MSR7 [£170] OR MDR - 1A [£110] Desperately looking for advice

Check out the MDR-1ADAC, much better but more expensive.

I have MSR7 pretty accurate but a little bright sounding and can get fatiguing after prolonged use. Especially if you intend to use them in noisy environments at loud volume.

Base is fairly fast and accurate. I find them to be really good with female vocals in particular. It is not accentuated but is by no means lacking in bass.

I hear the MDR1A is warmer sounding and weighs a fair bit less so probably comfier. Passive isolation on both headphones is relatively poor, a fair bit worse on the Sony.

Padding is not thick enough on the MSR7 for me, ears touch hard plastic on the driver slightly and develop a hot spot after an hour or so of use. Not sure about the MDR-1A.

You might find clamping pressure to be a bit excessive on the MSR7 but you can bend them to reduce pressure if it is irritating, or stretch them on a tissue box overnight.

Anyway, you should take this to /hpg/

I have ATH-M50X and they are very accurate so either get them or the MSR7 for a more premium feel

I also have the MSR7 and can confirm these points
They're comfortable after a few weeks (they take a while to break in if you have a big head)

I've found them to be very accurate but the bass is fairly subdued, but in a good way as most headphones seem overdriven in terms of the low end nowadays.

They look great in brown leather, I've had them a year and have never been let down

What kind of music do you listen to?
