Just take note that once you click the Kimber in place on the IER-Z1R, they will almost never let go. I’ve never experienced anything like it, ever?

The M9 also holds on to the MMCX connectors like a T-Rex to its prey, but I had decent success with repeated tries rather than with brute force.
Pulling really hard didn't help, but trying again and again, one time the connectors would let go with moderate/normal force.
Lets put it this way - these are the most secure MMCX connections!

It's a historic union like white on rice!

Ill get a final audio MMCX assist duo pack from AJ

They work just fine for me.


True the design on the Z1R isn't optimal but a little playing around will yield a good technique.

Can you explain or make a video of the te hnique you use to remove MMCX from IER lineup using MMCX assist?

The device is too large to fit in the same way it's used on the A8000 (orange arrow) however this is used
to advantage. By applying the device at an angle as shown in the first image, and slipping the device
between the Z1R and the connector as shown in the second image, you DO NOT SQUEEZE the assist
device but lift the end of the assist device in a prying motion instead (grey arrow). The connector comes
apart from the Z1R very easily.

For those still looking for the elusive IER-Z1R stock, there is now one pair on Amazon UK. I don't think they will last long so be quick! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GT586BV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_q4suFbR967JG4

i got the Xelastec MS, M, ML, usually I use large Final ear tips, and with z1r only the MS fitted me perfectly, and I really like how it makes a tight seal, and I like the sound way better than stock or final tips. Those tips balance out the z1r in a nice way, and improve the mids no doubt, adding more body to mids and vocals sound fuller and more detailed. really amazing tips, did not expect this improvement with those tips. And what i like most about those tips is you do not loose seal while talking or drinking as easy as regular tips

It improved all my iems: solaris 2020, jhaudio lola, khan.

Simply ordered 3 more pairs

Agreed... These Xelastec tips are game-changers for me.

95% of the isolation of Comply foam tips, with the (subjectively) superior sound and (objectively) superior durability of silicon tips.

I @#$%ing love these things...

Just buy em! They’re amazing, I guarantee you’ll never look back. I bought them blindly and was so glad I chose these. Only downside is that you’ll never be able to listen to anything else inferior to these without getting real bored, real fast!

I had a most unfortunate incident whereby I seem to have managed to misplace the stock 4.4mm balanced cable for the Z1R... Does anyone know where I would be able to by a replacement which will ship to Asia?
