    I prefer the Sennheiser MX375 over the andros with Sony WM1A, I know I've lost it.

    I don't think so. I thought the Solaris sounded good on my Xperia XZ1 Smartphone, even if on a tech level it had some issues.

    What’s the OI of your phone vs Sony?

    @brencho no Idea but I suspect that's what's going on given the reputation of CA IEMs.

    I’m assuming OI affects the BA drivers in the Solaris and not the DD driver. Maybe it’s shelving the upper mid or treble to where you like it? I don’t think I’d describe Sony sound as rough from memory

    Given that the Pixel XL has about 4.8 ohm OI, and I don't think Google has really put that much thought into audio since then, maybe the 3A is somewhere in that ballpark? I do prefer Solaris out of higher output impedance devices as well. My AK120 has 3.5 ohm OI, for instance.

    Not weird at all. To me, ZX300 tends to make the upper-mid a bit hotter and the bass a tad leaner compared to stuff from Hiby or WM1A or even an iPhone. It's something I've noticed with both Andros and FDX1, a bit worse with the former. For something that has tube-like organic lows, its upper-mid and treble is quite solid-state-like.
