The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
Cool, I'll bookmark both E-earphone and Fujiya Avic to check out during the trip. Anime is mostly the song source this time around yeah. As much as it would be nice to get it during the trip, realistically I see that not happening. I only thought about it as a possibility since I read...- Zerketi

The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread
Hello, dropping in on this thread after hearing about FitEar from various friends. Skip to like the 3rd paragraph to get to the relevant FitEar question stuff. I have mostly been immersed in Chinese IEMs (Havi B3 Pro and LZ-A2) and headphones (ATH-MSR7, AKG Q701) lately, but I did own a CIEM...- Zerketi

LZ-A3 Impressions and Discussion Thread
One of the cables wasn't locking as tightly on the MMCX connector. It was still electrically connected, but it was much easier to pop out than the other side. Looking closely at it, it was excess rubber that was preventing it from solidly locking. I did trim it and locks much more similarly...- Zerketi

LZ-A3 Impressions and Discussion Thread
Thanks to RedJohn's review, now I want to try out a different cable for the LZ A3. My initial impressions out of the box basically lined up with RedJohn, not thinking it was worth for how much it cost. Right now though I am currently exchanging my pair since Teresa advised me to change out...- Zerketi

LZ-A3 Impressions and Discussion Thread
that's the only hole on the side of the LZ-A3. There is one right underneath the canal chamber if you take off the eartips on each LZ-A3 unit. In total there are 4 air holes, 2 per unit. One is on the side and one is underneath the canal- Zerketi

LZ-A3 Impressions and Discussion Thread
They are about 2mm from the bottom of the chamfered edge. They are also on the "bottom side" with the L, R, and Logo facing up right. The concave surface (curving inward) should be facing the bottom and that's where the holes are, the convex surface (curving outward) should be facing up towards...- Zerketi

LZ-A3 Impressions and Discussion Thread
I posted in the LZ-A2 thread, not knowing there's an LZ-A3 thread already haha. I got mine about 4 days ago, still doing burn in for the past few days. I went back to the earlier pages on the thread and noticed there was something about LZ issuing new cable replacements for the early batches...- Zerketi

New 3-way hybrid BA+DD IEM - LZ A2 (including DD A1)
While I was swapping out the default tips of the LZ-A3, I just realized how long the nozzle shaft was compared to the A2 and how much smaller. Below I am using the Spiral Dot JVC Medium Small eartips. LZ-A3 basically eats up the eartip while LZ-A2 gets eaten. The included wide-bore eartips are...- Zerketi

New 3-way hybrid BA+DD IEM - LZ A2 (including DD A1)
Heya all, the last time I posted here was I supposed to do a comparison between the two LZ-A2s I got since one sounded different than the other and looked a tad different in manufacturing. I ended up passing them to my friend his pair and never got around to do the test/photos of them since no...- Zerketi

New 3-way hybrid BA+DD IEM - LZ A2 (including DD A1)
I'll try to get pictures of the differences, but I want to get calipers to make sure I am not crazy about seeing a slight difference in height. I do know for sure the mesh is different, but it is a bit hard to get the photo "right" since it can only be seen at an angle. Hopefully I'll get...- Zerketi

New 3-way hybrid BA+DD IEM - LZ A2 (including DD A1)
After burning them in, I want to say the vocals toned down a tiny bit, but the lack of the "alive" feeling or bass quantity fun isn't there. I took a closer look at both of the IEMs and noticed a possible tiny difference in plastic shaft's height and angle. Also one of the mesh seems to be a bit...- Zerketi

New 3-way hybrid BA+DD IEM - LZ A2 (including DD A1)
Yes both are the mic version. Running the 2nd pair non stop since yesterday and will try them later today or tomorrow. Personally I was going to go pick with the non-mic version, but my friend convinced me anyway. The difference was like $1-2 more yeah. Not sure if introducing another wire...- Zerketi

New 3-way hybrid BA+DD IEM - LZ A2 (including DD A1)
While the Pistons 3 came out, I ended up stumbling on this thread by chance. After going through 5-7 pages, I decided to buy a pair and convinced another friend of mine to buy one as well. I have been using the Havi B3 Pro 1 since I stumbled on that thread last year and it was my main go-to...- Zerketi

Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (Headphones, IEMs, Amps, DACs)
Took a peek at Head-fi after staying away for a few years and saw this thread. Spent the past two weeks reading through it and I ended up throwing my wallet at a Havi B3 Pro v1 and Xiaomi Pistons (IF edition). Ordered the Havi off of Penon last week and just came in today. Really amazed by...- Zerketi

The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.
I got mine in a couple days ago. They are the real factory refurbs. I was worried they might be fake, but I saw the yellow Audio Technica refurb sticker on the shipping box. Kinda non related note, but my box wasn't in too good shape when I received it. Fortunately, the headphone has no damage...- Zerketi

Review: the Cyclone PR1 Pro - Another $50 bang/buck heavyweight
Guess what came in the mail today? First Impression - I took off the small tips that were already on, put on the bi-flange tips. I was underwhelmed for about 10 mins. The lack of bass and soundstage, although the vocals were forward. I decided to put on the medium clear tips. That gave me...- Zerketi

Headphone Sightings 2
Saw portapros and SRHxxx headphone at school. Portapros actually look decent in real life And one of my team mates in sports has a shure SE210. That was a surprise to me, other than him and I, everyone uses crappy iBuds. Gotta ask him some time if I could try it out- Zerketi
