What beats Sony MDR-1R? - Page 8

Warrenpachi I do agree but if even the slightest subjectivity, like being the vector which receives informations from the object, and interpret it, can't permit the slightest objectivity in impressions, then let's say that everything I said is fully and totally subjective, ok.

Roguegeek, wasn't I talking about PREFERENCES more than objective and subjective? I wasn't even arguing about definitions you wrote, nor saying that what I said was not disputable. When you read a title, care about the little specific word, not the bigger general one. You misread my point.

I'll stick to pure subjectivity then, I didn't like the MDR-1R though I thought I'd enjoy it, and I do have personal impressions generating this. But I do believe that somebody else will love it, and get better impressions about it. Try it and do your own opinion, that is my point if I stick to pure subjectivity.

@Beagle: please just stop assuming people haven't heard the headphones just because their opinion does not line up with yours. That is very immature & childish. This is the second time you made that at assumption to me and this is the second time you have been wrong. Those types of comments do NOT contribute to the thread and make these forums into a very unfriendly environment. You are only making yourself look bad. Please stop it.

 

 

He's talking about the L1.

lol well, all my previous posts are talking about the MDR-1R. I never made any comments about the L1's sound or any claims that I heard the L1s. The only reason the L1 was mentioned was b/c I was specifically responding to Vanarian who was repping the L1s and I said that I am sure his perspective is equally very valid and the L1s are a great pair of headphones like he said.

 

I am really not sure how to respond to Beagle as this is the second time that Beagle made those types of accusatory comments at me without even fully reading/comprehending my posts. As a new member of these forums, I feel very flustered/bewildered that when I post my opinions on a specific pair of headphones, Beagle would jump into the conversation questioning whether I actually owned/heard these headphones. That seems very hostile and not very polite to me.

Beagle, it's not worth wasting your time.  Seriously.  

 

Now, back on track.  In the hot deals thread, the Sony 1R is at $189, with free shipping. (The post reflects $179.99, but it is $189.99 at the web site)  http://www.head-fi.org/t/651409/the-deals-thread-ii-read-the-first-post/825#post_9269168

Great price for a very capable pair of headphones. Don't knock 'em until you've tried them! :)

what beats a sony mdr-1r? an old, but still manufactured, cd900st

 

*runs*

Haha

Still manufactured? Huh. I thought they were discontinued.

 

Agreed.    Thanks for understanding my concern about this.

 

 

Lolol. 

 

 

+1

Can anyone compare this model with the classic sony v6/7501?

What in the world IS the difference between those two anyways?

7501? Do you mean 7506?

Yes, sorry.
 

The tonality of the 1R is very different from the V6. The V6 is grainy and a bit harsh in the highs, not a bad headphone but not as refined. The 1R is warmer and sweeter to the ears, better IMO in loud environments because the highs are not as harsh.
