Questions & Answers

What is the difference between SE846 and it?

Both of these exist in my life I found them both in like-new condition on Reddit &amp Amazon for a bargain price Head of department This is the first of two things you need to look at. I am willing to pay a price of. Retail price of SE846 is $900 it is also available in black In the range of $500 to $600 There are 650 in the IER- (I've seen them go on sale for as little as $300 on Reddit) Retail is $1700, and the Z1R is $1500 A price range of $1200 - $1500 I agree. Although the Z1R is more expensive, its price does not fall as dramatically as the Z1. There are few secondhand ones available, even if they are used. I'm sure you can guess what this means. The sound quality of your project I would not say that the sound quality of the Z1R is twice as good as No more than ten Are we talking about 15% differences here? offers less punchy bass and a tinier bit of excitement in its sound signature as compared to Z1. Yet, again, those who feel the difference in price is not worth it may not opt for it. Having a website is a good thing. I would like to have comfort - We can clearly see that SE846 comes out on top. The Z1R IEM is large and has a large metal edge. Often I am surprised how long I can go with SE846 on (sometimes I This is how comfortable they are for me), but with Z1R I have to be prepared for some pain in order to enjoy the experience. The Z1Rs are powerful IEMs that are worthy of being flagships (even though I'm still talking about IEMs.) *br> *br>All in all, the Z1Rs are great IEMs. The Z1Rs are certainly very exciting, and you can have a very exciting audio experience with them. Even so, I am fairly certain that most people out there (unless you are very picky about your audio) will be perfectly satisfied with SE846 as the

A z1r of four is a zer. The sound quality of four headphones is superior to three. ?

There's no difference in the type of headphones I'm talking about the connection. The balance of 5 is unbalanced and the balance of 4 is unbalanced. It is balanced to have 4. You can connect to your source device using the cable supplied by the manufacturer, depending on the type of source you use.

Are we still waiting for it to be released? The item is not in stock. Why?

It sold a lot after its release and on Amazon. Two months ago, I purchased it. It's probably on backorder at the moment. I don't expect Sony to discontinue such a popular product anytime

Comparing the over-the-ear version with the under-the-ear version, how does it sound?

Using a pair of these is completely different from using over-ear headphones.

Selected User Reviews For Sony IER-Z1R Signature Series in-Ear Headphones (IERZ1R),Black/Silver

For bass heads, this may not be the best option
4/5

Reviews said that these were very good in terms of their low frequency, which was what made me decide to get them. Those headphones are nice, but to maximize their potential, you will need to buy the Sony Portable AMP TAZH1ES which is another 2100 dollars, and the Sony NWWM1Z Signature Series Hi-Fi which is another 2500 bucks. A Res Walkman will set you back an additional 3200 bucks as well. I've found that even right out of the box, my Astell and Kern Roxanne II/JH Audio Roxanne have a much better bass production than It has always been one of my goals to have an IEM which can deliver the best bass straight out of the box without the need to carry another brick (portable amp) to use it normally. It is likely that I will use portable amplifiers whenever I use the Roxanne II or a variety of other IEMs to enhance their sound, as portable amplifiers are cheaper than this Signature Series setup and are comparable. You should consider it if you enjoy more balanced sounds and you'd like to have a more premium feeling with your IEM and you can afford the other signature series equipment. Despite their age, they are still a great example Do not bother if you are a BASS HEAD and instead, get the Roxanne II [My favorite] , the UE Triple Fi , an Aurisonics Kicker or a Sony XBA Z5. I bought all my stuff on my own and do not work with the companies mentioned here.

