Perfect mix of breakthrough audio and design

The MDR1RNC series lets you experience sheer audio bliss with liquid crystal polymer film diaphragms, and impressive bass sounds with beat response control.

Dual Microphones For Powerful Digital Noise Cancelling Performance

Sony's Dual Noise Sensor Technology combines Feedback and Feedforward Microphones with a digital noise cancelling software engine to eradicate external noises, for a truly immersive audio experience.

Superb Sound Accuracy And Balance

Unique to Sony, the S-Master Amplifier is designed for exceptional sound accuracy, clear signal separation and balanced audio reproduction via a digital-to-digital process. What you get is clean, crisp sound and a realistic audio experience, just like the original recording.

Enjoy crisp, natural sound on the MDR1RNC with DSEE technology. DSEE significantly improves sound quality by restoring high-frequency sound usually lost in compressed audio files.

A More Comfortable Fit

Generic headphones offer an outward axis structure, inhibiting comfort and wearability. The MDR1RNC's unique inward axis structure ensures that the headphones conform to the shape of your head, for a snug fit. Zero-Distraction Audio

The MDR1RNC is constructed with silicon rings for smooth, silent movement. This minimises mechanical rattling for pure, unadulterated sound.

Balanced And Accurate Sound

A breakthrough in audio technology, the liquid crystal polymer film diaphragm is designed to balance rigidity and high levels of internal loss, resulting in minimal vibrations. Your music comes through perfectly balanced, with accurate sound reproduction.

Comfortable, Pressure-Relieving Cushions

Comfort is just as important as solid sound quality. That's why our pressure-relieving cushions are tailored for your ears. They not only provide a comfortable wrap-around feel, but also help to seal in music, preventing sound leakage.
