I have the X3 paired to an E12, also the Magaosi K3 and Zs5.

The N40 is simply in a different league.

TWIN

That's great..
I am currently staying with Magaosi K3 Pro and pairing with Fiio X5ii.
Can you comment anything for next step upgrade.
AKG N40 or SWIII?

Is it easy to deal with them in English?

I'm not sure because I purchased mine at E-Earphone Akihabara, Tokyo and stumbled upon Dynamic Motion's e-store later to discover that they're selling it at a much lower price in South Korea.

Are the k3 pros the best ~$100 iem in your opinion?

I've been busy with work and life the past few months. What's the new hotness out now?

KZ ZS5 and LZ-A4 have been incredible daily drivers to the point I've been content with just them and my Monoprice M1060.

zs5 is not even in the same league mate

DM no longer exists. The company went bankrupt and was squired by Lefrig audio. They will be releasing more IEMs in the future but there are none available at present.

Would love to know how they differ?

Would love to know how they differ?

let start off with the bass. The bass extension of H3 dug deeper and each bass note hits with more authority than the ZS5. This is a must especially since H3 is more expensive than the ZS5. To sum it up, H3's bass is cleaner and extended deeper. Next, we have the mids section, ZS5 mids is not as clear as the H3. The H3 presents the midrange in a transparent manner for vocals to shine. The micro details on the H3 is far more superior to the ZS5. In my review, I compared the H3 with more expensive iems and you can see H3 can compete with them but definitely not on all fronts. Moving up to the highs, H3 treble is not grainy at all while on the ZS5, I feel the grain and there is not much of a clean bite. The extension of H3 is better with more air too. Soundstage wise, in terms of width or depth, H3 has the upper hand. Cheers.

Thanks for the details in the comparison, how would the H3 compare with the Pinnacle P1/X since they're both on Massdrop atm at very similar prices.

The Dynamic Motion DM200H cost about $344 at Amazon but if you order it from South Korea it's about $180. It's a true bargain for the sound quality it delivers.

DM200H or AZLA ?

lows: The H3 bass is more energetic than the P1. The P1 has a cleaner bass. The extension on both are very similar.
mids: Both operates on being transparent. P1 takes on an analytical approach while H3 on a lively approach. Similar micro details with P1 slightly better. Lower mids on H3 is more full than P1. Upper mids on H3 is more forward and contribute to its overall lively signature while P1 is cold.
highs: They have similar amount of air but H3 has slightly more. H3 has a more crisp treble. Details on both are around the same.
soundstage: Width=P1 has the slight edge. Depth=H3.

Cheers - I'm trying to decide which +$100 IEM to take a punt on.

Well that explains it. Thanks @crabdog

DM200H or AZLA ?

I have no idea because I've never tried the AZLA before.
