One of the first manufacturers to truly embrace the audio revolution, Sony has designed many an impressive headphone in the past 5 years. The MDR-10R is no exception Read More
Love your headphones, earphones, but hate the cable mess they create? Here's a smart solution one of our friends have come up with; help them reach their target to get it mass produced. You can support them at http://igg.me/at/dx220/x/12532748
So these should have arrived in people's doorsteps by now... has anyone received theirs? I just got mine, and I have to say... they're really not as bad as some of the reviews out there make them out to be.
One of the common complaints was that the headphones sound "muffled", and the bass is too strong, and I can see where those complaints come from, but I feel like those are just stylistic, sound signature complaints. The sound -quality- itself is very good for the price - it is a surprisingly smooth sounding headphone, and despite some things indeed sounding "muffled" just a bit, the details are all still there.
I currently own a Sennheiser HD-650 and Grado HP-1, and have owned the Grado RS-1, Sony MDR-CD3000, so I'm not some guy who has only heard $20 headphones in his life, and is marveling at these headphones. I just wanted a cheap pair of headphones for casual listening, where I could just pop them on whenever, for moving-watching, youtube-viewing, or music-listening late at night, and I can definitely see myself enjoying these.
The concensus seems to be, not worth the MSRP of $200, and I totally agree... but at $100 brand new (there are cheaper ones on ebay, but the ones I could find were all refurbished)? I think it's a great deal.
fuzzybaffyI agree with you. These have high-quality sound. I also believe many reviewers erroneously bash the sound signature as low-quality sound, and I have seen this with other headphones' reviews, e.g.: on head-fi threads.

Tried these a few times at various stores (Best Buy and The Source many of the variants) and personally I find the sound disappointing. Midrange is muffled and it's a bit too warm and dark-sounding. MDR-1R is fine but I feel Sony's more recent products sound a bit too laid-back for me.
Looking forward to using these at work. Will replace my cheap earbuds. I have zero interest in spending over a hundred dollars on headphones, so these are perfect.
I have the noise cancelling versions of these. Very comfy but the sound quality is pretty "meh." Would pay more and get the Beyer DT1350s. Even at 2x the price they are so much better than these.
Unless this is the best headphone you ever plan on getting, but if you're an aspiring headphone-aholic you'll be aching for an upgrade pretty quickly. These will then be collecting dust.

dealaholicLike mine since I have the K553. And now I'm looking for drivers of the ath-m40x in order to swap them in.
