I've owned several Sony headphones over the years, including noise cancelling models WH1000-XM4 and WH1000-XM5 as well as some others I can't remember. I've owned mostly Sony headphones for the last several years but at one point also had headphones from Sennheiser and Audio-Technica. I consider myself somewhat of an "audiophile" and personally feel like I can tell the difference between FLAC 96kHz/24bit and regular old 44.1Khz/16bit 320Kbps MP3 and other compressed audio formats. So with my history of headphones out of the way, let's talk about how amazing these Sony MDR-1AM2/B sound. Simply put: they're the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. The bass is much better than I expected and is clear, simultaneously crisp and smooth, and not overly powerful or underwhelming. The bass is less powerful than what I would get out of the WH1000-XM4/5 however I consider that a good thing because bass, in my opinion, shouldn't be boosted. I want to hear it as the artist intended, and these MDR-1AM2 deliver that original sound perfectly. The mid and higher octaves of music also sound clear, and simultaneously crisp and smooth. It's exactly what I would expect from headphones like these. It's simply amazing. These headphones have a very smooth and flat frequency response curve, which is excellent and hard to get in headphones. It makes a big difference. I want to hear music just as it was intended from the artist, and with such a smooth and flat response curve, you'll get that original sound. The build quality is surprisingly top-notch and way better than I expected. They're so light you'd think they're made cheaply, but that's not the case. Several parts of the headphones are actually made of metal, such as the band you can adjust to fit your ears, and the cup housing the drivers. For those who like to change up the way they sound, you can do that using an equalizer in your music app or the phone's default one, or one on your desktop. Personally I don't bother because I like the sound just as it is. These headphones are very lightweight. They weigh next to nothing compared to a WH1000-XM5. It's amazing as it makes long listening session much more enjoyable and comfortable. The padding around the ears is very thick, soft, and extremely comfortable. It does a good job at sealing out most other sounds too, which enhances the music experience. They are very comfortable to wear for as long as you'd like. Sony spent a lot of time and effort into getting these headphones certified HiRes - and it clearly worked out well. The grill has a very neat pattern to it. The drivers are simply amazing and can even reproduce sounds as high as 100kHz (way beyond the ability for a human ear to hear). The aluminum coated drivers do make a big difference, as it adds a certain level of stiffness that helps keep sound more accurate. I listen primarily to music recorded at 96 or 192kHz at 24bit depth. I feel like I'm finally getting every ounce of that from these headphones. I listen on my phone using a DAC that goes up to 384kHz/32bit and is very clear and clean. The DAC I use for my phone is exactly what's needed to truly enjoy the music. In my case the DAC was well priced for it's amazing chipset. My desktop has an even better DAC that also does the same 384kHz/32bit but has even better noise reduction and such. They sound amazing on both phone and desktop. You'll need a good DAC to enjoy these headphones to their fullest. I highly recommend these headphones to anyone, especially audiophiles or those who take music seriously, or even work with music, such as producing or mixing. These headphones are so good, I wish I started with them and never bothered with the noise cancelling ones. They simply don't compare at all in clarity and accuracy of the music. These headphones are a must buy!

Simply the best headphones. Pristine sound. Lightweight. Comfortable. On my 2nd pair, 1st one lasted 6 years but padding was worn out.

These are excellent headphone and are superb when paired with a quality DAC. They are lightweight and deliver detailed sound across the audio spectrum. I prefer these over my Beyer Dynamic 980 Pros because they have a more pleasing low end (this is often the case with closed back verses open back headphones).

While these are very nice closed wide frequency headphones, the first thing I noticed is they made my ears hot. This might be okay in the cold season, but when it is hot time of year, not so much. The biggest gripe I had was the 4 foot cable, which is insanely short. As long as I don't move from my seat, they reach the front 3.5mm jacks on my full tower PC. I tried to find an third party 6 foot cable, but none are made to snap securely in the headset. The 3.5mm 4-Pole TRRS jack connection is proprietary. The headphones don't fly for me. I went back to my proven and inexpensive Koss KPH30i which I have used for many years now. They are foam on the ears, but never hot and never uncomfortable with great private sound. Sometimes more expensive is not necessarily better.

I'll be comparing these to my experiences with mid-level Sennheiser headphones, which I replaced with the Sony this time because Sennheiser is bad about not supporting their products (which I have grown tired of). I did not get these for noise-cancellation, so I will not be reviewing based on that (however, they do mask background noise better than my 598s, including the sound of my Cherry MX Brown mechanical keyboard and my CPU fans, if that is a factor for you). Pros: - The bass response is exceptional. That's not necessarily a good thing for ear health, but if bass is important to you, the MDR1AM2s bring it. - The packaging is impressive, right down to the custom-fitted shrink wrap, but I had to damage the outer sleeve on the box to get it open, so it might make returns problematic. - The cans swivel flat, making them relatively easy to store and to pack in a laptop bag. They would make excellent headphones for a traveler. - They are lightweight. I'm not sure how that will bode for long-term durability. I'll have to get back to you in 5 years. Cons: - The over-the-ear design is too tight for my liking. With my Sennheisers (598 SE), I could forget I was wearing them. I can't with the MDR1AM2s. I find myself frequently adjusting the left can for proper fit. Nipponjin must have small ears compared to Germans. - The leather-style earpads make my ears sweat. - Although I expect the frequency response to improve once the drivers break-in, out of the box, the high frequency response is lackluster at best. By comparison with the Sn 598s, they sound more hollow. Note: I do expect this to improve over time, but as to how much it will improve, that has yet to be heard. - The included headphone jack does not fit correctly with my standard extension cable. I had to nudge the plug out just a bit to get the sound to come through correctly. I'm not sure at this point whether replacing the cable with a different one will alleviate that issue. So far, it hasn't been a major problem. - Any movement of the cable will carry through to the cans, interfering with the sound quality. So if you are working at your computer and have to move your head, even a centimeter, you will hear it. Conclusions: - They're good, but I liked my $94.00 (on sale at the time) Sennheiser 598 SEs better (until the OEM earpads wore out and I couldn't get a comparable replacement because Sennheiser product support leaves something to be desired).
