Sony's New 2014 flagship IEM - XBA Z5
Nov 12, 2015 at 2:57 PM Post #2,596 of 5,810
hey guys.. i am about to put up my PHA3 and Z7 for sale. Been with me for around 5 months and decided to just stick to IEM, more specifically CIEM. Gonna sell both at 900 USD including shipping internationally. If you like the sony signature, PHA3 is the best bet. Best sounding combo as far as portable goes. Might sell off my HD800 with the valhalla AMP. Finally found my end game. so PM if anyone is interested. Oh ya keeping my Z5 in case you are wondering. still love the fun sounding nature of the z5. very forgiving when especially if you are streaming your music. 


Good choice, the Z5 is superb. I use my A3's with my phone out and about and the Z5's and Z7's with better sources and it's hard to decide between the two everytime. Which Ciems have you reached sound nirvana with?

Great, I'm happy for you. There's a reason why HF has a classifieds section. Thanks for polluting this thread (in fairness, you're not the only one).


Kind of harsh maybe??

My z5 have been getting the most ear time because I normally liaten to it direct from my phones. But listening to it with a balance cable out of the pha 3 is something else. The only complain I have is that the z5 tends to have problems with mcmx connector. I have had my third rma and had to buy a second pair because it was out of commision for so long. The z7 with the balance cable from pha3 is probably my favourite portable headphone setup although I dont listen to it very often. As for my customs I went ahead and got a UE 18, Jh16 and the A10 from 1964. This will be paired with an Onkyo dp-x1 and my mobile phone vivo x5max. I might be selling off my zx2 but that depends on how good is the onkyo dpx1. I was told by someone that the onkyo is stupidly good but have not audition it myself.

Maybe. But kind of selfish and inconsiderate to the other users of this forum to hijack the thread to promote one's sale. And this was the second such incident on this thread in a couple of days.
 
Not my job to moderate this forum but at times I just can't take it anymore - not the nicest experience to get notifications for new posts only to realize that somebody is basically using you (and the rest).

I dont get what the issue is? It is after all related to the headphone at hand (the Z5/A3 at hand, not so much the Z7 I will admit)? Its not hijacking the thread if its one post. lol if you can't take it then by all means feel free to unsubscribe :)
 
No one is being used here. In fact I am happy that my Z5 is going to someone I know from this very thread, would rather work something out with a fellow sony fan. Take it or leave it, your whining is getting annoying.

Let's agree to disagree then. Not everybody likes being spammed, glad you enjoy it (you may want to publish somewhere your email address, I'm sure you'll get more of what you like).

Some people just enjoy finding something to get angry about. Remember anger and crying are the same emotion expressed in a different way.

so i bought this new ted allen cable for my shure 846 which is only copper so i can listen balanced to my shure 846 from my ak100ii
 
but i can use that same cable with my z5 with an adapter to listen in single mod do u think guys the cable from sony that costs over 100 usd is better than the ted allen cable for single ended

I do agree with the dude who said about the HF classifieds, those are for... put your sale in your signature that's it, there's a section in My Signature, to add different sruff Incl. CLASSIFIEDS

Not big deal but vent if it makes you feel good.
