If they fit you well and arenāt fatiguing to listen to for long stretches, it seems like youāve found a winner!
One thing I love about the Z1R is how they just give you all the accessories with the IEM in that lovely case.
I was considering getting a set of these, but decided against it as my ears donāt seem to agree with strong dynamic drivers in IEMs, but Iām curious what your thoughts will be on them.

Iām gonna really try and make a big effort on thisā¦as Iām just a music lover and reviewing things seriously is a bit alien to me lol

Please try them. I want to know what you think!!!

Just let us know what you think of them when youāre ready. Thx!

Ohmboy, donāt wanna break your heart butā¦
Ha yeah I am well aware of the MEST, I asked Chris what he thought of them back in early July lolā¦But I wasnāt gonna risk spending that amount of 
on a product that has 2 tunings (why?) and whatās their qc and warranty like?..Thereās a world of awesome high end IEMās out there so where does one stop, Iād love to hear a pair of @M0Nās MMR Thumminās for starters but thatās another tier up 
So far I have no regrets with the Z1Rās what so ever, I could send them back as they were an Amazon purchaseā¦but that aināt gonna happen

Just listened to the most honest, resolving and entertaining replay of Pink Floydās Dark Side of the Moon on my source ever with this setā¦ fucking 
'em.
Oh and @M0N ā¦on The Great Gig in the Sky I can clearly hear Patricia Watts saying āI never said I was frightened of Dyingā

Iām glad you got to meet your hero. Sounds like the two of you are getting on better than famously.

Funny how we enjoy different things @Pr3ssAltF4 heās selling his Androās because "they are definitely a bit overhyped" Iāve just swopped over to my Androās from the Z1Rās and listening to āThe Cowboy Junkiesā with them on the iFi Micro, SpiralDot tips and the Forza Hybrid cable they sound dope so 
PS obās still have a 
for the Androās lol
Lol, yea. I heard the Z1Rs also. Definitely not my thing. Andros sound great, donāt get me wrong, but they fall by the wayside in comparison to the other stuff and donāt quite deliver what I want. Like I canāt give you any flaws with them, just that they lose out in at least one area to literally everything else (but are never slacking in that category either). Iāve heard quite a few similar opinions on them as well.
Was running them via QP1R, QP2R, Hugo 2, Ares II + RS-08, which are all pretty synergistic for them. Used fancy capistrano cable and the default smoky litz. Final, symbio, spinfit single, and spinfit double flange. Nothing really made them stand out, they just sounded pretty good all around. Thereās a difference between pretty good and phenomenal though, I think the Final B3s are phenomenal with the right pairing, andros are just pretty good all around.

Mate I couldnāt get any of the two types of supplied Sony tips to fit, theyāre both too shallow?..looked side by side with the Spinās and the Spinās are a tad longer but the same sort of width thoughā¦If I had bought the Z1ās and only had the OE tips Iād not be happyā¦How ever Spinās and Spiralās work and fit greatā¦didnāt really like the finals on them though.
This is exactly what I needed to know. It continues to back up my assessment that Spinfit tips are the best silicone tips available. I donāt know what I would do without them. I certainly wouldnāt have the IEM collection I do since they enhance the sound of the IEM, they easily fit & seal better than any tips Iāve tried (some wonāt seal at all), come in a great assortment of sizes and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. If I hadnāt found Spinfit tips, I probably would have given up on IEMs all together by now.
Spinfit tips were my gateway drug into IEM addiction. I need to go into rehab.
This advertisement was NOT paid for by Spinfit tips. Believe it or not.

The OE cables are surprising comfortable and fit wellā¦in pictures they look like bent coat hangers lolā¦they can be slightly microphonic but itās no biggyā¦in fact this IEM and all the accessories look like theyād survive a nuclear blast tbh

After living with the Z1Rās for a couple of weeks I have to concur with Chris when he saysā¦Legit end of road set, save up, buy it, enjoy the music.
Itās now really hard to reach for another set tbhā¦saying that I do still use my Androās for vocal centric and acoustic stuff and the Vegaās for EDM, DānB etc when iām in the moodā¦but dang I could happily live with just the Sonyās, Iām so happy I had the courage of my convictions to grab this setā¦ not cheap I know but they sound better than 10 x $200 sets which took me a while to learn lol.
If anything else changes then a new source might be on the cards when my wallet recoversā¦Thank you Sony and @hawaiibadboy

The one I had was this style of box. Not sure about the cable though.
