I had to put them down after a few minutes…otherwise I wont get anywhere with the GS Audio GD3A review lol. :+1:

But from my very short impressions, it is definitely the LZ A6/mini (somewhere in between the A6 mini and the A6 in terms of timbre and uniqueness) of the headphone world. :heart_eyes:

The driver backs/cups look like something from a Sci-Fi movie air extraction conduit…Alien stylee lol.

Yeah, it looks very futuristic to me.

Guess I can mention that this is going to be on-ear for probably 80% of you guys here. For me its somewhat in between on and over ear lol.

maybe a little stretch to prevent big clamp and pad break-in is needed tbh

yeah, I did notice the clamp was a bit harder than on my other closed-back (Sony 1AM2). Well, I wont use it for a while because my schedule is full lol (GS Audio GD3A and GD11).

CP100+ fits the FD5 very well. No difficulty at all. The silicone tips felt kinda grip-y and it kinda stick a bit of the dust easily when I left it on my table overnight. Can still be easily clean so it’s no biggie.

Sound wise, the only thing I noticed easily are the background vocals and overall soundstage feels more… Pronounced? The vocals isn’t necessarily forward. It’s still a bit recessed as always but the details are somewhat better for me. By listening to Wendy’s ‘When This Rain Stops’, I could hear her vocal vibrato clear as day. It got me goosebumps.

Other than that, it’s mostly the same. Maybe the bass has better slam but I didn’t feel much difference. Good companion for the FD5 and my kpop music library!

Sennheiser seems to be having a 2 month discount sale on the IE 400 PRO and IE 500 PRO for pretty much almost half the price in my country. You guys might be seeing something similar from your own respective countries.

Was never interested in these iems due to mixed reviews and the crazy high price. Never really read much about the IE 900 either but it seems they have been sticking on single DD for a long time.

yeah, seems they do have a sale in sweden as well.

…but its only like… 25/30% off…

Yeah, mine is about 35/40% off. It’s honestly my first time hearing about these iems. I only start noticing them after they announced the IE 300 and 900.

Did a quick check on the 400 & 500 and it seems to be not that well known.

The pro line is less marked to audiophiles and more to musicians for stage monitoring. You are more likely to see them in musician supply stores with brands like westone and audio-technica’s professional line of IEMs.

They are definitely better than the BL-03 (mesh modded), especially in terms of bass quality. I think the resolution and imaging is better too, though it’s still a bit fuzzy compared to my ER3SE. The Arias are very well tuned though.

That’s about all I can really say about them. :sweat_smile:

Oh dang, I was just looking at picking up a higher-end single DD set (IE 900) some time soon… c’mon Dunu, sell me on that Zen Pro, I’m ready for it. :smiley:

Pretty sure the Zen Pro is the last one to be released among the 3 Dunu´s.

The Tanchjim Prism looks beautiful.
