Description

The leather ear pads are large, no issues with my ears but other headphones have more spacious ear pads (TH-900). Treble is smooth but detailed at the same time, this is one of the unusual thing about the Z1R, I definitely notice the treble despite it being laid back and possibly smoothened, could be because of the excellent imaging and separation of this can but I'm liking it even though it sounds a little restrained due to its laidbackness. It is not the most exposing treble and not tuned for in your face details bombardment kinda thing, It extends well but it is in the background. Secondly was the bass, it is very strong in it presents, but it is not in anyways too slow/fast, but very well controlled, clean with speed is right-on depend on the tracks (your source) and the ways it was composed.

Putting on the Z1R, closing my eyes, and deep listening into the music with so much air, yet silent and isolated, surrounding by this large spherical field of acoustic and instruments, the plays and it energies are floating around, but on top of that, the energies applied could be felt, and together with the fluidity, it leave my jaws drop on the floor as I felt the grimy feeling from the artist when she wrote the song about a girl with a broken heart, and the song is her story.Now, before I even talk about the IEM, let's just take a moment to appreciate the packaging that Sony did to made you feel like you've got your money's worth. Dirty Heads “Sound of Change” opens with a deep bass line and it sounds excellent on the Z1R, the vocals still further away, but the instrument separation is excellent and you can hear the fingers running over the strings of the guitars from 1:09 to 1:12 (which is kind of annoying, but detailed. Tries to be as much as possible to be the opposide of Club to make sure, you know you're listening to an audiphile headphone. For those seeking more than just sound, for those seeking a symphony in their ears, the Sony IER-Z1R awaits. I choose an IEM and two full-size headphones as these three actually represent Sony’s recently introduced top of the line models.

Rather than being a 3-blob imager, the Z1R does well in placing sounds and instruments at distinct places in space, with enough depth to separate them out.

A lot of people want the vocals to step outside of the mix, if the music wasn't mixed that way, it won't sound that way. The pricing in Australia is 2499 AUD (1900 USD using google), so the review will be made using that as the value. The mids are more forward and neutral, with excellent clarity and detail – vocals are prominent and guitars sound life-like and accurate, though the Z1R does a good job here as well and can present sound sounds the XTC-C doesn’t present (not always a good thing. Being a home unit it not only offers more power than the 1A and 1Z DAPs it was created and designed by a different engineering wing at Sony; responsible for the long running TA group. One way to describe the Z1R's detail retrieval performance would be everything is presented in a more controlled and smooth manner, while the Annihilator sounds more organic and will not be shy to sound strong when its needed.
