Could you compare the Duozas and Ostrys with these video?  i am waiting for the Duozas and Titans,  your review has me a bit nervous after spending money on the Duozas.
 
 
Pianos, drums, bass, Sax, Pianos, guitars, percusions.    Starts a bit slow.
 
 
 


Will do in 2-3 hours, I am in the University library now and only have the KC06A and the EPH100 with me. I still do not dare to wear the Duoza outside of my apartment

Did I mention that the Duoza are huge? Not huge, but huuuuuge. Comfort is great though, but it will stick out of your head and is making me looking like an idiot since I have a small head lool

Comply TX200's cleaned the bass up significantly plus, really extended and smoothed out the treble.

I was never a fan of foam tips as it always muffled the sound for me. Treble is also already quite smooth I think.

 
One word, well actually two words

  that video is so grand on my titan1 :scream:

 
Man,  i love that band.. they are genius,  they can play whatever they want and its  epic.
Since i have my Ostrys, its like redescovering a new band.
 
Not only great musicians, but the sound engineers are stellar.

I edited a little bit at the end to summarize their characteristics, and no, as my ratings are displaying, I equally like the EPH100 and KC06A, with the Duoza falling slightly behind them. But each of them have strengths and weaknesses, that is why I put a ranking on each category and depending on how much you weight these factors you might prefer one or another.

One day I want strong bass and 3d sound-stage: EPH100
or another day I prefer an clear, upfront sound: KC06A
Sometimes I want to listen to something big, bassy and airy sounding: Duoza


Great comparison! What tips were you using with the duoza's? I ask because I don't notice any bass bloat while using the spiral dot tips.

Oh, and since you like the kc06a's so much, I think you'd dig the titan1's quite a bit :)

Thanks wayne! I am using Sidy tips, I can't imagine better fitting tips for them tbh, but maybe the Spiral dot tips are going beyond my imagination ;D
 
I notice the bloat mainly on the subbass. Midbass is fine.
 
I think I will skip on the titans, I am very content with my 3 main phones at the moment, thank you for the suggestion =))

@encoreAC They are kind of a "mini" XBA-H series

Sooo... everything sounds smoother and warmer on the Duoza, the Ostry KC06A have more clarity/tranparency and a deeper punch on the drums. I feel I have to turn the volume much louder on the Duoza to match the clarity on the KC06A. I think that's because the KC06A have a much more pronounced treble. 
 
Trumpets and Sax sound thicker/more lush on the Duoza, while the KC06A sounds more crisp/ have more energy in the upper-mid/treble. 
Sound-stage is as described in my earlier post, Duoza more distant and restrained, while the KC06A is a upfront/ in your face type of phone. But both is suitable for this song I feel like.
 
Honestly it sounds great on both.I need to turn the volume pretty loud on the Duoza though in order for it to match the KC06A in enjoyment level.

I think that the spiral dots tame the bass better than other tips (even though both may fit well).
 
I'm not even sure what subbass bloat is lol. I will have to listen more closely for that.
 
As far as skipping the Titan1's go, just stay away from the Titan1 thread and you might be okay!
