LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread
Thank you for the comparison. BAX PRO intrigued me; I didnt have any experience with EST drivers until now. Overall, I also bought it. In general, very interesting IEM with many positive aspects. However, I still prefer LZ A6 much more. I haven't heard such airiness in the upper range anywhere...- Steve80

TRN impressions thread
What's the difference between TRN BAX and TRN BAX PRO ? Pro version was released later, and it's black color; otherwise, the specifications seem to be the same at first glance.- Steve80

LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread
Thank you for feedback; it was interesting to read. Regarding the ToneKing model that has a tuning similar to the A6, from what I found, I assume it might be the Toneking T88k? I've never heard of this brand before, did some internet search, and it seems they have quite a variety of iem...- Steve80

LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread
Still A6 is one of the best IEM I've ever owned. still amazed by the sound quality. Is there anything similar on the market in terms of tonality right now? I was considering getting the Lz AX, but it's a bit expensive for a purchase without auditioning. I've had A7, liked them, they are good in...- Steve80

Hello from Japan. I have the opposite experience. I owned the SR15 player for three months. And I've been owning the Onkyo players since its release, for many years. I've had the entire range of Pioneer and Onkyo players, small and large ones. I've tried many different players, but I always came...- Steve80

LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread
I like blue nozzle. It sound the most open and airy. As for tips, everything is very individual. I have tried many of them for 3 years. I used AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC For TWS for a year, its good. And fix it well in the ear. But myfavorite is Ultimate Ears 900s's tips , its a very soft and...- Steve80

LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread
Yes, maybe it is a bit unnatural. But i like it clarity and this detailed sound very much:) Just like many people love powerful bass. I think the A7 play more natural in the mids, but lack airiness and openness in the upper mids. A7 don't play sounds, that I hear in A6 on instrumental music...- Steve80

LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread
I completely agree. I own LZ A6 for almost 3 years, and couldn't find any replacement. I bought LZ A7, but the upper-mid frequencies and airiness of the A6 cannot be compared. Yes, at some points the A7 is very interesting, but it dont have that beauty of the upper-mid frequencies, that...- Steve80

= HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =
Well, I own Ananda almost for a year, and to be honest, I’ve listen Sundara more often, very like it. And I regret that I sold my 560s, and made an upgrade to Ananda. Although, personal experience is the most valuable.- Steve80

In Sundara, the middle range is better developed than in 560. Otherwise, it’s a matter of taste preferences. I like the sound of 560s more, than Ananda.- Steve80

I appreciate the same things on these headphones. 560 unmatched and airy on instrumental music. But the middle is slightly failed. I advise you to listen Sundara, It is amazing headphones, especially for its value. I think you will like it.- Steve80

Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)
I like Sundara for its tonality and extension at high frequencies. Ananda attenuation is faster. I like when attenuation on HF is slower. Sundara is better for Instruments such as: a triangle, bells, xylophones and other high-frequency percussion. But Ananda is much more convenient, you can...- Steve80
