You are comparing full-sized to IEM? I personally have never heard the Z1R, but I would say that it would depend on what aspect you are trying to compare to get a proper comparison.Thank you, but I was asking about MDR- Z1R full size headphones Vs LX and Odin.
Which is better etc.
My question will be : are we now at a level where IEMs are on same level or better then full size closed bsck headphones? Details, clarity, soundstage, stage, bass ?You are comparing full-sized to IEM?

In my opinion, yes and no. There are some things that full-size headphones with 70mm (or larger in the case of planar) drivers can do that IEMs just can't. Full size headphones also use (and are affected by) parts of your ear anatomy that IEMs completely bypass. So the physical experience in the case of actual stage size and bass response, for example, will be different. But the psychoacoustic tricks many of the best IEMs use can overcome some of their physical limitations.My question will be : are we now at a level where IEMs are on same level or better then full size closed bsck headphones?

Okay, I'm going to need you guys to stop reminding me why I regret selling my LX.I can tell you when I am playing Doom on my Xbox with the Legend X it is horrifying. I feel the explosions and hear each evil sound. It requires a massive prayer session following.
I can't say as I haven't tried many headphones but I think that may be a bad comparison.Thank you, but I was asking about MDR- Z1R full size headphones Vs LX and Odin.

Extremely interested in the Bravado MKII and the Hero Founders edition.
At only a $50 difference currently which would be better for new age rap/trap music
If only LX dropped to $1,000... (one can dream...)I really can't recommend Hero enough at that price, an absolute steal if you ask me.
I feel your pain! Who am I kidding, stop procrastinating and just get yourself an LX already! I'm glad I took the long and winding road to get there, because now I know for sure how great it is.I am suddenly jones'ing hard for the Legend X....whereas previously I really had no interest. What is wrong with me.
I think I blame @gLer ; after reading hsi 64 Audio shootout thread, my predilection for the Tia Trio seemed to be confirmed, only to find out he ditched it in favor of the LX. Damn you, bro'. hahahahaha
The LX is a substantial step up in most technical aspects tbh. Although a completely different sound so it can be down to preference... if anything I find them quite complementary. I wouldn’t hold your breath on it dropping down to that price anytime soon.If only LX dropped to $1,000... (one can dream...)
No, not even close. As much as I enjoy IEM, it's physically not possible to match headphone. Their purpose is different. Convenience, discretion at a level of quality that is excellent, just not headphone excellent.My question will be : are we now at a level where IEMs are on same level or better then full size closed bsck headphones?
