    JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread

    They were released in 2009 so you must be close to 15 years. I bought mine February 2010 so they are now over 14 years old. I’m actually surprised that mine still fit great as I have lost over 40kg since I bought them, close to 1/3 of my body weight then

    Sony Walkman custom firmware (non-Android)

    After changing sig in the settings file and rebooting you then need to install the matching signature as far as I remember (have not done it for several years)

    JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread

    And another 6 years and a bit have gone by so mine are now over 14 years old, by far the longest any of my gear has lasted, and they are still going strong. 5 years ago I had to send them back to have the 2 pin sockets and the sound tubes replaced at a cost of $100 including return shipping so...

    The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

    What specifically do you want to know ? No matter what verdion of the mod it will be something along the lines of the list I gave you but with slightly different components depending on the mod version. My own one is version 2.5 and I have @gerelmx1986 brand newly modded version 5 on burn in and...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    To me they certainly shared the general Sony sound sig. I’ve had and used and loved both since each came out but in the end it was the IER that got all the use and I have now sold the MDR to my youngest son who love them for gaming and movies (he hardly ever listens to music).

    The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

    Depends on when the mod was done as there have been at least 5 versions of the mod over the years. You can read about what the latest version of the mod involves on the NPAudio web site: NPAudio WM1A/Z EXPMv5 (Extreme Performance Mod v5) Double thickness shielding / grounding over the...

    The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

    After 300 hours burn-in of your expm5 mod my hearing is unable to detect any differences between it and my expm2.5. There may be differences but they are beyond my abillity to detect them

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I’m in the position where I can only get a good seal with L or LL tips and at the same time that is a deep fit. With anything smaller I can’t get a fit at all and there don’t exist a tip that is large enough for me to get a shallow fit. But then agsin I have a very large ear canal and cavity...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    As my son has now decided that he want to keep and buy my Z1R I have the Slappa transport case, the Lavri Grand 4.4mm balanced cable and the ddHiFi 4.4 to 4-pin xlr spare and want to sell it if anybody is interested. It has cost me over $800 including vat and shipping and I would like to get at...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    I use this. Only drawback is that you have to remove the cable and place it in the middle

    Have not listened yet, still in burn in process. I’m doing burn in for @gerelmx1986 while he is on Holliday and will send it to him the end of this month. At about 120 hours so far. Mine is a 1Z but with a 2.5 modded 1A board as my original board died in a battery leak after the first mod...

    Yes it requires soldering and removing of the faux leather back with a heat gun before you can access the screws to remove the back plate

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    After not using my MDR-Z1R for over a year I have now passed them on to my youngest son (30 years old) and he absolutely loves them for gaming and movie watching (he hardly ever listens to music). He say they are SO much better both for sound and comfort than any headset at any price he has...

    Sony Walkman custom firmware (non-Android)

    I’m pretty sure it will not as I don’t think the analog pins are active on the WM port just like they are not on the 1A/1Z and ZX300

    Sony Walkman custom firmware (non-Android)

    As far as I know there is no true line out possibillity with the A55. Some of the older Walkman players allowed line out from the WM port but I don’t believe the A55 offers this so the best you can do is from the headphone out

    No it takes less than 2 weeks to do but @gerelmx1986 is going on a months holliday so I’ll be doing burn-in for him and then send it to him when he is back

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    I only listen to music never movies. Part of my choice is that I generally prefer iem’s to full size headphones but I just generally prefer the IER sound. I must admit I rarely analyze my gear or break it down, I just see if it gives me enjoyment when listening.

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    Mine have now been packed down for at least a year after just not getting any use, prefer the IER-Z1R. I’m not selling them though.
