It’s been a while since I’ve heard them and I’ve owned several headphones since I’ve had these, so hopefully my memory is serving me well.

For pop music they are alright, but for any serious listening I think you're going to want something different, starting with more clarity, more mid and treble focus and less muddy bass. Not to diminish the durability of these headphones, but we’ve definitely seen more durable models from Sony. here definitely gives the vocals a boost in clarity; the magnitude of the upper-mid boost is well-controlled to avoid an uncomfortably hard, aggressive upper midrange.

The headphones, it should be pointed out, were connected to one of Sony’s Hi-Def Walkman, the NW ZX300, which was only playing hi-res FLAC files.

While it is all too common to see some manufacturers boost the treble for the psychoacoustic illusion of more details, the MDR-1AM2 is a specialist in bringing forth such detail of recordings while maintaining a pleasing tonality.

The litz copper has a larger gauge, as though there are fewer strands the strands are wider, while the silver plated copper has a higher purity and the copper inside is OCC (the litz copper is NOT OCC). Lastly, you will find audio extremely close to when it was first recorded in the studio with the HI-Res audio which is known to be the closest to the original studio recording condition of the audio. At times, the bass seems to overshadow low-end detail just a smidgen, but rest assured there is still ample detail at play here. The first thing that will surprise you when holding the MDR-1AM2 in your hands is how exceptionally light they are - especially so for a pair of high-end headphones.

To be clear, I also enjoy classical, jazz and some rock music with it, its not like a stunt or gimmick bass were you just get a very loud one note drone, if there is very little bass presence in a track you don't get big bass, if there is a lot of it you really get a lot and it has good texture and tone. Because the testing occurred on a crowded show floor, it was relatively hard to make out the subtle nuances of the headphones. Both headphones are meant to be worn for long studio sessions, and their comfort level reflects that.

Music tracks with intimate vocals and subtly musical bass will benefit from this headphones, while pop tracks might still sound good, though it might bring out the best of the headphones.
