Sony’s MDR-7506 headphones have become a go-to option for recording studios and creators. The set of cans are only $100 and they offer crisp, clean sound so you know exactly what your audience is going to hear. Today, the company announced a more robust option for studio headphones, the MDR-M1, that has a slightly updated design, new drivers, wider frequency range, and improved bass response. Inside, the MDR-M1 packs newly developed drivers capable of a frequency response of 5Hz – 80kHz. These closed-back headphones offer increased comfort, better noise isolation, and a reduction in weight compared to the 7506. They come with two detachable cables and are more durable for studio environments. Available for preorder now for $250, the MDR-M1 is a significant upgrade over the MDR-7506. If open-back headphones are preferred, the MDR-MV1 is a similar option at $400.
