The sound isn't that different and both sounded excellent. The practicalities of the Sony easily swung it for me. But if you are happy to consider a heavier chunkier device and like a warmer sound then see if you can listen to the Shanling.

I had both and kept the Sony. Smaller, lighter, nicer UI, different (not better or worse) sound signature. The Shanling is warmer, Sony a little more exciting.

"Normal" 306 user here. Still sounding great after the update.

I had the Miter case briefly and returned it as it didn't fit. It was *very* tight and the A306 stuck out by 2mm at the end. Your's does look like a better fit though! I can only guess that this is due to one of: 1. Miter tolerances not great (unlikely - their quality is high) 2. Miter changed...

Hey @RumbleWeed - Loving your posts but is your return key broken? A few carriage returns would really help readability ;)

Mine was uncapped

We have drifted into becoming a Sennheiser thread! @psikey - I have the IE300 and preferred it to the IE600 FWIW. The "proprietary" cable isn't really. It has slightly different MMCX connectors and so some other cables work, some don't. You can order bespoke cables with these connectors if you...
