Sony MDR-M1 Closed Monitor Headphones — Mint Condition, Like New
Worn only a handful of times and always stored carefully. No scuffs, no ear pad wear, no cable kinks. Considering the original retail packaging, if you didn't know better, you'd swear it just came off the shelf new...
The MDR-M1 is Sony's current flagship closed-back studio reference headphone, built around a newly developed 40mm neodymium driver with an ultra-wide 5Hz–80kHz frequency response and 102dB sensitivity. The circumaural closed-back design isolates outside noise well enough for tracking and monitoring in untreated rooms, while still delivering the clarity and detail engineers expect for mixing and mastering. At 216 grams it's noticeably light for a closed-back monitor headphone, which makes a real difference during long sessions.
This is a legitimate step up from the MDR-7506/CD900ST family that Sony's pro line was built on for decades, refined with modern driver tech and a wider frequency response. It's equally at home in a home studio, on a broadcast desk, or as a serious everyday listening headphone.
Current new pricing on this model with no signs of use runs $228–$250 at major retailers (Sweetwater, Sony direct, Amazon), against a $249.99 MSRP. Used-market listings for the MDR-M1 are still fairly thin since it's a recent release, but mint-condition studio headphones in this tier typically trade at 75–80% of new price on the resale market. Based on that and current retail benchmarks, a fair asking price for this mint unit is $200 — priced to move quickly while still reflecting its like-new condition.
