What about fit? I am concerned that the lz a6 doesn’t fit that well nor does it isolate well. I fear it could be very a great sounding IEM but require too many sacrifices to wear for the long term.

Do you guys like the BA5 more than the spring 1? I know there is a price differential

Can the BQEYZ Spring 1 compete with the A6? What about the A6 mini? I've seen quite favorable reviews of the Spring 1.

Guys with the 9038s on iOS, do you sometimes get max volume blasts while using it? This would be unacceptable to me. Is this a firmware issue that could be fixed?

Hi, What are the recommended eartips for the best fit and isolation since these are reportedly an issue for those with smallish ears.

Hi guys, I searched this thread for dragonfly comparisons. Can anyone confirm that the E1DA outperforms the dragonfly series?

Peter, what % of the overall A6 sound quality would you say the A6 mini is able to achieve? Any meaningful differences in isolation fit or comfort or build quality?

Hi Bui, thanks for your comparisons of all the IEMs. I am totally fine with chasing an endgame for 2019, knowing that yes in a year the hunt begins again. I noticed you said earlier that the LZ A6 compares to the andromeda which I might say is endgame for lots of people who aren’t in the know...

Thanks a lot! I will investigate the E1DA. Seems to be the chosen one at this time.

Could you talk about the soundstage imaging and separation vs the Flc8s/n? All much better? Does the A6 give you the out of your head feeling when listening?

Hi, this is just another way of asking, what is the short list of alternatives to the dragonfly red in terms of sound quality (can’t be more expensive than the red). I have heard the red and it’s good enough for me but I want to make sure there isn’t something else that is considerably better...

How does the sound quality compare to a dragonfly red. I found that the black was more or less a wash over an iPhone but the red, that was a big step up.

Hi, are the lz a6 considered endgame IEMs / tier 1 or is it more of a value for the money type of IEM.

What level sound quality does the AirPods pro achieve in terms of a wired IEM, both past or present? Like is it as good as a 1 more triple driver, an entry leve shure?

When did the lz a6 and a6 mini come out? I thought they were a bit older. Or did I finally catch the wave earlier this time?

I am concerned about the isolation and the fit. I have heard they are below average in both regards. Can anything be done regarding the isolation? I don’t need etymotic levels but I want at least average levels. As for the current price to performance ratio wouldn’t the audiosense t800 be...

Thanks, had a thought about the LZ A6. Is that andromeda like as well?

thanks, well I think for me what really drew me was the out of this world soundstage and imaging. How does the t800 compare in this regard?

Is it even possible to want something else after hearing the andromeda? Do people ever sidegrade from the andromeda, and if so which IEM?

Hi there, Looking for an IEM today: I am a sucker for light, airy, with a huge soundstage in all directions, I also love sparkle on the top end. Bass just needs to be super tight which is enough for me. Doesn’t have to be overwhelming. So long as vocals are not veiled I am ok. I really just...

Ok so would I be correct in assuming there is nothing else on the chifi market that sounds like the andromeda but the andromeda because of its fundamental design. Closest being the audiosense t800? The reason I asked the question is because the andromeda is the best I have ever heard, like ever...

Hi guys, never quite sure how to approach a massive thread like this. I know the answer is in here somewhere, but after 1386 pages, I am hoping to know what the community consensus say top 5 chifi IEMs under $100 are as of November 2019. That seems manageable to me to choose. Thanks!

I would like as close to the andromeda sound signature as possible for the least price (like basically everyone). I assume that chifi is the way to go here, with someone figuring out which company uses the same drivers, etc.

Hi, just hoping to know what the community has settled on as the best chifi IEM like the andromeda when you don’t have $1000 to spend.

Got the Tenores.   I am flabbergasted.  Amazing. These are $300 IEMs to me.  They meet or exceed all of the IEMs that I have heard, up to the $300 range.  These are much better than the 1more triple to me.   If you had told me that the Tenore only had one 1 driver in it, I would say you are...
