Build: Nozzle is made out of metal but the rest of the shell feels like plastic and something else. But very high quality nonetheless. L/R is marked on the shell itself in white/red color. Very lightweight build. There is a lip on the nozzle that allows you to extend the tip (and therefore get a deeper fit) if you place it further out.

Fit: Very good and works both when worn over ear or down (I wear it over ear). Should fit most people due to the smaller size. From average to a bit deeper than average fit, can be achieved depending on how place the tip.

Comfort: Very good since it is pretty small.

Isolation: Above average but nothing special.

Setup: Ibasso DX160 (low gain, volume around 33), Final Audio Type E LL tips, Tri Through cable (4.4mm)

Lows: Absolutely epic and phenomenal bass quality/quantity. Massive bass quantity on bassy tracks but is still very clean and doesn’t cause the tonality to be overly warm and is actually more neutral (not leaning towards warmth or brightness), while it is just a bit boosted on more acoustic tracks. Very well-tuned bass that is versatile enough while it has a basshead level quantity when a song has it.

Mid-bass: Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), Clean because of the tight/fast bass and the quantity is good but not overly boosted, although individual strikes aren’t that distinct. The (02:55-03:01) section with the chopper is pretty clean but it could be cleaner and more hearable.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), A lot of quantity so it is very fun but still clean due to the speed/tightness. Texture is pretty good as well but could be better.

Sub-bass: Djuro – Drop that bass (01:15-01:30), Extends very good and rumbles a lot but still very clean. Punch quantity is also very high, but it could be tighter/faster and with more texture.

Will Sparks – Sick like that (03:08-03:22), Lots of quantity and is very clean due to the speed/tightness while texture is very good.

Mids: Mids are very natural and clean, male/female vocal balancing is excellent. Although a bit recessed on both. Tonality with male vocals tend to be more natural for my library since the female vocals are better if they are a bit on the brighter side.

Female-vocals: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), Timbre is excellent and very clean overall. The vocals do need a bit more brightness to be more accurate, but they are very natural. They could be more forward as well.

Yuki Hayashi – MightU (01:58-02:55), Very clean but tonality needs to be brighter and more forward vocals.

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), Not shouty at all and very clean, tonality is very good and sounds very natural.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Crescent (02:07-02:26), Not shouty at all, very impressive.

Male-vocals: Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (00:57-01:17), Spot on tonality and very clean despite the bass quantity.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Scapegoat (00:57-01:17), Also spot-on tonality but could be more forward.

Treble: Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day (03:24-03:42), very good tonality and without it being sharp at all.

Deuce – America (03:03-03:16), Not shouty or fatiguing, very well done.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), Timbre and texture are very good on both the violins/cellos. Tonality with the cellos is spot on. But the violin does need to be brighter. Clarity and details are also very good although the treble extension could be better (would benefit the violin sound more airy and more micro details overall).

Hiroyuki Sawano &Z (02:18-02:57), Tonality needs to be brighter to be more accurate and with more forward vocals

Soundstage: It is pretty wide, but otherwise average at this price range.

Tonality: Bass boosted neutral is what I would describe it as (with slightly recessed mids).

Details: Pretty average and nothing special, but it is quite impressive if you consider how bassy it is.

Instrument Separation: Pretty good.

Songs that highlight the IEM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWjCr2bx9XU

Good genres:

Hip-hop, EDM, Trance, Pop, Kpop, Jpop, OST, Linkin Park, Yasuharu Takanashi, Hiroyuki Sawano

Bad genres: Very versatile, but Jpop artists like Aimer are better with brighter tonalities and acoustic tracks also need less bass quantity and brighter tonality as well.

Comparisons:

IEM: Sony XBA-Z5, Final Audio Type E LL tips, Faaeal litz copper cable (4.4mm)

Bass:

Djuro – Drop that bass (01:15-01:30), extends lower on the Z5 but rumbles more on the N3. Punch quantity is also a bit more on the N3 while speed, tightness and texture are a bit better on the Z5.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), more quantity on the N3 but tighter, faster and more textured on the Z5 so it is cleaner.

Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), more quantity on the N3 but a bit tighter and faster on the Z5 while texture is similar. Cleaner on the Z5.

Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), better tonality on the N3 and less recessed vocals as well. More detailed and cleaner vocals on the N3.

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), a bit better tonality on the N3, but otherwise very similar.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Scapegoat (00:57-01:17), better tonality and less recessed vocals on the N3, while it is more detailed.

Treble: Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day (03:24-03:42), better tonality and more natural timbre on the N3. A bit more details on the N3 (micro details and especially the cymbals).

Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), tonality, timbre, texture and details are better on the N3 with both the violins/cellos. Although the texture with the cellos on the Z5 is better.

Hiroyuki Sawano &Z (02:18-02:57), better tonality, timbre and details on the N3. But a bit too much bass quantity in comparison to the Z5.

Technicalities: Shiro Sagisu – Hundred years war (02:24-02:57), soundstage is bigger on the Z5. Details, instrument separation and imaging are a bit better on the N3. Timbre is better on the N3 too.

