I am using these headphones on the new Sony hi res Walkman. I tried every pair of headphones in the store that this device would run without a headphone amp. I had previously ran a pair of V Moda M100's. These had more lower bass response. I don't mean they were bassy or boomy.

After trying some of the other top brands i find the Sony MDR-1A prestige overhead headphones to be much more to my tastes than any other brand comfort and sound quality are fantastic.

Excellent soundstage and imaging

Very disappointing clarity and detail at this price

It was two years ago we were first introduced to the Sony MDR range, headed-up by the self-proclaimed "prestige" MDR-1R headphones. We had to hand it to Sony, though, despite sounding almost pompous they were very impressive over-ears, delivering quality in both the build and sound departments.

Really comfortable for long-term listening; great sound throughout the frequency range - from deep bass through snappy high-end; spatial soundscape delivers engaging listen

Loose fit won't suit smaller heads; can slip slightly during wear so driver positions won't engage high-end frequencies as well; simple carry case

These are by far the best headphones I have ever heard. They are truly high definition with rich, deep, bass, crystal clear highs. I still prefer loud speakers but, when circumstances dictate otherwise, they're quite the consolation!

Awesome sound; astounding comfort; total external noise isolation; unsurpassed quality

I'm tempted to quip about the price but the old axiom; "You get what you pay for" definitely applies here

I bought these headphones to use for 24 track recording and they are just excellent. I have previously had inaccuracies in sound replication between headphones and the professional out-put reference monitors I use.

I've tried this headphones in the store and I was amazed by the quality of the sound. I was so impressed that I couldn't stop talking about them.One morning, few weeks later my husband gave them to me as a birthday gift.You can imagine how happy was I.... So don't hesitate, just buy them!

5+ stars. If you have this store and another in mind, go with these folks. Fantastic product. Best price hands down and delivered ahead of schedule. What more could you ask for.

Keep low down price

I received the Sony MDR-1A as a xmas gift…..well that may be a lie of sorts. I bought these for myself as a xmas gift as I was in need of a quality pair of headphones like this for two reason….1) I lived at the time with someone who was a light sleeper and I needed something to plug into my ipad to...

Comfy and good sound

Price....wired....no nosie reduction
