sometimes I don't get it, sony Almost perfect! Amazing! Everyone must say this! I use it on my walkman z which I think is the perfect match, but why I can't use the remote mic to control the volume on sony's own device walkman z? And plz give the walkman z android 4.0, walkman z in other regions have android 4.0, I really don't like gingerbread, ugly UI & many issues. February 9, 2013
Incredible Engineering Once Again So far as I have been able to discern, these headphones are an incredible feat of engineering. They sound much better than almost any other headphone in their price bracket. That being said, the build quality leaves something to be desired. With a pair of $250+ headphones, I expect to find nicer materials than these are built with. The earpads and the headband are probably the nicest things on them. The sound is miles ahead of where the build quality would suggest. It is enlivening and exciting to listen to music on the MDR-1R. The "sound stage" is close and detailed, as is usually the case with close-backed headphones. It's not overwhelming though. Another stellar audio product from Sony. I recommend them to anyone searching for incredibly comfortable headphones capable of accurate sound reproduction. The price is a little high, but if you have the ears to appreciate it, these are a worthwhile purchase. November 21, 2012
