Sony India today introduced the MDR-M1 Reference Closed Monitor Headphones, designed for music creators, audiophiles, and sound engineers who need to produce music in various environments while retaining the intended sound quality. The MDR-M1 headphones feature a closed acoustic design that ensures high sound isolation while providing a lightweight and comfortable fit. This structure allows users to work as if they were in a professional studio, offering studio-quality sound suitable for various music production and high-resolution audio tasks.
Designed specifically for studio use, the
closed acoustic structure enhances sound isolation, enabling precise monitoring
essential for accurate mixing and mastering by eliminating background noise and
maintaining sound integrity.
Additionally, the ergonomically designed
build reduces ear fatigue during extended use, allowing audio professionals to
focus on their work without distraction. The headphones are durable and come
with two detachable cable lengths (6.3mm and 3.5mm) and easily replaceable
earpads. The MDR-M1 headphones utilize a specially developed driver unit that
achieves ultra-wideband playback from 5Hz to 80kHz. This driver features a soft
edge for powerful low frequencies with minimal distortion and a hard dome shape
for accurate ultra-high frequency reproduction.
Their closed structure reduces ambient
noise and prevents sound leakage, making them ideal for detailed audio
monitoring and tuning. A tuned port, called Beat Response Control, enhances
diaphragm performance for improved bass response. Additionally, Sony
collaborated with renowned sound engineers, including Mike Piacentini and
Akihiro Nishimura, to ensure the headphones provide an authentic music
experience.
