones have seen a resurgence recently and a variety of them have been launched.
Design
One of the first things you will discover about the Sony MDR-MV1 is that they are extremely comfortable. Since they are designed for the mixing space, they have to be worn for hours. Therefore, Sony has used breathable and soft earpads and the light clamping force means you can wear them for hours comfortably. You do not have to worry about them slipping off your head.
The headband also feels plush and nice and you can use the slider to adjust the fit. The open-backed design of the MV1 lets sound in and out both. There is a transparent mesh on the outer part of the earcup to make it happen. There is a detachable cable and you will also get a 3.5mm mini jack adapter and a 6.3mm plug. You do not get a pouch or case.
Specification
According to Sony, the MV1 come with a frequency response from 5Hz to 80kHz. While human ears may not be able to hear it, you will certainly be able to ‘feel’ it. Thanks to the wide frequency range, the headphones are capable of catering to the Hi-Res Audio standards.
Sony’s HD drivers deliver a performance that keeps distortion to a minimum. According to the company, this is because of the corrugation design and the diaphragm shape. You can also enjoy high volumes because the headphones have a 100dB sensitivity, which means they can get quite loud. As for impedance, it is at 24ohms, which makes it quite low. Thus, you will find them very easy to drive, whether you are using your smartphone, or laptop.
Sound Quality
Sony has said that these headphones offer a neutral sound profile. This means that they neither offer a lot of color and warmth in the sound and nor do they deliver a lean and crisp sound. Neutral here means that the sound remains balanced, regardless of frequency. Even though they are open-backed, the MDR-MV1 are able to deliver a solid bass performance.
They have the power and punch you would usually expect from a closed-back design. You will find that the headphones are quite detailed and smooth in terms of sound. They may not be very sharp, but they offer an excellent sense of clarity most of the time. The spacious and wide soundstage is also highly appealing and they just don’t feel like open-backed headphones.
The MDR-MV1 focus on voices, so these headphones are a good option if you do any transcribing. Even in terms of music, you will find that the headphones offer an expensive and fluid sound, especially if the quality is good.
The Verdict
If there needs to be one reason for you to buy the Sony MDR-MV1 headphones, you should do it for their musical and fun sound. They have a smooth and clear performance and can work for different music genres.
