Yep I bought from eBay, think they were called angel eyes. Real leather, thicker pads than stock and sound better due to your ears being slightly further from the drivers (my ears used to touch the foam)
Agree, bought one a view weeks ago here in Austria.For those thinking the MDR-Z1R is discontinued, this is how it looks like surfing the web in Japan
So Sony is paying for advertisement for the MDR-Z1R. I know its not available in most countries outside of Japan but, it is still the current flagship and sold well inside japan.
The best sold Headphone by Sony in Japan is the MDR-1AM2, followed by the Z7M2 and the MV1. But given its price, its no surprise its not a best seller
Correction: When the sales numbers are corrected by the price (so an 1x2000$ has the same rank as 10x200$), the MDR-Z1R was 3rd place in 2022. So it is sold well
So don't be afraid to grab one, its far from dead
Strange business, MediaMarkt only sells the z1r in Austria. Not even in Germany wich is a far bigger market.Seems like Austria is the only place in Europe that still has it. MediaMarkt, I believe. I asked them if they can ship it a bit west, and nope. So I had to get mine from the US. Serial number 148xx.
I fond that strange too, they dont even display on their phtsicalsyores high-end walkman models. Onlythese cheap ones that play only MP3/WMA, not even AAC lolStrange business, MediaMarkt only sells the z1r in Austria. Not even in Germany wich is a far bigger market.
Ordered mine and got it the next day...
