Editorial note

The Sony MDR-Z1R stands out for its exceptional sound quality, thanks to a 70 mm dynamic driver and a wide frequency range of 4 to 120,000 Hz. This audio performance makes it an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking an immersive listening experience. Additionally, its closed design offers optimal acoustic isolation, allowing you to enjoy music without external distractions. In terms of comfort, the in-ear coupling ensures a pleasant prolonged use, although the weight of 385 g may become bothersome during long sessions. The detachable 3-meter cable adds a touch of flexibility, making it easy to replace if necessary. However, some aspects may disappoint. The lack of an integrated microphone limits its use for calls, which could be a drawback for those looking for an all-in-one solution. Furthermore, the relatively high price may deter some, even if the audio quality features and gold-plated connectivity partly justify this investment. Moreover, the in-ear model may not suit everyone, as some users prefer a supra-aural headphone style for increased comfort. In summary, the Sony MDR-Z1R is an excellent choice for audiophiles seeking superior sound quality and total immersion, but it has some limitations in terms of versatility and comfort for prolonged use.
