Enjoy the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound in higher-than-CD quality with High-Resolution Audio. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker, so it feels like the artist is performing right in front of you.
Feel power and precision in your favourite tracks
Give your music the purity it deserves. With a frequency range extending up to 100kHz, the High-Resolution Audio MDR-1A headphones capture the true essence of each track – so you’ll hear music that’s closer to the original studio master. From deep beats to soaring vocals, sound stays true for an authentic and precise experience.
Enjoy fine acoustics from a large driver and earcups that seal comfortably around your ears.
Hear deep lows and euphoric highs with a full range of sound up to 100kHz.
Play music loud and clear from any home system or portable device with high sensitivity of 105dB/mW.
Every subtle note, precisely reproduced
Tune in to clear, balanced sound that stays true to the original recording, no matter how high you turn up the volume. A 40mm HD driver with a light but rigid aluminium-coated liquid crystal polymer (LCP) diaphragm gives a more consistent and precise sound across the entire frequency range than a conventional LCP driver.
High-Resolution Audio refers to a collection of digital processes allowing the encoding and playback of music using higher sampling rates than those used in CDs.
High-Resolution Audio typically records at 96kHz/24 bit or even 192kHz/24 bit – much higher than CD.
While CDs and MP3s top out around 20kHz, High-Resolution Audio supports frequencies above 24kHz (as high as 100kHz on this model) and a wider dynamic range.
