For Sound: This "branding" of In-Ear earphones or headphones is generally well a myth that doubt manufacturer.
The bass are well defined, as the centers, but unfortunately the treble is a bit wayward, something sharp, the mid frequencies takes something affected. That Sony, the better can they have shown with the MH1C. The headset makes sound MDR-EX650 APT something before - not in terms of processing.
Who does not interfere with a flat cable and a close to the ear-fitting control unit for the smartphone, can confidently pick up the MH1C (for normal mobile phones, the MH1 - without "C"). Rich bass if they are also in the music, a great stage, excellent resolution, and smooth highs without nerves as unfortunately at the EX650. In addition, more than 10 (in the plastic bag)
Design is not everything ... When the sound as the MH1C would ... I would give it 5 stars.
