Thanks!
Same difference if using TRRS on ZX2?
Yes, I was using both exclusively with TRRS on the 3.5 jacks.

Oh I am back to Direct Source on with the EX1000. The unbalanced output stage of my WM1A gets better and better the more hours you put into it, so the bass is much more to my liking after 30 hours of usage. Same goes fot the treble they softened just enough to my liking. Imagine, this will get better and better till I reach 200 hours of unbalanced playing time. The MDR-EX1000 are an epic kind of IEM, likely the best Sony could possibly make. It has two gripes for me though: It is sensitive to wind noise, probably a common problem outside the house in Holland where you live. And the seal is very important, no seal no bass, that's it. The brand new tips need a little help by ear wax to really seal but if the seal is there, that bass is a hell of a feature on the EX1000. You will see. I had the Sony XBA-H3 for some time and was happy to sell it off to a workmate, because it could not satify once you had the EX1000 around. If you receive the EX1000, let us start a new thread on it, it does not exsist so far and the EX1000 deserves it. Btw, for windy and even stormy days I have the Sennheiser IE800. Even though it has ports, it does not interact with wind at all.How is that experience going? I ordered the MDR-EX1000 from Japan earlier today and am very curious about them. I'd have no problems even getting rid of the Andromeda if they're good enough, but probably the sound and DDvsBA touch will be just too different to have either of those being enough.
Sadly Sony decided not to sell the Z5 in Europe at all. But I doubt it is better than the EX1000 after my experience with the XBA-H3I have the z5 and they sound spectacular, pretty neutral, yes, they do have some bass, however, the bass is controlled very well

But the EX1000 is a class of its own that nothing in the Sony lineup or any other brands ever touches it for its very special sound signature.
@nanaholic By any chance have you ever tried the Edition 8 with the wm1a balanced out? I always wanted to own an edition 8.
That's a lot to carry!!! Also guessing that while it's portable you are not using it outside given the open backed nature of the cans?One of the best, if not the best Portability ^_^ (high-end) yes! Very much so and (high-fidelity) absolutely so!
