    Are the Sony MDR1/A worth it for me if I have EX1000’s?

    The EX1000 is my most premium headphone I have, dont have cans and I like Sony alot, always wanted a pair of MRD1’s, would they be better or equal in general sound to the EX1000’s?

    I have expensive headphones but no amp...

    So I have been into headphones for a long time but never had the money to get the more expensive stuff so I always used my phone. Now that I have a good job and the money to spend I went out and got myself a Sony EX1000 and they sound great with my iPhone X, I always hear about amps and iem’s...

    Sony EX1000, is it really that awesome?

    Been on here for years, love everything headphones and I have learned so much on these forums, Sony is always a brand I have been partial too and I have everything from the XBA series to the XB series and even a few EX models I believe. My favorite has probably been the XBA3/30, perfect size...

    Sony MDREX110.

    Paid $30 for these, I have to say never underestimate "cheap" headphones, decently loud, bass is not as refined as the higher end in ears but its nice and punchy, Mids are solid as well, highs are also pretty good, soundstage is also not too bad, especially since these offer a good seal and are...

    Sony xb90ex in washing machine...

    Sigh, nearly $100 down the drain, its funny because they still work but there are a few things. The soundstage is not as big as before. The bass is SO tiny and just meh now. It does not go as loud as before. Overall sounds tiny and a bit muffled. Im not sure they sound like a cheap pair off...

    Finally learned my lesson with iems.

    The lesson? That price does not make the iem in most cases, I have spent up to $250 on iems and in the end here I am with my $100 Sony XB90 (retails for $60). Its funny because these are supposed to be extra bass and sure they are but the rest of the frequencies are just as good, the build and...

    Sony EX600 vs 7550

    From what I hear the 7550 has a shorter cable hanger, higher quality cable?, different design obviously. As for sound, that is what I am really interested in, the ex1000 is too expensive and even the 7550 is about $230 for me, I can get the ex600 for about $170 which is a big plus for me. So...

    Does anyone here actually earbuds?

    I personally dislike them very much, I used to use iphone buds back when I knew nothing about headphones but ever since discovering in ears I cant stand them, I want isolation!

    high end iems not as "high end" as I thought?

    So something just happened now that makes me question all this spending on HQ iems, so I was going through some old stuff in my drawer and came across these from my old sony ericsson phone.  ...

    Can someone give me the rundown on the GR07 series?

    They seem to be popular on here but I see the gr07, gr07 classic, mk2, bass edition, classic 2014, geez how many models are there lol? What are the qualities of these versions, and how is the GR07 classic as its only $99 on eBay.

    Looking for the most balanced detailed Sony IEM's.

    Ok so I got my xb90's, loving them, the bass and soundstage is so awesome, with that being said I want the opposite as well, I know people recommend the ex600/7500/1000 line but they are expensive and I am not looking for that type of fit, there is the re400 but I kinda wanna stay sony, any...

    Somy XB90EX Review.

    Sony XB90EX Review This is not gonna be super in depth but just a small review and a comparison to the Sony XBA30. Ok so first thing I noticed when unboxing, wow they are big! Definitely much bigger than the 30. Build/Comfort Impressive, very impressive actually, as huge as they are they fit...

    Is driver size that big a deal?

    So I recently bought the xb90ex which is a whopping 16mm, I have yet to receive them but I hear the bass and sub bass as well as the soundstage is incredible. Now take a look at these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111118641512 They are 9mm, so can I assume a more relaxed and balanced sound from...

    Relaxed sounding headphones.

    I recently ordered the Sony xb90, huge bass and soundstage, very loud and intense, what could be the yang to this yin? What would be the total opposite, something to sit at home and just relax and drift away, no thumping bass, just cool calm and relaxed.

    Open dynamic iems.

    Iems like the ex1000 are said to be "open and airy sounding", what does this mean? I will be getting the ex90 (not sure if they are open) soon so that will give me some experience with dynamics as I have only experience with balanced armature. So what is closed vs open and what does an open...

    What does the frequency response in an iem do?

    I notice that the xba3 has a frequency response of 4-28,000hz while the xba30 has 4-25,000. What does this mean? Which is better?

    What should be my next iems? The Sony XB90 or Sony EX600?

    I currently have the XBA30 and they are great, nice balanced sound, everything is nice and nothing is too overpowering, good for modern music and all genres. Now I have been looking into the ex600 and xb90 for some time, both 16mm dynamic but different purposes. The XB90 looks to be a good all...

    For owners of the EX1000.

    I think this is my next iem and I have a few questions. Is there sound leakage? Is isolation THAT bad? Is the SQ worth the close to $500 asking price? Is comfort good? Where would you rank it of all the iems you have owned? I only ask because 400-500 is a lot of money but it seems that the...

    As far as sound quality what are the major differences?

    Sony XBA series to cans, would it be a difference?

    I am thinking about the Sony MDR-1R to go along with my xba-3, would it be a major difference in sound?

    Anyone here try the XBA2 or XBA20?

    I have always been curious about these especially since I tried the 1,3 and 4. I would imagine they are probably the xba1 but with tighter bass.

    Help me understand sound better!

    So I still don't quite understand the high, mid and low of songs, like when I wear headphones how can explain to people how the headphone sounds in these areas if I barely even understand what is what.   So I thought this would be a good way to figure it out with your help, I will post a few...

    Should I give the re400 another chance?

    I bought them a few months ago but returned them, they were very balanced which I like and the detail was super impressive, what I felt was lacking was clarity though, perhaps after burn in they get better? My only iem is the xba3 which is balanced armature so I never noticed a change ...
