Sony MDR-1A

Sony MDR-1A Description:

Top Customer Review:
These headphones are some of the most comfortable headphones you'll ever wear and on top of that, the audio quality is incredible. They are a little on the bass heavy side but if you have an equalizer on your phone you can make it work. I bought these because I was looking for a pair of high quality portable headphones to use with my phone at work or on the go. These are exactly what I was looking for and am quite happy. Only complaint is that Sony doesn't include a decent travel case, they only give you a pouch which sucks for how much these cost.

Sony's MDR-1A is the successor to the discontinued MDR-1R , a "premium" over-ear that we liked a lot when we reviewed it a few years ago.

One of the biggest design changes is that the MDR-1A's earcups rotate in an opposite direction from the MDR-1R's. That's a big deal because the headphones can now rest flat (pads down) against your clavicles when you have them sitting on your neck. In other words, they feel a lot more comfortable when you're wearing them around your neck and not listening to them.

That earlier model was known for being extremely comfortable, and the very similar looking 1A, which costs $300 (£170 UK, AU$400), is even more so, thanks to some small design changes. First, its earcup design is subtly different, with softer padding and cushions that are slightly angled to conform to your head better. The finish on the MDR-1A is also a bit more textured (stippled). It's a minor detail, but I did like it slightly better, but others may prefer the smooth finish of the MDR-1R.
