Mine shipped on Monday and by Wednesday morning they arrived in London. I have many iems Blon 03, Fiio fh7, Campfire Polaris, Dunu dk 2001, Urbanfun, Ikko oh1 and 10, I basso it01s, Shuoer Tape plus many more I have to say from early impressions they sound amazing. For the music I listen to it has perfect timbre. Which is very important to me. The detail and stage is well above average. The bass is perfect and the highs are nice and airy. I have the mystique which look great. Kinda wish I had the clockwork. But sound is the most important thing. The fit is fine. My spinfits are too big for a relatively small nozzle. I'm going to burn them in for a while to loosen up the driver. First impressions. I'm very impressed

And what tips are you using then?

I definitely concur! I have been using them with Sedna Earfits, and they attach to the nozzle really well and securely, and sound great. I haven’t tried any of my SpinFits yet. I didn’t like the sound of the stock tips orThe Final E tips that much. The bass seemed more muddy.

I did. My first impression on the V3 is sibilant and shouty. It's because the default dip switch setting of it was both emphasizing the bass and treble. The 5k pike would bring sibilance pretty bad to my ears.

Yes, my V3's came with both DIP switches in the up position, and while this sounded rather exciting for certain tunes (90s female singer acoustic, say; think Natalie Imbruglia's cover of "Torn"; or even late 60s live Grateful Dead), it was rather atrocious for late-80s post-hardcore and -punk (Laughing Hyenas, Bitch Magnet, or anything mastered by Steve Albini: think Big Black's "Kerosene"), or more recently, a dense guitar track like those by the band Cloakroom.

Turning both DIP switches down relaxed the sound considerably, though in that position, vocals seemed a bit harsh to me, as if boosted too much. Mark Kozelek's deep voice in Sun Kil Moon's "Carissa" grated, rather than soothed.

For me, the only tolerable position was first switch down, second switch up, which preference folks with the V14 also confirm.

I've heard, in this forum, positive responses in the L3 to a wider range of switch positions.

I found some spinfits that came with my fh7. Fit and sound perfect.I tried symbols, didn't sound great. I'm surprised how good the layering, imaging and timbre are. The switches make a lot difference. In my opinion anyway! The stock tips are poor.

The stock tips are not good. They seal well but sound thin and lack resolution

I had understood that the spinfit was too big for the tube of the L3. Spinfit's are my favorites in various IEMs, so great. I only need them to arrive at once, more than 1 month waiting...

Sorry to hear that... I ordered mine (L3's) April 22nd, and received DHL info a couple days ago, with an estimated delivery date of Friday, the 22nd. So 1 month exactly, if they make it on time. I chose the UIEM and Mystique options.

 

[IEMusic]

It took just over a month for me to get them, so that seems like the average wait time currently.

 

[tgx78]

Should've ordered through their own site and paid for DHL.
I ordered April 9 through Aliexpress and still stuck in 'hand over to airline' delivery status.

When I use spiral dots I use 0,1 (softest tip), When I use AZLA SednaEarfitLight Short I use 0,0 larger bore and firm. With Sony triple comforts I use 1,0 smaller bore foam. Sound signature does not change much but the tips help dial it back to a comfortable sometimes. Very nice having the option to change the treble as much as these do.


I would pick up a non qdc version, The comfort has a lot to be desired with qdc cables.It appears that linsoul is now offering a 2 pin configuration.

I think I’m gonna get a CIEM version of the L3, with custom faceplates, and a 2 pin connection eventually. First I need to find a good audiologist. I wonder if ThieAudio takes digital impressions? Reportedly Fearless needs physical impressions.

I’m at the one week mark, and still can’t stop grinning when I listen to the L3s.

I may do CIEM's as well if I like the L3's enough when I get them Friday.

How do you like the L3 compared to FH7?
