- [DR-6M](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-dr-6m.md)
- [DR-S3 + Aftermarket SRH840 Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/dr-s3-+-aftermarket-srh840-pads.md): Left channel is faulty - it sounds like the voice coil or diaphragm is partially delaminating from the diaphragm or speaker basket, low bass is buzzing very slightly.
- [DR-S7](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/dr-s7.md): (Heavy Smoothing applied)
- [DR-S100 武道館 Boodo Khan](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/drs100-wu-dao-guan-boodo-khan.md)
- [DR-Z6](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-dr-z6.md)
- [MDR-1R](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-1r.md): Based
- [MDR-30](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-30.md)
- [MDR-102](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-102.md): Lack of any bass means no diamonds. Mids and treble are actually tolerable.
- [MDR-401](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-401.md)
- [MDR-7505](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-7505.md)
- [MDR-7506](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-7506.md): Channel imbalance seems to be poor coupling with shallow pads + miniDSP EARS jig.
- [MDR-7510](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-7510.md)
- [MDR-7510 + Z1000 Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-7510/mdr-7510-+-z1000-pads.md): Almost no difference from stock.
- [MDR-CD777](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd777.md)
- [MDR-CD780](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd780.md): The treble peak kills this headphone for me
- [MDR-CD900ST](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd900st.md): This is legendary for a good reason... just a bit uncomfortable :(
- [MDR-CD900ST + aftermarket MDR-1A Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd900st/mdr-cd900st-+-aftermarket-mdr-1a-pads.md): A bit too much energy at 3-5KHz, and missing some sub-bass
- [MDR-CD900ST + aftermarket ATH-M50 Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd900st/mdr-cd900st-+-aftermarket-ath-m50-pads.md): Too much energy at 3KHz, but it's fine
- [MDR-CD900ST + aftermarket Z1000 pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd900st/mdr-cd900st-+-aftermarket-z1000-pads.md): Almost no deviation from stock measurement - comfort is improved
- [MDR-CD900ST + aftermarket leather CD900ST pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd900st/mdr-cd900st-+-aftermarket-leather-cd900st-pads.md): It's fine I guess, but the magic of the original tuning is totally lost
- [MDR-CD999 + old stock pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd999-+-old-stock-pads.md): Pads are flaking and have split, so likely bass is missing and mids are emphasized too much
- [MDR-CD999 + W820BT Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd999-+-old-stock-pads/mdr-cd999-+-w820bt-pads.md): This.
- [MDR-CD999 + Z1000 Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd999-+-old-stock-pads/mdr-cd999-+-z1000-pads.md): Very close to target.
- [MDR-CD999 + Aftermarket HA-SW01 Pad](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd999-+-old-stock-pads/mdr-cd999-+-aftermarket-ha-sw01-pad.md): Generic aftermarket pad - too warm.
- [MDR-CD1000 (aftermarket pads)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd1000-aftermarket-pads.md): These pads kinda suck - a bit of extra foam in front of the driver cleans things up a lot!
- [MDR-CD1700 (sample 1)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-cd1700.md): This is the 'bassy' variant. It's basically neutral.
- [MDR-CD1700 (sample 2)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-cd1700/mdr-cd1700-sample-2.md)
- [MDR-CD1700 (sample 3)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-cd1700/mdr-cd1700-sample-3.md): Very sweet sound
- [MDR-CD1700 (Sample 1) Aftermarket Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-cd1700/mdr-cd1700-sample-1-aftermarket-pads.md): 8kHz peak is very spicy - not recommended
- [CD1700 Sample Averages Compared](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-cd1700/cd1700-sample-averages-compared.md): Sample 1 & 3 are both preferable.
- [MDR-CD1700 + V700 Driver 🛠️](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-cd1700/mdr-cd1700-+-v700-driver.md): Just a fun driver transplant comparison
- [MDR-CD2000 (sample 1)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd2000-sample-1.md): Copy 1 - with new foam
- [MDR-CD2000 (sample 2)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd2000-sample-1/mdr-cd2000-sample-2.md): Copy 2 - With old foam
- [MDR-CD2000 New vs Old](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd2000-sample-1/mdr-cd2000-new-vs-old.md): Sample 1 has new foam. Sample 2 has old, yellowed foam
- [MDR-CD2000 (sample 1) + Aftermarket Hifiman Velour Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-cd2000-sample-1/mdr-cd2000-sample-1-+-aftermarket-hifiman-velour-pads.md): A fair replacement pad.
- [MDR-F1](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-f1.md)
- [MDR-M77](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-m77.md): Bright, but technically competent
- [MDR-SA3000](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-sa3000.md)
- [MDR-SA3000 + Peerless HPD-50N25PR00-32 Drivers](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-sa3000/mdr-sa3000-+-peerless-hpd-50n25pr00-32-drivers.md): Sounds pretty good.
- [MDR-SA5000](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-sa5000.md): I think neither pad is ideal, but both gives a rough idea of the possibilities
- [MDR-V5 - Aftermarket Pads v2](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v5-aftermarket-pads-v2.md): Thinner aftermarket pads - less boomy than other thicker pads.
- [MDR-V5 - aftermarket pads v1](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v5-aftermarket-pads-v2/mdr-v5-aftermarket-pads-v1.md): Aftermarket pads are deeper than stock giving a stronger bass response
- [MDR-V6 + Z1000 Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v6-+-z1000-pads.md)
- [MDR-V6 + Z1000 Pads + Comfort foam mod](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v6-+-z1000-pads/mdr-v6-+-z1000-pads-+-comfort-foam-mod.md): Adding some closed-cell foam inside the 'rear' of the ear pads improves comfort a lot but does not change sound quality much.
- [MDR-V6 + Old flakey pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v6-+-z1000-pads/mdr-v6-+-old-flakey-pads.md): Original old pads with lots of flaking - always use good quality pads for best sound
- [MDR-V7](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v7.md): Too much treble energy at 10KHz spoils the mood.
- [MDR-V7 + Z1000 Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-v7/mdr-v7-+-z1000-pads.md): Much more neutral with these pads, and treble peak is smoothed out nicely. Only missing treble extension which is significant. More bass than CD900ST but worse treble. A worthy tradeoff for some.
- [MDR-V700](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-v700.md)
- [MDR-V700 + MDR-1A Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-v700/sony-mdr-v700-+-mdr-1a-pads.md)
- [Sony MDR-V700 + HA-MR77X Pads](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-v700/sony-mdr-v700-+-ma77x-pads.md): Just trying stuff out to see what sticks...
- [MDR-V900](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-v900.md)
- [MDR-W10](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-w10.md): Is it an earbud? Or is it a headphone? Nobody knows... THICC sound. Resolution is lacking.
- [MDR-XB500](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-mdr-xb500.md)
- [MDR-XB700 (old pads)](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-xb700-old-pads.md): Ear pads don't seal properly anymore, so there will likely be some artefacts from that.
- [MDR-ZX110](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/mdr-zx110.md): Not a dumpster fire, but can do better for the price
- [PFR-V1](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/pfr-v1.md)
- [VIP-1000H](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/sony-vip-1000h.md): Essentially this is an “ear speaker + DSP" - the graph should not be read as a headphone graph, but more like a (near field) loudspeaker graph. Smoothing applied for readability.
- [WH-1000XM5](https://itsgreq.gitbook.io/headphone-measurements/sony/wh-1000xm5.md)
