But that said, the fitment of the A73 thrashes and trashes my H3, which is the same shape and size of the Z series Sony hybrids, and that alone makes it better IMHO. I can actually wear these to bed and around town without looking like some freak with a science experiment in my ear

I agree, the ear hanger design of the sony iems are rather unique and can garner the odd stare or two when outside and its not easy to wear to bed :p
 
Price of admission (in terms of discomfort) if you wanna enjoy the sony iems unfortunately :p
 
To be fair, I had the H3 for a few days before I returned it and opted for the Z5 as I found the H3 to be underwhelming and not worth keeping in my collection. I can't wait to be able compare it against the Z5. It is entirely possible for it to be better than the Z5 so I wouldn't count that out either :wink:  I always try to keep an open mind in that regard

It's better than my H3 from a figment standpoint and from the treble being better extended and presented, and for the midrange. The A73 midrange is clearer than the H3, and more lush instead of thick. Bass is more mid bass punchy on the A73 instead of sub bass full and extended as the H3. I prefer the A73. As for better than the Z5? That will be for you to tell us? :)

Can someone comment on using the E80 without an amp? I think that's the model with the characteristics but I am concerned that something else might be better suited to be used with a phone or laptop, same issue as the Havi B3

FWIW I sometimes run the B3 Pro 1 out of my macbook as it has a really good amp and dac inbuilt. The amp improves the sound, but it will things like soundstage and dynamics and tighter punchier bass. Might not be apparent at first and its not really night and day. I can say from my own experience havi sounds great out of my laptop.
 
Based on the E80 review, it seems to scale with an amp as well. I plan to get a pair myself, will post updated impressions when I get mine :)
