    Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R

    Does anyone know if the bluetooth edition can be hooked up to a PC, and used as a headset? Is that even possible??

    Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R

    Just returned my UE 6000 after picking up a pair of these. So far so good, I quite like them. I picked up the blue tooth version because thats all thats available in my city for the time being, I may end up returning these and picking up the basic version if I can at some point.

    5th Calgary meeting: January 2012

    Loved it yet again. Great group of people, and amazing head-fi, all in one location! Now just time to start filling the piggy bank again....    And thanks to everyone who came out, and to Alphones and the Audio Room, as well as the companies that were represented there. Great pictures too...

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Whiterabbitexpress was great to work with. From the time I ordered to the time it arrived was about 8 days, so that was great. The packaging was safe, and it arrived in excellent condition. My import fees were about 20$ (with FedEx in Canada). Annnnd that should about cover it!

    Head-to-Head Comparison: S-Master (NW-X1060, NW-A847) vs. S-Master MX (NW-Z1070)

    Quote: I've got power amp running on this baby, and believe me its well worth the 5 bucks. It plays all file major file formats, has cross feed, replay gain, a 7 band EQ with pre-amp, supports gapless and a whole bunch of other goodies. Highly recommended.

    Beyerdynamic T70

    Yikes! Thats crazy. That would sound like a defective unit to me. Beyer phones come with 2 year parts & warranty, but I suppose you might as well return them. If its feasible, I'd try the T 70p, but only if you could do it risk free. (Such as a good return policy or store demo) I've never been...

    Beyerdynamic T70

    Yeah that makes sense, I'd do the same thing in your situation. You shouldn't have to do much of anything with your headphones to get them to sound the way they're supposed to. I just think its odd with all the polarized opinions about these headphones. Maybe my idea of bass is someone else's...

    Beyerdynamic T70

      Quote: I'm super curious about this as well. Does anyone other than me have the T 70p? I've never heard bass this good before. Its deep, extends well, and melts my face when appropriate. I'm a bit of a bass head, and these phones have been unmatched to my ears. It has much more...

    Quote: The radio works fine here in Canada. I can pick up all regular FM stations. It goes from 108.0 MHz down to 76 MHz.

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Quote: I'll do some quicky impressions! I don't have much to compare it to, just my 3 year old Sony Walkman (NWZ-S639F), but so far I am blown away! I bought the Poweramp app, and it sounds amazing! Definitely more control over the sound, very full low end, and nice crisp highs. Ive...

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Quote:   I just got it!!  More impressions to come I suppose... I bought it through a proxy service, whiterabbitexpress.com, which was a pleasant experience, but shipping ended up costing me a small fortune. It was about 40$ CAD for express shipping from Japan, but then I got dinged...

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Yeah I had that problem too. But mine is (almost) here, its been sitting in my local Fedex depot for a couple days now. (Which is driving me mental, its here, just bring it over already!!!!)

    Weird, thats actually a little more than they quoted me. Where did you find it for sale?

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Quote: Ahh yeah that makes sense! Well they ordered it from Amazon Japan for me, but it has to ship to them before they ship it to me. They got my funds and placed the order in less than a day though, so so far its been a pleasant experience. It's still going to be a few weeks before I...

    NEW Sony Walkman Z Series mini review!!!

    Quote: No, I'm in Canada. But yes I did order from them, their price was reasonable, cheaper than the one on eBay. I'm sure you could find a better deal, but patience is not one of my virtues lol.

    Ive contacted a website that specially buys things from Japan, and ships them anywhere in the world, about getting a quote for this new Walkman. I'll keep everyone posted if you're interested. The site is:   http://whiterabbitexpress.com/   I'll have to see how much they charge for the...
