It's closer to the Z1R than both version of MDR Z7 is. All while being way smaller and more comfortable than Z1R and Z7 mk1&2s.

Exactly? What are you misunderstanding on me here? Sony rarely release over 2k usd Headphones, just like every 15 years. Sennheiser updated their line from 600 to 800 took them 10 years, the s update another half decade. They took their time to release their product. IEMs these days is just...

Ah yeah sorry misunderstood it a bit there.

I never did gel with K702s, owned them for a solid 6 months, it always sound boring. Like everything is a tad muted, like in a studio environment. I seem to like headphones with more character to them.

I never intend to be confrontational with you or anything, if you want me to be direct and say your signature is obnoxiously long, yes it is Obnoxiously Looong. What else I say is just an opinion of a guy not wanting to join a sinkhole that's buying IEMs. I've already been inside that hole 6...

MV1 is 30 grams lighter while sporting aluminum grille. IMO if it's drop test the lighter ones usually survive better. If you talk durability of being sit on tho... MV1 only feels cheap because of its lightness but that weight is intentional, it's one of the comfiest headphone you can have. MDR...

Not classic, I mean as in they are slow in releasing new products, especially ones that become their halo product, ie HD800-800s, 820 & R10-Q010-Z1R. When you buy their flagship product, you can be sure there won't be a new model replacing what you just bought for at least 5 years Other...

MDR MV1 is already an open back that's tuned very close to the Z1R, it is about 20% more expensive than void tho. Nice to see new option on the "smartphone as DAP" market. It's just price fall way too fast for any smartphone. I wonder if their niche and low quantity of production will help them...

MDR Z1R is a great headphones in a market where making a closed back that universally fit everyone sonically is very hard. Everyone have their own Fav closed back tuning, some say the E3 is it, others the Verite Closed, but the Z1R definitely corner the more fun tuned sector very well. Like...

Actually am tempted, but not now, just bought a Focal Clear 😅

With the lower price of old stock Diana V2 these days, this has suddenly become more reachable for me, the question is, is it different enough from my current Fav fullsize trios: Sony MDR Z1R, Audio Technica ADX5000 and Focal Clear? Will it completely replace any of the three? From impressions...

Man can't believe it's been 12 years since that video. On mine it's exactly 1 page worth of text 🤭 and my phone is the extra long 21:9 Xperia 1 🤣. It IS telling that 90% of those texts are IEMs name tho, show you how saturated the market are in that segment is, unless you're big brands like...

Does anyone know what type of screw is locking the driver assembly? I need to pull it out as the screw is stuck inside the grille.

Yeah found the screw, it's trapped inside the grille, I'm not sure how it came off, but I right now I don't have the right bit to open the headphone up. I guess I should bring it to Jaben to have it looked at.

Anyone having this similar experience? does the Clear not have silent updates during its run that solves some of these jankiness I've heard that early Elears/Elex also used to have?

Bought a very lightly used Clear, it came in with all the accessories looking pristine, headphone look and smell good as well, it's just, I hear some rattling on the left side, like there's a loose screw inside, I tried rotating the headphone to hear and find which cavity it's actually trapped...

Updated the 1st post now with 1 mkVI Upgrades are: 1) now telephoto up to 170mm (full range now 0.6-7.1x zoom. 2) Change of aspect ratio to 19.5:9 3) 30-50% more brightness depend on condition and who claims so (independent vs official) 4) Way better battery life, now its squarely 2 day battery...

I really don't know why anyone would fake an LG phones. They aren't samsung or iphone.

have anyone run Xduoo TA26 or TA66 with the beyer? im still considering entry lvl tube amps to add some change onto 3 of my high impedance cans.

The MV1 is portable, comfortable, easy to drive and sound great, it has the characteristics of many people's "only headphone" managing to be competent for both desktop use and on the go. It does imo light in packaging and accessories for the price, but the build itself is not something that's...

Actually you can find a lightly used 1AM2 for cheaper and got a whole other headphone as bonus. 😂 But hey some people want better quality ones, but for me, I'm doing fine with using all of my 1AM2's accessories with the MV1.

And here I pull off the filter off my EX800st because they sound a tad muted for my taste.

Humidity, anything stored for a long time will be like that if you live in tropical country, my room stays around 60-70% and it breaks many stuff, leather, paint, planar drivers tracers etc. It's better to regularly use your cans if you have them, if not keep them in dry container like ones for...

Personally it's the closest one to a Z1R without breaking the bank, it's a straight upgrade from 1AM2, and IMO way better than the original Z7. It's more comfortable, smaller and easier to find parts for than the Z1R/Z7 line too. The caveat is packaging and included accessory is minimalist, as...
