Incredible sound quality at average listening level. Efficiency is average. If you do not have adequate power to pump to these it's possible you may be disappointed. My main issue however is....how do you keep these in your ears? I know all the images show the leads nicely wrapped over the back of the ear. Maybe my ears are defective because they won't hold the weight of the leads and definitely won't support the leads if I am doing anything but sitting still. Final comment would be the instructions that came in the packaging. I count nine languages and nothing in English. After 1st day of trying these IER-Z1R's looks like I may be selling them. Disappointing.

A perfect balance of solid highs & crystal clear bass with this IEM. Just what I was looking for in a comfortable light headset to use for work without any strain.

The Sony IER-Z1R in ear monitors are incredible. The sound is mesmerizing. Bass is awesome and the sound stage is wide and deep. They are and will be my favorite in ear monitors......PERIOD

Had them for about two weeks now, trying different cables, earbud tips, And different music files, And the sound is very good, But the fit is my only complaint, Apparently my ear canals are very small, And these are not comfortable for me, But I am really enjoying the detail and loudness these offer with a balanced cable,

comfort depends on earbuds and the size of each person's ear
