Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (High Quality Headphones to brag about!) 『The Sony MDR-F1 Headphones are a respected headphone in the industry, and for a good many number of reasons. First I would like to say that these are NOT studio headphones. They have studio quality speakers, but because they are open-air style headphones, there will be a little other background noise.
With that said I will now brag about these amazing stereo headphones. They weigh practically nothing when on your head because of the band that lifts them from your head. There is also little place where these headphones touch your head, and don't touch your ear at all. They are the standard for real and true open air style. There is no place where they even graze your ear, even with a large ear like me. They can look really cool, and they are EXTREMELY LOUD when you need them to be. They can easily be plugged into a laptop and be used as external speakers to save energy as well as increase volume level. They pair with many portable audio players, especially ones that support 8 ohm output.
But that is just comfort and style. The sound is a totally seperate story. Talk about AMAZING!! I comapred them to my friends noise-canceling Bose headphones, and there were many differences. Please note that I turned the noise-cancelation on for the tests, so give it as much help as it could get. Now I should mention that I am a real Audiophile, and can be very picky about this. I rated the sound of the MDR's on a 1-10 scale, with 1 at Discusting and 10 for Unbelievable.
For lower Frequences like a bass guitar or the main beat of a r&b song, they are number one. In there description from sony it is pointed out that they have a special driver on the speaker that aids in clarity and pronouncieation of the bass. And how amazing they work. Simply un-deniable bass from these. It made the Bose look like third-rate over-priced paper-cone speakers. 11/10 for bass.
For midtones sony did what they do normally, giving it the standard design for those mid frequencies that include slightly lower voices and classical music. But don't underestimate the beauty of Sony and mid's. However Bose out-did them here. I believe that Bose loves to get to this on most of there woofers, so I was expecting this. for the MDR's, I give it 8.5/10 for mids
The High Notes. To many this is the most important. Due to the large size of the speakers and the solid construction, the high notes came out most exelent. Even on the highest pitches, there was no hiss or the very common rattle at high notes. They are made from a solid metal frame which has taken a lot, and can take the High's very well. Now when I compared this to the Boses' I Had trouble noticing any differences, and had to get out my meter on my computer that displays and remakes frequencies to do something like this. Both are almost equal contenders, with the only difference is that the Bose will be a little quietter on the hights, but by about +/- .03 dB. Thats not much. So little that I eventually gave up and said that they were as close to perfect as any will get. 10/10.
But there is something to considder when deciding what to get. "What am I going to listen to and where?" If you are on the plane a lot and like classical music to calm your nerves then bose. If you Rock out a lot and are in school or the office a lot, the Sony's are better in this case. Plus the Range of the sound. Love that bass? sony. Cant get enough of the vocals? Bose. It is very much on taste, and since I LOVE rock of all kinds the MDR-F1's were a blessing from God. I understand that Pioneer is also coming out with a new headphone that is very simmilar to both of these combined, which is also a thing to considder. One last thing. Open-Air Design. If you like to listen to music and only the music, this is not the good style for you. But if you feel better off knowing when someone is talking to you when you are listening to music, the MDR-F1 is the answer. And both of these headphones look a little funny on some people, but very few. The sony's look awkward on a tall and thin person with a suit on and a briefcase, but the Bose's look incredibly expensive, and they are, and are not for the t-shirt wearing pedestrian or casual man or woman. Again it is all about taste.』
(best headphones ever. period.) 『To this day, I have never felt strongly enough about any product to write a review about it.
But, for anyone considering this set of headphones, i must tell you this.
You will never find a better sounding AND incredibly comfortable set ANYWHERE.
I purchased more than one just in case the one i had somehow broke.
