I had a pair of Sennheisser HD660S that I tried to sing over to no avail, however my new/used sony MDR-Z1R pair is letting me sing over it with my deep voice.

Can anyone shine a light on why an open back wouldn’t and a closed back is?

Also, IDK guys, the general opinion of owners is that it is the greatest you can get when your listening to anything and everything. Especially popular music.

    I mean guys, any idea why I’m being downvoted? Like… I get why you could get something a little extra with something else. However, what are you missing with this headphone?

      it’s just a matter of taste. I doubt many here have even tried them tbh… every brand has fanboys and haters, Sony is no exception. I really like their build quality (have 1AM2’s and Z7M2’s) and wear one or the other over 8 hours when stuck in the office, both are super comfortable and I am accustomed to their tonality. Enjoy what you enjoy.

    Mate, meme-monday was a few days ago, you gotta wait for that, the MDR-Z1R is an actual mid headphone, not even close to TOTL

      Isn’t it by definition the TOTL for the MDR series? I took TOTL to mean the highest offering for a series of headphones.

      Not saying anything about their quality as I never heard them.

      Sometimes I wonder whether posts like these are real or high level trolls. This might be the headphone equivalent of the famous Reddit post where a guy claimed to get in trouble for eating dinner with his girlfriend’s family and pretending he didn’t know what potatoes were. Most likely fake but still hilarious.

      There was a post last week where someone got to audition the HE-1 and complained that it was “mediocre.” I started typing a response then just closed without saving … not worth the time.
