Features
Studio monitor sound for mixing and mastering
Featuring a precision-tuned open-back design, our headphones deliver unparalleled spatial accuracy, ideal for mixing and mastering in both spatial and stereo formats.
They boast High-Resolution Audio clarity and a neutral frequency response from 5 Hz to 80 kHz, crafted in partnership with top industry experts.

Comfort and design
Designed for optimal comfort, the MDR-MV1 boasts soft, breathable earpads and a lightweight aluminum build, allowing creators to immerse themselves in their work without distraction.

Carefully tuned open-back acoustic structure
With headphones optimized for spatial sound, we can use advanced signal processing and HRTF measurements in the 360VME platform (Virtual Mixing Environment) to authentically reproduce the sound field. The open-back design minimizes internal reflections, while strategic acoustic resistors manage airflow, eliminating spatial resonance.
The result? Pure, rich bass without added color.

Spatial sound recreation
Reproduce each sound’s positions and movements in 360 degrees to enable spatial sound monitoring in the headphones, virtualizing a speaker-based production environment.

High-Resolution Audio capability
With High-Resolution Audio, sound sources are rendered with pristine clarity, allowing each element to be monitored with precision. This aids in mixing and mastering, capturing the ambiance of venues and the nuances in sound details seamlessly.

Specially developed HD driver units
After extensive simulations and prototyping, Sony engineers crafted a diaphragm with minimal distortion, optimizing both its shape and corrugation design.
This ensures playback fidelity from a broad 5 Hz to 80 kHz range. Plus, the rear-ducted structure balances a crisp low-range response while preserving distinction between mid and low frequencies.

Detachable cables for professional use
The cable features a premium 6.3 mm (1/4”) stereo plug, standard in production settings. With the included adapter, it seamlessly connects to 3.5 mm (1/8”) mini jack devices. Its screw-on detachable design ensures both a sturdy connection and easy cable replacement.
