From page 11 there's first impressions from several users.

 

[Lohb]

a worthy successor to A3, with more practical shape and color design. I had fun with the tour set.

 

[kiler]

Whats the sound like? 

 

[kimD]

Oops disappointed man, why they removed detachable cable connected

 

[ezekiel77]

Subbed.

 

[MuZo2]

So they have tuning at back like hippo VB?
At front seems like kz ed9?

 

[FUYU]

Should we just make the data and impressions from the tour-page public?

Honestly how many BAs & DD for A4?

 

[FUYU]

Because the cable is fantastic. The shape is not really suitable for connectors, anymore.

2BA + 1DD. The Balanced Armatures are custom-made though.

I thought they going improved that shells like TFZ Series 1 for more suitable and comfort fits, anyway it is the real image, I would acceptable for thier design like SW3.

That meant A4 is improved an over A3 mids and treble IMO

Hmm, well the A4 sounds quite a bit different from the A3/A2S:

- Treble is much less subdued
- With some filter combinations, the can sound V-Shaped (Blue/Gold; Blue/Red)
- Mids are slightly recessed compared to the A3.
- Bass impact is much bigger on the A4
- Seperation and "Blackness" is quite a bit improved
- Soundstage is not that big though, actually feels a bit lacking, especially in depth

The A4 is definitely a bit of a department from the ultra-smooth, downsloping signatures from previous iterations.
Also, after the Easy Earphones disaster, I'm not going to buy the DQSM or similar anytime soon. (Maybe the VT Audio 3+1, but that I will do that on Taobao, a CIEM for sub 250$!)
But after hearing some complains about sibilance, I can assure you that the A4 never, ever, sounded fatiguing or sibilant.

Seriously, you haven't even heard the DQSM right?


I believe the biggest disaster seem to be the another IEM....

If you're in this thread to come with those kind of comments I will not hesitate one second to use the report button.

This thread is for sharing impressions of the A4!
