Yeee, I love me some spiral dot tips.Much better than the spin fits IMO, which dampens treble and congests the soundstage, making the A4 sound too warm and narrow.

My hd598's just failed on me, the left driver makes a crunching noise when listening to anything with bass. Luckily I still had 4 days of warranty left on it, so I'm sending it back for warranty. In the meantime, i bought a pair of Philips SHP9500's and I'm really enjoying them, more so than the...

I was hoping the USB Audio 2 driver would work on my Micca Origen+, but unfortunately I get a code 10 error when I install them manually. Guess I'm stuck with the massively outdated VIA drivers for now.

The A5+ suffers from a smiliar problem. I owned a pair of A5+'s for a little over a year and I found that the A5+'s had too much mid bass, not enough sub bass, and the highs were just OK. I ended up selling them, and now I own a pair of Fluance SX6 bookshelf speakers along with a Topping TP22...

I don't know how the DN-2000's sounds, but I briefly owned a pair of DN-2000j's and compared to the LZ A4's, the treble on the Dunu's sound very sibilant and harsh, and I would almost say sloppy.The LZ A4 is much smoother on the treble side of things, while being as detailed as the Dunu's. As...

Update: 1. LZ A4 2. Brainwavz B2 3. Dunu DN-2000j 4. FiiO EX1 (Dunu Titan 1) 5. Ostry KC06 6. Havi B3 Pro 1 7. Fidue A73 8. Hifiman RE-400 9. Brainwavz S0 10. Klipsch S4

I highly recommend the LZ A4 http://www.head-fi.org/t/812329/lz-a4-impressions-and-discussion-thread   I own the Dunu Titan 1 and briefly owned the Dunu DN-2000j and they don't come close to touching the LZ A4 imo.

With EQ probably, but not out of the box.

Any post rock appreciators in this thread?

I purchased a pair of the "youth edition" piston 3's from Gearbest.com I'm not sure if they are fake or different from the real piston 3, but I find the sound quality to be lacking, especially in the treble department. It sounds very dull and dark, contrary to the v-shaped signature others are...

Fidue A73 > Brainwavz B2 > Hifiman RE-400 > Brainwavz S0 > Havi B3 Pro1 > Klipsch S4

Maybe I'm a treble head, but I don't find the A73's harsh at all. If anything, I think it could use a touch more sparkle.

I've been looking for a hybrid IEM to replace my highly enjoyed pair of Brainwavz B2's I lost, and this thread, along with the sale on CTCaudio has convinced me to purchase a pair. Cannot wait!

The Klipsch Image S4's I have are the very first ones they release, and I believe they have changed a lot since then. The stock tips I actually found worked and fitted pretty good. They didn't come with that many tips, but there are plenty of after-market ones available. I was able to wear them...

Weird thing is, my Havi B3 Pro 1's came with some ear guides. I've noticed mine were packaged differently than what other people had. Instead of the clear plastic box, mine came in a cardboard box. It also came with a different carrying case and some ear guides. I bought mine from mp4nation.net...
