LZ-A4 Impressions and Discussion Thread

I have been eyeing the A4s for some time, hoping to find a good deal on 11.11, does this problem affect function/sound?
Should I look elsewhere?

From what I read the A4s is a magnificent set of IEMs and I'm hoping that they will be a proper upgrade coming from the pair of RHA T20 I'm currently enjoying very much (if anyone have some experience with those and have the heart to share a quick comparison, I'd be grateful. For the record I mostly use them with the black filter since I feel that has the most natural mid-range).
You will be never wrong with A4 and as for loose connection it never effect on the sound and i don't that all batches have this issue my A4 is absolutely perfect with all my aftermarket cables ( only one cable has this issue so its mean the problem is in the cable not in the A4)

You cannot go wrong with it, I do not have issue also with aftermarket cheap balanced cable for my wm1a. In terms of sq, it is the top 1 of what I currently have. lz a4 > it03 > kz zs5 > kinera h3 and have xba-a3 coming and see if it tops the lz.

Hi Herrwallen, I want to make sure that no mistake or misunderstand is made here. There are potentially some issues with the cable itself, but only because of the way I wear them and only because of normal wear and tear. This IEM is by no means reflective of my recent troubles -- everything you read in this thread previous with reviews and comments are 100% true -- these LZ-A4 are fantastic. Bang for buck wise it is as good as it gets imo.

I came from the RHA MA750 and the difference was really substantial

Thank you for the mini-comparison, I think that it is pretty relevant even though it's not the exact model, the MA750 and the T20 seems to share genes/house-sound.
Initially I considered the MA750s but a friend recommended the extra cash for the T20s as they where similar but "better in every respect". I haven't been disappointed my T20s, very competent for the price but I'm starting to get the upgrade-itch :D

I do not have issue

The thing that got to me was that all of a sudden these "issues" popped up out of nowhere, just as I was starting to find something that really seemed like a excellent purchase.. Happy to hear that it only seems to be related to cables, those are easy to change.
Very grateful for you swift input here!

My understanding about the 750 and T20 sharing a house sound was exactly why I didn’t get the Ts when I decided to upgrade, as I wanted something different, even though I am a MASSIVE fan of RHA as a company, they do so much right in terms of build quality and customer service .

In that sense, the extra refinement I got from the LZ A4 was exactly what I’d hoped. I definitely don’t think you’ll be disappointed, and from everything I’ve read, they offer great value for money vis a vis the competition.

In terms of build quality I'd also add I’ve always found them really great. I reckon frequently changing iem cables is a sure way to wear components out, and it’s not something I’ve done, I bought one after-market cable and stuck with it. Fits great and the connections have always felt solid as a rock.

Mine have no issues yet, Daily drivers and couldn't be happier for the price. Amazing value I think.

I'm sure you'll love the A4. It's more v-shaped than 9tail but great detail, really immersive sound.

Thanks @crabdog! I'm really anxious to listen to them. In your opinion, are they a fairly big upgrade over the nine tail?
Yes, it's on another level. Can't wait to learn more about the A5 with its improved ergonomics.
