Financially the M7 is a possibility for me, maybe similar to what the then flagship Z5 was (?), but I'm getting a bit depressed hearing how awesome the other 2 are. I loved my A3 but always new that the better one was the Z5 and it was within reach.

I plan to get the IER-Z1R too, perhaps from Accessoryjack. and i will keep my Z5. I am still deciding

M7 is kind of boring compared to the other two to be honest. You gotta like your monitor flat sound. Treble is a bit reserved on the M7 giving a warmer tone to the sound. For $799. Imo your better off getting a B stock Andromeda. Which has a similar sound tuning to the M9.

I'll try them but I may have to look elsewhere, I'll read up on the Andromedas

Accessory Jack for the Sony's - usually free delivery.

Because of the issues I have with the Z5's fit they definitely have to go, but finding a replacement with the bass and soundstage they had will be hard. Sony over the years has always had a satisfying bass presentation that kept me coming back for more but unfortunately the M7 I don't think can cater for my tastes, but you never know. I think I'd like to know if the soundstage of the M7 is on par with the Z5. I am open to change (I think)

Why M9 over Z1R if I may?

M9 sounds the most accurate and correct. Z1R is more fun but the price is also close to 2 times more.

Thanks Dsnuts!

I like fun - the most expensive, bummer

 

[FangJoker]

I'd like to wait til people get the Z1R in their hands and listen to them for hours on end and give me feedback on the fit. I am very concerned about buying another sony that fits me badly.

Been spending alot of time with the M9 over the past week, full review can be found here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sony-ier-m9-in-ear-monitor-headphones.23359/reviews#review-20999

I would definitely try M9 and z1R, even though they might have more bass than I expect.

If the M9 is just like Andromeda, it won’t have an emphasized bass

I suppose M9 is not like Andros. M9 should probably has more bass.
