Anyone else find the cable too long? And I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this but mine came with a velco strap. Did you guys leave it on cut it off?

I think he's touching on something.
I have had IEM's, specifically the delta vII, that bring a quick smile to my face and a quick Wow OOTB, but that has an energetic sparkle to it where the A4's are kind of on the opposite side of the spectrum IMO (but they can be energetic, but not to the degree the delta vII's are). The A4's are more balanced along all the frequencies and have a much smoother texture of detail that provides an ease to the listen that won't be as energetic (especially with the BLACKb/BLACKf), but if it had that energy that brought out the Wow that the Delta vII's did, I wouldn't be able to get that comfy ease, and I couldn't.
And that's what I appreciate about the A4. It's a more natural sound signature so you don't get the evocation that you do from more emphasized frequencies, but that's the trade off, and I think it's done very well by the A4. Nothing's flashy about the songs, but nothing's missing. I would even say it's a bit of a more mature sound signature, and I think this would benefit a lot from tube sound. I think any more natural sound signatures would benefit from tube sound to be honest, but to make my point, that ease that the A4 provides, which isn't from thinness or anything anemic, is something that I think would really be emphasized and highlighted.
Plus for me, it's really nice to have this detail, and natural sound signature that avoids brightness so well. I can't stand brightness.
As a lot of people have put it, I think it's a wonderful compliment to any IEM collection. I will want an IEM with more midbass or more sparkle, but when I go to those IEM's I lose the ease of emotion that the A4 has.

My impressions after some listening sessions trying no/back+blue,black/front, red/back+blue,black,green/front, black/back+blue,black,green/front so far.
black/back black/front is my favourate combi out of that. I like the (natural/relatively dark) voices color and the treble resolution with it most, but I get too much bass with it,
Any recommondations for a pairing where I can keep both - treble resolution and voices color - but reduce bass Fundament a bit?
Black/back + green/front came closer to what I am behind in bass amount but the mids emphasizes is too much for my taste. So back to black black.
Or the other way...Can anyone recommend a silicone tip type which reduces bass by keeping the other frequencies on level?
Thx
JVC Spiral Dots are highly recommended for that.
Finally received A4. Super smooth & detail high without any harsh. I have a problem with the cable. Any recomend replacement cable for a4 without memory wire?
I haven't seen any QC issues posted yet but unfortunately, my right earpiece came faulty. Not the drivers or connection but the thread of the front filter. I saw when I opened the box that one of the filters (blue) is not attached and was beside the earpiece. The other was fine.
Tried to screw it back but I couldn't. I thought the blue filter has some issues so I tried to put the red on - with luck. After a week I decided to try the green filters and then I realized the front thread on the earpiece is faulty and it can't receive any filter anymore.
In general, I find the thread on the filters and on the nozzles as well very short and doesn't feel like a secure connection. Since they're made of aluminum (soft material) I suspect they'll wear out very fast if frequently swapped - even switching tips could cause problems. So be careful.
For future models, it would be welcome to use at least longer (more stable) threads and/or steel material.
It's a pity to have this problem with by best sounding IEM and hope it's only an exception.
Penon is very helpful in solving this problem.
