Yea ofc it’s ok. But I knew the whole time that somewhere there are sockets for my favorite Z1r which are more appropriate, so I’ve solved this issue .Btw Blanche also was not so comfy for me because of the bulged wires around the ears. Lavri is much more comfortable to use.

Is it a complete Z1R cable made by Lavri or have you had somebody replacing the plugs on a “normal” Lavri ?

These wires are from Lavri. They were braided by a guy from Kennerton audio. Termination and MMCX have been bought separately earlier.
But person from Lavri can install your mmcx also. They are really good guys with a desire to help.

Lavri has cable dedicated for Z1R:

However, I am very satisfied with the stock cable.

I’m thinking of brise audio. Any comments on this? Or a better recommendation ?

Plussound - cannot tell about « better or not », but very comfortable, solid connectors and nicely braided. Love my copper cable from Plussound with the Z1R with special mmcx

Actually that was my first choice. But they don’t supply L shaped plug. Sourcing one to pass to them to braid a cable seems too much work

It this case try Satin Audio. They literally do and get everything you need.

Eric from SA is very helping and responsive.

How to drive IER-Z1R properly ?

Oh!! May be that amplifier is way too powerful for the IER-Z1R ?

Oh!! May be the IER - Z1R is easier to drive than you would think ?

Some initial impression of tips for Z1R. I found that Z1R is much less sensitive to tips, unlike most of the Chifi IEMs do. To me, the major difference between tips is how well do they keep the Z1R stay in my ears, instead of affecting the sound due to the seal. Regarding tips that work for me, none of the stock tips can compete with the SpinFit.

I think I noticed that too? The IER-Z1R seems to change less with a variety of tips.

Agreed, tips don’t change much compared to others , only for what works best

I picked up a IER-Z1R as a part-trade for another set of IEMs I sold, and its really thrown a spanner in the works. I had planned to simply sell them on, I ruled out them being able to live with the likes of my Odins or VE EXT, yet I was blown away by these when I got to hear them. That bass is just SO addictive and enjoyable, particularly as I enjoy bass-driven music but it also sounded fantastic with most genres I have thrown at it. The fit seems to be fine for me with my Spinfits. I heard about the bass on these and was expecting a one-trick pony, but even in terms of treble and mids they managed to surprise me. Listening to them via my Cayin N6ii DAP, a track I have heard a million times like Billie Jean for example, I don't recall sounding so good. Only an hours listen so far, but very impressed by these.
