True, but the graph doesn't look quite as nice as the SD9.
If you're willing to get on a chat with their rep, you can ask for them to send you graphs with actual value axis labels. If you do pull the trigger, don't forget that you can request alternate shell colors and faceplate designs, a metal nozzle instead of the resin one, and an mmcx connector over the 2-pin. It's a good idea to place the order with those requests in the "note to the seller" section and also let the rep pull up your order in chat to confirm that they understand your request.True, but the graph doesn't look quite as nice as the SD9.

The SD7 looks more intense in the high-mids / lower treble region. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a bit fatiguing.
Treble extension looks much better on the SD9.
These are only graphs... but they are all we have at the moment!
And yeah, maybe GD3A is worth try!
Alternative shell colors is something I wished more companies would offer. (gotta love fully transparent shell with multi BA iems.)
I really like their light gray fully transparent shells. Less likely to discolor over time compared to the standard clear and it gives it a bit more sophistication, in my opinion. Just personal preference, though. Fully clear also looks amazing and their darker translucent colors are also incredible. I just wouldn't go for solid on anything with more than three drivers because I feel that it would be a shame not to see and appreciate all the work they put into arranging and piping those drivers.
Exactly, being able to see into the internals is very pleasing to me.
The faceplate on those looks even better than in the pictures, which is a real feat.
yep! I can stare at those innards anytime.
That DD speed/tightness very much reminds me of a BA driver rather than DD, but with DD texture/air.
That description sounds like LCP diaphragm used for Aria / Variations
It looks to me like the SD11 has a fairly weird tuning as well, somewhat similar to the GD7B, but with a hint of pinna gain.

SD9 looks much nicer IMO (and is less expensive), IE, like a normal IEM with pinna gain. It has fairly flat bass though.
How do you like the tuning? Can you compare it to other IEMs?
I am considering reordering a GD3A somewhere in the future. I first need the dispute and refund for the lost one to be settled but with the extra cost i probably won’t change the appearance anymore.Rip, seems like they are charging 20 usd to change the shell/faceplate now.

Well, still a lot cheaper than Fearless and Thieaudio lol.
why is everyone dissing the looks on the GD3A?
