I got Brian from BTG Audio to mod my LZ-A2 to MMCX so I could use it balanced. Unfortunately, he managed to do it but he said it nearly drove him crazy
and took like 2 months, so he said he wouldn't do any more of them. Still I am happy with my balanced A2 which probably sound like some kind of A4.
It's amazing to see an electrical repair man take on the big boys and win with the A4 and Dipper, which are too expensive for poor old Skull man.
Old John, LZ Audio go back to $99 dollar iems that's where my money is. not at $799 thats a joke.

Just got the ADAX ht06. I must say WOW! There are really good for their price point. Can't wait for the e-mi ci880, tin audio t2, LKer i8, ch9T comparisons. I'm also tempted to try the BOSS HIFI B3 and URBANFUN HIFI....

Don't forget about the Bosshifi B3S, the successor to the B3.

Is it better than the original?

Don't know, as I don't have either.

I'm secretly hoping that someone who already has the B3 (such as Vidal or Loomis) will try the B3S to compare. Then I can pick up whichever one is better. Because there's no way to know which is better if member 1 gets B3 and member 2 gets B3S. You need both to directly compare.

In 'general' terms however, I would imagine the B3S is 'better', because it is a newer revision/replacement of the original B3. It doesn't always work out that way, but generally the later versions are improved over the original in some way.

The BossHiFi B3 is on my 11/11 list along many others (i'm pretty new around here), but i'm also curious about the B3S.
Honestly, i rather like the design of the old ones more. Cheers.

I do not for the life of me understand why people get bent out of shape at this.

Y'all do realize LZ still sells cheaper **** right? Like, there's still an A2 and an A3, the A4 likely will stick around.

I swear it's like people feel entitled to being able to afford higher models at the same price of the still available lower models.

Not sure what you're getting upset about.

I have the Z03A. I have the A2S - never liked it although the build and ergonomics are good. I also have the A4.....

i might take one for the team on b3s during 11.11, esp. since i foolishly traded my b3, which is still one of the best sub-50 players

Looks like the Auglamour RT-1 hit the main sellers on AliExpress today. Very tempting!

 

[HiFiChris]

The Auglamour is also available on Penon as far as I can see.

Still don't know whether I should be fascinated or turned off by the design since it reminds me of leprosy wounds.

Yey! Somehow, Penon has the best price. Probably means that it will drop in price elsewhere very quickly plus 11.11 and other sales, it will probably cost around 40$ very soon.
However, I am not as impressed with the design as before, it is just using a metal back plate as a decoration, main part of the body is still plastic. I doubt that they can pull it off, the connection where metal meets plastic already looks kinda wonky on those "reviews", perhaps it's just a demo unit...

 

[Vin$ent]

Looks pretty much like a 30$ iem with a fancy face plate.

Sweet! I bought mine on Taobao for RMB 265. Waiting for it to reach me. So excited!

Will let you know how it is when I receive them.

People complaining about the A5 price being higher than the A4. I've seen this same sentiment in other threads. Of course the A5 is more expensive, it's a higher model. Its existence doesn't erase the other models.

It seems to happen a lot. Everyone bitches at companies like Audeze and HiFiMan making $4k+ products despite the fact that their more affordable lines aren't going anywhere. The LZ A5 is going to cost more than the A4. That isn't a shame, it's not a bad thing, it's not something to complain about.
