Funny then how people claim to hear a huge difference in sound.
Well, it only shows how easy it is to trick yourself into hearing things that don't exist when you've paid so much more

Even funnier people at Sony audio d&r and engeneers , people that project a 500gr brick and price it 3x , for giving you the extra hassles or the things that don't exist

1am2 is 290gr

1zm2 is 500gr...half kg
1am2 is sensibly much lighter
1zm2 is not entering in my pockets ..I have to choose a way for transport .. or dress
1am2 do it easy , in and out of pockets , almost any , can pick it up and go..

I personally don't mind if i have ~300g or ~500g in my pocket (or my jacket or wherever). I do understand that some people do mind, but i don't thing its that much of a deal.

I just put it into my pocket like i do with my smartphone. Or now, in winter, i put it into the inner pocket of my jacket near the chest.

Fine .I see how many people would mind taking up easy and carrying the gold brick on the go , and/or would prefer the 1am2 for portable use.

The difference does exist, its just not as big.

At least i am able to hear them with the IER-M9 with Songs i know well and know where to listen, but everyone have to decide for himself if that is worth the money.

There is a slight difference in the sub-bass/bass region where the WM1ZM2 is a hint stronger/has more impact. But again, its not a big difference. Depending on the earphone/headphone you use, you might never hear it

But at least in my testing conditions with the IER-M9, it is there and can be heard.

Hm, 500 grams is for amateurs. Imagine that there are people who think this is reasonable:



2500 grams on the go (weight of VanNuys case additional).

This is looking less ridiculous the more I look at it. I want it.

Tremendous image, I hope one day to get that Dmp-z1 and the MDR-Z1R, they are beautiful.

 

[CarinTorment]

Have you bought the kimber cable on Aliexpress, do you think it is original?

 

[CarinTorment]

Between the IER-M7 and the IER-M9 is there much difference in sound?

What Sony inear do you recommend for metal and rock?

I want to be clear that this is not me or my photo. While I can see why one would arrive at such a point (the Z1-Z1R pairing is simply amazing and addictive), I am more than happy with my AM2 while on the move. My VanNuys case is more about safe transport from A to B, not about risking putting a scratch on a unit that has cost me half of my other audio gear to acquire.

I am sure the enthusiast in the photo has another DMP-Z1 at home.

It is. Its not insanely big but no question big enough to be worth the price. The IER-M9 is better in pretty much everything.

And it is perfectly usable for Metal and Rock of any kind, but also for every other genre. Its an Monitor, it reproduces everything as close to the source as absolutely possible.

But be warned, they are closed. It is not recommend (and can even be harmful) to use them with silicone earpieces. So if you absolutely hate foam, do not buy them.

The current recommendation is is COMPLY TZ-200 or TRZ-200 which are very comfortable, provide excellent isolation and highest possible sound quality

I have the ier-m7 and I use it in the office almost 8 hours a day but I stopped using all types of inear because it caused irritation or something happened to me, and I think it was the m7 that's why you say they are closed, right now I only use pure over.

When the m7 and m9 are closed, what type of damage can they cause? According to me, I get irritated by constantly doing the adjustment correctly and by being closed.
