haha i see, i thought is some modification to the eartips

It's kinder strange that I feel them very neutral. But many said the sound is warm. I guess the sound signature of LZ-A3 is highly depended on the source.

I listened to them for over 20 hours so far. The very balanced sound is very comfortable continuous listening.

with stock tips, out of almost everything I have, they sound anything but neutral to my ears. Like opposite of neutral. In fact I was quite disappointed on first listen

i use jvc tpis, they sound neutral to me

Along with first impressions, if anyone could offer quick comparisons to things like the tk12 and the dqsm it would be helpful. Thanks.

we must have pretty different definitions of neutral then

Just got them as well. They definitely have a slight bass tilt. But more in an organic smooth kinda way.
Call me impressed.

OOTB, the A3s are on the same tier SQ-wise. However the signature is more a downsloping frequency response. In comparision the DQSM is way brighter to the point where I couldn't stand them. The TK12 is not that far off the A3- It has a bit more authority in the bass and is a bit splashier, however not by much. Other than that, fairly similar.

I allso find the A3's tilted towards bass, though I don't agree with the "smooth/organic" sentiment I, unfortunately, find them a bit harsh from the upper mids and above. I like them, but I'm not overly impressed. I'm coming up on the 50h mark and will continue listening throughout easter. Happy listening!

What tips and source are you using?`I haven't tried anything other than the included foamies.

How is mee P1 compared to this?

 

[JacKallen]

I am seeing a lot of very different opinions on the signature on the A3. We saw the same for the A2, which some perceived as rather bass light and some as bass heavy. It turned out there were fabrication problems making the sound inconsistent from earphone to earphone, which probably was the reason why they discontinued the A2. 
I am wondering if there are some differences between the A3's as well...?

Yeah, it really comes down to source. I just had a proper listen to most of my benchmark tracks and I definitely have to retract my statement. It sounds a bit like my V-Shaped MusicMaker TK11, albeit more refined. I usually don't believe in burn-in, but this time I will make an exception.

I just looked through your review of the TK11, and I had the impression that the A3 was more mid-centered - warmer sounding, and less bass. Is the tuning really similar to TK11?

Yeah I do believe these are rather source dependent, straight out of lg g3 they imo sound terrible. Now I'm burning them in and listening though my desktop (a Theta dac and a cavalli Liquid Carbon). I'm using comply's which probably adds bass
