Any reviews on the MDR-1Rmk2? Would love to know whether its worth it as I am getting it as my first headphone =) Am currently using XBA-40 which I love it a lot, partly because it is Sony.

Just got myself a Sony MDR-1RBTMK2 for 280 Aud =D Absolutely stocked by the quality produced through bluetooth.

Definitely will post up some photos and reviews later on.

The only reason why I got the Sony MDR-1RBTMK2 over the MDR-1RNCMK2 is because of the wireless system a.k.a NFC. Trust me, both are going off on roughly the same price and I had a hard time deciding which to go for.

I tried the MDR-1RNCMK2 and I was not impressed with the quality of noise cancelling, partly because I have tried the Bose QC15 which is far superior in terms of audio and noise cancelling than the Sony's variant. My piece of advice for those who wants noise cancelling, try the Bose QC15 first before deciding.

Coming from only Sony XBA-40 as my earphone and Edifier E30 Spinnakers as my speakers, do take my review as a pinch of salt.

Initial impression of the NFC system is good, I was virtually on the headphone everywhere I went within the house and the audio is crystal clear, though there exist some jerks once within 2-3 minutes. It was also very easy to switch between bluetooth and NFC on the headphone. The earmuffs are comfortable and I don't feel tired wearing them all day long.

However, I still prefer my XBA-40's audio quality but I believe I need to let my headphone burn in more hours before I could judge further on that, which I will be post in the near future. Overall, for a bluetooth headset, I know the quality is top notch in my POV and it is hard to compare it with a wired headset.

First time spending on such expensive headsets =D


Looks cool and solid, wish it could have as much metal parts as the Sony MDR1RNCMK2


Again, I wished they come with hardcase like the Sony MDR1RNCMK2


The buttons are easily accessible but need some time to get use to it

Can't really judge on the weight but it feels slightly heavier than my Samsung S3. Without the wire, everything seems to be a breeze.

It's more like just a split second lag, that's all.

Yes, its just a split second. I used it for like an hour today and it only happened once today. Another thing I faced today is it just jumped my track, though I can't say it's totally my head phone's fault as I might have touched my Samsung S3.

Other than that, I am loving the audio quality despite the minor issues =D NFC is too cool.

Hehe I get what you meant. =) If there is any other things that you want to know just ask okay?

On a side note, very tempted to get the Sony ZX1, it's releasing this May over here in Australia

Thanks bro. How is your NC going? Really damn envious of the hardcase and flight adapter. Damn.

I can't wait man. Don't know should order or not, how much is it to be in Malaysia?

Just placed an order for the ZX 1, expected to get it in the 2nd week or 3rd week of April. =D Can't wait!

Absolutely stoked when they told me it's coming that soon.

Just got a Sony SRS-X7 today! It's pretty decent for its size, was torn between this and the SRS-X9. Will try it for a few days first before providing a review. Really love to get the Sony ZX1 as well.

Got it in Sony Australia as I am based there. I got a one to one exchange for my old speaker and top up 100 Aud for the X7 with 3 years warranty. My old speaker is the edified E30 but both are in different league.

Go for X9 then =P

Looking forward to this mp4 after my A series went haywire. Z series is too techy for me =(
