Thanks for the reply.. I am from India and i do not have much choice in buying eartips. Is there anything specific you can suggest i can get from aliexpress?
Ashesh

Aliexpress has plenty of cheap tips. What you have to look for is foam tips, or tips with a long and narrow bore. And of course it has to fit the earphones. You can consider triple flange, if it fits your ear.

  Hi, need a little help with LZ-z03a. I feel like the treble is little harsh for me or i think its the high mid spikes, I am very new to these so may be i am not able to explain clearly. Is there some way to tone it down a little??
I feel the drums sound a little tinny (thin sound like tin cans) or is it only me?? 
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Ok, so finally got my Tennmak Piano off the burner, and I wasn't expecting it to be THIS bass-centric.  I had a hard time achieving a seal with the provided tips, so I pulled my favorite tips from my RE300 which have never failed to impress, and after putting them on I listened to a couple of test tracks.  My initial response was to check my Clip+ to see if I was using bass boost, which I was not.  The bloody things shake the ear canals, maybe not too far off from my XB60s...  I'll have to pull those off to check.  So yeah, at least for me, any bass-oriented music can use these little guys and have zero regrets doing so.  I always start off with Radiohead's Nude to see how the bass sounds, and then their Packed Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box.  These are some impressively bassy little guys.  I'd be a little afraid to hook them up to something like my E12 or C5 and turn up the bass.

thanks! will try the ostrys with some iems, i guess the os100 is the suitable one (don't need to enhance bass, searching for balanced sig), correct me if mistaken.
 
another way to avoid lz-za03a treble harsh consists of equalizing them: just decrease 2dB the 6KHz frequency

I've been enjoying my Piano a lot. They have significantly less bass than the VJJB K4 and Zircon (everything has less than Zircon for me lol). The Piano has a very smooth non-fatiguing sound and I can wear them for a very long time without any discomfort. I'm very happy with mine.

@To.M I always tend to focus on vocals when picking volume, so with vocals as a happy place, the bass is certainly present, but the vocals aren't lost to them.  I'm not treble sensitive in the least, so I can't comment on whether or not it can cause treble spikes that would cause discomfort to others (one of the reasons I LOVE my HD700.)  All in all, given this is my initial listen with roughly 100 hours of burn in, I'm pleasantly surprised.  Guitars have a decent sound to them, and bass guitar has a more visceral impact to them due to the increased bass.  I'd probably feel the Z03A is the technically superior IEM given the two aren't exactly far apart in costs, but this one so far strikes me as the more fun.  Plus the additions (detachable cable, huge IEM case which is nice for my RE-262 given it's various cable attachments, 9 or so pairs of seemingly decent quality tips) I'd have zero hesitation recommending this IEM to anyone so far, but of course given this is an initial listening please keep that in consideration.  Also, what Radiohead and Shiny Toy Guns I've listened to with this IEM sounded quite enjoyable.  Currently listening to Muse's Drones via HD Tidal.
 
Also (different topic) while looking at Easy's new items, I noticed a closed headphone for around $290 that caught my attention, but not quite my interest, not yet at least.  It has a 50mm driver with 6 BAs, which I can't seem to think of any full sized headphones that use BAs, but I'm sure there has to be someone that's tried.  Are there larger versions of BAs that I'm not aware of?  Or are we talking the standard BAs which I personally would wonder if they'd be drowned out by the 50mm dynamic.

left the pianos apart because didn't achieve to make them sound decent enough. thought they were defective, but, after reading your impressions, the cause might be an improper sealing. tried spiral dots, foam, besides of stock ones. none worked, the mids and highs kept sounding horrible (after +200 hours burn in). going to search those RE300 tips which worked for you, to check their appearance (maybe i can find similar ones in my stock)

  Ok , i will buy Xiaomi Hybrid if isn't something else  better , i don't want brands  like : XJGUIR  , that only 2 people knows=)))
So , it's a good decission?

 
my personal opinion is thet it's not the right decission.
i also prefer xiaomi piston 3. it's a safe bet for all kind of music, and you can find them very cheap easily now.
it seems that the hybrids (which could have more potential thanks to the added BA) are not tuned well enough. find reviews, and you'll see the piston 3 is a better bet (i've bought about 8 pairs :p)
 
there are many other contenders around that price now, but can't recommend one (kz ed9, joyroom e107, are in transit, and **** ue, lz-z02a, slightly more expensive, are being cooked).

Try EQing the "twin peaks" at 3 & 6 kHz.
Eventually reduce bass at 50Hz.
