Editorial note

The Sony MDR-AS21 headphones stand out for their clear and powerful sound, thanks to a sensitivity of 104 dB that promises an immersive listening experience. Their wide sound range, from 17 to 22000 Hz, allows for enjoyment of all musical details, making them a quality choice for music lovers. Additionally, their lightweight design (12 g) ensures optimal comfort during use. However, some drawbacks may limit their appeal. The lack of wireless connectivity may be disappointing for users who prefer the convenience of Bluetooth headphones. Furthermore, the 1.2 m cable length may not be sufficient for those who like to move freely while listening. Although the yellow design is modern and stylish, it may not suit all tastes. Finally, the high sensitivity could make prolonged listening uncomfortable for some, especially at high volumes, and the absence of advanced features like active noise cancellation could affect their competitiveness. In summary, the Sony MDR-AS21 offer good audio performance and appreciable comfort, but their lack of modern features and certain practical limitations may not satisfy all users.
