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

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!

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

Has a price actually been announced? Didn’t see 3k let alone 1k mentioned anywhere

Haven’t been on head fi for a while and just checking the last page on the toxic thread shows no change in the type of posts! I think if potential purchasers read a few pages to find out about the product they will also come across the way Frank works and also how happy everyone is with their...

Just received my lionheart and Leonidas a few days ago. So happy with the quality and suppleness of the cable. Only starting to use them now but first impressions are just as I remember at canjam. It's been a while now but wanted to say it was great meeting Eric and thanks for all the advice...

Just saw a review for a player called ruizu which looks very similar to the m1. Didn't know they used generic shells and software

Lucky we all hear things differently to keep all the manufacturers going so there's choice out there! I personally didn't get on with the Tia fourte. Not sure if the unit was faulty as my friend heard it the same. They sounded like I had the pulled out slightly so that there wasn't a proper...

Third Canjam London I've been to and have to say it's the best one so far. Loads of new exhibitors and so happy that Sony turned up. Everyone was super friendly as usual. Managed to listen to a few prototypes from Final and Empire. Enjoyed both and working out how to save up for the Sony Z1r

Wandered around the show until 5pm on Saturday(having been to the Shanling stand first thing)and promised to get an m1 to complement my m2s before I left(wonderful guys by the way and very enthusiastic). Ended up having to leave in a hurry and completely forgot to buy the m1 :(

Tickets say start 10am but I remember last year queuing up at 9am and getting in. Any idea?

@subguy12 I'd be so worried for those connectors! Mine go in all the way but still get slightly bent even though I try not to put too much stress on them. Your universals appear to stick out the same amount as my iems. Might get me another pair as universals for spares :p They look great btw

I was thinking of getting one as it looked more compact than the qp1r as I'm not actually using mine as originally intended which was as a portable unit in preparation for having to change my dying iPhone but they don't sell them in the uk anymore. After looking around a bit, managed to stumble...
