Sony Digital Radio With Free Headphones

I've used these headphones for decades, both personally and professionally. I work in radio and prefer these Sony headphones to any other. They're comfortable and sturdy -- I had my previous pair and gave them a lot of use for more than 25 years before they finally wore out. I expect this new pair will do the same.

I worked in radio for a few years but had never gotten around to buying a nice set of headphones at home (was using a cheap Sony pair from college that were super comfortable). This ATH model is obviously beautiful, but also sounds magnificent. I can wear them for hours without fatigue or pain, unlike some others I've used. You're not likely to find a better value for the money! Outstanding.

I've been using the Sony Professional Headphones since my days working in broadcast radio decades ago. Today I do a lot of video shooting and editing in my career, and these are the headphones I take with me in the field. The quality is awesome, as is the ability to fold the ear pieces into the head band... which makes it easy to pack with my other gear.

Good headphones for radio broadcasting

I've had this for almost a year and feel they are a real breakthrough in headphones. It's a big, grand sound along with palpable, natural images with real-life spatial portrayal. They are not fatiguing, especially with the optional Sony-Kimber headphone cable made especially for the Z1R (available at Amazon). The Z1R to me has a wonderful warm resonance that does sound aggressive, but is still uncannily real. The music flows but has real impact and humanity. You may want to give up on speakers with these headphones. It's a unique sound that you will not find with any other headphones. Many high end headphones can be shrill and painful in the name of a vivid sound, but that can be hard to live with. Not the Z1R, it is inviting while also resolving, with a balanced sound that is riveting and still supremely musical and detailed. And it's very comfortable too. It is best with a good, fairly powerful amplifier. The Z1R is a real cure for over-shrill digital sound. It sound analog, almost vinyl-like with any digital input. It's an awesome achievement for Sony IMHO.

Nice set of headphones, got them free after purchasing my Sony FX30, Sigma 16 millimeter F1 .4 lens and my RODE NTG mic.

I received these free with my Senal Headphones and what a fabulous idea! I had two similar Sony brand headphones years ago whose earpad coverings started flaking off and disintegrating in under a year. This product prevents that by preserving the delicate, faux final earpad covering material.

reliable and piece of beauty that keep digital time and gives you the radio too.

I produce and cohost Art Star Scene radio on Radio Free Brooklyn. Since the shutdown I've had to do this from home and did not have decent sound quality (which is imperative) until I purchased this kit. My listeners can now enjoy quality almost as clear as in our studio.

I own the wave radio, headphones, sound bar and also the speaker. I’m very happy!!
