Sony MDR-Z1000
$599.99
Released September, 2010
The Pros:Great noise cancellation, blocks out surrounding audio effectively. Fairly neutral audio, doesn't distort anything. Deep and tight bass that doesn't get boomy.
The Cons:Soundstage is fairly small, makes everything sound like it's inside your head. Mids tend to get a little overwhelmed, although not extremely so.
The Sony MDR-Z1000 is a high-end set of sound-monitoring headphones, the flagship offering of this product line. Designed with musicians and audio professionals in mind, this model is a step up from the lower cost MDR-V900HD model in that it has 4,000 millwatts of power handling capacity (as opposed to 3,000), and a magnesium alloy housing to prevent unnecessary vibration, for smooth bass response and a clear mid-high range.
