Product Description
Part of Sony’s high-end “h.ear on” line, the MDR100ABN’s offer high-resolution audio in a comfy wireless design over Bluetooth 4.0. These headphones capture music at a higher rate than CD, with more frequent and more accurate audio samples per second Read More
Mr.Dr.SirHuh, looks like now both the blue and black ones are only 179.00. Wonder if someone saw a bunch of traffic coming directed from this page and adjusted them.
Can these be charged any other way than with a computer, say with a portable charging device? I am planning a trip and did not want to haul a laptop! Thanks!
No, I meant higher voltage. Some fast chargers aren't just 5V, but support faster charging speeds with 9V, 12V and even 15V - see Qualcomm Quick Charge, Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging, and even USB Type C Power Delivery (out of the three samples, only USB PD is an official standard).
But most of these are irrelevant, since these headphones will charge only with 5V, and even at that, with a limited current (based on the specs sheet, I'd say around 200-300mA@5V).
End of the line: Use whatever 5V USB charger you find, just make sure it's a quality one.
Exactly.
Above USB standards, there's Qualcomm Quick Charging (mentioned before), and some other protocols that are usually dubbed "fast charging" - not just higher amperage, but in general, higher voltage options, where the device, after initial connection to the charger, negotiates maximum charging wattage and the matching profile (e.g. a charger can support 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/2A, and 20V/1A, while the device supports up to 12V/2A).
I hate good drops with non-existant proper worldwide shipping options. As if the world consisted only of one continent... get your act together next time please.

I have these in black. Excellent phones that produce an energetic slight V sound, meaning elevated but controlled bass and sparkly highs. The mids are not pushed backed or muffled but they are not as pronounced as the lows and highs. Great for many music genres specially ones that give you an energy boost but also amazing in movies/games, the sound will make you feel enveloped into whatever you're watching. These sound best when using the BT, cabled they are only so-so and really meant to be driven by the onboard amp paired with the bluetooth connection.
I also have the MDR1000X and those are more warm sounding with a more laid back sound. The 100ABN has a grade below NC over the 1000X, which IMO has surpassed even Bose in NC capabilities.
For $169 and portability, use, etc these are an EXCELLENT deal. If you don't like "colorful" get the v. blue ones, they're the quietest of the bunch in terms of color.
I've never heard it but there is a comparison with the h.ear on and the mdr1a floating the net/google. The h.ear on is the wired version of the mdr100abn.
From memory it says the h.ear on was a natural progression of the mdr1a.
