owners of z7...can u briefly comment about the center imaging of the z7?
i passed by a shop yesterday with the z7 set up with the sony amp n player..loaded with their sampling songs..
the sound was enveloping from behind my ears..all over...the imaging of the singer i cant get a good fix..
maybe it is the songs they loaded..?
There are a few units on the web for around 500bucks ..tempting.
Hmm for me the Z7 is more similar to 1R but with turbocharge machine while the 1A have more treble presence and lower bass impact
Just using the SE of AK240 as a source at the moment, these Sony MDR-Z7so are so enjoyable!

IMHO, if you really want a poorman z7, there's the MDR-1A. Try those stuff. Quite amusing sound for its price btw.
The MDR-1R too and at a cheaper price, nice 3D soundstage, i hear the flute on my right ear, the cello #1 on my back, cello #2 on front/center, the viola on my left (Haydn flute quartets, if interested ACCENT, Barthold Kuijken & his brothers i Think)
Not mean any offense, but generally the flutes are in the left or center part of orchestra, so flute should be on left ear unless the microphone is located at viola parts. At least in my case I cannot remember hearing any flutes coming from my right ear.
Giving an example, Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46: Morning Mood, I can clearly hear flutes in left earcup of Z7, and I know they are located in left and close to center. Those oboes are on right ear; tuba and French Horns are behind oboes which are also on right ear.
Again, I didn't mean any offense but imaging especially the ability to locate instrument parts is the top priority when I purchase headphones, and luckily Z7 does everything that I need.

Yes you are right even on a quartet they are onb the left... <drum rool there>.... I was putting the MDR-1R <hand palm in the face> "backwards"haha the R side on my left side and the L side on my right, pardon my foolishness.. just saw the markings on my MDR-1ROut of excitement i just put them as got them , put them "backwards" to avoid the annoying Headphone jack rattling prob. of the MDR-1R
