SONY Hi-MD sounds too magical with my IER-Z1R

Hmmm I am probably one of those who dont feel the difference in sound changes from 1 firmware to another.

But I am using the latest 3.02 and it sounds very good, my ier-z1r love it

I think "feel" is the appropriate term.

How would you compare the Sony to the Atlas in terms of resolution and soundstage?

Sony clear , detailed , sub bass , huge sound stage. Atlas Bass and nothing else.

I disagree slightly with jmills8, but agree overall. Soundstage and resolution are definitely better on the z1r than the atlas, no question.

Atlas is a very bassy signature, but I wouldnt say it has nothing else going for it. If you want massive bass and massive sound all around, go for the atlas. Otherwise, I think the z1r is better in almost every aspect... except fit.

Atlas is a straight up failure

Other than having more (and lower quality) bass, I don’t see a single area that the Atlas “beats” Z1R in. Personally, I even had more fit issues with Atlas than Z1R.

Do any London folk know whether there is a store where I might demo these? The Sony website is inscrutable. Thanks.

You can try them at Harrods, they have them on display.

I bought these but haven't used them yet. They seem like the same thing.

It's not lower quality by much, and given their respective price points what you gain with the Z1R is about what you'd expect. Atlas is an excellent IEM on the whole and is by no means a failure.

Thank you, but I'm looking for the OEM ones. Because those tips work best for me, and especially how quiet they are when I have to move a lot.
