Yeah, if you like wind noise. It's nickname will probably be the whistler lol!Interesting shell design.

QK VK4 is garbage. Really, look elsewhere.So quick question qkvk4 vs cca csn in bass + soundstage which one would win ?
Major bass on the VK4 but only with a lot of tip-rollling. Haven't heard CSN.So quick question qkvk4 vs cca csn in bass + soundstage which one would win ?
VK4 are very tip-dependent. None of the ones that came with it were big enough for a seal. With some other silicones (large from KBear KS1) they're pretty good.QKZ VK4 is hyped for it "tonality" but it also famed for QC problem, unit variance, poor build quality, and the need of aftercare (tip rolling, cable replacement).
Unless you dare to buy like 3~5 unit and test each of one hoping you get the one with the right tonality, don't bother.
Get CCA CSN which have much better build and so far it seems people here like it.
Wise ideology mate, you know that steroids aren't permitted in fair competition, I feel sometimes the overuse of drivers' numbers is to compensate for a lack of tuning talent. Especially for KZ, TRN, CCA chifi companies. I do find BL03 very competent even if i rarely listen to them.Thank you. I do have the less can be more ideology while it comes to driver count. However, often I get pleasantly surprised by many driver counts also, like T800, VE 6X-C, EVE20, etc. So I think ultimately it boils down to the tuning capability. However, I still steer clear away from KZ, TRN, etc who just seem to never shy away from jamming a lot BA drivers. Also, I do not go sub-$50 as the SQ never satisfies me there. I bought a BL-03, sold it 5 days later, and I was done.
The bass driver of A3H+ is quite bold, mind you. It's got a voluminous bass, frontal and attacking, midbass has slightly more emphasis than subbass. But surprisingly, the stage is clean and airy despite that. That's what made me go WOW! It's my fun iem.
While I was using T800, I was using its stock tip, and Final Audio E-Type. I know wide bore tips like W01 or sednaearfit or new bee silicone might have attenuated the bass a bit, however, I never really felt the need to attenuate the bass, hence did not change into wide bore. The soundstage was open enough.
BTW, what is this nozzle-tube resonance? Never heard this. Can you elaborate a bit?
Even though A3H+ is an outstanding iem, over time I have found out that the price differences do hold true, and there truly is no giant killer. Polaris is almost 2.5 times the A3H+. I have not heard the Polaris, but I am almost sure that the details and separation will be slightly improved on Polaris. But yeah, tonality-wise A3H+ might be more pleasing, as even though the notes do have a hint of sharpness, but they are not for sure piercing.Wise ideology mate, you know that steroids aren't permitted in fair competition, I feel sometimes the overuse of drivers' numbers is to compensate for a lack of tuning talent.

Oh, ok, A3H+ is a fun IEM....wonder if its better than the overpriced Campfire Polaris which is a fun V shape signature with thunderous bass impact, nice for electronic, make you go wow....but sometime yuck too because of upper mids and treble being agressive and bit shouty.
lol, im french so sometimes I struggle to explain more intricate acoustic phenomenon, but you know DD and BA don't propagate sound waves the same way, DD acting more like human vocal cord while BA being more like bird syrinx I guess. So, BA bass and overall sound tend to open more with wide bore ear tips because the tips nozzle doesn't compress all these BA shooting sound at same time. Im not sure to understand fully why, but for multi-BA you will never add bass with big long ear tips like you can do for DD. About T800, another ''mod'' i really need to do is changing the Knowles damping filters...it cna be bought on ALI for very cheap. It can be usefull for those that find upper mids to fowards.
You need to try the TRN MT1
DO you know if their any A3H+ graph available anywhere? Or it seem their numerous version of this model, custom is PRO, older version is A3H...Even though A3H+ is an outstanding iem, over time I have found out that the price differences do hold true, and there truly is no giant killer.
