I really found the backround music distracting in this video. Just a suggestion.
NintendoMasterG It's sokay, something I learnt pretty quickly lol.
I liked the music. Maybe just turn it down slightly.
***** keep the background music, turn volume really down.
***** The music had vocals and they tend to distract. Pure ambient music is better. New to your channel, i like what you are doing. Subscribing ;)
In terms of music there will always be different tastes :)
Good review, but the music is kinda loud. Any plans on reviewing the Sony MDR 10Rnc? Thanks.
Hey Lachlan, I am looking for a pair of headphones for Decent Bass, I have listened to the new Sony MDR-10RNC and liked the bass but not the design so much, but since this is the old i was thinking it would be almost the same for the Bass but in this it sounds like it dosnt have that much. I like the MDR-10s but i like the look of the MDR-1R's better than the Momentums. I am just wondering which Headphone has the best bass and most rich but not overpowering.
Very nice description. I can touch the sound with your review, I like it.
very good detailed review and I love the brown, these will be my next purchase
Thank you! Really enjoy looking through your reviews! Keep up the good work!
Ahh, your reviews are sooooo good! :D love them all so far - also you hair is freaking awesome!
Distractingly loud background music, but, what a wonderful review anyway. Your ability to articulate any notion you choose regarding any and every element of this headphones make - up, both physically and sonically, is truely great and the presentation of the facts is very easy to follow.
I've seen plenty of mentions of these headphones on forums including head-fi. For me the diffuse imaging in what apparently is a nice soundstage would not make these a first choice for me.
Would you ever consider doing a video review of the PSB-M4U2 or PSB M4U1? These are the only headphones, aside from some of the Sennheiser HD line, that I cannot seem to find a negative comment on regarding sound quality.
Aside from complaints of heaviness to the build, excessive clamping pressure, slight microphonics, overly glossy plastic appearance, and in fact cracking in the plastic rim over the headband in earlier serial numbers, I've yet to hear anything but amazing reviews for PSB headphone sound.
Would love to get your take on it. Anyway, thanks again for another worthwhile watch in product review.
great review and thanks the subtitles :)
can you disable the background music? I thought another browser windows was emitting audio.
Very nice review.. I have ordered for Mdr1rbt mk2.. They are updated version I guess.. Any review on them?
Great videos mate, really enjoy them
Great in depth review!
Hi i like a lot your reviews!
What about classical music on sony mdr - 1r?
Hey Lachlan,
How do you think the MDR-1R's compare to the Sennheiser HD 8 DJ's? I listen to rock and pop mainly.
Hey thanks so much for your reviews! Choosing between the Momentum and MDR-1R and these reviews helps a lot. :)
By the way I actually like the idea of having background music in the review, but I think some subtle instrumentals would be better - not as distracting as vocals.
lachlan would you prefer sony mdr 1r or the berdynamic dt880?
Between the MDR-1R, and MDRMA900 which headphone would you say has a better soundstage?
any chance you could upload a version of this review video with the background music removed? one of the better reviews for the 1R out there. great job minus the music and constant hair touching.
These or the audio technical athm50x.Can I have your opinion on this,thanks.
very good review, I like the background music!
Hi there. Could you tell me which of these handsets are suitable for most of classical music, house, vocal trance, Ath-M40X, ath-m50x, MDR-1r or philips cityscape uptowan. I care about sound pure, deep, space and good separation of instruments as well as clean vocals. Important to the headphones sounded loud and clear but to no hissed.
An example of music which can be heard: The Cascades-rhythm of the rain, Skye - not broken, chris pureka-cynical, route94-forget the girl, Russo-hold on. Regards
Hi Lachlan, i just got the mdr 1r mk2 and i find the treble abit fatiegueing and sharp at times. particulary female vocals. It is certainly a warm sounding headphone but sometimes the female vocals just rip my ears apart with its sharpness... does it require time for it to burn it in for the treble to be toned down abit...
Hey can you tell me the difference between the MDR-1R and the MDR-1A? Which is better and what exactly "change" in the version (2012) on the other (2014) still have the amazing sound or have more details on the "A" version? Greetings and amazing review!
Excellent review!
How do you get that wallpaper/lockscreen thingy?
Hi, Do you recommend the 9H headset from Steelseries ? if No
then what do you recommend for gaming from the Headphones you tried ?
Have you heard the 950BT? If so how would you compare them?
These, custom one pro;s, dt770's or something else?
I have the m50's at the moment but want a bit more bass without loosing good clarity and soundstage. help lach!
which is the mean difference betwen mdr 1a?
anyway the think u put on your headphones waht that?i need something like that for my headphones i have like 4 pairs.
which is more good in terms of bass ...momentum or sony mdr 1r
lol, keep doing what your doing man, I think you do a good job at tech reviewing. I went for the momentums and I like them very much, things you said about build quality are true and and they sound great. plus, in the shop I noticed the thing about the wire twisting in the 3.5mm jack and making a noise on the mdr1r, plus all the pictures make the mdr1r's look metal but their not :(. Anyway, think I made the right choice. Cheers and keep it up. :)
How is the sound leakage?
