I am thinking to sell my Sony MDR-Z1R, since I am not using them much, recently. I am the first owner and proud to say that these are most likely the lowest serial number and build on day 1 of production. Serial number is 9 or better 0009, so these are more aimed toward collectors. They are in...

Actually, a while ago someone asked about the built quality of the Z1r earlier models vs. the more recent ones. Now I am wondering about that and the sound quality. Does anyone know if there are any differences between early and the more recent batches? I myself have the SN 0009, possibly one...

Jesus!!! I just removed my original Sony case, which didnt come off easily. Not sure why. Anyway, that damn case scratched the side of my WM1Z. Anyone had that before?

HI Mark,   I still haven't had the time to work more on the Z7. It has been a while for me to post or do anything, but impressive to see what Whitigir made out of yours. Now I am thinking to get back to it and do some more stuff.    At this moment, I am very much enjoying the sound of my Z7...

I agree, we do have to remember that there is SW involved and plays a major part. Its a good point to raise and one I actually complete forgot to think about. Luckily its Android, so we would be able to alter whatever we have to alter, if we know what exactly needs to be changed.   Before I...

Thanks.   So I have written the entire thing again and way more detailed. I might even be talking too much.   Sorry, I tried to write this on my Windows computer but just couldnt get used to Word 2016. So, I did the whole thing on my Mac in Pages.     The PDF and DOC can be found here  ...

Thanks guys.   I went through the guide again and decided to restructure it. I think I will just define the stages of the mod some more and go from simple dampening through the various stages, up until treble mod. For people who just want to apply one of the stages, it will be much easier to...

Alright, here is the mod page for some read through. Suggestions are not only welcome, but needed :)   Please PM me, don't slam me :P   http://www.head-fi.org/t/794373/sony-mdr-z7-upgrades-and-mods-thread/15#post_12258941   Time for bed!

Hey All. I hope you are keeping well.   Thanks Peterek for opening this thread. Its good to have a place where we can focus and have some exchange.   I wrote my initial mod guide for the Z7. It's not yet complete and I am open for suggestions on this (I was dead tired when I wrote it, which...

ha ha, also good.    Agreed. Im sure it has its applications and its definitely a superb product, but I dont listen to music from iPhone&Co, so I wouldnt need it.   I am wondering what will be the successor to the ZX2. I dont think its the ZX100, so lets see what they come up with.

So I am starting to mod the phones, mostly following Whitigir's and Peterek's advice. I will be trying to document all the steps as good as I can with the equipment I have at hand and then post it in the DYI forum.    I believe there is a clear benefit to replace the internal wiring with solid...

I was thinking to buy a 2nd set, but getting in the country is always a pain. Customs will slap me with 30-35% import tax :(

Lol, we certainly do not want that. The iPhone also has such a EU Volume limit, while the iPad does not as it doesn't come with headphones in the box. However, a user can turn this EU Volume Limit off in the iPhone settings, which would be desirable for ZX2 users as well. (Sorry, I also got the...

Oh yes, you are very helpful. Thanks again. I definitely owe you a drink. I know that the remaining "bottleneck" would be the internal cabling. I hope I have enough strand to do the mod. I was mostly surprised by the jump in volume. Saves me buying the PHA-3 :P (just joking)   I agree, the ZX2...

            So, due to the wonderful Holidays I received my cable later than I would have expected. K also added some 30cm of spare cable to do the internal re-cabling to the drivers. I am wondering if its actually long enough. We will soon see.    I chose some very difficult...
