You don’t want to have just purchased Bluetooth Sony headphones and as soon as you start playing your music you notice that the sound quality is absolutely terrible right? While other companies might load up their drivers with heavy components all in the name of higher quality audio, Sony proves that less can truly be more. And while the MDR-1AM2 hits every high note, this part of the frequency range still doesn’t seem as rich as the lows or mids.

The lightweight, very soft pads and the fact that cups are oval shaped makes this pair one of the most comfortable I have ever used. I have accepted the minor flaws in a variety of very good headphones for the purposes of gaming, mobile music listening, etc. These headphones are so comfortable that I find myself using them every day despite their unagreeable FR. You need to take in factors like how long you’ll be wearing the headphones for, your intended purpose, what features you are after, and a few other things discussed above, on whether they’re the right headphones for you. It is obvious by the background of many of the psuedo influencers "reviewing" audio gear these days that they do not truly understand audio at a professional level, and/or are motivated by the occasional endorsements and kickbacks which heavily skew how they approach their appraisals .Should you wish to contact the manufacturer direct for any reason, we have also provided this information within the associated brand sections. It’s been a while since I’ve heard them and I’ve owned several headphones since I’ve had these, so hopefully my memory is serving me well.

I’d stick with the MDR-1AM (the one with the red accents), but also check out the V-Moda M100’s if you want gobs of bass and relaxed treble.
