I have a question! Can you ask them will they release a wooden cup version of this just so we can see how the driver sounds with wood, ZMF do great things with wooden cups with the Eikon and Atticus which in ways were inspired from the original MDR-R10.

If they make one they are now obliged to send me one for the idea! :L3000:

If the Korean review's raw FR measurement is accurate, the Z7M2 seams to have a faster transition from the upper bass region to the lower midrange region than the Z1R, which should help reduce the perceived 'midbass bloat' that turned some people away from the Z1R. But from 400Hz on up, it looks very similar to the raw FR of the Z1R that was measured by Tyll.. :thinking:

It just comes down to if you like the sound signature of the Z1R or not. It is definitely an acquired taste, but having listened to the Z1R's on multiple occasions, and giving my brain time to adjust to their strengths and weaknesses, I've come to really enjoy them.

So if the Z7M2 can offer a big chunk of the Z1R's performance for a fraction of their price, I'll be getting a pair ASAP!

So do you currently own a Z1R and are thinking about getting the Z7M2 also? I had the Z1R for about 20 days and loved it. Am saving up for one but now this Z7M2 is interesting due to the lower price. The Z1R's did get warm after a few hours, nothing new with closed cans, but I am wondering if these additional vents on the Z7M2 would help with that.

I don't own a Z1R, but every time I drop by The Source AV I always give them a good listen and they are currently my favorite closed-back headphone.
I just hope that the Z7M2 can get close to the Z1R's level. As soon as TSAV gets a demo pair, I'll be there, and I'll report my impressions here.

I'm thick with graphs, I understand the frequency from low to high but haven't got a clue at over is it 2 k the z7m2 dips compared to the Sony Z1R,does that mean the Sony Z1R is too bright or the Sony z7m2 is too dark?
