Sony MH755 (Fake) Headphones Review

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have a non-descript look with thin white audio cables and orange ear tips. The right driver's audio cable is noticeably a bit longer than that of the left driver. This design is meant so that you can wear the right cable behind your neck, which helps keep the headphones from falling on the ground when you're not using them. Since these headphones are counterfeit, they may come in other colors.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have a decently comfortable fit. They're lightweight, don't have a deep in-ear fit, and don't put too much pressure on the inside of your ears. However, their cable is very short, and it can easily get hooked on something, especially as the cable is longer on the right side than the left side.

These headphones have an outstandingly breathable fit, which is to be expected from in-ear headphones. They don't trap in much heat, and you shouldn't notice an increase in temperature, even if you've been wearing them during moderate physical activity.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones are exceptionally portable. They're small, lightweight, and should easily fit into most pockets or bags without an issue. However, they don't come with a pouch or a case to help protect them when you're on the go.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have a just okay build quality. Overall, they feel cheap and plasticky. The cable is really short, and they lack an IP rating for water resistance. That said, some users have pointed out the differences between this model and the real Sony MH755:

• The serial number: If the serial number starts with 15, it's probably a fake unit.
• The color of the headphones: Genuine headphones may have a white cable, as we can't confirm if all black models are fake.
• The earbud's back casing: If you can easily remove the back casing, the unit is probably counterfeit.
• The location of the garbage bin symbol on the label: A genuine model has this symbol on the bottom of the label, not the top.
• The cable length: If the audio cable is very short, it's probably a fake unit.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have decent stability. The audio cable is very short, and it's easy for them to get snagged on something. That said, their in-ear fit is pretty stable.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones are counterfeit headphones and may not have the same profile as the genuine Sony MH755. It's also important to note that there could be variations in sound performance across different pairs of counterfeit headphones. Since counterfeit headphones are made by a range of different manufacturers, our results only reflect our pair. Also, while there may be genuine products on the market that were made by Sony, there's a potential for some headphones to be 'B-grade' stock and have defects or damage which could affect their performance.

These knock-offs have a very v-shaped sound profile. They deliver extra thump, rumble, and boom to your mixes. Vocals and lead instruments are bright and sparkly, although they seem a bit weak. However, some users may find their mixes sound muddy. They also don't have an EQ to tweak their sound to your liking.

The frequency response consistency is outstanding. As long as you achieve a proper air-tight seal using the assorted tips included with the headphones, you should get consistent audio delivery each time you use them.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have unremarkable bass accuracy. It's overemphasized across the range, resulting in intense thump, punch, and boom. However, some users may find their mixes sound very muddy.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones' mid accuracy is good. There's some overemphasis that extends from the high-bass into the low-mid, which makes mixes sound muddy and cluttered. In comparison, the mid and high-mid are underemphasized, nudging vocals and lead instruments to the back of your mix and weakening them.

The treble accuracy is great. The low-treble is fairly neutral, so the upper harmonics of vocals and lead instruments are detailed and present. The mid-treble is slightly overemphasized, which can make sibilants like S and T sounds a bit piercing.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have okay peaks and dips performance. A peak in the high-bass adds extra boom to mixes, which may sound a bit muddy. An uneven mid-mid mostly nudges vocals and lead instruments to the back of the mix, although it can also push their upper harmonics forward. Another dip in the high-mid weakens vocals and lead instruments, while a large peak in the low-treble can harshen these sounds. A peak in the low-treble makes sibilants like cymbals sound piercing.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have an outstanding imaging performance. The group delay response falls below the audibility threshold, resulting in tight bass and transparent treble reproduction. The L/R drivers are also well-matched in amplitude, frequency, and phase response, which is important for accurate placement and localization of objects, like footsteps and instruments, in the stereo field. However, a peak in the phase response's mid-mid may be audible for some users, depending on the content you're listening to. Note that these results are only valid for our unit, and yours may perform differently.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have a bad passive soundstage, which is to be expected from in-ear headphones. Creating an out-of-head and speaker-like soundstage is largely dependant on sound activating the resonances of your outer ear. However, in-ear headphones fully bypass the outer ear. As a result, their soundstage doesn't feel very large or immersive. Since they have a closed-back design, their soundstage won't be as immersive as open-back earbuds like the Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have a good weighted harmonic distortion performance. There are a couple of peaks at both normal and high listening volumes in between the high-mid and low-treble. However, this can be hard to hear with real-life content. That said, the rest of the ranges fall within good levels, resulting in fairly clear and pure audio reproduction.

These are the settings used to test these headphones. Our results are only valid when used in this configuration.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones have a passable noise isolation performance. Since they don't have active noise cancelling (ANC), they rely on their passive isolation capabilities to block out sound. That said, while they have a hard time isolating the low rumble of bus and plane engines, they do a better job of reducing ambient chatter. They can also significantly cut down the high-pitched hum of an AC unit.

The leakage performance is excellent. A large amount of the leakage is narrowly concentrated in the treble range and sounds thin. If you're listening to audio at high volumes in a moderately noisy environment like an office, it's unlikely that others around you should hear it.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones use a 1/8" TRS cable. However, it's much shorter than that of the genuine Sony MH755. The cable going to the left earbud is 18.9 inches (48cm) long, while the right earbud's cable is 26.4 inches (67cm) long.

These headphones are compatible with PCs when plugging in their 1/8" TRS connector into an AUX port. However, they can only receive audio.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones are compatible with PS4 and PS5 consoles when you plug their audio cable into the controller's AUX port. You can only receive audio, though.

The Sony MH755 Fake Headphones can only receive audio when connected via analog to your Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S console.
