Key item features

Key Features and Benefits:

  • In pursuit of perfect sound
    To deliver music with true emotional impact that takes your breath away; every element of the IER-Z1R headphones has been designed and developed for this one purpose. By paying attention to the smallest details, you can distinguish every nuance and subtle characteristics, in astonishingly faithful sound reproduction.
  • Originally designed to make you feel
    Sony designs the drivers in the IER-Z1R headphones from the ground up, to work in total harmony together. The consistent sound signature carried out across each driver works as if they were a perfect single driver.
  • Hear everything with a frequency response to 100kHz
    The super tweeter in the IER-Z1R was developed to deliver ultra-high frequency extension with a new aluminum-coated LCP diaphragm and external magnetic circuit. Its ultra-fast response faithfully follows the fast dynamic transience of music, which provides you with live concert hall atmosphere.
  • For deep bass and fine details
    Inheriting MDR-Z1R's Diaphragm structure, the 12mm dynamic driver's diaphragm consists of magnesium dome and aluminum-coated LCP. This full-range driver offers deep bass and fine mid-high sound.
  • Faithfully reproduce every note
    The newly developed Balanced Armature driver is equipped with a magnesium diaphragm, silver-coated copper voice coil and gold-plated terminals. These realize high definition sound that reproduces even the smallest fading note.
  • Audio grade capacitor without distortion
    Developed from thousands of listening tests, the dedicated film capacitors on the network give much lower distortion. Audio grade solder is also used throughout to ensure maximum signal transparency.
  • Naturally controlled acoustics
    The vast experience and sense of engineers is the key to acoustic design, which delivers the most natural sound. The finely-tuned IER-Z1R acoustic structure steers audio from the trio of driver units as though they were a single, ideal driver.
  • A perfectly straight sound path
    The super tweeter is on a coaxial position against the nozzle. This layout directly delivers accurate super-high notes to your ears with an ultra-wide frequency response up to 100kHz.
  • Refined-phase structure for accurate acoustic blending
    Time coherence of the sound from the three drivers is just as important as their wide frequency response. The Refined-phase structure ensures sound waves are aligned, through precision adjustment of the width and length of each sound path. The magnesium-alloy construction also further eliminates vibration and unwanted resonance, to deliver perfect clarity and liveliness across musical genres.
  • Sound Space Control for wide sound space
    For balanced sound, from low to high frequency, an acoustic tube connects to the cavity behind the driver unit. This technology presents a wide sound space with rich and natural notes.
  • Quality cable for preserving signal purity
    Engineers didn't overlook the quality of the supplied cable, which releases the full potential of the IER-Z1R. From sound quality to wearing comfort and less touch-noise, the cable helps you immerse yourself in music on the go.
  • Balanced connection available
    The IER-Z1R In-ear headphones come with a 4.4mm standard balanced connection cable which separates left and right signals completely. This minimizes cross-talk that results in sound deterioration.
  • Silk insulator and non-magnetic plating
    Silk braid in the supplied cable reduces touch noise and works as an insulator against vibration. Using twisted pair wiring and a non-magnetic undercoat for gold plating on the plugs ensures legato and clean signal transmission.
  • Silver-coated oxygen-free copper cable
    The IER-Z1R uses silver-coated oxygen-free copper wire, designed to minimize resistance and signal-transmission loss. The result is less sound degradation, finer detail and smoother treble sounds.
  • Expertly crafted in Japan
    Sony products made in Japan are synonymous with absolute quality and performance, and the IER-Z1R headphones are no exception. They are lovingly crafted with only the finest components and manufacturing techniques, resulting in exceptional sound quality.

Best IEM's I have ever listened to

Sony has been a market leader in consumer electronics for years and I own several Sony items. I saw these ear buds and the initial reaction was the exorbitant price but I was still interested as music is my stress relief. I read reviews and almost all were positive with only one common concern, fit. I decided to invest in a pair and I am thoroughly satisfied. I wasn't aware ear buds could deliver this level of sound definition. The fit is fine on these as well. I have sat through several two to three hour listening sessions and they are quite comfortable . I highly recommend these IEM's and guarantee you will be pleased with their clarity and overall separation and depth of field.

Endgame IEM

Pros - Superb bass, in terms of detail, impact, texture - Good treble extension but can be too harsh (piercing or sibilant) for some people - Separation is great, listening to orchestral music on these are simply amazing Cons - Very big, PLEASE try them before you buy, these can hurt if your ears are small. My ears are relatively on the larger side and they require some adjusting to fit - Mids are quite recessed so if you prefer the sound of vocals to be more forward then this isn't the best IEM for that Conclusion - if bass and treble is all you're looking for, this IEM is the final stop to that search. It is simply the best sounding IEM in terms of bass, and treble is great especially for detail, but it really depends on how sensitive you are to it. However, fit may be an issue for a lot of people so highly recommend to try these to ensure you're not spending all this money only to find out it hurts your ears. Happy Listening
