I have ordered a MDR-Z7M2 to use with Astell & kern DAPs.
I saw that the balanced cable is 4,4 MM.
could you recommend me another balanced cable with 2.5 mm TRRS ? or an adaptor 4.4mm female to 2.5mm Male ?

thanks

Did the same. Thanks much for posting the offer at B&H. I seriously think they made some error but hopefully will honor the price once the order has gone in.

Curious, have you received any updated status on your order?

 

[Doug2507]

I have, stock due in mid Jan and will be shipped when it arrives.

 

[DenverW]

That’s good to know, mine just says “back ordered.”

 

[Doug2507]

Yeah, same. Emailed them to see what's happening and replied shipping mid Jan so sale is accepted. Woot!

Oh, so fabulous. Excited!

Thinking of getting these for use with my WM1A. Mainly use with my XM3 via LDAC when on the move, however I find the XM3 sig to be slightly too dark. How does the Z7M2 sig compare? I’ve seen some people elsewhere say/imply that it’s also dark sounding

I listened to them on demo at Best Buy in their Magnolia store and I thought it sounded great. They have 70mm drivers and the sound is big, enveloping and warm. They gave me the impression of a live performance. It was great. I would certainly not classify them as dark, but for those that enjoy bright, bass-light signatures, they’ll probably not like these.

The predecessor was the one that's dark. These ones are a bit more V.

Beyerdynamic has cables for the T1 and T5p both second edition. They offer a 2.5 mm balanced cable. I have the 3.5 mm cable on my Z1R right now. Well made OCC pure copper. Should be what you need.

Also the connector of the Sony MDR Z7M2 are not exactly the same as the Z1R ones !

I'm considering order this supposed upgrade cable : GUCraftsman 6N silver for Sony MDR-Z1R MDR-Z7 MDR-Z7M2 2.5MM/4.4MM Balance Headphone cable
the 2.5 mm balanced one for the Sony MDR Z7M2.
the cable is : 6N OCC silver wire

will this cable be a real upgrade with the headphone ?

I have basically the same thing as @headfi19 and it works like a charm. Honestly, probably won't make much of a difference. An upgrade from a bad cable to a good cable is perceptible, but from a good cable to a great cable is a crash course in diminishing returns. Maybe if you have the hearing of a dog, sure, it may be worth the money, but you're better off investing in a upgraded AMP/DAC.
