Listening to beethoven on those, wow beautiful piano music

Pretty much this! If we all prefer and agree on the same thing, then the world would be boring

In the same vein, not sure why our overzealous mods deleted my pithy response, supposedly the holy grail of head-fi is ultimate transparency and direct musical reproduction. The IER-Z1R is a good iem with its share of flaws that few, qualitatively, would argue absolutely transcends the market at its price range. Like Whitigir ironically implied, it is more another expensive flavor than a leap in sound quality. It is very much indicative of the market. Some of these people are much more familiar with some technicalities than logic, assuming they know what they're talking about. Keep in mind this is the same alchemist who transformed, supposedly, the tiny iBasso module amp from its value of $200 + $130 to beating $6k of desktop gear the enthusiastic reviewer claimed he needed five figures to upgrade for superior performance. If it wasn't for mods I'll make this place even funnier than it already is. But alas, let's be civil.

How do you use the case that came with it. I don't understand how to wrap the cables right the rubber

 

[Rockwell75]

Selling everything. Keeping only Andromeda.

Trust me. Really really hard decision.

Bad decision...you need Z1R

Don't worry, he'll be back.

 

[djricekcn]

LOL if anyone can appreciate the z1r, it's me with my supersonic hearing.

 

[rutter]

$580 brand new. Let's do a little market test.

 

[djricekcn]

Wow. But xbaz5 still does better in some genres.

 

[Dt1193]

Hey guys, is burn in a thing? I've two pairs of z1r. They sound slightly different. Newer one sounds brighter more exciting.

 

[Dt1193]

I think it's possible that not each pair sounds the same. The difference is actually quite noticeable.

 

[Whitigir]

Well, there is always engineering tolerances. Are you selling both of them ?

Hours on both? Burn-in is a thing and while I'm uncertain about the IER-Z1R due to source changes I made Redcarmoose has claimed its burn-in should make a serious positive difference.

That’s called unit variance.
