Here I use this thread to keep a record of the IEMs that I own or owned, and also hope to help anyone interested in investing in those IEMs.
1. Sony IER-Z1R
Subjective Frequency Graphs:
Notes:
It has a U shaped sound signature. Excellent sub-bass and high extensions. Vocals might feel a bit dry and further back initially, especially if you are used to multi-BA IEM vocals, but not an issue once you are getting more used to the sound. I also believe it's purposely designed that way to create a sense of a huge sound stage from an IEM (which is also a closed design).
Choosing the right size tips is the key; I usually use medium-size tips, S-medium tips work best for me for this particular IEM. When larger tips are used, it will sit too far away from the eardrums, and the sound will loss quite of its fullness as a result. When properly worn, sound isolation is quite good.
Versatile and quite forgiving to lossy recordings. It feels like the Z1R is putting "makeups" to most of the music you hear and making them sound more enjoyable.
Ironically, WM1A does not have a good synergy with this IEM, and the best match is N6ii T1 so far.
