I have the Shure 846. In all honesty the dorados 2020, for my taste, blow the shure away. The quality of the bass and the mids is just so different. It's so real. Although I have to say I never tried the shure with the black filters.

Problem is the pricing in my country
Dorado 2020 vs z1r only $400 different
Thus makes the z1r a “better”bargain for me
But I really concern about the fit and comfort
As i can try them out

I use Azla Sedna tips and they completely eliminated any fit issues with the Z1R for me. That said, as someone who owns and loves both Z1R and Dorado 2020, imho the Dorado is a better IEM for the specific type of music you mention, regardless of price differential. Z1R is an epic and grand sounding IEM but the Dorado FR works better with hip hop, R&B, pop etc...ymmv etc. etc. I hope you get to hear both.

Thanks a lot your review does really help me
By the wayvout of curiosity did you ever tried 64 nio ?
Have you heard any Planar IEMs? My IMR Semper uses one for mids and it sounds so sweet and natural to me. I wonder how Planars compare to Dynamic drivers in terms naturalness and timbre.
Is the Sure KSE 1500 a planar? I've had a brief demo of that but nothing substantial. You just put the Semper on my radar though thanks
. A natural timbre in the mids is one of my big fixations right now.I don't know about Shure but IMR has few Planar IEMs . Including 2 models being released soon, but they are all sold out now. Maybe one will show up if someone cancels or something. At home I only listen to Semper, it's that much more engaging to me than anything else. Including the Mest. If you can get a chance I think you should try one. There is EDP, RAH, EDP+ and Elysium ( these are yet to be released, that use Planars.
IMR has some really interesting stuff and a similar tuning/product mindset to Campfire.
I've only tried their R1 back in the day and enjoyed it.
Like Campfire, really glad to see how far Bob and the team have come since their early days.
I'd be interested in comparisons for the Semper vs the Dorado!
I haven't heard the earlier stuff , but nothing I've heard compare to the IMR sound like you said. They sound different and unique. I like to see some reviews and comparisons too.
No Dorado yet! Apparently DHL didn't work today (neither last Friday!).Is the Sure KSE 1500 a planar? I've had a brief demo of that but nothing substantial. You just put the Semper on my radar though thanks
One question about cables...no, it's not the blah, blah about how much better an expensive cable is (lol). I always go balanced with my iems. The original Dorado Cable it's not! So, I'm planning to buy a balanced one from them!
I saw that the one you use connected to Dorado's it's the Super Litz 4.4 and not the Litz 4.4. Since I think Dorado's must be small and light, how do you find the Super Litz weight and diameter? I mean, since they have the double of the wires of the regular Litz they must weight almost the double and must be way thicker!
Thx
It's all relative. The Super Litz is thicker than the Litz but both those cables are thinner than the stock cable for Elysium and both of them are positively thread-like next to a titan like the Leonidas II Octa. I have the Super Litz 4.4 from when I owned Solaris and I quite like it with the Dorado-- it sounds great and its low key simple aesthetic compliments Dorado nicely imho. They should have included the 3.5 Super Litz stock Imho
Great, thanks.
As someone who’s been on the fence about purchasing this IEM, I will be interested in hearing your feedback!Finally.
