It's true. In many markets it's retail is $2200. In the US market it's $2300. If it's reaching 2.6-2.7 SGD that means their street price is about the same as here in the US now.
It's $2,299 in US but prices have varied internationally. I haven't seen discounts in the US besides $100 here and there from BuyWise, an unauthorized seller on Amazon.
I never got to hear the R10, probably was a teenager at the time, but I don't want to miss out on the next best Sony offering like the Z1R. I'm sure I'll get one eventually whether now or later and used or new. I'm thinking the Z1R will be an excellent complement to my HD 800.
Were the R10 limited in production numbers whereas something like the Z1R will have many more out there in circulation for people to enjoy even 10 years from now.
Hi, is there any way to prolong the lifespan of z1r leather headband. Seems not user replaceable. Don't think it's a good idea to put leather-protecting product on it, as it direct contact to skin/hair. My other headphone, shure SRH440's headband deteriorate really bad. its synthetic though.
By the way, you can buy them new on ebay too with free shipping from Japan and elsewhere. They get to the US quickly and seamlessly with tracking (via EMS).
The Z1R is one headphone that IMHO you can buy w/o auditioning first with confidence.
(Just my opinion, but I don't hear or feel those noticeable possible flaws that could be deal-breakers I always detect in most other headphones that make me pause before recommending buying w/o trying.)
Buying from ebay sellers is pretty much the same as buying from Price Japan for Stax I think. But PJ is gone I think, at least for a while.
Ebay and paypal give you some measure of protection, probably as good as Amazon I'd say. I never had a problem with them over the years.
It probably is preferable to pay the extra hundred dollars or so to get them from an authorized dealer in the US though. I used ebay and it went fine.
What is up with Z1R US authorized dealer availability? Are these selling like hotcakes? I'm waiting for amazon to get them instock but only a bunch of no warranty sellers are selling them...
