Review: I been hearing lots of praise for the mdr-z1r and now that I have my own I believe it definitely deserves it. The mdr-z1r are extremely well constructed and designed with absolutely no creaking and at least for my head the headband is just the right tension that works together with the deep molded earpads that soft in a way that It seals around your ear but it's firm enough to maintain its shape keeping my ears from making contact with the drivers, making these the most comfortable headphones I worn yet. For this section I may not know the correct technical audiophile terms to describe the mdr-z1r's performance and you can get a better description from other reviewers here, but I can probably describe the z1r better by comparison with other headphones I have, for example: Mdr-1am2, good build quality and light as a feather but earcups are shallow and sometimes it creaks a bit, sound profile is v shaped with more emphasis on the highs compared to the z1r but somewhat less subbass and very narrow soundstage which is expected for a typical close back of its price range. Mdr-z7m2, this one is very comparable in build quality and comfort and having that wide soundstage but the sound profile while still v shaped and detailed it's kinda dull across the board especially when compared to the 1am2. It's like if the z1r was to split into two separate headphones with the z7m2 having the build quality and the soundstage while the 1am2 keeps the exciting sound profile. That concludes my review of the mdr-z1r and I hope this gives you a better idea if you happen to own either of those headphones in the comparison.

**Q: Are the drivers angled like the Z7 or they are straight firing?**
A: They are angled like the Z7, I guess for the great sound stage of it.

**Q: why is the international version cheaper? also how does this comp[are to HD800S**
A: Cheaper because it doesn't come with manufacturer warranty. Sorry, I don't have HD800S but this one right here is a closed can, and HD800S isn't

**Q: How would this compare to the sony mdr-z1m2 ?yes i know the z1 has a 70 mm driver, vs the m2's 50, but lots of other common features, ballncd cable et**

ＰＣ→IFI audio NEO iDSD2→付随のｹｰﾌﾞﾙでﾊﾞﾗﾝｽ接続→本機にて使用 ロック、ポップス、ジャズ、フュージョン、クラシック等を聴きます。 もし『ヘッドホンの世界史』というものがあったなら、 その教科書には必ず記載されるであろう日本の傑作機です。 現代においても本機の輝きは全く失われていません。 ソニーが主張する"空気感"は、劇場やホール、ライブ会場、あるいはリスニングルーム等に身を置いて、 全身で音楽を聴いているような、そういう雰囲気を芸術的に作り上げる革新的な要素だと思います。 それは所謂”広い音場感”といったものとは全く別物に思えます。 ある意味でヘッドホンらしからぬ音作りで、 耳元でクッキリ高精細な音が鳴るというようなタイプのヘッドホンではなく、 聞けば聞くほど、上手く練りに練った音響調整だなあと感心してしまうようなタイプのヘッドホンです。 キンバーケーブル（MUC-B20SB2）も保有していますが、 リケーブルすると全体的にプレゼンスが増して音像が前へ迫ってくるようになります。 一聴して美音と分かるような音になり、ある意味でヘッドホンらしい音の出方になりますので、 こちらの方が好みだという人も多いかと思います。 個人的には付随のケーブルで発揮される”空気感”が本機の唯一無二の”凄み”であると感じているため、 普段は、もっぱら付属のケーブルでバランス接続して楽しんでおります。 じっくりと気長に、色々な音源を聴いてみてください。 本当によく練られたヘッドホンだと段々気づいてくるはずです。 本当に買ってよかったです。 ソニーの有線ヘッドホンラインナップであるMDR型番は、 今やプロ向けラインでの発表でしか目立った新製品が見られず、 コンシューマー向けとしては無線ヘッドホンのWH型番の製品開発が優先されているように思われます。 そういう時流を見ているとソニーの有線ヘッドホンのフラグシップ機として 本機が最後になることさえ想像され、生産完了前に入手しておくことに 一つの歴史的価値さえ感じる、そういう製品だと思います。 本機は正に、ヘッドホン史におけるマスターピースの一つだと思います。
