@UniqueMelody I assume the recessed 2 pin and more custom-like shape of the JP version was to accommodate for the tuning difference? I much prefer the design of the JP over the Int ver.

HBB is anything but dubious, and he never gave a blanket statement like that. Just out of everything he's heard, which is basically everything on his channel.

This hobby isn't purely objective. Ears aren't manufactured in a factory like your S9 is. Did you come here for affirmation that it would be as easy as looking at measurements to choose your preferred equipment?

I have to say that these have been on my mind since being announced. It's just that I've been using iems so much lately that my cans have been largely ignored. 90% of my interest in these now is due to their looks, which imo is the BEST of any headphone period. Nice to see the new yokes and...

Sorry, I should have expressed that my definition of a quality cable consists of only excelling at ergonomic and microphonic attributes. I don't subscribe to the idea of superior cable material, or any various other reptilian grease practices.

The LZ A4 were a disappointment. FLC8s got me interested in iems with mass tuning capabilities, so I thought of branching out. Every option on the A4 sounded similar; rolled highs, recessed mids and bass that doesn't hit as hard as the FLC8s. Ergos were a mess. Only redeeming quality was the...

Thanks, been out of the loop on head fi the past year. It may be too early to say, but at what level of bass is the 8d fixed at compared to the 8n (less, medium, most)? I run black, red, and green on the 8s.

Has Mr. Wei made any changes to the iem themselves over the years? Mine are still as great as the day I got them, minus some aesthetic imperfections. I'm kind of looking for an excuse to buy another pair if you get my drift . Also, is the most current version of the upgrade cable less springy...

Been away from head-fi and audio for a bit. Noticed a new module from Asius, the O1? Anyone have any experience with them they could share? If they keep or do away with the benefits of ADEL is what I'm mainly concerned with. Currently have the G1 in my U8. Also, the new site seems to have...

He's asking how pictures of the A30 compare to looking at it in person, not in comparison to ZX100.

Already sent back my pair, but the left driver had bass distortion when EQed in addition to being quieter than the right.

I've only ever run my SZ2k from an iFi iCan SE on high gain, so can't comment on lesser amps. Even with my amateurish way of EQing (turning the wheel on Poweramp), they absolutely rattle my head so hard I can't stand more than a minute of it at a time.

Ugh, they're forcing their bootleg imitation on past customers? Was this a deal between the two companies or is 64 Audio doing their own thing?

After about 2 hours use, the left earpiece of my Shozy Stardust have become quieter than the right. It sounds subdued and muted. How's Penon's return service like?
