It all depends on how much volume you use. I have them on my head right now with moderate (not too high and not low) volume, just asked my fiancé if she can hear anything (she's inches away from me) and she said she couldn't hear anything.

Yes there are gay people in the world and on HF, and no it is not like marrying a pillow.
Anyway back on topic?

Apparently, I'm slower than slow and these silver suckers go for $277 on amazon but AJ has them for $244. But AJ I've known has had them for a long time

Haven't tried, but they should be good. Decent bass, relatively large soundstage for a closed portable. One of the reasons why I didn't like the Z1000 was that its weird presentation made movies and TV shows sound very strange and hollow. Haven't had that problem yet with the 1R.

Thanks man, I've been looking at this headphone for a while now since it first came out and I really will use it for casual use at my desk.
post #1796 of 24781/30/13 at 12:28pmI was thinking about them, but eneded up with the amperiors. Hope I made the right choice, but I'm still wanting to try these out.post #1797 of 24781/30/13 at 12:45pm- Amarphael

We're all very sad to hear the news, Thank you for sharing. :P

Z1000 doesn't have a weird presentation. It was nicely defined to my ears, with SA5000 and my Sextetts as reference. I hope the 1R follows suit.
