Try better tips?

3x better than the N3? Gonna need something to back up those claims

Did you get some wide bore tips? Also be prepared to burn them in a bit.

Any with a mic?

Additionally, I find that wearing the N3 over ear brings back some of the bass that the wide bore tips lessened without damaging the rest of the spectrum! Man I love these things. Cable microphonics are awful though, I don't want to spend a ton money on a new cable.

Update! I got some cheap wide bore silicon tips from amazon https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F718K5D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_pAQTFbH6744DK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. The sound is massively improved.

I'm using the small silicon tips that came with my RHA. They have quite a decent size opening. The mids, particularly the lower mids are lacking. It feels like the bass and treble are right in your ears but the mids are in the distance in front if you. It's not as tangible as I'd like. I enjoy...

I currently have a pair of RHA MA750i, I found a good deal on the XBA N1AP for about 65pounds. How do they compare? EDIT: Found a pair of used N3AP's for 90pounds on ebay. A steal, although they had some physical blemishes. The sound is on a completely other level compared to my MA750i, which...

I have the RHA MA750i for a few months now , I bought them at a much cheaper price off eBay, as such I don't imagine I could use it's warranty. I only decided to buy them because of the durability and sound quality. I came from a pair of Sony EX650AP's which were extremely good for the price if...

The RHA's for me are more suited to classical. They lack the very low rumble in the bass (bass is definitely there but is not the main focus, impact is present).Opting instead for a more open distant soundstage. It's very detailed and the highs are never too harsh. The vocals are very very...

Z3 Compact + RHA MA750i  Really good. 

Are you able to connect the cable for the right bud into the left and see whether that works? If it does then you need a new cable

How do these compare to the RHA MA750i?

How do the 1MORE's compare to the RHA MA750i?   I listen to classical and instrumental soundtracks. That tends to mean solid tight bass with clear treble and smooth mids.   I'm wondering which one to go for. What's the build quality like, I know the MA750 are built from stainless steel and...

Wav is uncompressed raw lossless, flac is compressed lossless, with no quality loss at all.

As for Sony's history in audio ; http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/CorporateInfo/History/sonyhistory.html BTW Sony jointly created the S/PDIF interface with Philips. I'm not a Sony fanboy or an Apple hater, Apple makes damn good software and phones but they're not to my taste. But saying that the...

Uh.......no offence but that whole post was complete utter rubbish. Every sentence. Audio quality will only be "as good as it gets" when we can no longer discern the difference between a digital reproduction and live performances, we are no where near that point. Apple has next to no history...

Well no. The Z3 can output hi res. Which is 24bit at 96khz. The iPhone 6 can't. Many people have compared and confirmed that the Z3 series is much superior. Sony has a history of high quality audio equipment and have applied it to their phones. The circuitry is fine, the OS is perfectly suited...

Well the Xperia Z3 Compact has the ability to output much higher quality audio than the iPhone 6. I think the problem is with my EX650 since the hissing is much worse when plugged into my laptop or my sisters Lumia 630. I think the Z3 Compact is just good enough to make the hissing barely...

Yes the hissing is due to current from the phone but because the impedance of the EX650 is so low that the current gets through. On other IEM'S this is not a problem cos the impedance is usually higher. My phone is the Xperia Z3 Compact which is marketed as a high res audio device (not...

I wish I had a bit more money then I would get the Sony XBA-A3.......

The build quality is very good, they feel strong. The casing is sturdy. The rubbery over ear guides seem to be quite strong and help tremendously with the fit. Some people have complained that the cable slot on the IEM'S (detachable cables) can become a bit loose however. I indeed do check them...

You really do have to listen to them first hand, the frequency response chart can only tell you so much. The bass is solid but by no means are these "bass heavy" the clarity is very much sharp and unadulterated by the lower register. The soundstage is very wide and spacious for an IEM. They're...
