TIL Hitachi stopped producing their "Magic Wand" because it was a famous vibrator but were convinced to restart sales, removing their name and calling it "Original Magic Wand".
I don't know what you're talking about, Sony MDR-Z1R is such a catching name for a pair of headphones!

Tonight is the night for headphones
HD800S: my classic music specialist. Nothing comes close to it when playing violins on these, especially apply some eq. DCA E3: best all-arounder, extremely clean sound and can play basically everything well. Huge plus being a closed back. Focal Utopia: superior technical performance and my vocal sp

What is some bassy warm dark music?
Try Aviscerall! Dreams and Remember to Save are the albums with which I'm most familiar. I've never heard such massive and warm low end, truly does wonders with it. His music pairs very well with R2R DACs and U shaped frequency response headphones like Sony MDR-Z1R IMO. But it's also super fun on a

Px8 or Px8s2
I returned the PX8 S2 and kept the original PX8. The original is an excellent headphone. The PX8 S2 signature may be more neutral and detailed but for that, I have other devices which are better. For example, Sennheiser HD800s, Sony MDR-Z1R, 64 Audio U18t's and others. I know my case is very differe

Amp pairing for MDR-Z1R
I got the TA-ZH1ES for $800 SGD EU version 2 almost brand new 2 months ago for the MDR-Z1R, best pairing for it's sound signature. The dynamics comes alive much more better than just using it with the NW-WM1ZM2 walkman. I connect the walkman as my source through the amp and to my Z1R, most comfortab

No budget limit. Best headphones for gaming and music.
HD 800S is not for everyone but was definitely the one for me and it doesn't get any better for me up to the current point.I'm not sure about the HEKse or HEK Stealth, and any other Hifiman, ZMF & Denon headphones, had no experience with them. In my opinion, the HD 800S has the best imaging and soun

Hi-fi shops
I’m using Sony MDR-Z1R. I’ll find out in a few days how well it works. I picked it over a Sony amp because of the pre-amp capability; I thought cool also.

Should I get a Jottenheim 3 as a pietus maximus owner?
While I can't speak directly to the PM, I do have the Jotunheim 3 and it is my favorite headphone amp for sure, plus a pretty decent DAC (although I think I prefer the better definition on my miniDSP FLEX's DAC, which is also ESS-based). I already had a few warm leaning headphone amps, including the

Have great day, everyone!
Despite the fact that I'm a sony boi, and actually had a wm1a before - they are not powerful enough to drive headphones. At least the demanding ones. They drive the mdr z1r perfectly, but other big bois, nope unfortunately
