The Bluetooth Headphones to Beat
on May 31, 2013
Posted by: gsimonds
These headphones are terrific. I've tried many others, including the gimmicky Ziks, and as far as sound quality and comfort, the 1RBTs are the head of the class. Sure, they are pricey, but you get what you pay for. I would have liked more metal in the build for the price, but the plastic seems durable enough. Most importantly, the sound is the best I've heard. They are not bass cannons, but there is plenty of clean bass that doesn't junk up the mids/highs. I'm no audiophile, but I am very particular with wireless headphone sound, and the sound even improved after a short 5hr burn in. The range was excellent on the BT, as I was able to much further than any other BT device I own. I did not notice any static or cutoffs at 10m even through several walls.
What's great about it: Sound quality, connectivity, looks/style, comfort, range
What's not so great: Price, plastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great sound quality. No difference between wired and wireless. Would happily recommend. As mentioned in cons there is only a soft cover case and the charging wire is only about 2ft but nevertheless still very happy with this sony product. Wireless setup was very simple and easy.
What's great about it: great sound quality, bluetooth connection works great
What's not so great: soft cover case, short charging wire
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Headphone
on December 27, 2013

I am not an audiophile, just someone that enjoy music. The headphone really has excellent sound quality. I really enjoy it. I did extensive research in comparing these to the Beats Studio Wireless. The sound is definitely comparable for sure. I also tested this using the same songs, with a Harman Kardon wireless BT headphone as well. The treble sounds better than the Beats as well as the HK. The only problem I have is the bass, the other two had more bass. With the bass booster on when listening to music, it solved that problem though. I did however wish that the bass was higher prior to turning on the bass booster in whatever program I was using to play music. I love these headphone and lug it everywhere with me. I have also recently taken it on an airplane and I can say that it tunes out majority of the wind noise while still retaining sound clarity when watching a movie. I actually love the material that was used as well. The others were made and felt plastic and cheap compared to these MDR-1RBTs. The Beats will have finger print all over it while the HK just felt really plastic-y. These also felt the best and comfortable, especially when I have it on for hours in my office or when I'm playing games at home. The best part is that the battery life. Doubles the length of usage and last the longest out of anything that I have seen out there. I am not sure if the price justifies it but it comes pretty close to the best thing you can get out there, from what I heard, the Parrot Zik.

Love them

They have excellent sound and the tight cushion fit blocks out noise at the gym to the point it's not noticeable. No problem with the Bluetooth connecttion. They work great with my iPhone 5 in the gym and my car stereo.

Crisp Sound from a very portable Wireless Headset
on May 12, 2014
Posted by: JASONREY
I have bought wireless headphones as I had bad experiences with wired earphones as they always at least one of them will either stop working in a few months maybe because of the stress the wires undergo due to stretching or simply due to careless handling. I was scouting for different wireless headphones in the market like that from Audio-Technica, Creative, BEATS and SONY. I chose SONY MDR1RBT as I was impressed with its aesthetic appearance and the technical specifications. I would have wanted the MDR10RDC Noice Cancelling Model but because it is not wireless, I decided to forgo it. So far I have used this RBT headphones on my flights and work-outs in the gym and it has not disappointed me. The cushions applied to the area near my ears provide acoustic comfort and in a way it blocks the noise outside. The mechanism wherein you can swivel the earcups flat to your chest appeals also to me as it enhances portability. A good buy indeed!

Really Nice Headphones
on July 15, 2014
Posted by: pchoi95
I was a bit iffy about these headphones since I was assuming Bluetooth connection meant bad sound quality. It proved me wrong. These headphones are completely worth the $250 that I paid for it. The fake leather padding is much softer than expected, and it has caused me no discomfort thus far. I've been using these on a regular basis for the past month, and the headphones seem to be quite sturdy. No scratches, no cracks, no separation of any parts so far. Although, the ear cups sometimes have to be angled in a certain way to make it so that the mesh doesn't push up onto your ears too much. That's my only complaint, and it's hardly a complaint. They are tight enough to stay on your head while being loose enough to keep your head from popping. Long term use is no problem, but the ear cup padding might get somewhat moist.
Overall, the best headphones I've used.
All ranges of sound are clear, and they have a really good frequency range. I'd recommend this to anyone who was planning to buy a pair of worthwhile headphones.
