Consider the LZ A7.

I see you have the FiiO FH3, they should have similar comfort to the FH5 that I'm thinking about. How do you compare the comfort of A7 against the FiiO?

Both the A7 and FH3 are comfortable, and neither are too big, so they really shouldn’t be a problem for most people.

They are the two most comfortable and well isolating IEMs I have tried thus far.

What about the low end on the mt100? Bass, sub bass?

Yes, sub-bass is excellent, broad, and textured. And, though the bass is excellent and extended, bass heads might want more if they're looking for a V-shape signature, since these are overall more balanced. I, for one, will never depart from these. They come with an excellent cable and fall in my top 5 best IEM's to own.

Does anyone have first hand experience with the Mt300? I'm pretty tempted at the current pricing.....

 

[TheVortex]

i got mine last year on sale at $105 (and $97 after coupons).. but i don't know if it's going to come down to that price again.

the MT300 on the other hand, seems to take a deep dive in price to around $60-70.

I got the MT300 for £50 which I am very happy with but what is the MT100 actually like in the sound signature, fitment, tips and the cable. Great price btw.

@TheVortex Have you had a chance to listen to the MT300 yet?

Only very briefly to see that they worked. I am working one thing at a time but I will try them later on today. They use MMCX and have a screw connector which I have never seen before and I guess it's useful to stop the cable rotating on the connector which I have experienced before. They don't seem hard to power and looks amazing value for £50 but I don't think they were worth £100 or so before the sales.

the MT100 for me is the most- true to neutral IEM that i have ever heard. fitment is great for me, because of the vented body, it doesn't have any vacuum feeling when using it. i rarely use the stock tips on any of my IEMs, and same goes to the MT100, so i can't comment on the stock tips. i use Final E tips on mine. cable is also great.

if there's a weakness to it, it's the noise isolation. it leaks a but of sound because of the vents.

but because i use it almost exclusively at home, it's never a concern for me

Thanks! I'm looking forward to your comments on their general performance/signature.

Can get them on Penon Audio right now for $279, does anyone have a coupon code I could add to that?

Drop has them for a dollar more as well

Plus Drop will throw in really long wait times too! For free!

They got the Tea for $250 right now though, that's not a bad deal.

Yep, that’s how I purchased the Tea, but one has to be careful, b/c a lot of times it doesn’t make sense. That being said, if not for the 11/11 and BF/CM sales, $280 for the LZ A7 is a significant discount.

Agreed it's hit or miss in terms of pricing. On the other hand, for US residents Drop uses FedEx which I've found to be by far the most reliable. Drop support has also been pretty good for QC issues on the units I've bought from them, much easier than dealing with AE.
