MDR-M1 Studio Monitor Headphones for Music Creators
The MDR-M1 studio monitor headphones are Sony’s latest innovation for creators, sound engineers, and music professionals. Designed in collaboration with industry experts like Mike Piacentini (Battery Studios) and Akihiro Nishimura (Power Station NYC), the MDR-M1 offers studio-quality sound reproduction for professional use.
The headphones feature a closed acoustic structure for excellent sound isolation, ensuring precise monitoring in any environment. At the heart of the MDR-M1 is a uniquely developed driver unit that achieves ultra-wideband playback (5Hz–80kHz), combining a soft edge for low distortion and a hard dome for crystal-clear high frequencies.
Engineered for comfort, the MDR-M1 features low-resilience ear pads and a lightweight design, allowing for long listening sessions without fatigue. Two detachable cables – including a shorter, portable option – offer versatility for professional setups. Supporting Sony’s 360 Virtual Mixing Environment (360VME), the MDR-M1 empowers creators to work in virtual studio spaces, delivering consistency and accuracy anywhere.
FE 85mm F1.4 GM II Lens for Exceptional Portraits and Video
Sony’s FE 85mm F1.4 GM II lens raises the bar for portrait and cinematic photography. This second-generation lens features two XA (extreme aspherical) and two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements to achieve outstanding resolution and clarity while suppressing aberrations. The hallmark of the lens is its soft, stunning bokeh, thanks to the 11-blade circular aperture and spherical aberration optimization.
The autofocus (AF) capabilities are significantly enhanced, now up to 3 times faster than its predecessor, enabling precise subject tracking even during high-speed continuous shooting, such as with Sony’s Alpha 9 III. The lens is also optimized for cinematic video production, minimizing focus breathing and providing flexible operability with customizable focus hold buttons and an independent aperture ring.
Weighing just 642 grams – 20% lighter and 13% smaller than the first-generation model – the lens combines advanced technology with a lightweight, compact design, making it an essential tool for portrait, wedding, and travel photographers, as well as videographers.
Sony continues to set new standards with products that blend innovative technology, user-focused design, and uncompromising performance. From high-quality audio solutions to professional-grade lenses, Sony’s latest launches cater to diverse consumer and professional needs. With the support of Modern Home, Sony reaffirms its commitment to delivering excellence and enriching experiences for customers in Qatar.
