It's been a while since I've gone boom-boom with headphones slapped over my ears. And, in case you're wondering, "high-resolution" doesn't apply to monitors or touch screen displays only. Anymore.
So, when Sony launched their high-resolution audio range, they had to make sure they backed up their words with, well, sound. And they have.
Sony's MDR-1A high-resolution audio headphones sound great and music junkies will appreciate the finely-designed audio device - it's nothing fancy, but the combination of materials nicely mesh with each other to give it an elegant and sporty look.
There's a standard 1.2m cable included, and that should be enough - unless you want to enjoy a video game on your TV while perched comfortably on your couch at a distance. On the cable is a one-button inline remote and mic, with no volume controls - that could be an issue if you don't want to reach out to your device to crank it up or tone it down.
When you do snap on the headphones, listen carefully - the sound produced is a rich mix, giving fine detail to even the underlying tones. I am particularly satisfied with the bass level and everything else sounds very crisp and clear. The ear cups, by the way, are huge, and may not be to everyone's liking, and it could get a little sweaty outdoors, especially in the searing heat right now. This time around, the ear cups also rotate in opposite directions (against the MDR-1R), so you can let them rest with the pads facing down - although you can't fold them, much to my chagrin. For those who prefer wireless audio, fear not, as the MDR-1ABT is also available, with high-res.