With a few caveats, these are very, very good IEMs
4/5

The most recent camera I owned was the Sony In order to give an idea of what I'm comparing the Sony iem with, I've added the Shure 846 and M9 to the list. Z1R vs. Z1R. The Z1R is truly a marvel of engineering as it delivers the deepest bass I have heard in an IEM (in my opinion). Those who are into techno, house, or rap will find these things provide them with the bass impact they are looking for. Also, the Z1R are extremely well built (the ear pieces are made in Japan, but the cables and accessories are made in China unfortunately). So what are the tradeoffs with the IEM-based *-*- - Prices I think these are a bit overpriced yet, at the same time, they are competitive in comparison to I liked the accessories included, but they're not the kind I'd look for when spending over $2,000 on them. The cables, in particular, are quite cheaply made (made in China unfortunately). Cables are generally good, but again, for the price of a who package, I would expect something much more. Furthermore, the price of replacement cables is over $130 per cable, which is excessive considering the quality and origin of the cable. *-*- - I consider the design to be WAY too flashy. This zirconium alloy is pretty, but it calls attention to itself in public and makes for heavy IEMs. - You need to use these with Sony Walkmans (which are also overpriced) and lossless audio tracks in order to get the greatest bang for your buck. As a result, I did not plan to buy a new Walkman because I like managing a large library of music files.

You're gonna love these! To run down my previous points of reference in no particular order, I would like to share these IER-Yes, there is a IER My quest for audio perfection has led me to my ultimate goal the Z1R
5/5

It has so far been pretty good. It is best to use them for special occasions only. My listening sessions require a quiet warm environment and a bottle of wine is a must.

I still have my UE10 Pros, UE11 Pros, W80s, and MDR-850s. They are Z1Rs. Currently, I obtain most of my information from Sony TH-devices The ZH1ES, and FiiO Q5 (soon to be upgraded to Q5S) will be used. My personal opinion is that the W80's are the ultimate all-rounder, while the IER-7 is second to none Listening Z1R's allows you to be critical.

The sound is great, but the band is not comfortable to wear
5/5

It has a very wide soundstage, although the vocals are a bit far away. Buying is easier if you try it first. There are some people who find it too heavy and uncomfortable.

We urge you to buy and frame these immediately
5/5

Basically, I framed these just for the sake of framing. In the present, I listen to music on my $100 headphones while they sit on top of my audio system. It is so fun to look up at the framed headphones while I bop my head to the music.

In its efforts to achieve the impossible, Sony has succeeded
5/5

The best IEM is simply not available. The period ends. Sony One Signature Series DAPs make these beautiful, and by connecting them you are sure to become a fan for life. Even some of Sony's lower-cost DAPs make these a joy to listen to. A closed earphone sounds better than a closed back earphone AND an open back earphone. The textured and amazing bass response are paired with sparkling highs and holographic sound to create an IEM that doesn't sound overcrowded. Each instrument has their own space, and I have yet to hear a song with a sonic blob. I've never heard a soundstage this large or this deep or this tall. It's unmatched both in depth and height. But I must admit, if I am being honest, that fitment may be an issue for some, but at least Sony was generous to include ear tips in various sizes that I did not know The method I used to insert the tips took me a few weeks or even longer to try and figure out which tips worked best for me. My ears are now more comfortable than ever and I don't need to adjust them when listening to music for long periods of time.

A truly amazing audio experience! This was the first time I had ever been able to listen to music with headphones! It was a radical change from my usual music
5/5

The sounds were so foreign to me that they were new to me. The Soundscape was filled with sound entering from all directions, and it was superb. I felt as if I had discovered my music collection all over again. I'm afraid the recordings are even worse when they're bad. Despite their size, they are quite comfortable to listen to for many hours at a time.

This is amazing! This is an extremely high-quality recording! (Ak SP2000 silver at 100% volume (up from max 150% on regular 3)
5/5

The Pros -


A 5mm out,)A - A punchy, powerful and tightly controlled base, well controlled - The mids are good - The highs have been exceptionally clear and bright. Perfect for instrumental music (it sounds so good here, I'm in love with strings and tubes)*- I'm pleased with how the sound stage has been made and how accurate it is. Each instrument is in its own position. The cons are as follows My main concern is the high frequency background noise that I hear with the AK SP2000. It will be necessary to adapt the AK SP2000 for two. 5 mm balanced out** Unfortunately, they are fairly large for my ear canals. The pain I feel at home after two hours using them intensifies after that. It is not yet known if I can use them.
