Features

  • Enjoy premium sound with High-Resolution Audio
    Take your digital music collection to another level with High-Resolution Audio. By digitally capturing music at a higher rate than CD, High-Resolution Audio allows you to get closer to the original studio recording and enjoy your music just as the artist intended.
  • 70mm HD driver units delivers high quality sound
    Newly developed HD driver units with a large diameter of 70mm, designed to cover most people’s ears, produce a plane wave front similar to that in a natural sound field and reproduce frequencies from 4Hz-100kHz. Every note stays precise and clear across a spacious sound stage, reproducing the emotion and energy of the original recording, with true vocal clarity and precise bass response.
  • Fibonacci-patterned grill for smooth ultra-highs
    Fibonacci-patterned grill inherited from MDR-Z1R, reproduces the intended sound properties smoothly. It is made of stiff resin to achieve both thinness and strength and minimize sound damping from the grill at ultra high frequencies.
  • Aluminum-coated LCP diaphragm for more precision
    An aluminum-coated liquid crystal polymer diaphragm gives a more consistent and precise sound across the entire frequency range. Combining aluminum and LCP, material-specific resonance is canceled and delivers natural sound with low coloration.
  • 225% bigger Dynamic Neodymium Magnet
    With a newly developed magnetic circuit and bigger magnet, double the size of the MDR-Z7, the MDR-Z7M2 establishes more driving power and a fast response to high resolution signals, which results in sharp clarity of sound.
  • 4.4mm balanced cable connection
    Enjoy clear, precise and dynamic sound with a 4.4mm balanced connection cable, which separates left and right sound signals and reduces noise from the output signal.
  • Silver-coated oxygen free copper cable
    Silver-coated oxygen-free copper cables, enables to minimize resistance and signal-transmission loss. The result is less sound degradation, finer detail and smoother treble sounds.
