Greetings from swiss! My preferences shifted over time so i am selling my 4z! I had it for about 3 years now, so its out of warranty. Technically its working perfectly, but the housing has some chimps as you can see on the pictures. headband is close to mint, but i had to shorten the strap to...

Selling a like-new Z1R. Bought it from original Owner a short while ago, both have used it less than 10h each. Lovely Can but i decided to keep only one so it has to go. Buyer covers Fees, i'll cover Shipping from Swiss.

I can run the 4z off my Note10 with no issues and it gets decently loud so... might just scratching its potential with a DAP but its more than enjoyable IMO

I did the mod too on both sides but only took away maybe 2mm on both sides lol did he cut 4cm off? 😂 Anyway, the mod made the thing much more comfortable..

Theyre quite similar.. i have both and the 4 might edge it out a tiiiiiny bit.. but nothing i could really nail down.. the 4 does sound abit more dynamic in terms of range to my ears and my pairs have a slightly bit different tuning overall with the 4z being a tad darker. (But then i heard a 4...

Never heard of that, can you elaborate on sideeffects? Personally never heard any :)

Guess i am lucky, had 4 different Audezes over the last 3 years and none had any issues.. i even dropped my X, 4z and isine to the ground by accident.. Recently sold my Empyrean, sound wasnt up to par to the 4 /4z. Would love to demo a 1266 tc tho.. but no store has them here :(

You can remedy the dip through EQ.. these have such low distortion its not an issue at all :) im afraid there isnt really another option as the range you need to boost is quite specific

Agree.. i had the MDR a year ago and i was shocked by how wonky that thing sounded.. got the IER couple months ago and to my big suprise it is better in almost evryway than the bigger brother lol!

While its true that the empy doesnt quite have the resolution for its pricetag, im actually considering one along or instead my 4z because i often have multihoursessions right now and the awesome comfort of the meze would be very welcome! I think i can stomach some tradeoffs..

Happy to help https://pasteboard.co/IFTpwkc.png

I didnt think the mx4 was a noticable stepup over my x tbh. Maybe bit more speed but i was more into the 4z and 4. I have trouble nailing the difference on 4 and 4z till today honestly lol. The 4z had an overall more aggressive character to its sound, even tho they have mostly the same FR.. i...

Absolutely agree. But certain people have weird standards, take that oluv guy on YT slamming the i4 because it didnt have the exact soundsig he wanted.. Before i got the 4z, i wanted to upgrade my x and went through multiple demosessions comparing the utopia, 4 and 4z. Even had a negative bias...

I was quite puzzled reading that review as well. Maybe these dudes should run reviews on something else than headphones.. not too qualified..

Agreed on the 4Z sound presentation. Its not the most realistic interpretation of most sound genres.. but damn, it sounds phantastic with its superb resolution and the big, meaty sound enveloping you! And for some genres i find it to be close to perfect. Electronic Music is a dream come true...
