MDR-Z1R Signature Series

Radiance or MDRZ1R, they make any genre smooth and enjoyable

MDR Z1R. I love the bass quantity and quality

Could not agree more. Perfectly said.

They are light and very well built. Listed at 385 grams.

They absolutely are no where near as good as the MDR-Z1R for audio, but the AirPods Max have better modern features and techy bits

It's a really narrow peak I think it's a problematic headphone that doesn't work for everything, but too many people also make assumptions based on graphs without hearing it The 3 and 10k peaks are not nearly as big a deal (to my ears) as the graphs would make you think And conversely, headphones that measure quite well can end up having peaks that the measurements don't show On-head measurments for the Z1R would be interesting I get a peak at 3k but really only need to reduce it a couple dB. Not nearly dramatic as it graphs.

Aww, I love mine for techno!

Look into aftermarket pads for your current pair. Dekoni and ZMF make excellent pads for many headphones. Not a practical recommendation, but the MDR-Z1R have the fattest and deepest earcups I've ever worn.

My Sony MDR Z1R is the only closed-back I've ever owned. But I'm completely obsessed with them.
