Sony MDR-1RBT review

 

This review assumes you know what NFC is, and assumes that you've got a NFC-enabled mobile phone to make best use of the MDR-1RBT with. If you're not sure what it is or if you've got it, read this primer on Wikipedia. See all audio reviews.

Sony’s MDR-1RBT headphones sound equally good whether you’re listening wired or wirelessly. Hooking up with Bluetooth does give a bit of a bump to bass and treble, too, as well as the convenience of no cords. The convenience of NFC - if you’ve got a...

Sony MDR-1RBT Review

 

These top Bluetooth headphones present amazing audio whether you are listening to music, talking on your phone or watching a movie. For such solid headphones, the Sony MDR-1RBT are some of the most comfortable headphones we reviewed. These headphones...

Battery life is much longer than many comparable models at 30 hours, or 200 hours on standby.

It doesn't support active noise cancellation.

The Sony MDR-1RBT headphones deliver a rich listening experience you wouldn't expect from Bluetooth headphones.

Sony MDR-1RBT

 

_Exquisite. _Soft headband. _Very good mids and highs. _Phenominal battery life. _Well built. _Responsive control buttons. _Good microphone.

_The bass does not go really low for the price. _The pouch is soft, so they may be pressed on inside a rucksack or travelling bag. _The cable is thin and not of good quality. _Annoying rubber covers for the USB and input ports. They hurt around the...
