this is the headphone for you if you want great audio quality for a cheap price.    Ive owned a few beats by dre over heads and i can say this headphone beats them all..... it may not be bass orientated but it certainly performs well over a wide genre.   Ive had for just over two years...

what can i say, the first serious IEM i ever owned. makes all the other IEMs I've ever listened to sound like ****, and i pack some decent sounds (XBA-3,XBA-4, EX1000)

You will not be disappointed with these.

These came free with my phone, and they are probably the best pair of headphones that ever came with a phone.   The general feel is that these are just very decent headphones for a wide range of music genre. You won't be disappointed but it won't be enough for any audiophiles.

When I first saw these I thought to myself, wow! They just looked fantastic and I had to own a pair.   I got them 40% cheaper because of my profession, and when I first tried them on, it was like a bomb had set off in my ears. It was definitely not worth the price even with 40% discount.  ...

Coming from balanced armature earbuds, I found this headphone a rather enjoyable transition.    I own the PIIQ2, Beats Solo HD, and this definitely fits into another category. The overall impression of the MDR-1R is it is very comfortable piece of hardware with a very warm sound signature...
