Thanks in Advance

 

 

Edit:

 

Also I saw in Amazon two versions of this headset

 

One is around $29 and other around $65 y the price difference?

The price difference is due to official full retail packaging and bulk packaging. You just get a extra box, 1 year warranty thats it, except they are all the same.

I bought a white MH1C at first for 1000Rs.(with coupon) and thought of getting a black one too as it was getting very dirty and I love the SQ of these, so thought of getting a backup pair

I bought another black one for 25$ from ebay.com, its legit but takes around 2 weeks to get delivered(worths the wait). All ebay.in vendors prices are way higher now and only white ones are cheap and I dont recommend the white one at all.

1. There are no fakes.  The cheap version has no packaging (except a nice plastic bag, tips and shirt clip) while the $65 version comes with retail packaging and warranty.

2. Just make sure you get the MH1C and not the MH1 which is for older Sony Ericsson phones

The sound signature is similar to the Senns, of course the soundstage is not as large as those (which is sort of what makes those Senns so special), but at least the type of sound that these Sony's pump out is similar in spectrum to my highly untrained ears. I'll do another A/B comparision to give a better impression.

EDIT: After a quick A/B test of the HD 280 pro vs. the Sony MH1C: Similar signature, though the Sony's are just slightly warmer which also makes them slightly darker than the Senns. Instrument detail seems just a bit better on the Senns but I'm not sure if its instrument detail I'm hearing or instrument placement due to the massive soundstage from the Sennheisers. Bass is a bit more prominent in the Sonys, though I think they are pretty close to each other in accuracy.

is it possible to improve the soundstage with a mod?

to me soundstage on them is even larger than on my ie80s. 

Just go them now and on the first listen I am amazed. Such a musical sound with remote for my xperia s to boot. All I can say is im impressed. From top to bottom, I dont find this lacking. This is the real bang/buck iem. Hear them for yourselves

tnx turgid, hitme987 and joe bloggs. The info is very helpful in picking the right one... 

Thanks once again....

I have ordered MH1C from amazon and I'm eagerly waiting for it

Meanwhile I want to change my mobile (Galaxy S2) to some Xperia so that I can use all functionalities of MH1c. Further my Galaxy S2's sound quality is very poor

Could anyone in this thread let me know which has better sound quality in XPERIAs (XPERIA S or U or P or Sola....)?

Got about 30 hours on these now. Bought for the princely sum of £12.

I bought these for casual listening in the offices (podcasts and whatnot). so comfort/convenience was key. They have exceeded my expectations by some margin. 

Their bass is their weak/strong point depending on your point of view.

For the consumer it is designed for it has plenty of bass. - Win.

For more critical listening, the bass is too flabby, bass notes can bleed into one another.  - Not so great.

Timbre of drums is pretty nice too. 

To my ears, these share a lot of qualities with the GR06. For a third of the price! I still think I prefer the GR06 though. But its a close run thing. They kick the arse of the Brainwavz R1.

I have noticed I need to crank the volume on my Galaxy S3 with these also. Will try them with an iPod/E6 in a bit.

For the price I paid for these, I truly do not think they can be beat. For a £50 sticker price, I think it would be much more interesting. The soft tips are awesome as well.

The MH1 is warmer as you noted,  i would pick the MH1 over the 280 any day, the 280 to my ears is flat and boring maybe good for "monotoring" but for pure fun, the Mh1 is better.

Personaly, . i dont like the sound of the 280.  worst buy ever... for me.  dont even make start with the "Clamp Force of Death", i cant use them for more than half an hour without having a headeach.

I just got mine and initial impressions are wow.  I really wasn't expecting that much but so far it really sounds great with my smartphones.  I need more time with it obviously but you really can't go wrong with these buds especially at this price.
