Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread
Jul 30, 2021 at 9:01 AM Post #961 of 1,177
Thank you very much for your advice , 2 days more I will receive ZX507 and MDR 1AM2 for streaming and playing digital files. One more question , will you prefer WAV or FLAC files for Electronic Music ? , I see it same price on store, thank you !!!
For the Walkman, personally I prefer FLAC. You may have different preference -- wav just uses a lot more space than I am willing to invest in. Most of my music purchases that load onto Walkman are albums and not so much DJ sets since not everything is in wav.

Hey to all. Buyer's dilemma: MDR-1AM2 OR WH-1000XM4 for the same price? Sound quality and comfort are my main criteria. I was thinking of going with the latter for the wireless convenience/features but I will be using them mostly at home for music listening and the occasional call, wired too, if significant quality gains.

*I have the mdr-1a and love them but they are in a bad state.

I've had the 1AM2 for a couple years now - got mine like new from eBay for like, $140 - which was a steal back then! They were my main units for most of that time but are now the backup units to my ZMF Eikon - since the ZMF got sent in for a service they are back to daily use - they're no ZMF for sure, but for the price I think the Sony's are fantastic - super lightweight, comfy and quite a good, natural balanced sound. They get paired with a Fiio M11 Pro currently, which is a wonderful device.

sounds like mdr-1am2 is more your cuppa of tea, however, these are strictly music headphones, no microphone, on the other hand wh-1000xm4 has microphone to take calls
