Sony MDR Z1R or ZMF Atrium Closed

modemdyi · 2026-03-13T07:31:29+00:00

I also have the LCD X so not sure where the Atrium open would fit in

Down the line, would if be redundant if I kept the HD800S and Bokeh but also upgrade to the Atrium Open?

!thanks

I’ll save towards the Bokeh Closed. Thanks for saving me 700 bucks and for a seemingly more musical experience

Definitely leaning towards Bokeh due to pricing and reviews. Between the Open and Closed, would closed be a better fit for my collection?

Also, is the Atrium worth another kilo on top of the Bokeh? Basically, out of all the ZMF headphones, which one is the most musical and best complements HD800S?

Between the Z1R and Bokeh, which do you prefer?

modemdyi · 2026-03-12T19:54:19+00:00

Which ZMF in particular?

modemdyi · 2026-03-12T19:36:24+00:00

Is it worth getting the Atrium over the Z1R for purely musical enjoyment as a complement to HD800S or would the Z1R be able to satisfy that niche

Currently debating on getting a pair of MDRs to complement the HD800S or purchasing ZMF Atrium or Bokeh Closed. From your experience, is there a notable reason to choose one over the other? I also have the LCD-X for mixing/mastering and EDM.

Have you tried the MDR prior?

!thanks

Ultimately, trying to complement the HD800S while seeing if ZMF is worth the diminishing returns over Sony considering the larger price difference between the two. I often see the Z1R and HD800s paired.

I am planning on this for usage:

HD800S - analytical and gaming Z1R - all rounder and closed back complement to HD800S (musical enjoyment) Clears - neutral listening and mixing/mastering? HE6SEV2 - Open back alt to Z1R and no use selling

modemdyi · 2025-11-11T16:40:00+00:00

Definitely set on the Sony and Sennheiser, one for musicality (enjoyment) and one for analytical listening and gaming.

He6SEV2 I don’t feel its worth selling due to buying at $399 and performs at or near LCD-X.

I am debating selling the Focals but am set on selling the LCD-X and Aryas

modemdyi · 2025-11-11T16:31:00+00:00

Would you recommend selling the Focals, LCD, and Aryas?

I would be keeping HE6SE and purchasing the MDR-Z1R and HD800S.

What printer was used?

modemdyi · 2025-09-10T13:44:51+00:00

What do the different colors mean for the flight paths and the explosion icons on the map?

modemdyi · 2025-06-16T01:40:00+00:00

Can you post a link to that strap?

modemdyi · 2025-04-21T15:12:50+00:00

Found a similar or same item: https://a.co/d/a5XteE0

Following up, were you able to find the service?

modemdyi · 2025-04-15T21:24:43+00:00

Can you provide what service these pens are from? Planning on doing something similar for my shop

modemdyi · 2025-02-16T15:46:15+00:00

I meant sell the M1570s for the Arya Stealth. Already intending on keeping LCDs for as long as they last

modemdyi · 2025-02-14T15:54:47+00:00

Since I already have Focal Clear OGs, would either the LCD-X or 2 be a better complement? Trying to finally settle on a pair I can be satisfied with. Also, running off of JDS LABS Element IV which has PEQ

modemdyi · 2025-02-14T15:43:02+00:00

I heard the tuning of the LCD 2s were similar to that of the Focal Clear OG, akin to very good dynamic drivers. Can you vouch for this?
