Let me\us know your impressions...I'm tossing around the idea as well but am hesitant because I have so many hp's.

Okay. I can go there. They are Amazing. They are 2nd only to my TK12 so far. However, If it wasn't for the fact I like a little Darker sound the LZ-Z03A are definitely the Icon's equals only just a tad brighter.... both are incredibly good for single DD drivers.

I'd be hard pressed to decide. I favor the ICONS simply because they are darker over all. The LZ are extremely refined sounding, and can hold theor own. They have great bass extension

LZ s are almost half the price of ICONS. I will get the ICONS on wednesday, but LZ would have taken a month. Is there a comparision of these two somewhere i can read??

Pretty sure Twin can give you that pleasure.
 
On another note, I put in my Yamaha EPH-100 today after only listening to the Icons for a while and holy subbass my folks. The EPH-100 instantly started warping my ears with awesome sub bass, I knew that they had plenty of it but didint realise exactly how plenty. So a short compo is in order.
 
Yamaha EPH-100
 
More sub bass
Bigger soundstage
Mids are silkier/smoother
Warmer
 
---
 
OnePlus Icons
 
Less sub bass punch
Treble is more consistent and detailed
Treble is more extended
Darker

I cancelled the icons and bought the lz-03a. I could not buy both so had to compromise. i got a pretty good deal for lz-z03a. i hope it will be awesome.

You won't go wrong with either choice. They are both stellar performers.

A little update on as I've been away for a while.

The icons are still an amazing everyday driver for me, sound has opened up even more. Now that I've got the large Auvios on them it's really hard to fault these IEMs.

Glad to hear you're still enjoying these. The way things have been moving around here lately, hype trains are running the short-line and good earphones are being forgotten quite quickly.
