October 4, 2024 0 By Rowena Cletus

Sony has launched the MDR-M1 Reference Closed Monitor Headphones, designed specifically for music creators and sound engineers to deliver precise, high-quality audio in any environment. These headphones offer a closed acoustic structure, high sound isolation, and a specially developed driver unit, ensuring an accurate and immersive listening experience for professional use.

Key Features:

  • Studio-Quality Sound: The MDR-M1 headphones feature a custom driver unit that provides ultra-wideband playback (5Hz – 80kHz), delivering clear, distortion-free audio across all frequencies. The closed design helps reduce ambient noise and sound leakage, making them ideal for various production tasks.
  • Enhanced Bass Response: A tuned port (Beat Response Control) optimizes low-frequency performance, ensuring tight and accurate bass reproduction for a more precise audio experience.
  • Comfortable for Long Sessions: Designed for extended use, the MDR-M1 features thick, low-resilience ear padding for an airtight seal and exceptional comfort, even during long mixing or mastering sessions.
  • Professional Collaboration: Developed in collaboration with top sound engineers like Mike Piacentini of Battery Studios and Akihiro Nishimura of Power Station at Berklee NYC, the MDR-M1 ensures an authentic and reliable reference point for audio professionals.
  • Versatile Cables: The headphones come with two detachable cables, including a high-quality stereo mini-plug with an adapter and a shorter cable, offering flexibility for different equipment setups.

The MDR-M1 combines studio-grade sound, comfort, and reliability, making it a valuable tool for both professionals and enthusiasts in music production.

The MDR-M1 will also work seamlessly alongside Sony’s 360 Virtual Mixing Environment (360VME)  service to free creators from space constraints and heighten reproduction abilities from virtually anywhere. 

Pricing and availability

The MDR-M1 headphones will be available in Malaysia from September 2024.
