The ATH-CK10 also sounds a bit flatter through the low end and midrange but treads on the brighter side of neutral, just as the EX1000 does, albeit without the benefit of dynamic-driver fullness. The GR07, on the other hand, is a touch less prominent in the midrange, sounding flatter across the spectrum and slightly more neutral in tone than the EX1000 – not a huge surprise considering its pro-oriented tuning. It is balanced very well with the bottom end, which is not quite something I can say for Audio-Technica’s dynamic flagship, the CKM99. The midrange of the EX1000 is neutral-to-bright, with a slight gain in emphasis towards the top. Not a bad tradeoff at all and one of my very favorite bass presentations among all universals. The warmer, boomier Sennheiser IE7, on the other hand, is left completely in the dust by the bass control and detail of the EX1000. Compared to the VSonic GR07, the Sonys skimp on speed just a little bit in favor a smoother and slightly softer presentation. There is no bloat and while the depth is not as immense as with the Monster MD or JVC FX700, the EX1000 is not severely rolled-off, either. In typical high-end dynamic-driver fashion, it is detailed and textured without losing body or fullness – clean, but relatively soft in the way notes are presented. The low end of the EX1000 is accurate and controlled.
What I found was a truly top-tier dynamic-driver earphone with a slight – but not unpleasant – treble tilt. Never having heard Sony’s previous flagship, or indeed any model higher up than the lowly EX300, the EX1000 was a complete mystery to me. Sound (9.3/10) – The MDR-EX1000 slots in above the studio-oriented MDR-EX800ST/MDR-7550 in Sony’s lineup, competing directly with Sennheiser’s IE8 and JVC’s FX700 for the title of top consumer-oriented dynamic. Still, I would prefer a little more ‘memory’ The fit is not as secure as with most other high-end monitors but the soft memory wire works well enough in conjunction with the cable cinch.

On the upside, the long nozzles position the driver far enough away from the ear not to cause discomfort. It is quite large and tends to protrude farther than most earphones when worn, looking a bit like the ridiculous PFR-V1.

Microphonics (5/5) – The native wear style is over-the-ear and cord noise nonexistent in the soft cableĬomfort (4/5) – Though housings designed around vertically-positioned drivers often feature angled nozzles or other ergonomic improvements, the EX1000 is actually a straight-barrel earphone. Wind noise can be an additional issue when used outside Isolation is mediocre with the standard Hybrid eartips and very slightly better with the supplied foam-stuffed tips. Isolation (2.5/5) – The nozzles of the EX1000 seem rather long but the earphones are not well-designed for deep insertion. The cord is terminated with a slim 3.5mm L-plug It can take a bit of time to settle into the desired shape and doesn’t retain form very well under its own weight. The “memory wire” section is likewise very flexible, so it is more of a “suggestion wire” in practice. It is very flexible but a little thinner than the Ortofon e-Q5 cord. The cord itself feels slightly underwhelming for a $500 product. The detachable cable is held in place by a threaded bit, which seems pretty fool-proof except that I found myself gripping the threaded bit when removing the earphones, thereby unscrewing the cable a bit each time.