You cant go wrong!』 『Your personal audio experience begins with Sony's MDR-F1 Full-Open-Air stereo headphones. Featuring a Full-Open-Air system for a wider stereo soundstage, a Newly Developed Extra-Large Driver Unit with an Acoustic Bass Lens, and Ecsaine head and ear pad material, these headphones bring you exploding sound and comfort as you listen. Its Magnesium Alloy Frame and Super Duralumin Headband add to its creative design.』 『The MDR-F1 full-open-air headphones provide top-end comfort and sound quality. Sony's full-open-air system gives you a wider stereo soundstage; it accomplishes this by placing the drive units at the rear of your ears, providing a more spacious sound. The die-cast magnesium alloy frame and super duralumin headband are lightweight and strong. These materials withstand both flexing and resonance. The double headband distributes the small amount of weight evenly, while the leatherette head and ecsaine earpad material provide comfortable materials for next-to-the-skin luxury. The eleven foot cord (3.5 meters) is single-sided to minimize cord tangle.
Sony has installed several key features to these headphones to make their sound quality excellent. The fifty millimeter drive units delivers a deep bass sound and a wide dynamic range (the frequency range extends down to 10 Hz.) The MDR-F1 headphones require no amplifier impedance matching hardware. Sony's Impedance Compensator equalization circuitry, built into the headphones, eliminates sound variations caused by amp impedance differences. Both the stereo mini-plug and the screw-in UniMatch plug are gold-plated to make sure sound is transported fully and accurately. The gold-plated treatment also helps resist corrosion and supports the headphones' high conductivity and low noise. High-power neodymium magnets allow for maximum power at a minimum size. Finally, the acoustic bass lens works with the PET diaphragm to deliver very deep bass sound.
Excellent fit, excellent compatibility and excellent sound: these headphones fit the bill for a sound professional. They come with a hard carrying case for transport protection.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Very Fragile) 『Audio on the FI Earphones is fair. They are at least as good as the earbuds that came with my iPod. The earclips are very fragile however and easily broken. Since iskin refuses to provide replacements after the 1 year warranty has expired you will be left with some rather expensive earphones that won't stay on your head.』
(Great for phone calls on your iPhone, but shop otherwise if you're the Autdiophile...) 『For the price, I thought they would've provided better sounding speakers, but it definitely fell short. The sound provided a thin bass, and the treble was just too flat to impress me.
Less than a year of tolerance forced me to purchase another set of bluetooth headphones that had more oomph to satisfy a more pleasurable commute on foot or on community transportation and truly maximize my iPhone's audio worth.』
(Good sound but not for travelling) 『Received them and they connected to laptop first time out. Didn't work with iPhone but I didn't expect them to. Both Windows Media Player and iTunes have to be restarted if you connect after starting players. but that is the PC or driver not the head phones.
Sound was good and range was about 25 feet with no problems. The only real problem I have with them is that they are not meant to be kept in a laptop bag or other place where they might get jostled around. After a month the cable that connects the two ear pieces broke and I now have an expensive ear piece with no stereo.
If they built these with a wrap around headset I would buy again but not while it is only the wire between the two. If you travel I don't recommend buying them unless you have a specific carrying case for them and are pretty religious about putting them away.』
(Wireless freedom, uncomfortable fit, acceptable sound quality) 『I hate having to deal with the tangle of headphone wires, so when I saw the F1 and TX+RX reviewed, I thought this is just what I needed. When using these, I listen mainly to voice (audiobooks) when using the F1s and the sound quality for this function is fine. For music, not so great. The sound is tolerable for non-critical listening (on the bus), but when compared directly with my Etymotic 6i's (same ballpark price for the package), the F1 sound is muddy and missing a lot of high-end. The earpieces don't quite fit my ears. There are two pairs of ear loops, the bigger ones are a little better, but the actual speaker part doesn't just couple well to my ear - especially when compared to the Etymotics. I have used these with Skype on my computer, and the callers tell me that the voice pick-up is very tinny compared to my usual bluetooth headset - Motorola H500. One annoying problem; every once in a while when the headphones connect with the TX, you get a full volume blast of white noise! Have to pull the TX out of the iPod and plug back in. Overall, kind of expensive, but I'll pay for the convenience.』
(Blimey, finally an iSkin product that's worth the price.) 『Don't laugh because of my title. $96.57 its an outstanding price for these ones. The only bad point about this (that's why I didn't rate this with 5 stars) its that if you want to use them with your iPod (any iPod) you have to buy the TX+RX Transmitters. Bluetooth Transmitter&receiver Speciality Wires Included In Box. A crisp-clear sound with both iPod or mobile, Bluetooth wireless and with included controls.
