Sony MDR-1RNC review: excellent noise cancellation

Stefan Mileschin · 17th January 2013, 06:39

All things considered, we were pretty impressed by the MDR-1RNC. Generally speaking, the headphones sounds excellent, even if they’re not the best we've ever heard. The lows are a little too weak, and this will be noticeable to those that enjoy bass-heavy music. For the majority of genres these headphones will be great, however, and that's supplemented by the extremely effective noise cancellation. The latter does affect the sound signature, but it's something you can live with. If you frequently travel in noisy environments, you will definitely appreciate the silence created by the 1RNC.
