From the manufacturer

High sound, tangible quality

Sit back, relax and prepare to experience another level of audio excellence. These headphones combine cutting-edge technology with fine craftsmanship, for the powerful listening experience.

Product Features

Every note, every nuance

The diaphragm with Magnesium dome and Liquid Crystal Polymer edge enables up to 120 kHz playback in High Resolution Audio. The result is unparalleled sound purity and precision.

Pure sound, no added noise

Filtering out the unnecessary with resonance-free housing. A special acoustic filtre controls the air resistance and eliminates any reverberations produced by driver movement, so that only clean, crisp frequencies get through.

Ergonomic sheepskin earpads

The ergonomically crafted headphones are designed to comfortably encase your head in sound; preventing any from leaking and effectively delivering powerful lows. The genuine sheepskin ear pads cushion your ears in luxurious softness.

Enfolding design structure

The enfolding design is tailored to wrap around the ear, sealing music in and keeping distractions out. Acoustics are reflected back towards your ears for the subtlest of sounds.

Titanium and leather headband

Flexible and light, yet durable, for a more natural over ear fit. Beta titanium has high elasticity which will return to its original shape even when bent. Genuine leather adds sturdiness and comfort.

Long-wear comfort optimised

The titanium alloy headband is both flexible and light, for all day wearing. You’ll barely know they’re there.

Expertly crafted in Japan

Sony products made in Japan are synonymous with high quality and performance and the MDR-Z1R headphones are no exception. They are lovingly crafted with only fine components and manufacturing techniques; resulting in high sound quality.

Hard case for storage

The headphones and accompanying cables come presented in a stylish storage case, with separated compartments and a luxury satin lining.