Conclusion: You are really paying that big quantity for a product. You won't regret it.
EXTRA: If you decide to buy the transmitter for the iPod, you are also buying a great thing, because it combines a dock reciever with both normal pin input and output. Really WORTH the price and much cheaper (The TX+RX and the F1 headphones) than the iSkin Online Store. Enjoy them. :-)』 『Nothing feels better than having the freedom to do the things we love without being tied down by wires. The CERULEAN F1 gives you the freedom of wireless sound from your iPod, mobile phone or computer. It delivers crisp, clean stereo sound and superior headset functionality in a sleek and compact design that's attractive, easy to use and feature filled.』

However, I wouldn't use this bag for shooting at events with a lot of walking or moving around.』 『Made from Ballistic Nylon for a High Tech look and great durability.

(Excellent slow motion camera, ok photos) 『Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1Y3VA7I9SJ9WVI bought this camera mainly for the high speed video capability, and I have not been disappointed. This camera's high speed video capabilities are far and away the best you can buy in this price range. In fact, I don't think there is anything on the market right now that can match these abilities even if you were willing to pay 2 or 3 times the price of the EX-F1.
High speed video The closest competitors to the EX-F1 (besides Casio's other high speed video camera, the EX-FH20) are Sony's HD camcorders that can record 240 frames per second (although not in HD) for a whopping three seconds. I've never used one of these cameras, but I have to imagine the 3-second clip length limitation is quite cumbersome to work with. The EX-F1, by contrast, is limited only by a 4 GB file size cap. High speed video (at all three speeds) takes up about 2MB/sec of recording, meaning you can record for about 30 minutes in high speed mode before you reach that 4GB file size limit. Of course, it would take 300 minutes, or 5 hours, to watch back the whole clip if you were shooting 300 fps. That's a limitation I can live with.
The 1200 fps resolution is pretty small and pixilated, but I'm still glad to see that speed is available. I use it sometimes and the results can be quite interesting even if they are thumbnail-size.
One thing you may or may not be aware of is the amount of light required to shoot high speed video. High speed video, by definition, requires very fast shutter speeds. You must use at least 1/300th, 1/600th, or 1/1200th shutter speed to shoot 300, 600, or 1200 frames per second, respectively. Basically that means you need very bright lights or daylight. I can shoot 300 fps indoors with the aperture wide open at ISO 400 using 600W of light pointed directly on the subject. Anything less than that and your video will come out dark and/or grainy. See my youtube video on the subject called "Casio EX-F1 noise level test": [...]
High speed video downsides I use this camera to shoot high speed video of things like skateboarding. I'll set up the camera on a tripod, start recording, and go try a trick. Often it takes lots of tries to land it, and if it takes me five minutes to land my trick, then I want to play it back to see how it looks. But the only way to get to the end of a video clip is to fast forward through the whole thing, and when you shoot at 300 fps, "fast forward" means about half real speed. That means I'd have to literally sit for ten minutes waiting for the camera to fast forward to the end of the clip so I can see what I just recorded. It would be really handy if there was some way to quickly skip to the part of the video you want to see, like if you could roll the dial and each click would jump 2.5% of the way though the clip, so 40 clicks would get you to the end of a video of any length. But there is no feature like that. Is someone from Casio reading this? Please add this feature or something like it.
Overall, though, I'd say this is an outstanding camera for high speed video and you won't find anything even close to it in a consumer level price range.
HD video The high definition video looks great, but the problem is I can't edit the highest resolution (1080P) video. Sony Vegas will read 1080P AVCHD files from Sony and Panasonic cameras, but not Casio. I just discovered today that Sony Vegas 6.0a will, however, read 720P HD video from this camera. Since before today I didn't know of any way to edit my HD videos, I have shot very few. I have noticed that the focusing tends to "hunt" a little bit even when shooting in broad daylight. For me, HD video is a bonus because my primary usage of the camera is for high speed video.
