The latest trend that Sony is trying to set is to create a space for ‘High Resolution Audio’. With their recent international launch of the ZX2 Walkman priced a little over an already whopping Rs. 61,500 ($1000), the High resolution audio revolution has made its way to the Indian shore in the form of the MDR Z7 headphones that’s also designed to delight the auditory senses of Indian audiophiles.

Just to give you a quick rundown on the tech – High Resolution Audio is typically an audio format that can reproduce audio very close to the original sound as recorded in a studio or concert hall in as much detail as possible.
