Which organ do I sell to be able to afford this?

Just bought the Sony Z7 of eBay for £290, had to cut out the neighbors lungs to buy them. For the Z1R I would have to do in the whole row.

How do these sound without an amp?

I have the NW-WM1A Walkman and I also have the XLR4 Sony Hi-res headphone amplifier. The Walkman easily drives the headphones with volume to spare. So far as quality is concerned, I didn't notice much, if any difference using the amplifier. The amplifier is useful to connect feeds from other sources such as CD players. These headphones were to be the final item of my triple Sony purchase to get me into hi-res audio. However, I sent them back as I wasn't happy with the quality of sound that they provide. It gives a very rich and warm sound, but I compared them with my AKG K812 headphones which I bought a few months ago. The K812's have a much more natural and detailed sound with some exquisite detailing around the edges of notes that was completely missing with the MDR-Z1R. The AKG phones are around half the price of the Sony. I felt that the thickness of sound from the Sony would be wearing after lengthy listening, so I boxed it up to send it back. Overnight I had doubts. Maybe I hadn't pushed the plug in completely or something. After all, these phones have had such good reviews. I unboxed it again and listened with them and compared them with the AKG's again. It really was a no-brainer; the Sony phones went back. If you like a thick bassy sound, maybe these are for you, but if you listen to accoustic and classical music, I suggest trying the AKG's. They really are wonderful phones. Note that the Sony are closed phones, while the AKG's are open, so you wouldn't want to listen to them in public. Also, with the AKG's you will need to push the volume control on your Walkman somewhat higher. Note: I am nearly 70, so maybe my hearing isn't like that of a 20-year old. Ian Gaskell
