The grill covering the nozzle came out accidentally on the left tip..but now the clarity is somewhat better and the treble harshness has gone away!! Im thinking of removing the other grill too now!!

Interesting ...are you able to put the grill cover back on ?

anyone in eu bought this from china did you pay customs? customs here would take 1 third the price so 45 euro to pay.

Best you stick to the Sony as you in love with it.

arijitroy02 I better be more careful as I keep doing tip changes. Surprised to see that you find it less harsh with grills off. I imagined the opposite as grills tend to tame the sound. I'm very prone to sharp highs and surprised that you find A73 harsh. Try other tips.

Thanks for your generosity. Tips arrived today but I have not tried them yet.

I do lot of tip changes and that's how it came off. I finally found the perfect tips and without the grill the sound is finally close to perfection.

Im intolerant to those harsh treble and I guess the tip plus removal of the grill helped!! Listening to songs now brings a smile to my face!!

This might sound bad, but I've found myself using my E80 with spiral tips more than my A73. Just a more transparent and detailed sound. BUT that's not to say I still don't reach for the A73, because when it's time to listen to pop, hip hop, or electronics, the A73 are my go to. Big bass. Big fun.

What tips are you using?

 

[shreyans]

  curious if anyone has a comparison with the RHA MA750(i)...looking to get my first hybrid IEM and the MA750 is my current go to from my collection.
 
searched and didn't find anything - thanks!
 

 
@dullknives Did you get the A73? I own the RHA MA750i as well and use the Fiio X5 II as my source. I am considering the A73. What is your opinion, is it worth the switch?

 

[shreyans]

  Going to go down to local store and figure things out there, since Jaben carries their own in house foams they should be able to find ones that fit. Will report back on the size since they do mention what the comply equivalent to their tips are. 
 
I've used the A73 for a couple of hours now. I can't handle the highs when I use them straight out of my phone. However, when I plugged them into my desktop dac/amp they were very enjoyable.
 
I hope to try them out with the X5ii, the PAW 5000 and maybe the Oppo HA-2 this weekend. They do seem quite sensitive so finding a prefect listening volume takes a bit of time, I find myself fiddling about with the volume buttons a lot!

@RambleOnRed How do the A73 sound with the X5ii?

i have them ordered and on the way.  i'll post up my thoughts against the MA750i once i've had some time with them.

Will wait for it then Would love to hear your impressions on how those two compare. Thanks mate!

What tips are you using?

I am using the Philips She3590 tips, they have thr wide bore. Also i use different sizes for each side since my left ear fits best with smaller tips.

Haven't had a chance to try the X5ii as yet. Tried it with the HA2 from Oppo and I still find the highs a bit harsh. Foam tips helped me get a better fit and the treble is manageable now.
I'm on the lookout for a warmer DAP and waiting for the Cayin N5 and hoping it retains the N6's signature.
