Sony’s new MDR-MV1 headphones are conceived, designed and constructed for skilled music mixing. These are open-backed headphones able to an prolonged frequency vary of 5Hz to 80-kHz. Due to their excessive decision and the inner design of the 1.58-inch driver models, they’re completely fitted to mixing and mastering in each standard stereo and the brand new common immersive sound codecs.
I attempted and in contrast the MDR-MV1 to different headphones round my studio and located them exceptionally light-weight and super-comfortable for carrying for lengthy hours. They’ve ear pads which might be very delicate and the ear cups are constructed from aluminum not plastic. So, within the studio, dropping them and even stepping on them just isn’t the tip of the world! They fold up flat and are rated at 1.5-watts and with an impedance of 24-ohms will go louder than smart! Sensitivity is 100dB/mW and I like the “un-hyped” sound of them! Flat response is a particular requirement for me.
The MDR-MV1 headphones embody a top quality, removable cable with machined aluminum connectors plus a 1/4-inch TRS stereo-to-1/8-inch mini-jack adapter for utilizing them with telephones and/or a laptop computer/pill.
Reasonably than the adapter, I feel Sony ought to embody two cables like for utilizing them within the studio and a second shorter cable to attach them to your cellphone. Adapters are typically a “level of failure” over time and add extra weight to the included 98-inch lengthy cable.
When my singer used them to overdub her vocal, their sound tended to “leak” into the microphone, however in all equity, she sings very quietly (requiring numerous mic achieve) and is simply inches from the mic.
Taking these considerations into consideration, the MDR-MV1 headphones simply got here out and works inside Sony’s new 360 Digital Mixing Atmosphere service and are the right option to begin immersive mixing.
Sony Electronics MDR-MV1 Reference Monitor Headphones promote for $399 MSRP.
