I’ve gone through 3 different Sony Studio Monitor headphones.
All i can say is, wow i think I’m converting to an audiophile.
Sony’s and Bose always had pretty nice sound, but these knock it out of the ballpark.
First let me comment of the build quality. Extremely nice. The main bulk of the headphones are made of magnesium. Only thing plastic i see are the actual cups.
Sony’s are almost always made of plastic. The actual supports for the cups always broke on me, hence me going through 3 pairs.
