The Sony MDR-Z1R Original Headphone Cable is the genuine Sony 3.5mm cable made for the MDR-Z1R flagship headphones. The MDR-Z7 and MDR-Z7M2 use the same screw-lock connectors, so it fits those too. Supplied brand new in bulk packaging (cable only).
- ✓ Genuine Sony replacement cable for MDR-Z1R, MDR-Z7 and MDR-Z7M2
- ✓ Gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug for DAPs, laptops and amps
- ✓ Dual 3.5mm headphone-side connectors with Sony screw-lock collars
- ✓ Brand new — bulk packaging (cable only, no retail box)
If the cable on your MDR-Z1R is damaged or lost, or you simply want a spare, this is the genuine part. Unlike generic replacement leads, it is Sony’s own cable, built to match the Z1R’s connectors. The player end is a gold-plated 3.5mm stereo mini plug, so it connects directly to portable players, laptops, audio interfaces and headphone amplifiers.
At the headphone end, two 3.5mm connectors plug into the left and right earcups and lock in place with Sony’s threaded collars, so the cable cannot be pulled out by accident. Sony uses the same connector design on the MDR-Z7 and MDR-Z7M2. There is no microphone or remote. This unit is brand new and unused, supplied in bulk packaging — the cable only, without the original Sony retail box.
Fit
MDR-Z1R, Z7 & Z7M2
Sony uses the same dual 3.5mm screw-lock connectors on the MDR-Z1R, MDR-Z7 and MDR-Z7M2, so one cable fits all three.
Plug
Gold-Plated 3.5mm
A standard 3.5mm stereo mini plug works with portable players, laptops, audio interfaces and headphone amplifiers. For a 6.3mm socket, add a standard adapter.
