They're almost completely different thing except the looks, even the similar-looking housings are made of different materials.

sorry, but can someone tell me what is the correct way to remove the earpad? twist it?
or just pull it off?
With some time on hand, i fixed up my EF5 hybrid amp thru a dacport..
and plugged in the Z1000, and wahlaaaa, this bird really SINGss on this combo.
It is finally living up to its billing as a top of the line headfone, whew.
The bloat, spaceyness adjectives can be dropped from the z1000.
It is very in your face, warm...like u are in a small pub stage..
bossa nova is superb on this can, let me try some orchestra musak..
see what happens.
Eiji Oue is on the rostrum now...BOLERO...
getting off onto a HOT FIERY start..wow.. its keeping pace with a gusto..
this z1000 is ON FIRE!!!
i dun hear any weakness ...very very good indeed. rivaling T5p...
need more time on this..but for now..
its money well spent. chowww!!

had both T5p and Z1000. From the same source they're completely different HP, and I (personally) strongly prefer T5p. Tubes will do Z1000 good by bumping the mids a bit, Z1000 sounded better from my small tube bravo amp. That said, it's still not on par with T5p by any means. Sound-stage, FR resembling uncolored sound, detail, comfort are all better on T5p. Only isolation and the deeper and more prominent lower end are better on Z1000 (fixable with EQ for T5p). Z1000 even with a tube amp is less than remarkable for classical music (whether voice, violin, piano, chamber strings or orchestra + soloist). For rock or metal, Z1000 is quite pleasant though, while I can't say quite the same for T5p (although arguably I'm under-amping T5p, so YMMV for bass, brightness and T5p)

I'd rather say z1000 is very easily colored by amping, and for my case I simply don't like to match it with tube ==
And I remember you said before that it is very dark while I have another audiophile friend who find it to be little too bright! (neutral or slightly on bright side imo)
For comfort wise its simply the best I've ever met.
Haven't tried t5p though but I purchased this after side by side comparison with ed8.
