HD800S: my classic music specialist. Nothing comes close to it when playing violins on these, especially apply some eq. DCA E3: best all-arounder, extremely clean sound and can play basically everything well. Huge plus being a closed back. Focal Utopia: superior technical performance and my vocal sp

I returned the PX8 S2 and kept the original PX8. The original is an excellent headphone. The PX8 S2 signature may be more neutral and detailed but for that, I have other devices which are better. For example, Sennheiser HD800s, Sony MDR-Z1R, 64 Audio U18t's and others. I know my case is very differe

Try Aviscerall! Dreams and Remember to Save are the albums with which I'm most familiar. I've never heard such massive and warm low end, truly does wonders with it. His music pairs very well with R2R DACs and U shaped frequency response headphones like Sony MDR-Z1R IMO. But it's also super fun on a

HD 800S is not for everyone but was definitely the one for me and it doesn't get any better for me up to the current point.I'm not sure about the HEKse or HEK Stealth, and any other Hifiman, ZMF & Denon headphones, had no experience with them. In my opinion, the HD 800S has the best imaging and soun

I’m using Sony MDR-Z1R. I’ll find out in a few days how well it works. I picked it over a Sony amp because of the pre-amp capability; I thought cool also.

I have SONY MDR Z1R, Sennheiser HD800s, Grado Hemp and Sennheiser IE900. I enjoy them all. The one I would never get rid of is Z1R.

WM1 is 250mW + 250mW which is pretty decent and will drive them comfortably unless you have them mega loud. Other DAPs are more powerful but doesn't mean sound better as noise floor might be amplified with the music. I know people have no problems driving the Sony MDR Z1R with it.

There are a lot of wireless headphones that are much better than the Sony XM series. They really have fallen behind the competition. When the first generation came out, they really were the best in a fledgling market. Since then, Bose and Sennheiser have taken back the reins. It's sad because Sony m

I use my Sony MDR-Z1R for late night movies. They get the job done convincingly.
