@@HiFiInsider now that's even more surprising, the new desktop Walkman eh? Now everyone's curious about that one. The unboxing experience of it may just be mediocre like the other Signature Series Walkman tho... The IER on the other hand, it'd feel like an IEM Jewelery box I bet :)
I heard the IER for the first time over the weekend. It is AMAZING and I can't wait to buy it. My DMP-Z1 is a review loaner so no retail box for the review.
I have spent few hours listening to them and the Z7s and I tell you I fund only very subtle differences. I ended up buying the MDR Z7s for like 300US compared to 1800US of the Z1Rs. Very similar sound signature with a little less highs hardly discernible and a gentle difference in mids but the differences are so small that for the price have not comparison. Try the Z7s...
Enjoyed the video. While I can't afford these do you think the SONY MDR-Z7 would be a good headphone to step up to from my Philips Fidelio X2's? I'd love any recommendation in the $500-700 range.
Mike, I have a budget for any of these headphone choices shown below. If you were to purchase 1 out of the list below, which would you go with and why? 1. Sennheiser HD 800 S 2. Mr. Speakers Ether Flow C 3. Sony MDR-Z1R 4. Fostex TH-900 5. Beyerdynamic T1, 2nd Gen. *** I do plan to purchase a Moon Audio upgraded cable for the chosen headphone *** *** Also, my music choice is all over the place. I listen to just about everything. Most commonly, I listen to jazz, classical, rock, heavy metal, female vocals, pop, and some R&B/Hip Hop ***
The One it all depends on the genre of music you listen to, and what your perfer. For me I like a warm clear lively sounding headphone with an amazing bass response that doesnt effect the midrange so in that case the z1r is the headphone for me.
Hey mike i clicked your link i noticed its from buywise thats selling it for $1,899 thats a sweet price but do you think its a grey market item from buywise!?
go for it..bought of Amazon and it's served me very well....ensure product is fulfilled by Amazon for your limited warranty(60days) grey market however is without factory warranty(beware)
It's on the extreme polar end of the scale. It's close back so the sound stage is much narrower, but the vocals are forward and the bass are meaty. They can be overwhelming on its first 50 hours but after burning it in, it becomes very satisfying. It's good for instrumental as well, just not necessarily orchestral.
@@jungleking9703 yeah nah I was wrong. The soundstage of the z1r is one of the widest for closed-back headphones. HD800 is like having a band playing for you in concert hall, but z1r is like having a band playing for you in a recording studio (relatively large one as well, just with a lot more controlled sound). I just didn't appreciate it as much as I do now, now that I clocked 2 hours a day for almost two years.
I'm looking for an endgame pair of headphones to upgrade from my hd600. I'm either looking at these or the hd800s or maybe the audeze LCD X. Any advice you can give?
Наушники Sony MDR-Z1R для коньячных пьяниц 🤙🏻 за 110.000 рублей. 🤑 Это не просто типичные японцы, это ещё и типичные сони-японцы. Не могу сдержать желания окрестить Sony MDR-Z1R «коньячными наушниками». Почему? Да потому что они идеальны под такую атмосферу: бокал дорогого коньяка или бренди, на плеере смачный американский блюз, на голове Z1R. Вместе с приличным разрешением, ясностью и большой для закрытых наушников сценой, Sony передают максимум эмоций, сока, смака, кайфужности, обалденности… даже не знаю, чего ещё бы придумать, какое определение дать такому звучанию. Sony MDR-Z1R - это единственные наушники компании, которые мне нравятся. Профессиональная линия наушников Sony звучат как плоские сухари в пустыне, а любительские, меломанские наушники - масло масленое, с размазанным басом и ватным верхом и серединой в угоду комфортности звучания на любых записях. Sony MDR-Z1R - шаг в сторону топовой детальности и чёткости, но с сохранением всего эмоционального богатства блюзового пьянчуги.

It's the best leather. Natural leather shoes are the most comfortable. Natural leather ear pads are so comfortable and durable as well. Synthetic leather isn't that great and it's durability from the headphones that I have is bad.
the sound of that headphone must be clearer than my future

The second he opened the main box to expose the actual headphones; I'm pretty sure I could hear angles humming and singing. 😄
I had to change my trousers. :)
I appreciate the help, that was cool of you to get back so quick. Too bad there isnt a filter for the trolls, LOL.
If you buy these headphones you have reached the sense of your life
lmfao!
Love the packaging, love the design, like the sound 👍
I'll be looking forward to the IER Z1R unboxing from you :)

At least for the Z7 the cables were manufactured in China despite the cans being Japanese manufacturing.

Same here, the cables is not from Japan. He’s wrong in the video, China!

The price the same with my salary for 1 year. Lol
sony z1r vs lcd x 2021 vs meze empryean vs focal radiance? how would you rate them acc to your liking?
so i need to sell my house??
soan briege your house is worth 2k? I feel sorry for you
focal utopia vs z1r?
I just try these headphones, and that’s very BIG😂😂 but as always you can expect a great sound from hi-end price headphones
would you prefer the stock cables or the kimber kables?
Mike you should review the new Hifiman HE-R10P and tell us how it compares to this Sony.
if these headphones make coffee for me ,for that price, i will BUY them without hesitation!!!
why stop at making coffee? dinner would be nice too. :)
i have no other explanation for that price ( :
which headphones are similar in sound?
When everyone would be buying dinner making robots, premium headphones would still be expensive than the robots.

How many times you wanna mention its made in japan
Hi everyone. I have a Question, Please help me. Which are the best Headphones under $ 100 to listen to music?
for asking price you can buy Abyss Diana OG. no comparison.
well... they are very different but I agree that OG ABYSS 1266 is higher performance but you do need a high power amp to drive them.
Even meze empyrean would be better for that price . I own them btw
I like this guys voice
Why the Audeze LCD doesn't use this kind of twisting and turning tech?
I brought it today, shall I keep cartoons box or throw it ?
Always keep
Z1R vs Abyss AB-1266. Both pair with Woo WA5..which one you prefer for listening rock and heavy metal music?
ABYSS for sure. It is the BEST headphone for rock music, period.
You sound like the dude in Blood in Blood out who got stabbed at the end.
lmao are you talking about montana?
How well can the NW-WM1Z drive this without amp?
Mike im in love with my in ear's Yamaha EPH100 , what do you think about this earbud?
I have not tried those. You should make a review video.
What sound source do you use with these headphones?
You should check out the monoprice m1060 :)
Would love to see what you think
Enjoyed the video. While I can't afford these do you think the SONY MDR-Z7 would be a good headphone to step up to from my Philips Fidelio X2's? I'd love any recommendation in the $500-700 range.

I bought the Sony Pha-2a from buywise for a cheaper price and it's the real deal for sure. Was very happy.
i wonder how the sound quality compares to the hd 800

They can be overwhelming on its first 50 hours but after burning it in, it becomes very satisfying. It's good for instrumental as well, just not necessarily orchestral.
@@awesomises I dont think the Soundstage would be narrow since the drivers are 70mm. That would cover quite a large area for sound around your ear.
@@jungleking9703 yeah nah I was wrong. The soundstage of the z1r is one of the widest for closed-back headphones. HD800 is like having a band playing for you in concert hall, but z1r is like having a band playing for you in a recording studio (relatively large one as well, just with a lot more controlled sound). I just didn't appreciate it as much as I do now, now that I clocked 2 hours a day for almost two years.
@@awesomises I felt the same way too. There is no way such a large driver so upbclose could give a narrow Soundstage especially at the price.
These are $ 5000 in Norway as of January 2023.
that is crazy. it’s $1200 in the US.
