Honeymoon period has passed already, genuinely enjoying them now  Makes me excited to see what else MusicMaker can put out that can top this!

 
Could you put up a short impression regarding: LZ A2 vs. Shockwave III ?
Thanks,

Me too Tamal. So I'm assuming a Shockwave purchase is on your radar? If you do contact Easy throuh his store first. Shockwaves are $249 USD through his store for Head- fiers.

I arranged it with him. Maybe you can do even better directly contacting him.

A little groveling never hurts.

Hmm, I am still thinking about it and Canadian dollar still hasn't picked up. I will wait to see the A3 sounds before I decide  But anything is possible, not ruling anything out.

Sure thing  For more detailed impressions  I will compare them both out of my X7 to make it more even and fair, once I am back home later today.
 
But for now:
I know that in the past that I have said something to the effect of the Shockwave SIII being several level above the A2, but I have to say that the A2 puts up a better fight than I initially gave it credit for.
 
The Shockwave III has a lighter and airier presentation, with a more diffuse and larger soundstage vs the A2 which has a warmer sound signature + harder hitting bass with more mid bass and a more intimate soundstage.
 
I actually think they complement each other rather than one leapfrogging the other.  I can definitely see some people preferring the A2 over the SIII if that is the sound signature they prefer. As well, it took me a bit of tip rolling to find the most optimal eartips that make the SIII sound its best. I found that the SIII needs a good amp/dac to shine versus the A2 which sounds pretty good out of anything, including a toaster lmao.

I have a pair of the LZA3 coming if they ever get here. I will let you know impressions right away.

I finally caved in and ordered them! 

My wallet is crying but it'll be worth it...anyway, now I should stop buying new audio equipment for a good while (as long as I can resist lol)
Easy has been a very nice person and has given me a discount 

 
All I have to do now is wait, and wait, and wait...

Nice, looking forward to the comparisons! I wont have the SIII on hand when my A3 unfortunately. That is if I don't cave in before then
 
Also, do you find the SIII still sounds superb at lower volumes?  The shockwave III doesn't sound half bad at low volumes

I would like an IEM as asg 2.5 with the price of the SIII.

If you need more Bass than what the SWIII has on hand then you simply need to go to a BHA meeting.

I'm sure. The SW III has the deepest Sub bass I've ever heard in an IEM. But it really Isn't a Basshead type phone. It only has Bass when the Music has it in it. If you want that, save some $$$ and get it's little brother the TK12. That'll fix your Bass right up. Lots of Bass All the Time. It's MASSIVE.

These or the A3 may end up being purchased with tax return money. Decisions, decisions.