Would this bother someone near me in a library?
how do these compare to the classic sony v6s? nice review but the background music is a bit loud, ended up distracting ....
what do u think is better these or the beats pro? sorry for all the questions
I'm have to decide between the mdr 1r and Bose soundtrue. it is so hard because I cannot try them. I just want good quality and comfort.
i like the background music - what's the singer and the name of song?'
How's the momentum compared with the P7?
Hy there my friend.Tell me something..what would you choose between Sony Mdr 1R and the Pioneer HDJ 2000? Have you tried the HDJ 2000?
Great review!
First of all, great background music, Lachlan!
I bought the MDR-1r based on your review, and i must say that this headphones are perfect if you don't intend to use a portable AMP or DAC. I'm using only my note 2 and Ipod shufle and there is plenty of volume! It's true that they lack a little bit in bass, but that just makes the vocals and overal song more clear, in my opinion. If you are not listening to a lot of DnB and DubStep, these headphones are perfect.
Great review, thanks
Hey. I had Bose IE2 till now and I'll like to change from in-ear to on-ear.
I'm looking for the Sony MDR-1R or the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II.
What do you think I should buy. I listen to electro music. Most Deep/Tech/Electro House, Mainroom and Dubstep.
i do enjoy a bigger sound stage for my music but i like a more neutral sounding headphone. do these compare with the bowers and wilkins p5's?
which do u think has more bass, the mdr 1r or the xb700?
So I've been thinking about this for quite some time. But what do u mean this headphone has a "warmer" sound?
the review was relaxing and great !
Can you review the Mdr-1r MK2?or give it a quick listen tell whats different from MK1.........lovin your BTW ;)
ahhh... isee... i've only tested the momentum, and i loved it, and i've read great reviews about the 1R... thanks for clearing things up!!! but the design of the 1R is just sooooooo tempting!!! :P
The music made the video better. great review. If I had the money I think I would buy these. :)
Would you be able to review the Sony mdr xb950bt? I am looking for a pair that sound this good but feel like Bose qc and would def, pay to have it XD
how would you compare these against a sennheiser hd 25 or beats mixr?
can u please do an comparison between the MDR-1R to the UE6000 >
Hi your videos are awesome!! I have a question... if you have to choose between Sony MDR 1R, Beats mixr and Beats studio 2.0 (2013) which one is better?? I mean... bass, comfort and durability. those headphone are in my country why is that reason of choose them.......... I need your help!! please ;)
Which headphones are better .. Sony MDR-1R or Sennheiser momentum?
What is the difference between them?
Thank you (:
can you tel me which one is bether this sony but the RBT or sony pulse.ty
Bluetooth will not sound as good as a wired connection. Sony Pulse? That is a gaming headset not intended for music.
thank you for this video;) i really like it
what would you recommend the Sony MDR1R or Bose QC15
mdr 1adac vs mdr 1rbt vs mdr 1a ? which one is better ?
Would you recommend these over the Sennheiser Momentum?
Hey great review! What do you think these MDR R1 or V-MODA LP2 ?
Are the cushions replaceable?
Hey man. Loving ur vids. I have very urgent question to ask. I have a choice between the Sennheiser hd25 adidas, sony mdr 1r, logitech ue 6000, sony mdr x10, skullcandy aviators. Which would u choose in terms of comfortability, sound, isolation? PLZ REPLY IM ON A PLANE NEXT WEEK
@lachlanlikesathing Do you still use the Momentum and the Sony MDR 1R equally as much? If not, why the one more than the other?
what about ath m50x ？ which is the better？
if i use the bass boost eq (clear bass) on my xperia phone i wonder will this headphone make rumble bass or the bass just distort and get worse.
Lachlan great channel and reviews, I've subscribed. I currently use the ZX-700 which I love quite a bit. If they had more sub-bass they'd be perfect for me. Are these a substantial improvement? Primarily in sub-bass? Thanks and keep up the good work.
These will not be equivalent to a ZX700 with more sub-bass haha. You may want to consider something like the NAD VISO HP50 for a similar kind of dry sound with more sub bass...
i listen to hard rock,alternative rock,metal genres of music what do you think i should pick? This one, Ath m50s, beyerdynamic cop?
No worries it's nothing major, great video though! By the way which isolates better - MDR-1R or Momentum? As a portable headphone I want really good isolation for bus/train etc
Hey, i´m really interessted in how you would compare the mdr 1R to the mdr 7550 and which you prefer. thinkin about getting one of them for home use, so isolation doens´t matter.I´m listening to all sorts of music but most of the time to hiphop and house and this often louder so im not so keen on too much highs but i dont like too much bass but sure also not too less for those kind of music, so i thought i could be happy with one of those 2. Would be happy if you could give a recommendation ;)
MDR-1R vs ATH M50 whis is better for pc ?
p.s i have audioengine D1 DAC
Would love to see more reviews of stuff.
