Review: El ajuste de estos audífonos es como ponerte pantuflas, súper cómodos, los pads de las orejas y la cabeza con buena densidad y tipo velour por lo que no acaloran como los de piel. El cable es de buena calidad y largo, pero me hubiera gustado que el adaptador de 3.5 fuera más sencillo (un plug en lugar de un cable corto). El sonido es en V con muy buen bajo, definición de medios y agudos que nunca cansan y aportan amplitud. El escenario es amplio y con gran definición, ubicas cada instrumento con claridad. La relación precio/calidad no tiene comparación.
Review: My favourite so far, mainly for mixing, you can hear more details than anything else. Listening to recordings I’m familiar with I was able to hear new details with ease, usually takes a lot of concentration to hear, I was able to hear the individual notes of a chord instead of just the chord. I highly recommend it for listening and mixing, the only drawback is the vocals are not in your face like some others and you may need to lower 8k a tiny bit to make them sound even better, and flat. Every db of + or - eq you do, is very noticeable it’s really something.

Recently picked up the Sony MDR-MV1 open-back headphones after looking for a serious monitoring upgrade that wouldn’t blow my budget — and I have to say, these headphones are the most honest, immersive, and comfortable pair I’ve ever used. What Makes the MDR-MV1 Special? These aren’t your average consumer headphones — they were engineered specifically for professional mixing and spatial audio creation, and it shows. But here’s the twist: you don’t need to work in a multi-million-dollar studio to appreciate what they bring to the table. Whether you're a bedroom producer, podcast editor, or YouTuber who cares about audio integrity, the MDR-MV1 will change how you hear your work. Key Reasons to Buy: Open-Back Design = True-to-Life Soundstage This is where the magic happens. The open-back structure creates an airy, wide soundstage that replicates the feel of nearfield monitors — perfect for mixing, spatial panning, and detailed editing. You’ll hear reverb tails, background noise, and panning choices more accurately than on any closed-back headphone. For a home studio without acoustic treatment, this is a massive win. Flat, Transparent Frequency Response Sony tuned these to deliver ultra-flat and neutral audio, especially in the mids and highs. There’s no artificial bass boost here — just clean, reliable sound. That means what you hear while mixing is what your audience will hear after mastering. Spatial Audio Monitoring Ready If you’re dabbling in immersive formats like Dolby Atmos or 360 Reality Audio, these are built for it. The imaging and stereo separation are unbelievably precise. Even for stereo mixes, the detail is outstanding — you can place every instrument exactly where it belongs. Featherweight Comfort for Long Sessions At just around 223g, these are so light and breathable you’ll forget you’re wearing them. The open-back design also keeps your ears from overheating — ideal for those long late-night sessions or Zoom-based collaborations. Pro Build, Home Studio Friendly You don’t need expensive gear to pair with these. I run them through an affordable interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2), and they sound phenomenal. They’re low impedance (24 ohms), so you don’t need a headphone amp to drive them — they’ll work great even if you’re starting out. Why You Should Get These Over Other "Studio" Headphones: Most closed-back headphones (even expensive ones) are great for tracking or casual listening — but they lie to you when mixing. You’ll often make EQ or balance decisions based on colored sound. The MDR-MV1 tells the truth, which is exactly what you want if you're publishing content or producing music people will actually hear on other devices. For the price, these compete with headphones double their cost. If you're in a home studio or content creation space, and want pro-level sound without investing in expensive room treatment or full-size monitors — this is your solution. Final Verdict: The Sony MDR-MV1 is hands-down the best investment I’ve made for my home studio. It delivers uncompromising sound quality in a package that respects both your ears and your wallet. If you want your work to sound the way it’s meant to — no guesswork, no hype — get these. Don’t mix blind. Listen smart. The MDR-MV1 is your new best friend.
