Sony MDR-Z1R Measurements Based Review

NOTE: One disturbing trend I've observed lately is that people finding their way to this site want everything handed to them on a silver platter. That is they want summaries of how headphones sound. The problem with this is that you ask ten random people and you will get ten random answers. This is why the predecessor to this forum Changstar was more focused on measurements.

Sony MDR-Z1R Frequency Response (0db line = 100db SPL)

While measurements will not describe the totality of how a headphone sounds like, they will tell us a lot. For this reason, I am just going to post Z1R measurements and let you guys figure it out. I won't even provide commentary as I usually do. I will force you guys to figure it out. At least for now. I will add commentary later.Sony MDR-Z1R Frequency Response (0db line = 100db SPL)
