Popular questions
Are the Sony MDR-M1 suitable for use with both a portable player and a studio interface?
Yes, the headphones connect via 3.5 mm, and the 6.35 mm adapter allows them to be used with studio equipment. The detachable cables are secured with a threaded connection, making it harder to accidentally pull out the plug.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
Are the Sony MDR-M1 suitable for mixing and monitoring recordings?
Yes, the neutral presentation, good clarity, and instrument separation make them suitable for both tracking and mixing. The bass is delivered with control, without noticeable coloration, so they are more of a working tool than headphones with an impressive sound signature.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
Is it comfortable to work in them for several hours?
Sony MDR-M1 weigh 216 g without the cable and feature thicker earpads and headband padding. In the review, they could be worn for hours without noticeable discomfort, making the model suitable for long studio sessions.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
Are they suitable for regular music listening?
The Sony MDR-M1 are suitable for music if you prefer a flat and detailed sound without emphasized bass. They confidently reproduce low frequencies and high-frequency detail, but listeners who enjoy the familiar boosted-bass presentation may find them less impactful.Source:Expert reviews
Can they be folded for carrying?
Sony MDR-M1 cannot be fully folded, but the earcups swivel to the side and can lie flat on a table. A protective case is also not included, so for frequent travel, the less compact design is worth considering.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
How suitable are the Sony MDR-M1 for recording near a microphone?
Sound leakage is not particularly high here, although the review rated it as no worse than that of many studio models. The headphones are suitable for tracking, but they should not be chosen solely for maximum sound isolation.Source:Expert reviews
