Experience uncompromised Hi-Res sound with
Sony’s latest development in headphones

(SINGAPORE, 5 April 2018) – Following on from the acclaimed
MDR-1A headphones that launched in 2014, the MDR-1AM2 brings a host of new and
improved features to take the premium headphones industry by storm. Sony has
built on its already established high quality listening experiences, and
improved its sound even further.

Expert sounds for the sophisticated ear

If you don’t want to
compromise on sound quality, these headphones are definitely for you. Extending
even further their Hi-Res credentials, they are compatible with up to 100kHz
frequencies playback, and also have a newly developed 40mm HD driver unit so
you can enjoy full-bandwidth sound as well as aluminium-coated liquid crystal
polymer diaphragms, supporting every fine distinction with perfect
reproduction. The 1AM2 feature a Fibonacci-patterned grill to support
ultra-high frequency ranges as well as silver-coated OFC (oxygen free copper)
for less transmission signal loss. A final benefit is the 4.4mm balanced
connection for a great connection, as well as the standard cable and improved
usability. This pair of headphones has taken learnings from the Signature Series
headphones, the MDR-Z1R, and follows the same sound direction.

Comfort is key

The headphones are lighter
than their previous model – a great advantage whether you are wearing them at
home or on the go. With this pair you can enjoy wearing your around-ear
headphones for longer, with ear pads that have been specially designed for
lasting comfort. The luxurious, comfortable synthetic leather ear pads are made
of low-resilience polyurethane foam.

The 1AM2s are introduced in
two stylish colour options – black and silver for understated elegance.

Designed in close cooperation with Kimber Kable®

The headphones come with two
cables, a standard one as well as a 4.4mm balanced-connection headphone cable
in the box, however if you want to seriously boost the sound quality that you
are listening to, the MUC-S12SB1 Kimber Kable® is the perfect match
for these 1AM2’s. The MUC-S12SB1 Kimber Kable® is compatible with
these and other single output headphones. So if you are looking for the
compatibility of balanced connection between Walkman® and Sony
headphones, look no further.

MDR-1AM2 will be available at a recommended retail price
of S$429 at all Sony Stores, Sony Centres and selected Sony authorised dealers
from April 2018.
