No enthusiasm? For me is totally the opposite... Every review (except Tyll and a few others) I watch in Youtube love so far the Sony Z1R. Here, in it's thread (althought, you know, happens in all threads) there are a lot of Z1R fans. Even people that prefer them more than costier headphones. I always remember a guy "dmdm", now he changed his name here, that fell in love with the Z1R and decided to sell all his TOTL headphones (for example, the LCD4) and he only kept the Empyreans, the Abyss TC 1266 and, obviously, Z1R. He is always saying that he prefers Z1R to all his other headphones, like

@bythebookiii purchased his Z1R from amazon.com or amazon mexico.
