Haha, so it was you. :)

I briefly listened to the u12t when went in to try the z1r and I wasn't really impressed, the highs were very quiet. Is that part of its signature? The mids and lower end sounded very good, but I' not sure it was better than my Andromeda S. But again, I listened to only half a song ad my main focus was the z1r.

Interesting because the Andro S had some of the nicest mids but the U12t's upper mids just seemed awfully hazy to me and the lower mids were oddly lean, whereas the Z1R's mids were presented further away but never "hazy" per se. U12t had better bass than the Andro S though, that's not hard to see.
The A12t must be pretty different to the U12t as I've heard that is the case from other people as well who go the A vs U. 64 Audio is a company oriented towards CIEMs after all so there's got to be some pluses to going custom with them.

None of you missed the point, I used to love the Andros, really, but when put side by side with the others things not seen before start to appear, that's one of the big problems of compare based on memory and audition experience on an store (noise, busy, disturbance). U12t/A12t can have some difference due to isolation and tips, we all discuss here how tips tune the sound of our IEMs, so CIEAM doesn't have this variant. I don't feel anything "out of place" with the A12T and the highs are really good, Z1r has impressive highs too.

Really Nice video, tried a few times with the M9 when I bought it and was a mess, so the Z1r I didn't even bother anymore. Never used the case that they comes with, got a Dignis IEM case that I use as my "everyday" case for the "current" IEM. those cases are awesome and fits every IEM.

+1 for the dignis case.

Looks easy enough. However, while the purpose of the gadget is to keep both IEMs separate, they seem to be clanging against each other quite a fair bit during the process ...
I was thinking the exact same thing.

Tried the comply foamies that are compatible with Sony in-ear and they do fit the nozzles of the IER-Z1R

Hello guys, I am very tempted to buy a new flagship iem. I own the Sony ZX300, what could be the best pairing between the Sony IER-Z1R and IER-M9?
Has the Sony ZX300 enough power for the aforementioned iem's wired with the balanced cable 4.4mm? Thanks!
