Tzar 350 are cleaner and more analytical with little bass. It is good for classical and most rock.post #2178 of 23133/18/13 at 7:59am- wolfetan44

I think that the bass completes a piece be it classical, rock, jazz. The 350s were slightly sibilant and fatiguing with their more accentuated sound sig.
I listened to The Eagles, Cake, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, Fleetwood Mac.
As testing for more "legit" rock pieces. The 350s explored faults in the songs whilst the 4.ai gave the pleasant listenpost #2180 of 23133/18/13 at 8:14am- wolfetan44

I personally thought
350 were more active sounding.
90 and heir 3.ai were more laid back but i didnt really like them for rock.post #2182 of 23133/18/13 at 9:53am- wolfetan44

My reviews on the heir ai and tzar line includes comparisons to each and every heir to the other.
Its up to you to decide buddy
3ai is a good laid back iem. It was ok with rock but that is because i like a more active sound the 4ai had. I didnt like tzar 90. The sound didnt agree with me :/post #2184 of 23133/18/13 at 11:21am- wolfetan44

The initial parts are all the same so you can just move down. They all contain comparisons to each other.
post #2186 of 23133/18/13 at 6:27pmThe only gap between me and my 4.ai is " this very long week days " as I am getting my 4.ai this very Saturday.
Thanks, Wizard and Heir Audio for your prompt and responsive response.

BOUGHT THE 4.Ai+! YAY:D How long to ship with the $35 shipping option? I think it was called the "H.K. and Mainland Freight". Any ideas? I got the Buck Eye Burl. Yippie:D
(Starting this for fun) Cheers
post #2189 of 23133/18/13 at 8:49pmQuote:I believe that's for people living in mainland China or in Hong Kong. The $55 option is really your only option if you don't want to do "Collect".
