The sound can be described as full without the loss of mid-range and Highs.  The ZO and the ER-4P are made for each other IMHO.   I have not come across a track so far where the sound distorts at the highest setting on the ZO. Overall, I am very happy with the set-up.   Hope this helps...

Honestly, I don't want to spend money on a new cable. The right angled one that I have are a little too long for this setup. So I ended up using the ones that came with the ZO.    Quote:  

I recently got the ER-4PT and it matches amazingly well with the ZO. It is a welcome change, as it shows the full dynamic range of the etys.    I use the ZO with Clip+ running Rockbox. Shure Olives works very well for me and the isolation is scary!         

hi

Try Shure olives although the fit is tight and requires careful insertion. The other option is Shure soft silicone (grey ones).

macfly, That issue has been resolved with the new amps. I bought mine back in March and it seems to work fine with AD797 ( it was supposedly giving a high pitched whine while raising the volume...). I am currently using AD8065AR . It seems to have the depth and width that I'm looking for...

just when I thought i was happy with minibox e+... justin has to lure me with this amp... . Look forward to the preorder....

I left the charger on the amp for a stretch of time ( over the past week). I have been running the amp non-stop. Last night I noticed that the charging light was flickering ( when it should have been fully charged and the charger light turned off). Wondering if the charging section of the amp is...

dfkt, Does your minibox run longer than the posted hours? I just got mine so I guess it should a few cycles for the Li-ion to work as it should.

It lasted 27 hours for stock opamp with bass on. This works well for me. I only hope the charging does not become an issue.

Quick update... 25 hours and still going strong.... using stock opamps bass on / ptos off volume is set at 2 plenty loud for Westone 3's

Ricey20, It is the quality not the quantity of enjoyment . 16 hours seems pretty reasonable. It will last a whole week for me. Family and work take most of the time for now. the amp has been running since 2.30 PM today. I'll let you know how long it lasts with the stock opamp.

EFN, The runtime is for 8610 isn't it? I own Govibe v3 that I use with 8066AR. The battery drain was significant with 8066 compared to 8620 on that amp. I got mine on wednesday, other than the fact that the lettering on the front face 'Pow' the w is missing already which was kind of...

EFN, Wondering where you got the AD8065 AR. Was it mounted on a browndog or did you have to solder it yourself? Quote: Originally Posted by EFN mrarroyo, since the AD797 didn't work out for my MiniBox-E+, I returned them and got myself a pair of AD8065 AR. * I think I may...

EFN, Nice review. Hope all is fine with you. Based on your review, I ordered the Minibox E+. I got an email later from head-direct that it would take two more weeks. Wish they had put a sold out sign on their site. (sigh!) These puppies are hard to find on the F/S forum. Unless, miguel...

prcustom, The overall spectrum is much cleaner with the W3's. It is not bass heavy but you can feel the presence.

It's a photoshop job guys... To the OP, I have both Westone 3 and Shure e530. I use it unamped from my Rockboxed Ipod 5.5 G. To my ears, the westones are certainly a step above the shures. Are you sure you get a good seal?

Got mine today. After a brief listen, it certainly is step(s) above from Shure SE530 and UM2. Look forward to more fun with the 3's.

I received my Xin supermini IV that I sent for upgrades in April 2007. Dr. Xin was very apologetic, after I sent a couple of reminders to him. I have posted the receipt of the amp in xin's forum as that is a similar thread there. I believe he is working hard to fulfill the backlog. Good...

I want the hd580

That would be real nice. I would like to take advantage of the optical out from my Iriver H 140.

Does the D2 have optical input? From the pictures I couldn't say...

Based on my experience with custom ER-4 molds it could be a hit or miss. I had spent around $400 trying to get the earmolds done right. Westone gave up and refused to make earmolds after 3 attempts. Even tried another company called microsonics. The mold was more like the UM56 (not the full...

I think you will be better off posing this question to Westone. There is a good chance that they will make an exception. If you think about it, you had an opportunity to send it back. It's not their fault that the phones were sitting in your desk all along. I sympathize with you. 26 bucks is...

I am still waiting for Xin to upgrade my supermini sent in April 07. Don't expect to receive it for a few more months. I am enjoying my pico for now
