Sony MDR-M1 Reference Closed Monitor Headphones

The Sony MDR-M1 headphones play from 5 Hz to 80 kHz, for detailed reference monitoring in a closed design that keeps outside sound out.

A custom 40 mm driver balances low distortion with its low-frequency reach, and the isolation lets you judge a recording with an open microphone nearby. Sony tuned the sound with industry engineers. At about 216 g without a cable, they stay light, and the soft, thick pads keep them comfortable through long sessions.

Two detachable cables come in the box, 1.2 m and 2.5 m, each secured by a screw connection with machined aluminum connectors, and the ear pads are easy to replace. A screw-in adapter fits a 1/4-inch or 1/8-inch stereo jack.
