Reference-quality Headphones for Immersive Audio

Sony MDR-MV1 headphones offer reference-quality sound that's ideal for fine-tuning binaural mixes — a must if you want to churn out pro-level Dolby Atmos and Apple Spatial Audio deliverables. These high-resolution, well-balanced headphones boast a 5Hz–80kHz frequency response. Moreover, their meticulously tuned open-back acoustic design safeguards against unwanted internal reflections, and offers accurate reproduction of reverberant characteristics. The engineers here at Sweetwater are blown away with how comfortable MDR-MV1 headphones are, thanks to their light weight, secure fit, and super-soft suede ear pads. You also get rugged detachable cables and a machined-aluminum mini-jack adapter. If you work in immersive audio, don't take your binaural mixes for granted. After all, those are what the majority of your earbud-wearing listeners will hear. Put on a set of Sony MDR-MV1 open-back headphones, and you can mix anything with the utmost confidence.

Cutting-edge construction

Sony MDR-MV1 headphones come loaded with state-of-the-art neodymium drivers optimized for an open-back acoustic structure. This means that they can reproduce low-frequencies just as well as closed-back headphones, but with greater accuracy. These headphones deliver an impressive 5Hz–80kHz frequency response, with a well-balanced, high-resolution sound reminiscent of a speaker-based production environment. What's more, MDR-MV1 headphones are so superbly tuned that they're utterly devoid of unwanted internal sonic reflections. The result? Crystal-clear sound with spot-on accuracy — two necessary traits for effective monitoring. Engineers searching for the right set of headphones for crafting binaural mixes will find everything they need in Sony MDR-MV1 headphones.

Rated 5/5

For what it is. It’s worth it.

Had these for about two weeks. And the sound quality of these phone are excellent. Crispy clear. The spatial thing have not grown on me yet. But you have to be open minded to accepting it. I would recommend these to an avid listener.

Exceptional

I received mine today after work. I have been looking forward to these for a few weeks after reading about 5 articles about them. Needless to say, my expectations were high. These did not disappoint, it was well worth the wait. They had a beautiful soundstage. The response is very flat and provides an accurate representation of the music. This is my second pair of Sony studio headphones. My other pair are closed back. I have another pair of open back headphones that are a different brand. I am very pleased with how these sound.
