I donât have an OH10 personally but the FH3 bass is about as fast and controlled as it gets. FD5 as well. Both are beryllium DDs.
Yep i agree, the FH3 is the best bang for the buck and the bass is incredible, but the OH10âs bass is totally different, it does not have more quantity it does have more speed and control which is invaluable for styles like progressive metal.
You can add like 10db in the low end if you like and it will still not get boomy, which is not true for the FH3.
Again, not badmouthing the FH3âs bass, it is awesome, but you have to hear the OH10 and then you will understand the difference.
Oh in that case i think i need to hear this LZ A6 then!
Donât get moisture near them! 
Yeah, it sounds like you like it.
The problem however that makes me hesitate is.
-
reports on moisture issue, I dont have it. But there are enough reports out there for it to be a concerning point.

Timbre, it doesnt have a natural timbre. It is a very exotic and unique sounding iem. If you have heard the Shuoer Tape (original), it is kinda like the upgrade to that one.
I write and record progressive metal music. Itâs my favorite genre of music but I listen to everything.
I canât speak from experience concerning the OH10 but I have difficulty believing it is faster and more controlled than the FH3. No offense. I donât really want to buy another IEM just to compare them. 
but you have my curiosity.
The FH3 & FD5 excel at incredibly fast transient music such asâŠ
Other DD materials canât keep up with the transient speed and smear the notes together.

hahaha yeah for sure, donât even go there man, i wish i had never heard the OH10 and i would be 100% satisfied with the FH3, but trust me it is indeed faster and more controlled and it is not a small difference too.
If you watch the Z reviews for the FH3 he will mention that the bass is nowhere close to the OH10 so that kind of confirms my own impressions, i did notice that before watching his videos so i was not influenced by it.
Donât listen to anything Z has to say concerning IEMs. He uses foams!

Wow is that you playing in that video?! Super skilled, i cant get used to 7 strings no matter how much i tryâŠ
hahaha, yeah foams suck but if he uses foams in both the comparison is still kind of valid
Ha ha, no. Thatâs a test track I use to test transient speed. Jason Richardson is a beast. But its the combination of the kick, bass and palm muting being played at those speeds and tightness where IEMs fall apart. Most listeners donât get it and canât understand the difference because their music does not require the speed of beryllium. Most people equate âgood bassâ to âloud bassâ
Iâm personally more in the vein of Dream Theater for writing/recording.

A professional IEM reviewer that uses foams? Think about that for a minute. Ha ha!
oh godâŠptsd flashbacks when some of my IRL friends asked for headphones that can play LOUDâŠ
seriously dont understand how that thought is pretty wide spreadâŠ
It would be like saying the saltier the food is, the tastier it isâŠ

I hear ya, to me the benchmark for perfect bass = planar bass. After i heard the Hifiman 400i i was intrigued, it was the first planar i ever heard. From there i quickly moved to the Sundara which is endgame for me.
Now i am searching for a comparable IEM, not quite there yet but having lots of fun in my search.
Most people donât know what they should be listening for when it comes to quality bass. A big part of it is recording quality. If youâre listening to classic rock, you shouldnât even be participating in the conversation. Lots of music recorded back then wasnât even capable of properly recording low frequencies, let alone eqing and mastering them.
Iâm coming from a mixing and mastering standpoint with my experience, not just from someone who listens for enjoyment, so I probably have a different viewpoint. When Iâm listening to music and my equipment shows me something impressive in any aspect of the mix, thatâs exciting for me because I see mixing as an artform. If your equipment canât portray the music, youâre going to be missing aspects of it. It amazes me how different music sounds on different equipment and I love gazing through the different lenses at music to see what can be found in the depths. Itâs an addiction.
If you guys want to check out some monstrous bass that is on the cusp of falling apart in the mix, check this outâŠ
If your gear is keeping this bass elevated, clear, textured and defined for this track, itâs doing its job!

Well⊠there is the Tin Hifi P1 which is a planar. But it needs a ton of juice and EQ.

Not for me. Planars lack the dynamic slam I require for the bass to have impact. The Sundara is sub bass anemic.
I completely disregard how any IEM or headphone sound from stock, to me what is important is what it CAN do, this is not how i usually EQ it but take a look at this low shelf.
The Sundara can reproduce that with ZERO distortion, it is the best bass i have ever heard in my life, its impact is absurd, sub bass extends all then way down, it is just a unique experience.
Yep the P1 was on my radar, but even though it is planar not many good reviews about its sub bass. I wonder how well it would accept some EQâŠ
I got a PEQ preset for it. It responds well to it.
But honestly the FH3 is already a better iem than the maxed out P1 (Power + EQ)âŠ
So yeah, I dont really rec it. Just wanted to mention if you werent aware of planar iems.
