    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Just had mine delivered today. Pretty decent if you eq a bit. Can’t compare to anything else in the tw range but bass can be pushed quite high and sound is pretty close to some Bluetooth cans

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Thanks! Never have money to burn but always on the look out for the next toy. To be honest, Zeus is still great and I only ever use them over the other sets. No need to buy another!

    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    Would you be able to compare them to Zeus R? I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind something with a bit more bass but sounds like the Valkyrie is a bit too much? Might not make canjam London so getting impressions here if possible. Also, custom or universal. I’ve always had customs

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    I bought mine recently from Richer sounds for £1650 but managed to get them in a week. Called up my local store who confirmed with their buyer that they could still get them. Meanwhile, amazon went from don’t know when it would be in stock back to 1-3 months

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    Just got mine and it’s nearly at 7000 but looking at the plate, there appears to be more room than only for 4 digits. Already sounds better than when I first put them on so don’t worry about whether they’re being discontinued or not if you like them. May I suggest that to keep things...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    Ordered mine from dealer and it took a week so if they were being discontinued, don’t know how they can still be supplied. Also Amazon went from next day delivery to 1-3 months and then during Xmas period they didn’t know when they could supply. Now it’s back to a 1-3 month wait. Doesn’t make...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    So after a not so good start to my brand new Z1R’s which sounded different to the ones i demoed at canjam, i was still hearing the same thing when reading through the thread and already contemplating getting the kimber cables. For some unknown reason, shortly after posting, the headphones...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    Oh I’m not giving up on them! It’s just that other headphones I’ve demoed before have always sounded similar when I eventually bought a new pair. I’d like to get the kimber cables as that was the only difference between my pair and the pair at canjam. Hope I don’t open another can of worms but I...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    I’ve tried and bought lots of different cables. Some have had a quite noticeable effect and some have only had a minor difference but with the first set of aftermarket cables I tried, I tested them being skeptical about cables making any difference as I had only started out exploring...

    Kimber can put on whichever connectors you need but are slightly over double the price of the Sony version

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Only just came back to the toxic thread today as recent unfortunate incidents mean i have to slowly and selectively rebuild my heapdphones, players and cables collection. Quite a shock to read the news about Frank(rip Frank)if only because you never expect these things to happen. I know many...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    I wouldn’ have started down the path of cables if I didn’t actually hear a difference myself. It started with trying a set of Linux Superbax on my Noble K10’s and there was a definite difference at least from being more “open”. Bought some Toxic cables a couple of years after that as the Linums...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    Following on from the cable question, is it better to get from Kimber direct or get the sony one? I assume Sony only has one type of kimber cable but Kimber’s website for the Axios has three so the question is has Sony chosen the one they believe best suits the Z1R? Also the Kimber ones are...

    Sony Z1R....listening impressions only

    There was talk about the Z1R’s being discontinued a few pages back. I checked on Amazon UK and it had gone from next day delivery a few months back to 1-3 months and now its listed as not in stock. Only a couple of retailers listed it so i called Richer sounds and they can deliver in a week...
