The Sedna ear fits I bought are good. Changes the sound up a bit in a good way.

Final audo E tips are basically the same silicon tips sony already includes with the z1r.

I get a better fit with the Final than with the Sony so there is some difference

The Sedna are the only non-stock ones I've tried, and didn't like them at all fit- and sensation-wise. Didn't use them long enough to compare any sound difference. Maybe another size would be better, but I'll stick to the Sony hybrids as I think I got used to them in the end.
Eventually I do want to get custom tips, mainly for a more secure fit to make it easier to run and work out while using the IERs.

None of the custom tips I've seen so far for the IER would be good for running around.

No I would think they will stick out way too far and at any rate the Z1R don’t have any IP rating so I would never use them for physical activity

Yeah you're probably right.

I've successfully used them during relatively light work out using the stock hybrid tips, though occasionally I do need to readjust them a bit.
I really want to be able to use this for its intended mobile use, since at home the big bro MDR does everything better overall (the only thing to miss from the IER is the treble, but that's just something only a super tweeter right up against your eardrum can do). Otherwise I'll hardly have occasion to use this treasure of an IEM.

I never even thought about that. What do you think could happen?

 

[riverground]

what tips u all think is the best for ier z1r.

It seems larger bore tips increses the soundstage and reduce the base abit and smaller bore tips make vocals abit more intimate and increase the bass slam.

I swear by the JVC Spiral Dot tips now. Ever since I've got them, I've never taken them off. Gives the Z1R more space and Air.

The further they stick out the stronger the cantilever effect is going to be due to the big and heavy house and with no IP rating and hence protection I would expect they could be prone to damage from sweat and rain

Was doing some work and then Opus by Eric Prydz came on. Had to stop what I was doing so that I could jam out. These iems do that track so well.

I tried it too, ye it gives them more soundstage and airy treble but imo z1r doesnt need more of it than it already has ,it made vocals even more distant so I switched for modded stocktips. They go in deeper and smoothens out the treble more and bring out the mids.

Modded how?

 

[soundperfection]

Modded how?

cut out a rubber stem of size 5 wide bore eartip and sqeezed the stock silicon tip stem into it. It provides a more snug fit and extends the eartip lenght so it can go even deeper in the ear canal.

Hey everyone, I recently made the decision to get the WM1A in an effort to get an endgame DAP that I can be happy with for years to come without any issues. And while I am very happy with the decision, I feel that my current selection of earphones/headphones are limiting my enjoyment of the this DAP simply because of the inability of either headphone to run in 4.4 balanced mode. I am now considering to get an endgame IEM that would last me just as well and allow me to utilize the WM1A to it's full potential. I am definitely considering the IEM-Z1R as this endgame IEM but I was just wondering if owners of the WM1A and Z1R can provide me their opinions on the synergy of the 1A and Z1R.

Back when I first purchased the IER-Z1R, the 1A was at firmware 3.01, the combination was the greatest. My personal opinion was the 1A and IER combo won out even over the more expensive IER-Z1R and Walkman 1Z combo. Since then firmware 3.02 has arrived as well as a plethora of firmwares to really get any sound you want from the 1A.

Truly a great combo! Cheers!
