Review on Sony MDR-1AM2 Earphones, black by Agata Getka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

But despite that, I enjoyed them. When I was a broke student, I purchased a Sennheiser HD558 headphone, and it has been nothing but reliable for me ever since I got it. It is now nine years old (though they are falling apart a little already). As a result, I shall contrast myself with them. In terms of practicality, the senshi are larger; as a result, they remind me of warm and inviting house slippers, in which it is possible to enjoy a high level of comfort. These are of the open type, and for personal use, I find that I like it. Sennheiser is located on the side of a computer that has a basic and outdated sound card from the creative, vocals, and staging departments. But, Sony is superior in terms of all other metrics. I took them back to the Sony store and listened to them on a Sony player there, and after doing so, I can confidently declare that listening to them on a phone does not do these headphones justice. This does not imply that they have a subpar performance when playing from the phone. Therefore, purchasing them solely for their phones is a waste of money. Vice versa. These play even many times better than my home senshi, which I consider to be my favorite, given that they have a low resistance, which comes from a low-power gadget. I really liked how these headphones made my favorite music sound because they have low frequencies, are really deep and pleasant, and "hit on the ears" in the most literal meaning of the phrase. I'm glad I made the decision to purchase these. The long cable that was included has been removed. On my Senkhas, it is three meters in width and is an excellent choice for the home. I'm going to look into getting an extension. There is much more that needs to be written, but for now I will summarize everything by listing its advantages and disadvantages =)

Pros
  • Incredible quality of sound. Even when played on a mobile device, they are enjoyable. The margin in terms of volume is more than ample. Excellently put together. My first impression was that they would be made of plastic, but upon closer inspection I found that the ear cups and the mechanism were both made of metal. Unpacking everything left me with a delightfully unexpected experience. Excellent absorption of sound. It should be sufficient for both the street and the house. Because no one has commented on the caliber of my voice thus far, I may safely assume that the microphone is functioning well.
Cons
  • In spite of this, I think the wire that comes with the kit should be longer so that it may be used with a computer. I did not discover the original cable that was 3 meters long, therefore I will have to purchase an extension chord. In general, if your original cable breaks, it will be tough to obtain a replacement for it, and it will probably be pricey as well. Perhaps the issue lies with me alone, but for a physically demanding exercise like riding, they are not appropriate. The ears perspire quickly, and after thirty minutes of riding at a temperature of fifteen degrees Celsius, the ear pads are completely soaked.
