I use almost every day a IER-Z1R at office and IER-M9 for sleeping ... I apply some PEQ with PowampEQ to adjust a bit sound quality to my personal taste with M9 (a low shelf under 80hz). I would think like you, that M9 can offer really good low frequencies, though IER-Z1R is still a little...

Probably due to Apple first and then other the biggest android firms .. but BT items took the lead because most of smartphones don't have any plug for IEM anymore .. so people need to buy at least USB dongles which is far from being convenient particularly while charging the smartphones at...

I am really afraid, that when Sony quits a tech (as they do for decades) .. they never come back again... I suppose they consider IEM market became really tiny and is almost dead. They seem to concentrate on TWS and Wireless Headphones only for a while.. for Europe there are almost no wired IEM...

I was thinking, with the serious FIIO, that the FA19 would be a solid full BA IEM with a kind of step up for sound quality compared to my actual rather old IER-M9/IER-Z1R/XBA-N3 combo.. I am still wondering why BA needs to be implemented with so many drivers to be more or less efficient .. why...

I own IE900, IER-Z1R, M9 and N3 .... IER-Z1R is still impressive with the hugest sound stage of all IEM I own, IER-M9 is not so far behind in all aspects and makes me wonder why full BA like M9 are underrated for lows.. (So, I am interested in FIIO FA19 now) M9 is really comfortable, even for...

I am afraid the FA19 are too big for my ears, but as I am really loving the full BA IER-M9 (just a bit behind the hybrid IER-Z1R sound quality), it's possible that FIIO could reach same sound quality as Sony if not better.. I feel really strange and just wonder why IEMs need so many drivers in...

Years after Years IER-Z1R is still my favorite IEM with (M9) .. I tried and bought so many IEMs, but none can resist to an A/B comparison with Z1R (highs and ultra lows). I went the opposite way as you and prefer to use some larger tips very deeply inserted on the IER-F1R nozzles (with pushing...

Oups .. I was thinking about TWS because of comparing with ZX1-PNK which is a TWS .. Sorry for my mistake. Actually, though I use in planes the Technics A800 .. I prefer the ZX1-PNk too over any BT headphones for musical qualities.. for ANC efficiency modern BT headphones are far ahead.

I still own both .. and stopped using 1000XM5 ..as the ZX1-PNK : ->is a bit nearer to decent IEM sound quality than Sony.. -> the Battery playing time is far longer with ZX1-PNK too (by at least 2 hours more) -> Sony's LC3 codec doesn't increase playing time nore sound quality is not really...

In 2024 .. all DAPs are basically missing 5G for comfortable streaming providers access on the way or even to access our personal music streaming servers (Bubble Upnp) .. this smartphone is an interesting way to do this (with access through android 13 to powerampEQ or wavelet)... But .. it's...

I think I own them already and tried without success.. I can't remember if I got them with the Zetian WU or Princess Changle I bought.. It seems, in my case, to be far better with Comply Foam though some flex are still present when I lay down. I think I will have to look with the different...

Unfortunately .. I understood that there are no real universal tips on the market, in my case, each type of IEM or TWS, I own and use, needs a specific ear tip, to get perfect seal, length, comfort, and the proper bore to get the best sound quality... and very often I need to add some serious...

I ordered them this morning just after your suggestion .. TRI Clarion Silicone Earphone Eartips 3 Pairs For Nozzle 4.5mm-5.5mm .. they should be in my house before 10 days. I want to know, as I like silicon tips usually.

I didn't know that, so I will have a look .. Yes, maybe choosing the proper nozzles should be a way to fix this issue, though this afternoon I am using some Comply Foam which, which seems at least to avoid the flex issue while moving my jaw... which is a first reassuring good step. next step...
