Features

MDR-SA3000

•100 kHz reproduction The newly-developed Nanocomposite HD (High Definition) Driver Unit reproduces ultra-wideband from low to 100 kHz by only one unit.

•Super lightweight with frame structure

•Porous housing

By adopting a porous housing with a cellulose material finished to give appropriate air-flow resistance, unpleasant resonance is minimized and eliminated some weights of the unit.

•Widen headpad

By expansion of the width of the headpad to ensure wider contact area to diffuse the pressure on the head, and adoption of high elastic mesh fabric, gives a natural wearing comfort with light weight and good ventilation.

•360 kJ/m3 high power neodymium magnets are used to reproduce clear mid-range sounds and wealthy low range sounds.

•6N-OFC texture cord

6N-OFC, Oxygen Free Copper with super high-purity (99.9999%), is used for the core of the cord.

Precautions

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones with the volume turned up for an extended period of time. Doing so can damage your hearing. It is advisable to keep the volume at a moderate level at all times.

Road safety

Never use headphones while driving or cycling, etc. It can be dangerous to turn up the volume too much even while walking. Doing so may hinder your hearing and can be hazardous especially at level crossings or pedestrian crossings.

Caring for others

Remember not to disturb people around you with the sound leaking from your headphones. Keep the volume level moderate even in noisy places so that you will be able to hear other people when they talk to you.

Notes on usage

•	Do not put weight or pressure on the
	headphones as it may cause the
	headphones to deform during long
	storage.
•	Do not subject the headphones to strong
	shock by dropping or banging.
•	Handle the unit part with care.

MDR-SA1000

• 80 kHz reproduction

The newly-developed HD (High

Definition) Driver Unit reproduces

ultra-wideband from low to 80 kHz by

only one unit.

• Super lightweight with frame structure

• Porous housing

By adopting a porous housing with a

cellulose material finished to give

appropriate air-flow resistance,

unpleasant resonance is minimized and

eliminated some weights of the unit.

• Widen headpad

By expansion of the width of the

headpad to ensure wider contact area to

diffuse the pressure on the head, and

adoption of high elastic mesh fabric,

•	Do not leave the headphones in a location
	subject to direct sunlight, heat or
	moisture.
•	Leaving the plug dirty may cause sound
	distortion.
•	Clean the headphones with a soft dry
	cloth.
•	Do not use strong solvents (benzene,
	alcohol, etc) when cleaning the
	headphones. Doing so may cause
	discoloration, deformation, deterioration
	and other damages.
•	Newly developed low-repulsion urethane
	earpads work best to your wearing
	comfort at temperatures of about 10 °C or
	higher (room temperatures). The earpads
	may feel rather hard in the low
	temperature settings. This does not
	indicate deterioration of the earpads.
