So, yesterday i just received my dream IEM the Z1R !!
Sadly its not the Sony IER Z1R and it comes with Z1L as well..
Lol, joke aside, my KZ Z1 is arrived and to my surprised, they looks and feel better than what I was expecting. Build quality while made by plastic but they are solid and doesn't look like a cheapo pair. And the black color is really elegant, better than the green in my opinion.

Mini review / impressions will be posted here later but my first impressions out of the box, they are a serious TWS sound, that can be compete with wired KZs, the 10mm DD isnt a joke, they have serious bass with very decent depth and impact that rarely found in other TWS (that usually use 6mm DD). Their bass is linear with no mid bass hump, not for serious bassheads, its more quality than quantity. Midranges a bit further to me, and on thin side, upper mids have little harshness but much better than most KZs, this is more towards zs10 pro tuming than ZSX with more brighter upper mids and highs. Trebles is extended but on safe range.
Soundstage medium wide, with very good imaging and separation especially when coming from single DD. Detail retrieval is good, average good, not their strength point.
More detailed impressions later. But this is a good buy for TWS for me, all about sound quality.
But still I cant recommend them as decent TWS device, because the trade off for big driver is that they suck out more power so max batt life is 2.5 hours per single charge. And micro USB in 2020.
Will try to burn in (at least for a while, i cant use app, and batt limitation is a hassle)
But for sure im gonna put on micropore tape to make them smoother in upper mids.
