Sony is often a forgotten company when it comes to high performance headphones. In fact, many discard Sony as a mass consumption brand that specializes in cheap crowd pleasers, like the noise cancelling WH-1000. But Sony does cater to the audiophile as well.

Amazing sound quality

First thing, i got this headphone at a very good price. I think $899 is a little too much lol and if you look around you can get them cheaper. These headphones sound amazing but you really have to let them burn-in for a long time!!! This is key to make them sound their best.

Sony MDR-Z7m2

Preamble: Bought these brand new direcly from Sony Australia with my own money. Though are a ridiculous discount ($440 AUD - they are $1300 New). As Such, i will be rating these in terms of a <$500 AUD (<$350 USD) set of cans.
