  Is sound different from simple Lyra vs. Lyra6?
 
What can you tell me about the simple Lyra?

I haven't heard Lyra6 either but apparently bass has been enhanced a bit compard to Lyra:

"Looking at LYRA 6, I assume it shares a lot of similarities with its original LYRA predecessor, though I have been told that a filter and a driver tuning was changed (with slightly enhanced bass)."

My personal impression of Lyra is that it has got a warmer type of sound and is far from being sharp or sibilant. You can call the sound a bit "dark" compared to other top end earbuds, but I do not think that makes Lyra less capable. It has got great synergy with slightly sharper sounding sources. Bass is good on Lyra so I do not understand why they would enhance it on Lyra6...

So, after listening the TY HI-Z 32 some more, the initial impression of it sounding kinda wrong in the high frequency range (high hats for example) has gone. I had this impression compared to my desktop speakers, but now they sound alike in that regard, so it must be something changing in the sound and not me adjusting to it.
 
as for the sound overall, I really like it. it is thick enough, lush and not forced in any way :)

  Whats the word on FAAAEAL 64 ohm?
Click to expand...

 
Been very happy with mine - pleasant and entertaining. Got the Faaeal 64 ohm, TY Hi-Z 150 ohm and the SeaHf 3.0 400 ohm recently. To my untrained ears the Faaeal and the Hi-Z are fairly close, while the SeaHf has the recessed mids you pointed out in your review - prefer the first two. Running the SeaHf with donuts while the other two with full covers (green and grey covers with the Faaeal was a refreshing change from the usual red/blue/black : )

If any of you are wondering between Fareal 64ohm and 300ohm - just get the 64ohm as the 300ohm isn't exactly better.
 
Also, it should be Fareal, not Faaeal - the R and A font are slightly different on the earbuds.
