Agreed that makes a lot of sense from my experience with the T50RPs.

Thanks for your input dweaver, very helpful indeed.

I think I will see if a can use a couple of the little hole re-enforcers used for paper in a binder in conjunction with some panty hose material to create a mesh cover. My second walk confirms blocking the hole does helps but I would love to not affect the sound. If anyone has a suggestion for easy to obtain materials I am all ears...

i dont mind wind noise since i rarely listen to reference tracks while on the go. the ex series iems have wind noise problems as well but i still bring it outside.

So has anyone actually ordered these from Sony United States? Are they actually instock?

I talked to a guy at the SONY store in Sydney and they still aren't in his system. 
I walked away with some half price ZX700s tho.

I wanted the silver version so I had to order from my contacts in Japan.

Zx700 are really pretty good, still love mine.

+1  The Z1000 is even better so I hope the 1R doesn't disappoints.

I had the chance to listen to the MRP-1r using my Ipod classic as source. I use AAC 320 mb. Listened to some Stanley Clarke Jazz and some good Rock for about 15 minutes. They sounded very balanced and I could not find a treble peak, so the pirates should probably love them, but who knows..... i was on the verge of buying them, but I will sleep over this decision another night. Yes they are very comfy, but I found that my ears got a little warm during this short period. did anyone else feel this too?

I should be getting my silver's by the end of the week.  I'll be able to compare these to the Momentums, COP's, UE6000's and the L1's.  Wish I had the M-100's to compare it with also but I have a feeling those will be keepers for sure when I receive them.  I have high hopes for the Sony's so I hope they don't disappoint.

In a regular temperature office building and at home I find the 1R to get warm on my ears. So in a warmer environment I could see these getting hot. But in the frozen Canadian North they are the ultimate earmuffs LOL. BTW in cold temperatures the stock cable gets pretty stiff.

Anyone know if there are any graphs to be found somewhere?
