SONY IER-Z1R
- Thread starter leylandi
- Start date
I just ordered these on your recommendation. I'm having the same fit issues, good, not great. Other tips I've tried degraded the SQ. Do these come in different bore sizes? I want to make sure I ordered the correct ones. Here's the Amazon product page I ordered from:Thanks to @hshock76 , this tips are “Awesome” with IER Z1R.
It has excellent fit and comfort. The sound quality is excellent. It has deeper bass, more dynamic and micro details with sparkling trebles and better soundstage
The way I have always been observing tips and iems is that it can absorb a certain frequencies ranges based on it constructions and materials, and also how well it seal the ears. It results in variations in performances. Hence they are very important
Somehow these Tips IMO, don’t absorb any frequencies ranges, and allows the Z1R to unleash every littlest details/performances that is there
An excellent buy and totally recommended

Wow thank you. It looks like I should buy Small size, finger cross with MS then.M size Spiral Dots is 12mm, The Sony Hybrid silicone and Triple Comfort MS size is also 12mm.

The triple comfort tip does hurt my ear a lot but it restored the best bass I want to have, lol
It might be a bit higher than the stock tips. I used MS or S on stocks but use S or SS for xelastec. Just my experience.Wow thank you. It looks like I should buy Small size, finger cross with MS then.
The triple comfort tip does hurt my ear a lot but it restored the best bass I want to have, lol
I always end up with either inner or outer pain with stock tips. These Xelastec are working wonders so far.

You better try the S and SS (both are 11mm) Sony Hybrid Silicone first, before buying the the S size of Xelastec.
The SS Triple Comfort (10mm) is not the same size as the SS Hybrid Silicone.

Have you tried KSE? Ideally KSE1500 with some slight eq to add body to bass, and some upper mids/ lower treble energy... and it’s audio bliss. Especially if you like speed, layering and metal!I'm a metalhead so if you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick one, I'd choose the Z1R, simply because it gives the bass drum so much impact, and makes the music (especially in double bass sections) much more lively. The Z1R is also the obvious choice for electronic music. But if I'm in an OCD mood for detail and resolution, I find myself on laser-focusing on fingers plucking guitar strings, for example. In that case, and more generally for acoustic music, the VX is the obvious choice.
IMO these are two complementary IEMs. But bravo, Sony.
Think it might be right up your alley

The better seal and comfort I believe enable a better sound!what do you guys think about the sound with these? much of a change either way?
Better seal for sure. I don't detect any notable change in SQ so far.what do you guys think about the sound with these? much of a change either way?
out of curiosity, how do you guys insert them? Lift back ears or just shove them in?