Overall: The N3 is a better tuned iem than the Z5, with more bass quantity but still more balanced overall. Technicalities are also better and more natural sounding on the N3 than the Z5. The Z5 wins in the huge soundstage it has and with better bass quality. But overall, I rec the N3 over the Z5 (even if both were priced the same) and the N3 is easier to drive and also fits better.

Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), very similar tonality but more forward and cleaner/detailed on the A7.

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), a tiny bit less fatiguing on the N3 but very similar in how non-offending they are. Cleaner and more detailed on the A7 though.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Scapegoat (00:57-01:17), better tonality on the N3 (a bit warmer) but a bit more forward vocals on the A7 and cleaner, more detailed as well.

Treble: Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day (03:24-03:42), a bit less fatiguing on the N3 and better timbre as well. Cleaner and more detailed on the A7 while the electric guitars tonality is better.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), treble extension, details, texture and tonality with the violins on the A7 are better but timbre is better on the N3. Cello tonality, texture and timbre are similar but cleaner and more detailed on the A7.

Hiroyuki Sawano &Z (02:18-02:57), timbre is better on the N3, but better tonality, details and cleaner on the N3

Technicalities: Shiro Sagisu – Hundred years war (02:24-02:57), soundstage, details, instrument separation and imaging are all better on the A7. Timbre is better on the N3 though.

Overall: The N3 is a more fun experience but not as clean and technical as the A7. A7 is the easier rec for sure (with 10 configs) but if you like a bassy (but clean) and warmer/relaxing iem, the N3 is a very good iem.

Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), Very bloated bass on the E5000, much faster, tighter and more textured.

Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), better tonality on the N3, the E5000 sounds very dark and unclean.

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), better tonality on the N3 and cleaner and more detailed as well. More recessed mids on the E5000 as well.

IEM: Sony MDR-EX800ST (EQ simulating XBA-N3), Final Audio Type E LL tips, stock cable (3.5mm)

FIY: My EQ preset on the EX800ST is meant to simulate the N3, so this comparison is more on how close the EX800ST gets to the N3 with EQ. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE EX800ST WITHOUT EQ.

Bass:

Djuro – Drop that bass (01:15-01:30), extends lower and rumbles more on the N3. Punch quantity is also higher on the N3 but is a bit faster and tighter on the EX800ST while texture is similar.

Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), quantity is similar but tighter and faster on the N3 while texture is similar. Sounds more bloated and less clean on the EX800ST.

Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), tonality is similar but a bit more forward vocals on the EX800ST. Cleaner and more detailed on the N3 though.

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), similar tonality but cleaner and more detailed on the N3. Fatigue-free and very relaxing on both.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Scapegoat (00:57-01:17), very similar tonality but cleaner and more detailed on the N3.

Technicalities: Shiro Sagisu – Hundred years war (02:24-02:57), soundstage is similar in width but deeper on the N3. Instrument separation, details, imaging and timbre are better on the N3.

Overall: The N3 is on another level. But the EX800ST is very versatile if you can use PEQ as it responds very well to it and you can get it to sound very similar to the N3 (and also the XBA-Z5).

Headphone: Sony MDR-1AM2, stock pads, stock cable (4.4mm)

Bass:

Djuro – Drop that bass (01:15-01:30), extends and rumbles more on the N3. Punch quantity is higher on the N3 as well but is tighter and faster on the 1AM2 while texture is similar.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Pretenders (01:18-01:47), quantity is higher on the N3 but tighter, faster and a bit more textured on the 1AM2.

Metallica – fight fire with fire (01:11-01:52), quantity is higher on the N3 but much faster and tighter on the 1AM2 while texture is similar.

Mids: Hiroyuki Sawano – OldToday (01:25-01:52), better tonality (brighter) and more forward vocals on the 1AM2 with better details and clarity as well.

Evanescence – Bring me to life (01:18-01:35), less fatiguing and more relaxing on the N3 but more detailed and cleaner on the 1AM2 while it is also a bit sharp on the 1AM2.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Scapegoat (00:57-01:17), a bit recessed vocal on both but better tonality on the N3 while it is cleaner and more detailed on the 1AM2.

Treble: Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day (03:24-03:42), cleaner and more detailed but sharp electric guitars on the 1AM2.

Hiroyuki Sawano – Lose (string version) (01:22-01:59), Cello tonality is better on the N3 but similar texture and timbre while more detailed on the 1AM2. Violin tonality, treble-extension, details and clarity are better on the 1AM2.

Technicalities: Shiro Sagisu – Hundred years war (02:24-02:57), Soundstage is a bit bigger on the 1AM2. Details, instrument separation and imaging are better on the 1AM2 while timbre is similar.

Overall: The 1AM2 is the headphone equivalent of the N3. N3 is more relaxing and fatigue-free because it is warmer though.

Conclusion: If you are a bass lover and prefer a warmer/neutral, relaxing, fatigue-free sound. This is an excellent iem for you and I absolutely rec it. But if you are a treble-head/vocal-head then I don’t rec it for you. Sony has done it again after the XBA-Z5, the question now is…where do Z5/N3 users go next? Thanks for reading.
