Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Old gold, but don't pay more than $20 for this

 

I wanted to rate it 2 stars, but would have been flamed if I did that. There is also the fact that I got it cheap, and you can too. I have no real complaint against this headset other than its price. When it was introduced, it was value for money....

Good bass, clear sound, sturdy flat tangle-free cable, handly controls, microphones are better than that of stock IEMs

these days you can find better SQ at much cheaper cost, requires powerful amp

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Excellent sound quality with lots of detail on a product that could be better designed

 

These are really good-sounding IEMs, a little bit on the bass-side but very balanced and detailed, both in micro and macrodynamics. You should expect to be surprised by how such little IEMs with such a little driver (5,8mm) can produce such a big and...

Sound quality, value, mic and controls work with Nokia Lumia

Flat cable, J-cord design, size and placement of the controls/mic pod

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Cheap sturdy fun

 

I've had these Sony MH1C's for quite a while now - which in itself says something about their durability, and I've grown to like them. 1 First things first though, let's start of by saying that these IEM by no means compare to competitors twice their...

Fun sound, excellent isolation, durable, good looking

Awkward cable, not neutral, limited acessories

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Great sound for earphones under 100$

 

Great sound for the money you pay. It the beginning i used them only on the desk and i hated that right cable is longer than left. But later i started wearing it out in the street, subway, etc. and i find this very useful.

Deep bass, good middle, balanced sound.

Middle can be a little better ...

Very decent for the price

 

After a month of use: After getting used to this IEM I do think they are very decent. After a few hours of listening they now sound much warmer with good bass response, mids and highs are decent. They are very, very warm and have a lot of color to...

Decent sound stage, price

Cord, microphone placement

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Great sounding earphone for its price. But comes with a lot of setbacks too.

 

Build: Build quality is decent. But the J-cord flat cable is a nightmare. It's so bad that I would consider it as a deal-breaker. First of all, I have no problem with J-cords. But for a J-cord with stiff flat cable? It's possibly the worst combination...

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Excellent, especially for the price

 

First of all, I would like to thank H20Fidelity for lending me his pair of MH-1Cs. Recently, there has been much hype about the Sonys and finally, I got an opportunity to listen to them. From what I've read, they just come with the IEMs and 1 pair of...

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Great sound. Amazing Value

 

So these are the FOTM, but for good reason. For 30 bucks, you get a fatigue free, dynamic sounding IEM. The soundstage is decent for this price bracket, instrument separation is good, sub bass extension is quite insane and they are built extremely...

build quality, distortion free sound, no sibilance, decent soundstage

a bit too bass heavy, mids/vocals sound veiled, J-cord is a PITA

Excellent Sounding IEM

 

Sounds way better than Sony Ex-300 (mids and treble), Soundmagic Mp21 (soundstage, details, overall)

Extended treble, micro details, value

Cable, Isolation, microphonics

The Queen of Warmth / The King of Value

 

I really can't believe I am taking my time off a super busy weekend to type up a review of the FOTM Sony MH1C (while I wait for my RE-272s ). For firsts, I am not an ace reviewer, and I regret reading my previous reviews. I think I just belong to the...
