The I3 is something i have been interested in, but it seems that the size is too big for me unfortunately.

Isnt the Titan 6 a V-shaped sounding iem?

The best comparison to the warm sound I want is the blon 03, just want tighter bass....

There's no contradiction between warm and V-shaped in my experience. That being said I'd describe the Titan 6 more L-shaped than V as the treble is quite polite. They do also have one of the absolute best midrange performance and natural sound I've ever come across. You're comment about the BL-03 makes me even more certain that the I3 would be the best choice for you though. You don't have to push the housing in your ear :wink: No, seriously, I've got small ears and narrow ear canals and the I3 still fits me very well and are extremely comfortable to wear.

Here's a thought and they apparently come with awesome tips for that price:grin:

Unrelated to the quote but anyway...

You're going to love me for this Tim. Today I've been comparing the Titan 6 to the Rockets and the midrange quality is extremely similar on the two with the Titans having a slightly more lifted upper treble and a hell of a lot more bass impact :wink:

Can you take some pictures on the tri I3 and the lz a6 side by side?

Uh not what you were looking for eh:rolling_eyes: Sorry, don't have my 6 yet and the I3 is not on my want list however just looking at these two the 6 looks to be larger where it meats the inside of ones ear after tip is inserted, for sure less taper:thinking:

Oh Crap you said LZ A6! However I still stand by the taper comment on the I3 having way more taper than either the Titan 6 or A6!!!

Here you go, the size is very similar but the I3 are more ergonomically correct with their more rounded design (at least for my ears):

Feels like it's too risky for me to get the I3 unfortunately.

Urbanfun iss014 is the best candidate right now.

No problem, I understand you.

I'd be really surprised if a $59 offering is the best sounding sub &$200 offering available with that signature given the current competition in the $99-199 bracket. However if the alternatives doesn't fit you I'd guess it's natural to find the best possible compromise between sound and comfort.

I have both the I3 and urbanfun isso14. They are both excellent. The isso14 has deeper bass, and the I3 is a bit better in technicalities and layering, but the isso14 is possibly now modified from the version I have due to the terrible mmcx connectors on the original sets (the TRI I3 has only mediocre mmcx connectors).

They both have the speaker like presentation that I've only found in these two pairs sub $300.... I'd second the assessment of the fit of the I3. They stick out of your ear so as not to rest on your ear itself, I doubt most will have fit issues even given how big they are due to the design of the nozzle.

The isso14 I have is my pick over any pair I own other than the I3 that's <$300.... It's a true diamond in the rough. That being said, I just got my kbear diamonds, so I'll have to see what I think of those.... Though it'll be hard to take the IMR Rahs out of my ears....

What, I'm shocked :wink:

Well you snuffed me on those A6 Mini's too but I like them, not more than my trusty A4's but LZ knows what he is doing:beerchug:

Hello, any info about the Shozy form 1.4? I have the blon 03 and I am enjoy listen with them but I want something with more quality.
I am tempted to pull the trigger and splash 150$ on Drop for the Shozy 1.4. but, I am afraid that I could spent much less and get a better sound from other IEM.

I saw the review from BGGAR. But I want some other opinion.

a bit better in technicalities

Please tell me exactly what this means. I keep seeing this word "technicalities ". being used more and more. How do I know if everyone is referring to the same thing? I have seen people say that a certain iem has better technicalities but is less enjoyable than another iem. So, why should I care about these mysterious technicalities?
