I personally don’t feel (and hear) that the Z1R’s Bass is overwhelming. It’s actually the set’s biggest strength, but each to their own.

I just received my Sony Z1R. It is the second pair I own, the first one I had at the beginning of my audiophile journey, with the serial number of 30sh at that time. Being new to headphones, I compared it rather obsessively with my other headphones which I owned back then, the Focal Utopia and...

I noticed that the Z1R is (slightly) discounted in all Sony shops in Asia I recently visited (Sin, Th and Ph). Seems like phasing out to me.

I think something new is in the works by Sony, hence discounts in most stores (not as much as you got). But I think the Z1R will stay a classic hard to get, loathed by many and loved by special few.

Dann, my wife just picked up one for me from Sin airport for much more. Lucky you!

Excited to post that I am re-joining the Z1R club, I decided I missed them big time. After all these years still the best-value TOTL and very musical. If anybody has a funky cable to sell, please let me know.

Hi there, looking for a nice cable for my upcoming Z1r (joining the party a second time), ideal length 1.5m or longer. Amp end 4.4mm

Are the Raven and Stormbreaker cable a good match? Thanks for sharing.

Great IEM, GLWS.

What’s wrong with the stock cable, in your opinion?

Hi! I shared here my frustrations with my Raven exchange from v1 to v2. I'd like to follow-up on this and express my sincere gratitude for @Jack Vang and his team to help out and deliver the revised Raven just in time in an over-night express shipment. Jack and the team pulled it off after...

Closed, sr

I know that nothing beats a real-life personal test, but how would the Trifecta compare to the Final D8000 and the EE Raven, if anybody had a chance to compare. I loved the final D8000 for classical music and thought it performed way above its price point. However, other genres sounded piercing...

Told EE about my predicament that I left the country for work and my family is leaving soon as well. By now there is no chance anymore to get the Raven back. For several weeks, I asked EE for solutions to avoid the Raven being left behind after departure. First I was asked to be patient. Now I...

Happy New Year 2024 to all of you!! Still hoping for a belated Santa from EE before leaving the country on Jan-10. I told EE how much I’d appreciate to get the revised Raven back before then, but I was asked to be patient and that other orders have to be served as well. I hope that the EE...

I won’t preorder anything anymore, ever. No IEM, computer game, dap, you name it. Tired of being a guinea pig.

Oh ok, love my Stormbreaker and even sold my Odin without it. Cable feels nice in the hand as well.

This post makes it sound as the whole thing was transparent and foreseeable. Preorder … 1. weeks no word of the delay and how long (and yes, here I should have cancelled). 2. Then the issue with the broken connectors. I sensed this would be complicated and I tried to return the Raven which was...

I do sympathise with EE as well since I liked their product and Jack was nice to me in previous interactions, which I appreciate. However, on a personal level, the Raven launch was and especially currently still is a Desaster. I’ll just stay away from brand new products and especially pre-orders...

I have sent in my Raven some weeks ago. Since I am moving overseas, I asked it to be returned soon. Unfortunately, I was told there are supply issues and that I should be patient. Seems I’ll be relocating without my Raven or any chance to get it anytime soon. Hope not but let’s see.

It’s very spacious with the right bass rumble.

yeah, I'll give that a pass. They need to do better to keep my attention :).

Price drop.

Fantastic buyer with polite and clear communication and immediate payment. Couldn’t be better, thank you.
