Thank you, also do you have a link for theTanchjim filters? Thanks!

No sorry. I got my filters from Tanchjim Hana purchase while back.
Unfortunately I don't think they are available at AliExpress.
I contacted UM about my findings about the filters.
Hopefully they can source them and include it with a future sale.

I’ve had these for a couple of weeks now. Quite the gorgeous finish. I’m in the process of reviewing this simultaneously with another IEM, which is also quite good.

Initial impressions are that this to me provides the “typical” UM sound, which is full of clarity and detail along with a slightly warm, rich sound. Tip changing does alter the signature of course. I must say that while I am a UM fan (still have the Maestro V2), the other IEM is giving this a go. I hate to mention what it is just yet, without formal thoughts; suffice to say I like both for differing reasons.

This is a good affordable UM model.
Ok, can you reveal the other IEM now?😊

Anyone have the 3DT (promo price $299 at local store until next week) and LZ A7 and Dunu DK2001 ($270 at AE) can help for comparison?
More interested in their size, bass, clarity and soundstage comparison.

TIA

I don’t have the Dunu DK2001, but the LZ A7 is relatively small, and is smaller than the 3DT. I think the 3DT should be fine for most people, but possibly it could be too large for a select few. The LZ A7 fits me really well, and I haven’t read of any fit problems with others. A7 has a metal shell, so it could feel cold, if that’s an issue for you.

The LZ A7 can have more bass than the 3DT with some of it’s tunings, but not a whole lot more. Both have very percussive, fast, and detailed bass. The A7 bass sounds just slightly drier to me. Overall detail and transient attack is excellent on both, but detail is a little better on the 3DT (again, quite possibly the most detail I’ve EVER heard, even with a filter in place). Clarity is slightly more on the 3DT with stock tuning, and is about the same with the Tanchjim filters on the 3DT. Soundstage sounds similar to me on both, but imaging is notably better on the 3DT, with a holographic presentation.

Thank you so much @IEMusic for your comparison.

My apology I did not mention that I have the LZ A7 which is my current (most expensive) reference unit.

I enjoy my LZ A7 very much but somewhat I feel I need more bass (currently using Gold/monitor) but at the same time I do not want to lose its clarity and technicality. I tried other nozzles and mode but Gold/monitor suit me best.
Its shell size is also perfect for my small ears, however, its nozzle is a bit bigger than my ear canal, still can bear the minor pain though.

Metal shell isn't an issue for me as I am living in South East Asia.

I guess UM 3DT is not (yet) what I am looking for then.

Is 3DT bigger than Volt?

Hi guys. This 3DT caught my eye when I was researching IEMs.

i haven’t done muchaudio lately and basically since 2013 I have neglected it but after seeing my old IE8s and iBasso D10 in the corner of a drawer I decided to give a listen again.

I’m considering Moondrop's B2D and the 3DT now — anyone here upgraded from IE8s? My main favorites of the IE8 were the warm, engaging punchy bass, the soundstage and the clarity up high. I hear the Blessing has better separation which is an added bonus for me. (Bonus points if anyone has comparisons for the B2D and the 3DT :P)

also — for those that hve it, any dap recommendations? Or perhaps usb dac recommendations for listening out of my laptop. A friend has recommended me the FiiO Q3 but I havent researched source gear much yet.
Thank you!!
