Dunu titan 3! Think of my grey/blue combo. Even for male/female. Add sweetness to the female upper harmonics. Strong and brighter texture and strong energy in the mids. Listening to live bands, the snares have a nice lively snap to them. Acoustic hand percussions are emphasized vs kick drums. Bass on titan 3 is a lot more linear, perhaps even as well. Though bass sits behind mids here, the subbass is nicely done even if subdued. Highs I felt could use more emphasis, and I hear more ambient echo (past 10kHz) versus lower treble. Stage isn't wide. The resolution is colder a bit but very very impressive even for the price. That. Is. All. Lol

Edit: timbre in the mids is really really good...too bad they could even destroy a lot, but got scared in not supporting the rest of the frequencies. This would be the end game if addressed properly in the future.

Funny, I was looking at the FLC 8s and the Titan 3&5s before I got my Pinnacle P1s.  Came back full circle.  Going to have to do some research.
 
This is the worst hobby, I swear.  Happy w/ what I have yet I still want more.  lol

There's some really good value stuff out there. I considered both titans before I read about the A4...just glad I pulled the trigger on the A4. I might just hold off and buy a Zen 2.0 and call it a day.

Hm. Then some peeps tell me to buy the campfred buds. Grr. Sigh.

Off the bat, the A4 is a seductive (and fun listen) compared to my fx750. Might take them out real quick and see how they fare.

I've read good things about the Zen 2.0.  I need to try the Monk+, still waiting for it to arrive.  I was curious about the CA Orions since they're supposed to be mid focused.  I have it narrowed down to MDR 7550, CA Orion and FLC 8s.  None of them will likely replace my A4 for daily driver use though.  
 
I let a co-worker test these A4.  I thought he'd hate them since he's a basshead but he actually thought red/black had sufficient impact without messing up the rest of the sound.  I showed him my EQ and amp settings and surprised both of us with it.  It's pretty amazing how hard you can drive these and how much you can pump the bass without distorting the sound.

Anyone tried black back filters with blue nozzle filters? I think they sound great with those.

Yess, this is my all time favourite combination out of 18,
Try this combo with front vent block mod and you will love the sound , , ,

I'll make you guys a good deal on a Zen 2.0 if you want. I bought a pair and love the sound, but I cannot get them to fit PM me if you want.

Also for you folks that like mids, check out the thread I started a while back about the Simgot EN700. For like $80 they were a great, mid-forward sound. Nice complement to the A4.

400/500.

TWIN

I was going to suggest the same. I think with foam tip you esp. want as wide inner diameter as possible to keep the spatial soundstage

I believe a wide bore is real nice with A4. You might to consider Spiral dots, they are well liked with the A4 as well.

Just note TwinACstacks is more knowledgeable than I. You can trust him 100%!!

I preferred black / black but the blue nozzle is great too. Red / blue is extremely fun.

Yeah I also tried full black setup and its wonderful. A little warmer isn't it?

Definitely a bit warmer and richer sound to my ears.
