Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

The blessing and the curse..
 
Non- addicts of audio impulse buying who live or come here realize a lot of what's on here is hype. I live in Japan. I hear all this stuff. Why am I not buying it?
 
Cuz with a close listen with a track you know well it's easy to see the long winded reviews and boasts are nothing more than catnip for the gotta have a new toy click
 
That's all fine and stuff but I am a music lover not a gear jockey. NOBLE..

did you listen to those? Did you see the reviews on here? That's #1 with a perfect 100% ranking?
 
C'mon son.....that's too obvious and not opinion. My EX IEM will play minutia details better than they or the JH will.
 
Living in Japan has actually saved me a ton of cash. I can hear things for myself.

 

 
 
Being able to try so much gear all at once really opened my eyes.  Like you said, it was a bitter sweet.  Amazing to be able to try all the high end ****, but come to realization it IS all hype after listening to them
 
Noble was the first ones i picked up......

 
 
 

wawaweewa I like, in Ireland even in hifi stores there is no iem demos

 
 
Only in Japan... 

   I got to say its one of the best place to try before you buy.  Not just in audio gear, but in a lot of things.  I was in what would be their liquor and wine store getting drunk before I even bought anything because they wanted me to try before I buy 

  ******* AWESOME!!!!!

alright I'm giving away my flare iem being custom built I realise no one will buy it, it is excellent thought. tired of flat response may be just needs a proper dac amp duno, it's free so nice present if someone needs

They should push air. If they go for 5-700 I will buy a set. If they are priced like ear art then I won't

$399 for the 10, but I can think of one retailer that sells their stuff 'tested/ex-demo' in USA....so less than that 'Minimum Retail Selling Price' again.

Hey @chillaxing bt range in reality is pretty good, can get about 6 or 7ish metres maintaining line of site which i find v impressive for the price. If yiu are exercising, the control is on the right and can pull that way or bounce annoyingly. only other thing i find is that if i lift something that squeezes the control against my neck or head then they can drop out.
Overall i can live with those couple of things given the price they are bt they do give awesome sub bass they do have phone controls which work well too
Let me know if you pull the trigger, very interested in a different opinion

There are two stores in NSW you can visit.
 

1. Minidisc in Chatswood
2. Addicted to Audio in Newtown

 
I live very close to Minidisc but Pizza Hut is much closer and wins every time.

Do you have a favorite? The ex800st are still my favorite of those by far. Z5 would be second, but I've yet to do a head to head.

I'm working on getting EE Savage 9. I will keep you guys posted. I hear great things, hopefully I will hear great things.

I would put the z5 first.

what kind of amplifier you want to buy?

 

[Hawaiibadboy]

I would not put it in 1st 2nd or 3rd.
 
Z5 over the ex800?
 
 

 
That's my old Z5's. It's gone now....I still got the cable

 

[fenakit]

Hi, I think that I wrote you good PM, so in case that you didn't saw it, I am writing here that you have one like that

It's sincere message, and I don't want to write about all on public so that's why it's PM.
 
Thanks.

No, not yet. I still have to re hear my ex800st. But I seriously doubt Z5 will be my favorite Sony.

Your Z5 lives on brother!!! It has definitely grown on me, a couple of upgraded cables afterwards. I really didn't like it when I first listened, almost put it up for sale.

 It has a very 3D immersive depth to it <<<<<forgive the stupid lingo..you know what I mean. And the super tweeter is sparkly.  I just preferred the other Sony.
My amp/dac and 1st and 2nd option IEM are Sony.
 
I hated the company because of the rootkit stuff and the proprietary files and cables and on and on and on. And they still got my cash.
