X2 on a non-mic version
If I had the choice of buying the A73 or A83 for around the same price which should I get? I listen to pretty much the Top 50 chart on Spotify. I already bought the A73 but I can return it.
I'm intrigued because of their FS triple hybrids A83 sound (from reviews) and thought of giving it a shot before my FLC8, but the lack of assortment of eartips & a non-detachable cable version in this price range,and finally no standard cable choice but an "ONLY MIC" version is making me to wait for now......
As far as upper mids and treble is concerned, the A73 is extended and crisp but not as bright as the Titan.
I notice it especially with things like cymbal crashes, as they are pretty mellow yet still resolving with the A73 and more forward and borderline harsh with the Titan. I also notice it with the pronunciation of the letter s. It's just a touch more refined.
Don't take just my word for it though. Let @DJScope A-B them and chime in.
@DJScope I just noticed your signature link to Resident Trance Thread
Am I correct to assume you find the A73 to excell with this genre ?
What is your opinion on the separation quality of a73 and how well does it lend to Trance genre ?
I'm hoping for good side to side stereo movement that I experience with eph100.
So, the guy that came over last night is a sound technician and a Hifimediy fan boy. ....
..Since we were on the subject of A73 vs Titan on many threads here, I had him A-B them and he agreed that the A73 was the better sounding IEM. His reasons were similar to mine, bigger soundstage, more extension in bass, less fatiguing treble, better separation, and just as much if not more detail. That was all his thoughts not mine.
More useful impressions by independent listener - owner of neither:

Yeah I would be nice to have a version with no mic.
