Sorry I tried to state it in the post, down down is 0 0 and down up is 0 1. Those are the 2 settings I used.

124

Agreed the fact a person can tweak it gives it some additional value in my book too.

126

Yea I still lean blon overall with the wide bore tips, but outside of that yes I rank l3 and blon over starfield personally. It doesnt have an offensive sound to me like the solo tho.

127

How can a 26 dollar IEM sound this good? Itā€™s mind blowing. I donā€™t think I prefer any one of the three. I love them all.

Iā€™m very excited about the Fiio FD1. I have the FH7. It fits my ears like a glove with no fit issues. If they can get the tonality right, this could be the perfect IEM for me. I love the sound & speed of the beryllium dynamic driver. The FD1 has a much larger beryllium driver.

Like the Voyager 3 I had - one of the cable connectors is quite loose and IEM falls off the cable each time I pull it out of my pocket. Dropped it couple times already due to this. They should really use MMCX or regular 2 pin connectors. Also I find quite unacceptable that there is no info in the box what the dip switches do.

Does anyone know if the Legacy 3 is QDC or 2 pin?

131

Legacy 3 is 2 pin.

Technically both, the stock Legacy 3 is QDC, which does work with regular 2 pin cables anyway, but the custom versions of the Legacy 3 seem to be 2 pin and not QDC.

How long did people here have to wait for their order? I ordered off Linsoul on June 24 and they havenā€™t shipped it yet. Iā€™m paying for express shipping to Canada btw. Really hoping I could get it delivered before July 13

134

When I ordered my custom shell Legacy 3ā€™s it took about 2 weeks before they were ready to ship, when they shipped (with Express shipping) it took them about a week to get to me.

Other orders I made from Linsoul shipped within a day or two, so I assume it was the custom option that made the shipment take longer.

135

Yeahā€¦ I didnā€™t get the custom L3ā€™s. Just the basic clockwork one. Hope it can ship soon!

136

Thanks for clarifying. I have a custom and didnā€™t remember the stock is different.

137

2 to 3 weeks probably. Iā€™m still waiting for the Mangird Tea to arrive.

138

I got the Mystique design and mine shipped in a day or two. Could be they had it on the shelf.

Thanks for this! I might change my order to the mystique if it means faster shipping.

I love the case that comes with it! I much prefer these to starfields, tapes, and the blon03.

My clockworks non-custom just arrived! Surprised to see that Thieaudio has upgraded the packaging of non-customs to the same packaging as the customs. The case is similar to the case you get for customs which is really great. Overall, theyā€™re great, but the soundstage and overall detail is not as good as the Starfields. Starfields win in my book!

Have You tried multiple dips and tips because they are not as resolving to me because the information is too laid back on the starfields. Unless I listen at really high volumes and the thats a no go for me.

Edit: wasnt trying to be a dick, just wanted to check. I did a back and forth on The Trail to double check after posting this. I think the starfield sound more vast, but I think thats because of the bloated bass when compared and the extra emphasis on room reverb it shoves in your face with that song. I think the drums and vocals are better on the L3(better definition of the vocals without smearing/glare) as well as the fact that the stage doesnt seem claustrophobic, or too large so it has better more natural staging as a personal preference edge too.

I can definitely see how the starfields could be laid back, but thereā€™s a smoothness to them that I really enjoyed. But what really got me hooked to them was the large soundstage that really wraps around my entire head. Havenā€™t heard any IEM that was able to pull that off.

I can definitely see the appeal of the L3ā€™s in the bass department, but the highs and female vocals just felt a little bit too sharp and in my face. Maybe I just found out that Iā€™m treble sensitive lol. Overall, I donā€™t think anyone can really go wrong with choosing the L3s or the Starfields, it really just becomes a preference of sound signature.

Yea Iā€™m 100% in agreeance, like on the bass setting I think the L3 is just up there in treble, but when you change it to the other treble setting its too sharp for me. Good stuff :slight_smile:
