Just buy em! They’re amazing, I guarantee you’ll never look back. I bought them blindly and was so glad I chose these. Only downside is that you’ll never be able to listen to anything else inferior to these without getting real bored, real fast!

I would be very careful with this sort of "guarantee". Just because you like something doesn't mean everyone will feel the same. There are so many subjective factors, especially in audio. I'm sure you mean well, but are you really willing to make good on that guarantee?

I certainly would. They are that good.

Where is a good place with a good discounted price to buy the Sony IER-Z1R?

 

[Kiats]

Thanks, I sometimes get fatigued even with 1Z and Z1R, will keep away from SP2KCu

Hmm.... yes, that would be a problem. Best avoid then. Tho the SE200 is interesting because it has both AKM and ESS DAC chips. But you should definitely try it out first.

I might part ways with mine...not using it much. What has been market price on these in excellent condition? thx

 

[daniel_hokkaido]

fit is so individual. I have large ears and use LL tips and the fit perfectly but on the other hand I was never able to get on with or get a godd fit with the Z5

Good to hear. How did the z5 cause problems? It needing a straight line into your ear canal?

The ier 1zr...new boxed from accessory jack is 1600$...so would need to be around $1200 I'd assume based on the Listings I saw on e earphone

Even with LL I was not able to get them far enough in to get a good seal and pressing them that far in caused pain after less than an hour. I reckon that they would have worked with the Xelastec L though

Well, I stand corrected then. However, I’ve yet to run across a single soul who expressed even the most minor disappointment or annoyance regarding these, aside from the fit issue, which seems to impact a minority. If your ears are on the larger size, there’s a pretty good chance they’re going to fit without any discomfort. Even if they're not, they'll most likely fit without issue. I'm six feet, my ears aren't disproportionately large, and I can't even get a proper seal with the hybrid LL size tips, as they're not big enough.

Hmm yeah really need to try these out before buying. Accessory jack replied to my email and confirmed returning them due to fit issues isn't covered under their returns policy

I would look at Moon Audio. You’re not going to find these new with a Sony warranty discounted here in the U.S..

I know this is 'classic' but I'm having a dilemma whether I should go for IER-Z1R or just went straight to 64 Audio U12T.
Have tested U12T and like it, but didn't got a chance nor avail to demo for Z1R, however, I do have a good history with Sony cans so far (EX1000 ,EX800ST & CD900ST)

What’s your preferred signature? What do you prioritise more in your iems? I’ve owned both and personally I think the Z1R smokes the U12t.

I wanted to say something like that, erican IEMs are like their cars (Ford, GM) they work for a while, feel.pretty average but dont last quite as long as say a German or Lamborghini, ferrari

This article says otherwise about German cars, perhaps the LEAST reliable. American cars aren’t good, either.

But anyhow, the IER-Z1R are my number 1 go to phones, IEM or over ear. I think they define the perfect sound.
