At first glance there may be some uncertainty. I believe there is some time to familiarize ones self to this headphone. Ba2 + dynamic driver, a hybrid combo that is gaining popularty amongst other offerings out there. My only other experience with LZ brand products would be LZ-a1, which is the predecessor of the new lz a02a and lz a03a which are animals in their own right. But that’s for another time. Purchased for HCK, thank you Theresa!
It’s somewhat hard to describe the LZ a3. It is what I would describe as potato shaped, and its really cool that they can be worn both other the ear and straight. That’s a big plus for me, being versatile will keep me coming back. That’s also why I keep IE8’s for so long.
Eartips may cause some headaches, its such a high unpredictability on which tips suit yourself best. At the moment, spin fit tips seem to be the best match. They compliment the very well due to their narrow bore, and the touch bass heavy LZ a3.
Getting to the stock cable, I’ve heard some mention they dislike the included one. You know what, I guess one’s own opinion, but I believe they are surprisingly good. Soft, supple, and longer than some others. They also seem durable and good for everyday use. In my optinion, I believe switching to other MMCX cables does affect sound every so slight. At stock the LZ a3 are a tad L shaped, so copper cable gives a bit more bass for you bassheads, and all silver cable will allow better treble. These are all subjective opinions, each individual will differ. For me, stock cable all day.
Now getting to the sound. I spent maybe close to a week on these puppies my conclusions are they really have nice forward neutral sound in the mids, a slight punchy bass, and not any sign screechyness on the highs. Nice vocals along with staging, very very good resolution. Been getting used to a flat EQ for week, and getting away with it on this set. The “nice-ness” of the bass allows to listen at the lower volume yet still getting that resolution in most modern music.
The price per headset piece really makes you think. If this headphone was from one of the namebrands, they could easily go for $200 to $300usd per or more. And the fact that one can switch cables and ear tips that can enhance the sound, makes them purchasing them an almost no brainer.
