MDR-EX1000

Realizing the ultimate in precision sound is no accident-Sony® MDR-EX1000 Earbuds are

the result of a relentless pursuit of perfection in both performance and functionality.

16mm Polymer Film Diaphragm

Rigid, yet responsive Liquid Crystal Polymer Film diaphragms provide the needed strength and durability for
dynamic and balanced sound reproduction time and again…
Neodymium Magnet
Specially engineered, high-energy neodymium magnets (440kJ/m3) supply the driving force behind the Sony®
MDR-EX1000 Monitor Earbuds, delivering outstanding audio performance.
Magnesium Housing
To reinforce the compact design a special magnesium housing was created. In addition to providing significant
strength with low mass, Magnesium greatly reduces unwanted vibration providing smooth bass response and
clear mid-high range sound reproduction.
Secure Fit
In addition to flexible ear hangers, supplied Hybrid silicone earbuds, in 7 sizes, allow for a fine-tuned fit that
maximizes overall sound quality and comfort.
Noise Attenuation
Supplied Noise isolation earbuds (Sized: Small, Medium, and Large), provide not only an outstanding fit, but use a
pressure relieving urethane foam to reduce pressure within the ear canal while reducing ambient noise.
Oxygen Free
Detachable oxygen-free copper cables - 1.2m in length - provide for minimal signal loss and ultimate
performance.
