Sony IER-Z1R Signature Series In-ear Headphones: Elevating Your Sonic Experience
Crafting Sonic Perfection
Originally designed to evoke a profound emotional connection, the IER-Z1R In-Ear Headphones redefine audio excellence. Every meticulous detail, from driver construction to acoustic design, is dedicated to delivering an unparalleled auditory journey.
Harmony in Design
The drivers of the IER-Z1R are not just components; they are a symphony in perfect unison. Painstakingly designed, each driver contributes to a consistent sound signature, resonating as if operated by a singular, flawless driver.
Unrivalled Frequency Response
With a frequency response extending up to 100kHz, the IER-Z1R introduces a super tweeter featuring an aluminium-coated LCP diaphragm. This innovation ensures an ultra-fast response, faithfully capturing the dynamic transience of music and recreating a live concert hall atmosphere.
Dynamic Diaphragm, Deep Bass
Inheriting the diaphragm structure of the MDR-Z1R, the 12mm dynamic driver boasts a magnesium dome and aluminum-coated LCP. This full-range driver delivers not just deep bass but also fine mid-high sound, providing a rich and immersive audio experience.
High-Definition Reproduction
The newly developed Balanced Armature driver, equipped with a magnesium diaphragm, silver-coated copper voice coil, and gold-plated terminals, reproduces high-definition sound, capturing even the smallest fading notes with precision.
Precision Engineering, Distortion-Free Capacitors
The dedicated film capacitors on the network, derived from thousands of listening tests, ensure lower distortion. Utilizing audio-grade solder throughout, the IER-Z1R maintains maximum signal transparency for an authentic listening experience.
Natural Acoustics
Drawing on vast engineering experience, the IER-Z1R's finely-tuned acoustic structure guides audio from its trio of driver units seamlessly, creating a natural sound that feels as if it emanates from a single, ideal driver.
Refined-Phase Structure
The Refined-Phase structure aligns sound waves through precision adjustments, eliminating vibration and unwanted resonance. This construction ensures perfect clarity and liveliness across musical genres, maintaining time coherence and wide frequency response.
Immersive Sound Space Control
Employing Sound Space Control technology, an acoustic tube connects to the cavity behind the driver unit, presenting a wide sound space with rich and natural notes, achieving balanced sound from low to high frequencies.
Preserving Purity in Signal Transmission
The quality cable supplied with the IER-Z1R preserves signal purity, enhancing sound quality, wearing comfort, and minimizing touch noise. It's designed for an immersive musical experience on the go.
Crafted for Audiophiles
The IER-Z1R supports a 4.4mm standard balanced connection, minimizing cross-talk and sound deterioration. With a silk insulator, non-magnetic plating, and silver-coated oxygen-free copper cable, every detail contributes to a pristine audio experience.
Japanese Precision and Quality
Expertly crafted in Japan, the IER-Z1R headphones embody Sony's commitment to absolute quality and performance. Using only the finest components and manufacturing techniques, these headphones deliver an exceptional sound quality that stands as a testament to Japanese craftsmanship.

Most convenient
This was a gift for a friend of mine. The shipping took some time but when it reached them it was shipped the same day and after two days it was received. It came in perfect condition. I'll copy my friend's review below:
"This is most balanced IEM with a touch of warmth among everything out there. The Bass is just a bit much and with a 3db high-pass filter it became perfect. It doesn't get much better from this. The soundstage and imaging is decent and competes with +800$ stuff. The tuning, resolution and timbre is one of the best even under 2k. I'm very much in love with them. The comfort is pretty decent. I haven't got tired of them even after long hours."
The audio quality is very crisp and refreshing
The sound just amplified after using this with my kz castor pro IEMs....it is amazing.
Great product, strong magnet and holds the DAC snugly. Wish the 3M sticker was sold separately as well as already started to come off (user error).
the Detailed and balanced sound. then the design is so beautiful, the white version looks very good.

Quality
The amount you pay for this DAC is absolutely worth it. I'm using it with my PC, and I also have a Fiio KA13. It provides 32-bit 48000Hz audio output, and it's really good. I'm connecting it via a USB-C port and one extension cable (AGARO 3.5mm Aux Male to Female Extension Cable, Gold Plated). There’s no audio loss whatsoever.
The only minor issue is when you use it with a mobile device — the blue light can be a bit annoying. However, that's more of a personal preference. It also makes some noise with certain songs, but that's actually a known issue with the CS46L41 chip. There's no need to worry though; unless you've used a high-end DAC before, this will be more than enough for you.
Bass and clear vocals

Excellent sound quality
After searching internet found this dac which has multiple input options and support 165*2 watts passive speakers and 350 watt passive subwoofer for future extension, tested with all input modes, bluetooth input feels a bit of low quality as it only supports sbc and aac codecs only, however if you want to use mobile via wired, alternative options 1. connect using Portronics Bridge Y USB 3.0 to Type C OTG Adaptor via USB A. 2. Use audiocular d08 cs-pro usb-c to 3.5 mm and 3.5 mm to rca input (cable creation brand). Optical input mode supports PCM (loss less stereo output) and Digital compress audio multichannel only) these are specific to Sony X-80J 65 inch
Thanks a lot Pritam Ji for suggesting me to use a balanced cable with my Moondrop Aria IEMs and thanks a lot for ordering Moondrop Aria filters for me. The Audio Store goes out of the way to serve Indian audiophile community.
The way my IEMs sound with a balanced cable and Shanling UA2 Plus DAC & Amp are unprecedented!
I am grateful Pritam Ji. 🙏🏻