Photos: It may sound strange, but I have taken very few photos with this camera. I have a Canon 350D DSLR and also a Canon 5D DSLR, so I didn't buy the Casio for photos. And it's a good thing, because if your primary interest is photos, you can do better for $1,000 (try a Canon digital rebel). Of course, if you think you will have a lot of usage for the rapid-fire full resolution stills, you won't find another camera that can match that. It looks like a pretty cool feature, and I've tried it out just to see how it works, but I haven't had any real usage for that feature yet.
The macro capability is decent, but it captures the closest photos when the zoom is at its widest angle and you put the camera about an inch from your subject. Needless to say, it is quite difficult to light the subject when the camera lens is looming an inch away. You can move back a bit and zoom in, but the closest focus distance quickly increases as you zoom in, meaning you can't get as close of a macro shot.』
(Amazing technological advance) 『This camera is outrageously good. I've never been able to get the perfect picture before. The speed at which you can capture full resolution pictures makes taking perfect shots very easy. This camera is ideal for capturing fast action. Since it will literally take pictures several seconds before you push the shutter button. It is ideal for almost any situation: waterskiing, children's funny faces, capturing the perfect sports action shots, etc.
The camera has a great range of zoom and can take very good pictures in low light because the flash goes off 7 time per second to give good speed and lighting!
On top of that the video is amazingly detailed both in regular HD 1080p or in the high speed capture that shows details you've never seen before.』
(Great versatility, a bit compromised quality) 『The key features in this camera are its overall versatility and its much touted high speed video. In fact, at the time of writing this article, this is the only consumer level digital camera that can do this (some HD video cameras, such as Samsung VP-HMX20C also have this feature, but with take length limitations). Mind you, the high speed video can only be done in limited resolution. At top speed of 1200 frames per second, the resolution drops to 336× 96, which looks like viewing the action through a half-closed letterbox. As the shutter speed is high, you will also need plenty of light. Indoor lighting won't do at 1200fps, you will need daylight. At 300 fps the resolution is 512 × 384, which is OK for Youtube. Actually, if you're looking forsample videos, try searching Youtube for "EX F1".
About its versatility; this camera can do almost everything. It can go from macro to 12x - both of which also work in high speed, it can take both pictures and shoot full HD video with stereo sound. You can even take still snapshots while shooting video (not available during high speed). It has a 60fps burst shoot capacity which makes it easier to find the perfect moment. The burst shoot can also be used for "digital anti shake" which is handy for shooting distant objects at maximum zoom. I was looking for an automated time lapse feature though.
Handily, the EX-F1 saves its videos directly in H.264 QuickTime format. These pack quite well and are easy to scrub and edit. As a downside, the videos are quite heavily packed, which becomes very evident especially at 1200fps, when pixel motion gets so slow the motion estimation algorithms go overboard and cause warping.
However, whereas the high speed capacity is a nice extra the camera's designer obviously focused on, this technology comes at a price - compromises have been made to keep the price tag reasonable. The image stabilizer doesn't do its job quite as well as you would expect. The optics are not of as high quality as you would expect from a camera in this price range. The image and video packing introduces a lot of artifacts even at highest quality. The CCD is quite noisy, resulting grainy photos even in indoor lighting (considering this, a 60fps burst "digital noise reduction" mode would have been nice).
I can recommend this camera if you are primarily interested in the cool high speed video shooting ability. However, if your top priority is high quality photos, another camera may do a better job at the same price.
Make sure you get a high capacity SDHC memory card with this camera. It doesn't come with one, and HD video requires plenty (720p video fills your card at 1 Mb / second).
REVIEW REVISION, additional comment: There appears to be a lot of crosstalk between the Left and Right channels of the external microphone connector. I tried using the camera with ear-mounted binaural microphones (Soundman OKM Classik), and if I rub only the left microphone, the right channel also gets signal because of the crosstalk. This is usually not a problem, but it hampers the immersion of any binaural recordings. Casio customer support confirmed the crosstalk, but said there's nothing that can be done about it.
