Sony® Signature Series Z1R Premium Over-Ear Headphones

Product Overview

Every note, every nuance.

Capture pure sound with the 70 mm (2.76") HD Driver. The newly developed 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 filter controls the air resistance and eliminates any reverberations produced by driver movement, so that only clean, crisp frequencies get through.

Ergonomic sheepskin ear pads

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-optimized

The hanger and slider are manufactured with thin and high rigid aluminum alloy, which provides optimal comfort for a long period of time without secular change.

Raising the bar on audio standards

The MDR-Z1R headphones have been engineered to deliver a wider frequency range, reproducing super low and super high frequencies of up to 120 kHz. The wider dynamic range richly reproduces every minuscule sound. The result is an immersive, captivating listening experience.
