But at a fast -paced rate? Mom I don't think it works well for us consumer side

Leave it up to the consumers actually intending on buying the products to decide that...as long as the products continue to fill a demand in the market, they should be justified in getting them out there. Upon its initial release the single most valid criticism of the OG Solaris was that it was too big-- and it was apparent from many early impressions that this was a big deal breaker for many...so in terms of pure economics it made perfect sense for CFA to get a smaller version out as quick as they were able to. Further, it's evident from watching the interview with Caleb and KB that the tech in the 2020 is clearly a step towards a custom version, which is another thing people have been clamoring for since day one. One of the great things about our economic system is that people have a voice in that they van vote with their wallets-- if you don't like them or their products, then don't buy them...but if the products keep improving and selling (which they seem to be) then, whether you like it or not, they must be doing something right. Quite frankly, if Sony were to release an improved IER Z1R which mitigated the issues I had with it I would be all over it as soon as it was released.

People tend to listen at higher volumes on high-power sources, which leads to them thinking the sound quality is better.
Are you kidding me ? Can't you distinguish the detailed sound, and the high volume? Every headset, when combined with the source is not powerful , its not have 3 full range of sound. When using WM1A, what is lost is the detail and the sound layers.

z1r has an incredible soundstage, extremely wide. Compared to my focal clear & Aurender v1000 combo, the z1r brings a good emotional, energetic, pleasant, detailed sound.
z1r works best with powerful devices, better soundstage reproduction, and smoother high ranges. You should not use with devices < 4vrms. The sound will be significantly limited. Give z1r a good environment, and it will shine.

After having the Z1R for two weeks it sold on Thursday. I can’t believe how much I miss them. Now I’m looking to sell every IEM I own to pick up another. Has anyone find a good place to pick one up in Canada? The duties and import fees from anywhere else are really expensive.

Interested in buying some of these to compare against my Solaris. But I can’t post a wanted ad :frowning2:

You need to have made a certain number of posts before you can post in the for sale forums

Anyone know where I can pick a new pair of these up in the UK? I haven’t seen any advertised anywhere in weeks. Usually amazon gets a few in from time to time but nothing.
Why in the UK only? You can shop from anywhere in Europe, can't you?