Pros: + Rather unique high speed super slow motion and burst shooting features + Very versatile general purpose camera for both videos and stills + Long optical zoom range + Fast to use, easy to switch from videos to stills and even take stills during video shooting + External microphone jack (with reservations, see above) + The menus are sensible and quick to access
Cons: - No time lapse shot automation (would have been cool if the "time warp" worked both ways) - The fast and sensitive CCD is rather noisy, resulting grainy photos - Poor performance in low light conditions, even when shooting normal video or taking still photos - The image stabilizer could work better - Occasionally very slow auto focus when shooting video』
(The most usable hybrid camera money can buy?) 『I owned the predecessor, not this camera, but the Casio EX-F1 looks like the hybrid camera of my dreams, *if only the viewfinder flipped out to face the front*.
This looks like an excellent hybrid camera that will fit in the palm of the hand. Though the obsession with pixels that no one uses may never fade, 6M pixels is enough for large prints and should satisfy all non pros. (And some Pros for that matter. I have sold images from my Canon EOS 6.3MP.)
The ability to take a second or two of 6M pictures and choose the frame you want to save is superb for nature, sports and news photography. I heard of a US newspaper company getting their staff to use the Panasonic AG-HVX200 in order to be able to take photo-quality video and then choose the best frame. The Panasonic Pro AG-HVX200 costs 5300 USD.
One reviewer was right to call it "Casio's Time Machine," because
You can leave this camera running all the time, taking photos all the time, and then pressing the shoot button tells it to let you select a frame from x seconds before you pressed the button!
The slow motion at 300FPS is usuable and dreamy. It will brighten up anyones sports videos or just family pictures - see that expression, that toddler walking, that splash in slow motion.
And make no mistake, Video to SD card is the business. SD cards beat the pants off tape, and mini-DVD because you can access any video you have taken in any order like files on a HD. And SD cards are becoming so cheap (now<30USD for 8GB SD cards which will shoot 2 hours of HD movie) that soon people will purchase a new SD for each shoot to keep as backup like in the days of tape. SD video is P2 for the masses, at a realistic price.
Important for me is the fact that this camera has an external microphone input so you can take good sound and allow you to do reportage and interviews. So many Japanese cameras do not have a microphone input. The comparable Panasonic Panasonic HDC-SD9 does not have a microphone so when you shoot video you pick up all the sounds in the room. Speech and language are not so important in Japan. With this camera anone can vlog an interview of reportage to vimeo or (way surpassing the quality of) YouTube from location.
The only drawbacks I see are 1) The viewfinder no longer (as did the Casio Exilim EXP505) swings around so that one can video oneself and oneself with others. I feel that this is a major drawback in a hybrid. There are few video cameras that do not allow the viewfinder to be pointed forwards.
2) For me there is too much glass. 12 telephoto lense is nice very occasionally, but how often do non-bird watchers use them? How often can we keep the camera that still? I think that "12 X Zoom" is a lot like "12M pixels," both are numbers that people obsess on, but thave have little use. So, I wish that this camera had a shorter zoom and were a bit more pocketable, with a screw on telephoto for those that need it when they need it.
3) At the other end 36mm is a bit long to be able to video oneself I suspect. That probably means that a wide angle adapter will be needed when taking video, even not of oneself, because wide means less shakey.
I almost wish that hey had kept the previos Casio Exilim EXP505 super-light, pocketable, 5x zoom body and put the extra functionality inside. That would have been the ultimate in usability for me.
I have a Sanyo Xacti HD1A 5.1MP which is a reasonable competitor. I would prefer the Casio standard-SLR (non-gun) format, build quality, picture quality and all the time-machine features of this beast. But the Sanyo Xacti HD1A 5.1MP, and its latest incarnation the Sanyo Xacti HD1010, has a swivel front facing view-finder, so I will be staying with Sanyo at least until the next Casio comes out.
If you are looking for a good quality digital still and video camera all in one, and you don't video yourself, I recommend you purchase this Casio.』

『The addition of a lens hood can help prevent flares--those circles of light that can accompany images where a strong light source is just outside the fame.
