Sony Z1R....listening impressions only
Mate leave him. Lets just assume since the POME's have their Brexit now, everything is 50% of the market value compared to the rest of the world. I'm absolutely enjoying the Z1R for 1600USD. If it ever break, this would be a shame but i would not spend 800USD to bye a backup right now.- michael4321

T5p 2nd - Holographic 3D 🤔??
I can confirm, that it is detectable. Sometimes is there is the feeling, that the sound plays in a small/midsize room. Especially voices are often positioned away from you in the back of the room. It goes away, when you Equalize the 2.3 to 3 Khz section with +5-6 db. An Equalizer is needed to...- michael4321

Mostly neutral headphones with extended, elevated subbass
I remember there was model matching your description stores in the "Ark of the Covenant". All the best wishes with your quest to find the holy grail. Hope you are successful. I would love love a 598 sounded headphone which does not have typical drop of bass below 100hz like any other headphone...- michael4321

That is great news. However this sounds a little different from having the headband stretched and the pads compressed all the time.- michael4321

Fight between multi headphones?
I'm mainly using the Sony MDR-Z1R for everything. But in case I want the music to kick me in the head and knock some teeth out, then I open the LCD2C box.- michael4321

Shure SRH-840 upgrade — low extension and overall resolution
If you come from a SRH-840 and want better bass extension and slightly less highs, then you should try a Beyerdynamic DT1350. If you have seal , the DT1350 is matching your criteria. However the comfort is different, because it is a very light headphone. I had 2 SRH-840 and had to gave up on...- michael4321

Sony Z1R....listening impressions only
Impression: Effortless presentation of details in almost everything. Especially movies, electronic music and soul, blues and older rock. The best way to describe them is really the word enjoyable (95% of the time). Contra: Not so good for very complicated and fast instrumentations like Peter...- michael4321
