Sony India today announced the MDR-M1 Reference Closed Monitor Headphones, designed for music creators, audiophiles, and sound engineers to produce music in any environment, heard as they intended. The headphones host a closed acoustic structure with high sound isolation, exclusively developed driver, and a lightweight and comfortable design that allow users to create in their own environments, as if they were in the studio. The MDR-M1 headphones combine studio sound quality with extreme comfort and reliability, suitable for a wide range of music production and high-resolution audio applications.

 

1.Delivers precise, high-fidelity audio across all frequencies with 360-degree spatial sound

The MDR-M1 offers studio sound quality with a carefully tuned acoustic structure to support a wide range of music production, all while offering high-resolution audio. At the core of the sound quality is a uniquely developed driver unit that achieves ultra-wideband playback (5Hz – 80kHz), featuring a combination of a soft edge shape to reproduce low frequencies with sufficient volume and low distortion, and a hard dome shape to accurately reproduce ultra-high frequencies.  The closed acoustic structure helps eliminate ambient noise and sound leakage from the headphones, making them suitable for use in a variety of production processes, so that each note can be carefully tuned and monitored to support accuracy and authenticity of the creator. A tuned port (Beat Response Control) acts as a ventilation hole to control low frequencies. By optimising the operation of the diaphragm there are improved low-frequency transient characteristics, making it possible to accurately reproduce sound with a very tight bass response.

 

2.Developed with top sound engineers for optimal accuracy

Sony aims to create products that enhance both content creation and listening experiences for professionals and consumers. The MDR-M1 headphones were created in collaboration with some of the top sound engineers in the industry, including Mastering Engineer of Battery Studios, Mike Piacentini, and Recording and Mixing Engineer of Power Station at Berklee NYC, Akihiro Nishimura, to ensure an authentic and enriching music experience.

 

3.Isolates ambient noise and prevents sound leakage

The MDR-M1 Monitor Headphones feature a closed acoustic structure specifically designed for studio use. This design minimizes ambient noise and prevents sound leakage, allowing audio professionals to focus on precise sound monitoring without external distractions. The closed structure enhances isolation, ensuring that every detail in the audio mix is heard with clarity, which is crucial for accurate mixing and mastering. By eliminating background noise and maintaining sound integrity, the MDR-M1 provides an environment akin to a professional studio setting, making it an ideal tool for meticulous audio work in any setting.

 

4.Ensures comfort during extended mixing and mastering sessions

The MDR-M1 headphones feature a meticulously engineered lightweight design that enhances user comfort during extended use. By incorporating advanced materials and innovative design techniques, Sony has ensured that the MDR-M1 remains comfortable and stable, even during long mixing and mastering sessions. The ergonomic design, combined with thick, low-resilience padding, provides a snug fit that minimizes ear fatigue and maximizes isolation. This thoughtful approach to design allows audio professionals to focus on their work without distraction, making the MDR-M1 an ideal choice for those demanding both comfort and performance in their audio equipment.

 

5.Available with two detachable cables (6.3mm and 3.5mm) for professional use

MDR-M1 headphones are designed for years of dependable use and is supplied with two detachable cable lengths (6.3mm and 3.5mm) and easy to replace earpads.
