Z1r is an example of how a good tuning can make wonders and doesn't need 12412351234 drivers and kind of drivers.

Above all, they have a kind of signature that reminds me of the sought-after Hifi signature in the 90's in Europe. Impeccable bass section, slightly recessed mids, clarity, precision, controlled top-end without aggressiveness. A very challenging task.

That's Sony's receipt for the "Signature". Not coincidence that they are where they are. Feels like classic cars. People love the new and shiny. But a nice classic is to where people turn heads.

You just made a strike. Nowadays, they are some IEMs slowly getting their stars on the Hollywood Boulevard, though.

Seems like the aging IER-Z1R are getting more and more attention lately. Fully deserved IMO. They are cult to me, even if I own them since 2.5 weeks.

Appears to be the case. None are avail on amazon for quick delivery anymore. Used to be for quite some time. Now all gone

Accessory Jack, a Hong Kong based webshop still have some. I think.

Yes, where I bought mine - I must say, yet again, a great customer service experience and fast delivery. A few items I've now purchased from them and I can only say good things about the experience.

Fully backing your statement. Top notch service from A to Z.

I am crazy enough that I bought a second pair of IER-Z1R now via Accessory Jack. I need a spare set.

Well, I'm not the only crazy person here!
I bought the first pair in Spring 2019 and the second as a spare a few months ago, both from stereo.com.sg

Why stereo.com.sg, did you get good discount?

Hmm... So you re part of the reason demand seems to have picked up!

One of the best validators that the z1r is special -- people buying two.

While I truely love mine I’ve never entertained the idea of buying back up units of anything I use. If something breaks and can’t be fixed and can’t be rebought at that point I’ll look at what is then in the market and find something new to love

I am wondering if the IER-Z1R would also benefit sonicwise with a pure occ silver cable lik yhe MDR does

To me it does, hence the Dunu Blanche which kills 2 birds with 1 stroke as it is silver and has the swappable tips. So I've got one for the IER and another for my JH13

Wow, you guys do really need a backup I am pretty sure Sony will have a newer version coming out in the next few years.

However, if anyone would like to sell your extra, please let me know.
