Quote: I couldn't agree with you more. They have good sound for what they are, but not for the price. For the quality of the headphones you should be paying between $100-150 in my opinion. The mids are quite recessed and the treble isn't producing as significant highs that I want. They are...

That is a steal. Contemplating picking up another pair...

I managed to score my MDR-1Rs for $200 on here. Which was an awesome deal. They're selling for about $250 on ebay if you are interested. I paid $200 for my COPs as well.

Ok, so I just got my housemate to tell me which one leaked more sound. I did this via plugging my headphones into my stereo and measuring the DB difference. The issue I have is that the MDRs are easy to drive, so they take less juice for louder sounds at lower DB inputs.   The MDR-1Rs aren't...

I'll perform a test tonight with my housemate. I think off of my head they're so close you can't tell, but I'll do some testing to give you a proper response.

Quote:   I currently own both of these cans and I can tell you without a doubt that the MDR-1R's are much more neutral sounding, much easier to drive and way more comfortable. They're more portable and to my ears they just sound other worldly amazing in comparison to the COPs. Since using...

So, I my new 1Rs arrived today. Well, what can I say, they blow the COPs out of the water with sound quality and driveability and that's just out of the box!. Thoroughly impressed and really grateful for your input here. It means a lot to me. I can finally let my tired ANC7s rest. I'm going to...

Thanks heaps for your reply. I had given up on this thread, and purchased some Custom One Pros. While they are nice sounding headphones, they are too muddy for my liking. I'm going to look into the 1350 or the 1R possibly pick them up. How do they rate in comparison to the ANC 7s low power...

Do the ultrasone 750s need amping? I'm now trying to find a solution that's going to cost me roughly $200 or less. I hastily got the COPs after reading all the praise. I find the COPs have so much bass that a lot of the mids to trebles are shrouded and unclear. I guess I'm going to need cans...

Quote:   I'm noticing how muddy these are. They do sound great for some songs, but I find myself switching to the first and second positions for others. They sound good for what they are. Unfortunately they haven't out shined my ANC 7s which is a bit of a let down. I may keep them for a...

Hi guys,   Posting in here as I finally ordered mine. Pretty excited and since listening to that Saturn song my impatience has kicked in. I ordered the COPs today, from the US (I live in Australia). No one on Amazon would ship internationally at the $140-170 prices I saw, so I had to order...

Hi all,   I've been lurking Head-Fi for a couple of months now, reading up on your reviews of over ear headphones. The reason why I'm making this post is that I'm not much of an audiophile and I would like to gain some advice. Recently my current headphones have finally started...
