No, I dont think Z7's cable can work with 1R. There are many after market cables for 1R though.
I had a quick listen and had my TH600 with me to compare. The sony is quite a bit harder to drive. The Sony missed that sparke up top and sounds rolled off in the highs. There's a lot more mid bass in the Sony but less sub bass. There's more detail in the TH600. The Sony is very easy to listen to, isolated better and slightly more comfy. The Sony may be a bit too laid back for my liking. Still would be a good buy at $400 but my TH600 is better in most ways so no real point in me having another closed can for my train journey everyday

Awesome, thanks for the quick replies guys. I'm just uncertain whether or not I should wait for "The King". I'm hoping to establish my first real set-up for games and music, and if Sony has an even better headphone coming out maybe I should save up some more and just go all out. I'm not looking to make a huge investment in the MDR-Z7's (PHA-3 & Kimber Cables included) only to turn around and find that a better pair of cans are available. I would have to sell the MDR-Z7 set-up to come close to being able to afford the King's. I have the funds at the moment for a one-time shot at this.
What do you guys think? Wait for "The King" or pull the trigger now?
If you like sparkly highs, then the TH-600s would be the way to go (I own the TH-900s). But the Z7s have more "natural" overall sound and the mids on the Z7 are better to my ears. The TH-900s have better bass and soundstaging.
Yes the mids on the Sony are thicker sounding. I have yet to hear the TH900 but the TH600 is cleaner sounding (for lack of better words) and probably more suited to trance music which is 80% of what I listen to when on the go. I'm using these cans as my portable.

I thought the Z7 walked all over my TH900 as far as balance goes..not sure what the 600 does though, never heard them.
So technically, either way I should wait (either for the price to drop on the Z7's or for the king to reveal itself)?