You answered my questions regarding MDR-1R that I couldn't find on the internet. Now I got one for myself. It's comfortable.
We watched with my girlfriend, thought it was cute when you said the girl voices sound cute.
what music player is that in the background?
Do these require some burn in time?
Hello. How is the bt version of this? Sound is the same?
No they sound different, but I haven't given it a very long listen.
hey buddy...this might be a stupid question but just wanna ask do you suggest using amp to burn in this cool headphone to listen ipod. If so, what amp would you suggest to use? Thanks I appreciate that. ^_^
are you going to review the mdr-1rbtmk2 as well?
its available in your country i think.
no one has review the headphone yet.
I might give the RNC or RBT a go, we will see but no firm plans yet! :3
This one or Fidelio L2 for female singers?
lol....thanks...dude..appreciate that..and anyway do you mind if you
also do the interview with the parrot zik headphone....I'm looking forward to watching it... ^_^
How do these compare with ATH m50's?
Did microphone work with xperia z? if you have chance to try please try it T_T i really want to know.
Can u Review the sony Mdr-1r MK2 if sony is willing send u one that is or give it a quick listen at a store and tell me whats different from the Mk1 apart from the cable...I am torn between the two since you are my favorite headphone reviewer I really want to know ur opinion before I buy either....: )
Would love to see some JBL headphones in your review collection!
Nice review! I have a pair of MDR-1r and they're perfect in terms of comfort. Sound signature wise, they lack a bit of sub-bass and I would've like it more if it has a little bit more sparkle on the high end. Soundstage is awesome though, and was the deal breaker for me when I chose it over the Momentums...
Hello Lachlan! I have a question! Which headphone would you prefer for pop, rock, and rap songs? Bose soundtrue or this Sony MDR1R? Also would be using for casual use outside.
I'd look for the new MDR-1A. Otherwise I think the V-Moda m100 is better than both for those genres.
***** i having never listened to anything but beats studio.What headphone will you recommend for me that doesn't need an amp, is very good for watching movies and has very good bass without sacrificing sound quality? i like bass heavy music like hip hop/dubstep/rap. I live in a 3rd world country..Demo units are non existent here
are these worth the price?
Nice video, would you recomend this or Sennheiser Momentum? I listen to rock (Pink Floyd,ecc....) but also dubstep or electro.Sorry for my english, thank you. :)
In Romania the WS55X are nowhere to be found. Only the WS55. I'm not a bass person, but somethimes i like to listen some drum and base. But i listen on a wide variety of genders, from classical to heavy metal. So for this kind of music, what would you reccomend, based only on the sound quality, without considering the conform, build quality, price, etc. Does the base on the MDR-1R is really that nonexistent? I also heard that the MDR-1R can not be used outside on a windy day, is that true? THX!!
I really want to buy a Sennheiser Momentum headphone but at same price, do I have other better choice? I don't have a amplifier so just use iphone and ipod , really need somebody give me a good advice !~
it is!! i hope it would be available here in the philippines though...
Hey Lachlan digging the channel loving the reviews. I want to get these sony mdr 1R or ath 50xbl as my portable all rounder? Do they have a good enough soundstage that movies and shows are good on them. I listen to everything but my go tos are hip-hop rap RnB Motown soul neosoul etc. Comfort is big too. If not what would you recommend?
I would hesitate about the MDR 1R if hip hop and rap are your thing. Their bass is just not tight enough in my opinion. I'd go the M50X, though soundstage is wider on the Sony. The Sony is more comfortable too so it's a tough choice. I can't think of too many alternatives but perhaps the KEF M500?
*****
Yeah I'm probably going to buy the KEF m500 the sound signature what I like.
The sony mdr I got them, I have to say they are awesome. The bass is good enough however when eq'ed from my LG G3 (highly recommend best phone I ever had) poweramp brings them to life. I have tried many
Cans none touch it in comfort maybe the Bose quiet comforts and sennheiser open cans. For me it's hard to find comfortable fit plus quality sound. Hopefully the Mk2 ate Just as good. What have you heard lachlan on the new version? from an amurican good on yah mate!
you like these more than the sennheiser momentums?, sorry I don't have time to watch the video and judge for myself.
I see that XX album cover on the monitor. Suuuuuuuuch a fantastic album, I can't stress it enough.
Would you recommend any other product in the same price range? MDR-1r is $199 now, at least on sony.ca.
Could you do a video on the Sony XB-1000? Thank You
Hey :) can u try the new sony mdr-1adac? Please
Could you please do a video on 1R vs Momentum?
ok thanks. How about the audio technica ATH-m50. I hear those offer a lot of bass.
Really nice review. I subscribed :) How does this compare with Sony MDR-V55?
Iv'e read that an easy way to stop the jack from rattling is to buy an O-ring and attaching it to the cable jack.
