Sony MDRZ1R Signature, Hi-Res Headphone, Black

Among the best top of the line headphones in the market.
I been hearing lots of praise for the mdr-z1r and now that I have my own I believe it definitely deserves it.The mdr-z1r are extremely well constructed and designed with absolutely no creaking and at least for my head the headband is just the right tension that works together with the deep molded earpads that soft in a way that It seals around your ear but it’s firm enough to maintain its shape keeping my ears from making contact with the drivers, making these the most comfortable headphones I worn yet.For this section I may not know the correct technical audiophile terms to describe the mdr-z1r’s performance and you can get a better description from other reviewers here, but I can probably describe the z1r better by comparison with other headphones I have, for example:Mdr-1am2, good build quality and light as a feather but earcups are shallow and sometimes it creaks a bit, sound profile is v shaped with more emphasis on the highs compared to the z1r but somewhat less subbass and very narrow soundstage which is expected for a typical close back of its price range.Mdr-z7m2, this one is very comparable in build quality and comfort and having that wide soundstage but the sound profile while still v shaped and detailed it’s kinda dull across the board especially when compared to the 1am2. It’s like if the z1r was to split into two separate headphones with the z7m2 having the build quality and the soundstage while the 1am2 keeps the exciting sound profile.That concludes my review of the mdr-z1r and I hope this gives you a better idea if you happen to own either of those headphones in the comparison.

Lush and relaxing
Very well built, I was also impressed with the sound signiture it’s very detailed and doesn’t cause fatigue unlike my Focal Clear MG headphones. If you have the budget and desire I would highly reccomend giving these a try.

Bass. Lots of it. Accurate bass.
This headphone takes you to the stage with an artist. Immersing you completely into the music.

Wow! Incredible!
These Sony MDR-Z1R headphones are simply incredible! I am using them with the Sony NW-WM1A Walkman. These are more than what one would call “detailed”. These make music come alive to the point that the materials the instruments are made of can be heard and felt….Wooden instruments sound like wood, metal strings sound like metal, the friction of the hairs of a violin bow against the metal strings can be felt, synthetic drum heads can be distinguished from animal skin ones, vocals sound human. These go beyond accuracy, instrument separation, imaging, sound stage, etc. and actually “create” the music. As a musician I can say I have not yet heard any headphones as good as these or like these at any price. These are a conduit to the musicians on the other end. They also achieve this even while listening at very low volumes which is pretty amazing and are also outstandingly comfortable and light weight too. These headphones should be considered musical instruments in themselves. Bravo, Sony!

Simply the best closed headphones around! I own the SR-009, Utopia and a few other top flight headphones and these hold their own!

HD800S,HD800, T1 等いろいろ持ってますが、それでもZ1Rは格別です。欠点は特にないです！HD800ほど広くないが、密閉にしては素晴らしいといっても過言ではないと思います。HD800は確かにソニー以上の情報量を表現出来ますが、綺麗に鳴らす為HD800以上の価格のアンプが必要です。Z1Rはスマホに直接つないでも不満はない！HD800とくらべればZ1Rは★よりインパクトのある低音★よりリアルな音場（IMAXシアターにいるみたい）★より3D音に感じる★より高級感を感じる素材で出来てる本体と化粧箱★より優しい高域★より賢いなイヤーパッドとケーブル交換手順HD800S/HD800の方は☆より広い音場（ライブオーケストラ館みたい）☆より鮮やかな細かい音を提供し☆より軽量、長時間に着けて優しい成形☆より音楽を選ぶ専門家的なヘッドホン☆より空気管の余裕を感じる音☆より頭に軽く感じる最後はジャンルまとめ：Z1Rはロック…………★★★POP…………….★★★★★クラシック….★★★★サウンドトラ★★★★ジャズ…………★★★★★HD800/Sロック…………★★POP…………….★★クラシック….★★★★★★サウンドトラ★★★★★ジャズ…………★★★★参考になれたら。僕はHD800、HD800SとZ1Rを愛用してます。
