Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
I haven't found the design of KZ and CCA products appealing for quite a long time and the cheapness, unimaginative and indifferent nature of them screams out. With such a cadence of new (and, from a consumer's point of view, completely useless) models, it's no wonder. I never thought that the...- 4ceratops

Thanks, I'm totally confused about that already. I really "like" the "systematic" approach of KZ to the logic of tuning with switches. All of us sane users would expect the same set of switches to serve the same logic under different IEMs. And at the same time, any sane user would expect that if...- 4ceratops

Never mind... Can we at least agree that the strongest bass boost and slight treble attenuation is the result of the UUUU setting?- 4ceratops

So, if I understand you correctly, you have finally come to the logical conclusion that you will achieve maximum bass level with reduced treble level with the UUUU setting. After all, it follows from the manufacturer's description. Or?- 4ceratops

Don't worry about it at all. I'm sure the manufacturer doesn't know either 🖖- 4ceratops

Earbuds Round-Up
You can create a significantly (very significantly) better sounding combination of a detachable cable and earbuds by buying the RY4S Plus and any cable without an earhook, like their production ones. You get to about the same price level as the FF1, but with a significantly more musical sound...- 4ceratops

Warm regards. I don't want to be a sage, but the number of 5 drivers per shell fits in my opinion also in the case of PRO 2. Those BA drivers are of dual design (apparently 2 combined in one body), so there are really up to 4 in each shell. So the name ZS 10 will stand for this version as well...- 4ceratops

Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!
I guess those cables never cost that much, it's just such a classic Chinese Ali scam to you.- 4ceratops

I wrote about Vader Balanced. That's just a repackaged Trio priced $1 more. The Vader High-Res is a different tuning for $34 with a reduced bass curve, but I didn't mention those 🖖.- 4ceratops

This isn't even funny anymore. Vader balanced is absolutely the same as CCA Trio (compare the company graphs). Not only is the same hardware used, but they didn't even want to mess with the tuning anymore. So if you want it more expensive, buy it as a KZ and if you want it cheaper, buy it as a...- 4ceratops
