![]() I have no doubt the MV1 will also age well unless you are especially abusive. Sony headphones have a tendency to not feel particularly premium at first but end up outlasting their owners. The overall build quality of the headphones is good. The supplied adapter is also needlessly bulky and heavy enough to drag your phone if you happen to plug it into one. However, I would have preferred if there were two cables in the box, the longer 2.5m cable with the 6.3mm end and a shorter 1m cable with a 3.5mm end, something many other cheaper headphones come with. The quality of the cable is great and the use of metal for the connector ends on both sides feels fantastic. You also get an adapter that converts the 6.3mm plug to 3.5mm. The smaller one plugs into the headphones and there is also a screw mechanism that secures it in place. By default, the MV1 come with a single long 2.5m cable with a 3.5mm connector on one end and a 6.3mm connector on the other end. The headphones have a single-sided connection on the left earcup. Getting new pads when these inevitably flatten out and change the sound profile is going to be difficult and once again you may have to rely on aftermarket sellers. The earpads are removable but as far as I'm aware Sony does not sell replacements. The earpads have a depth of 2cm before your ears touch the cloth grille on the inside and then another 0.5cm before they touch the hard plastic grill. The earcups have massive foam pads with a soft velour-like texture. The underside has soft foam padding that is mostly concentrated around the middle of the headband and doesn't go all the way up to the ends. The headband has a leather-like material on the top with stitching around the edges. The mechanism is smooth and there are markings so you can get them even on both sides and make a note for different users. The plastic yokes connect to the headband that adjusts with a simple sliding mechanism. The metal earcups have mesh all over, making the entire back porous. The MV1 have a fairly standard, unassuming design in all-black. In this review, I will be checking if the MV1 are fit for their intended purpose and how they perform for other tasks, such as listening to music and playing games. ![]() Sony intends these to be used more specifically for mastering spatial audio, which is becoming increasingly popular these days with the advent of Dolby Atmos (and less so because of Sony's own 360 Reality Audio). ![]() Unlike previous Sony headphones meant for studio use, the MV1 are open-back headphones. They could be considered the spiritual successors to the legendary MDR-7506, which have been around for over 32 years and are still on sale. The MDR-MV1 are Sony's newest studio mixing and monitoring headphones.
