  • How would you compare the bass with Sony XBA-Z5?

    • Bass is not as full as the XBA-Z5 but feels to have better texturing aspects.

  • Which over-ear Headphone would equate to Earsonics velvet? DT880 ? DT990? T1? K702? K701? or?

    • Unfortunately we haven’t experienced the over-ear Headphone models you mentioned so are unable to provide a comparison currently. If we get a chance to sample them we will let you know which is similar. Thanks

  • Do you have idea for change stock cable ?, what cable I must buy?.

    Thanks

    • Effect Audio Ares II and II plus work well and are good value. Also the PW Audio range is excellent value. Both have decent synergies with the EarSonics products we have sampled.
