The MDR-Z7 is Sony‘s latest release, and is characterized as utilizing “high-resolution audio” technology, and in addition to superior sound quality, also boasts a 70㎜ diameter diaphragm, as opposed to the standard 40㎜. The diaphragm is said to be composed of aluminum-coated liquid crystal polymers, and the body is made of metal. The MDR-Z7 is priced at 699,000 Won, which is approximately $655.
The use of idols to promote products isn’t remotely new, but netizens have been reacting very positively to IU’s endorsement for Sony’s MDR-Z7. Does an endorsement from your favorite idol mean anything to you?
According to IU, “I’m putting the final touches to my new album” and that “there won’t be a separate producer for the album, instead I’ll be involved in many parts of the album directly and accomplishing things on my own, which is a ‘challenge’ to me.”
Also, “It could be something with a more serious (theme) than before, but it’ll be an album that contains my own thoughts”."
