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.

New on this IEM journey and I must say they sound better than my 3x priced headphones.
I like the sound and clarity.
Coming from Juzear Defiant and Punch Audio martilo, I would say that this is the best I have till date. Excellent in terms of clarity and technicalities. Being a medium sized IEM it is very comfortable for long listening sessions. Kudos to TAS for their excellent service.
I visited the experience store at Pune and Pritham and his asistant were very warm and welcoming. They patiently explained the pro's and con's of the Hidizs and gave me alternatives to try like the Truthear Nova and Simgot Supermix. Experiencing the different IEMS helped me maake a solid choice of what I wanted.
Also took time to sample an open back Sennheiser HD660S and the Hifiman Sundara. Was able to clearly make out the differnce betweeen a planar magnetic and DD. That helped me know what my prefernces were. Truly enlightening experience ended with a great purchase in the HIDIZS MP145.
These are my first IEMs. After a bit of research, I decided to go with the KZ Castor Pro as my first IEM. I'm really impressed with the audio depth, the crispness of audio and the clarity and separation of instruments and vocals. The music feels much different than the usual TWS earbuds which I was using before! The packaging was good, and delivery from Audio Store was good! Glad to have officially entered the IEM clan!
The Audiocular Spark DAC is amazing and it really enhances the audio quality compared to using my IEMs directly on my PC. The build is excellent, durable and it also comes with a carrying case. The packaging and delivery were both good. Really glad I bought this from here!
Unbelievable this TANCHJIM Bunny Type-C DSP whenIwas unboxed and listen immediately lheard totally theatricale experienced.It'stotally mesmerized me in sounds. In this price unbelievable soundquality. That's why this TANCHJIM Bunny Type-C DSP is more value than itsprice. Thanks once again to Pritam ji for suggestingme so wonderful IEM.
I herd of them and brought them was concerned but the audiostore team was gental and the quality of product was superior
Sound quality is very very neat and clean and in depth. Best purchase ever.
It's an amazingproductforthe price
I purchased these during christmas- and my initial impressions were that these were packaged well, and felt very premium in hand, except for the cable.
The bazz is very lacking, and the iems are unusable without tuning. After tuning these sound full, and have beautiful clarity. Definitely recommend if you can tune them. Also very good for video editors and others who need stock audio
It sounds wonderful 👍
I am very satisfied with my purchase and currently enjoying hi-res audio with my iem. Best looking and build quality is also good under 1K
This is my first IEM. I like the way it sounds. Though I expected much better soundstage but it is good. After using this, I will definitely buy my second IEM. Trust The Audio Store, they delivered as expected. Actually someone suggested me on reddit to go with audio store and I will definitely recommend others the same.
Just got some time with these and here's my honest take:
Comfort: These things are stupid comfortable. Lightweight shells that disappear in your ears, zero fatigue even after long sessions. Stock tips are meh though—nothing special, you'll probably want to tip-roll.
Sound:
- Vocals are pushed forward and warm with less sparkle/energy up top. Great for that intimate, smooth vocal presentation but not if you want bright, analytical vocals
- Bass is elevated and textured but definitely not basshead levels. Hip-hop/EDM heads will find it lacking
- Treble rolls off early = excellent sibilance control. Zero harshness or fatigue, perfect if you're treble-sensitive
Who's this for? Warm vocal lovers and anyone tired of harsh, sibilant treble. Long listening session champs.
Who should skip? Bassheads, treble sparkle chasers, people wanting analytical/reference sound.
For the price, these carve out a nice niche—they're not trying to do everything, just warm and smooth really well. Worth it if that's your vibe.
Very Crystal Clear Sound And balanced Bass as human ear appreciates (Harman Tuned). For me my expectations matched. Now it's time to see how longer time it's sustain .
