Hey,
 
So after spending hours reading many many threads comparing the MDR-1R's to the Momentum's, I finally decided to go for the MDR-1R's (simply because I found them for £80 cheaper).
 
In most of the reviews i've read (and on the Sony USA website), it's mentioned that the MDR-1R's are 24Ω (Ohm) at 1 kHz, but when I visit the Sony UK website (or any UK reseller) it states that they are 48Ω (Ohm) at 1 kHz. 
 
Is there really two different models? and would there be any perceived difference between the two?
 
(I will be using these un-amped and more frequently from a mobile device)
 
Thanks in advance,
Louis
