I’ve been using the E3000 for some years now, after trying most of the models this is by my favourite for pure music enjoyment and I will not change until there is a better driver with the same tuning, unlikely so I guess I’m stuck with them for a while longer still. The warm smooth sound is seductive whilst still being detailed and effortless stops them sounding muddy. They sound like a good coherent speaker which most iems do not, especially at this price!

I still pick this over the E5000 and A5000
I feel like the tuning is just spot on for my tastes.

E5000 is different to A5000
I will go to E5000 after a E3000
For the moment i use E500 (not E5000) and it’s very cool

Yes I know but I think the E3000 is superior, E5000 is too sub bass heavy and A5000 is too bright. I’ve owned all the models.

E4000 is actually an upgrade from E3000 but too large to sleep wearing.

Can anyone tell me how the A3000 and VR3000 differ? Are they the same iems with different cable or different iems with different performances? Thank you.

:) Hey Do you have the Final - A4000. . It's on discount for 100usd. Good quality bass on that, you reckon? (also read that it has got a lovely soundstage too)
My opinion is not necessarily popular, but i find A4000 the worst (or least good) of the A family. Look for my A5000 review around here for comparison notes etc.

I'm considering making the B3 my next purchase, partly to fill a gap in my collection, partly because I just love how they look. Like most people I have fairly eclectic taste in music but at the moment I'm listening to a lot of acoustic stuff for small ensembles or soloists, I'm a big fan of Sarah Davachi and Kali Malone, and some ambient electronic music of the droning variety, Stars of the Lid, Loscil, Alva Noto type stuff. If anyone has the B3 and could spare the time could you let me know if you think the B3 would be suitable and what type of music you enjoy with it.

Cheers.

I‘ve been using the B3 for about 4 years now. Sound aside, it is just beautiful and sturdy, I only changed the cable for 4.4mm termination. In terms of sound, it’s more of a generalist that plays well with all types of genres. Its tuning gears toward relaxing/balanced without any annoying peaks. I could listen to it for hours without any fatigue. I listen to mostly Jpop and Jrock, acoustics, orchestra and sometime folk or jazz. The downside would be not so resolving according to today's standard, however its tuning might play a part here
