That naming scheme would be waaaaaaaay too logical for Sony, expect something much more confusing/complicated!
Ah yes, how could I forget.That naming scheme would be waaaaaaaay too logical for Sony, expect something much more confusing/complicated!
Wait for Z1R to come...then, you will probably have the answer to all the questions you have askedAnd lastly, custom tips. Are they worth the investment?
Haha, fair enough. Thank you!Wait for Z1R to come...then, you will probably have the answer to all the questions you have asked
Congrats, enjoy!
Cheers!
I meant it with good intentions. If I had listened to many people who said that the fit of Z1R is terrible, I would probably have skipped them.Haha, fair enough. Thank you!
Definitely worth it if you want to swap cables.Would an MMCX to 2-pin adapter like this be worth it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/204068170485
The MMCX on the Z1R is super tight, one of the tightest I've came across, it won't move unless you rotate it.I have had a lot of trouble with MMCX in the past, especially from Sennheiser. I have always hated that the connection always rotates loosely around and that the looseness is different on each side. Also dislike the thought that it is easy/easier to brake. I was thinking that an adapter like this one would also allow me to use any cable I want and bypass the need for a custom Z1R cable.
At home I have Topping A90D and I have the WM1A. I only need something for when I use my phone. I was thinking about getting the Queststyle M15i. I have heard good things about it and I found it as low as 200 dollars on AliExpress.. Other than that, I would say the sources, both DAC/Amp you pair with the Z1R are the most important factors. With good sources which are not necessarily expensive, it's like heaven listening to music with the Z1R, with bad ones, the Z1R sounds unacceptably compressed, just a mess to be honest.
Great, I think you would have quality time with the Topping.At home I have Topping A90D and I have the WM1A. I only need something for when I use my phone. I was thinking about getting the Queststyle M15i. I have heard good things about it and I found it as low as 200 dollars on AliExpress.
Looks like I snagged them just in time! Joining the older brother EXK in my collection~Well, it looks like the rumors are true this time. IER-Z1R appears to be discontinued in the US. I'm seeing more retailers discounting them. Audio46 has them listed as discontinued new model soon. FWIW
There are some pretty good discounts available right now. I may just snag a second pair.
Hmm, could this be a sign that Sony is going to release successors to the IER series, or probably to the Z1R onlyWell, it looks like the rumors are true this time.
