Hi guys,

As the title says is Z5 worth for that much money?

If I need to mention that, I want to get richer, full bodied, detailed, spacious and bassy sound but I don't know the answer..

Thanks all..

Precisely. 
 
I owned the A3 for a great while and upgraded to the Z5. I am not looking back.
 
I dare say that the Z5 paired balanced with the PHA-3 sounds better than any IEM I've heard (i.e. Noble 6, W50/60, JH16fp/13fp, IE800, and some other flagship TOTL IEMs. Although the Z5 has different sound profiles than some of the IEMs listed above, it is the king in detail, imaging, and BASS.
 
The Z5 MSRP is $400 more than the A3. I think even if the Z5 cost $800 more, I would still buy it. Not to say the A3 is a bad earphone (they are amazing as well). I would pay $500-600 for the A3 if that was their MSRP.
 
There is a CAVEAT. These IEMs are strictly for home use and very quiet environments. If you use them outside, the SQ is not very impressive.

As far as I understand Z5 is extremely successful iem , so I decided to try that later cause I bought A3 already and JVC FX1100 maybe..

BTW, A3 can bought for $280 and Z5 for $550, I'll do that..

Many thanks my friend..
