Great review @Leonarfd, consider adding the 25ohm impedance adapter by VE, it will deepen the bass and slightly tone down the treble, giving it a bigger soundstage. I was quite shocked when I found out about this.

Absolutely agree, SM Gold is also very easy to drive, using a dongle setup is enough to bring it's performance out. IMO it's a brighter version of the Asura 3.0FE, the vocal is very very sweet :beyersmile:

Zen SU owner here, you will appreciate the Zen SU more after plugging it into a powerful desktop amplifier. The soundstage is just insane 🤯

I have tried the full foam and I don't like it. It muffles the sound a bit but the bass hits harder. However I very much agree on the downside of donut foams that you stated here, but I am willing to sacrifice it for better sound :sweat_smile:

Herro there :joy: Surprised to found so many APWS owner here :joy:

Sun Copper owner here, I recommend trying the Hiegi Donut Foam, it improves the bass and subbass while maintaining the clarity.
