Also check reviews for Uiisii CM5. That thing is still legendary status imo. I don't know if its still available, but its worth checking out.

True dat!

My sound tonight

I know not everyone likes these, but I received them today and I really like them. Sound quality is better than I expected. It’s got a nice V shaped signature, pairing was easy with my iPhone. They are also very comfortable.

It’s connected nicely to my AP80, IPhone, and Ak380 Copper.

How’s the volume steps? That seems to be the biggest complaint (at least on the iPhone).

 

[KimChee]

I think the volume steps are a bit off in my opinion, anyways you could just adjust it on your phone if you want. Advancing the track my touching the iems or changing the volume can be a little fiddly at times but very tolerable to me so far....

So you don’t have a problem where 1 volume step (from the phone) is too quiet, but the next volume step (from the phone) blasts your eardrums?

 

[KimChee]

The volume steps up or down 2 bars on the iPhone volume control. So far I’ve been listening to max volume for jamming out for a workout, or one or two steps down and it has been ok for me. If I don’t like it I just manually changed volume on the phone...

Been a week with ES100 and I'm really enjoying it but I'd like a smaller cable like the Sony MH755 for sports activities, is there any option for 2pins 0.75mm that would fit in ZS10 Pro? I've been searching on Aliexpress but it's hard to find something similar.

These combo will cover just about all iem connectors.

Thanks, friend! but ouch $60 for an adapter seems too much for a ZS10 Pro.

If I don't find anything cheaper and ready-made, probably I'll try buying a DIY 2pins socket and solder the MH755 cable instead.

I have ZSN in black and Purple. There's not a bit of difference in sound. If cables can make a difference the light copper colored cable is no different than the regular brown cable. With that said the ZSN sounds a touch better than the ZSN PRO. Its more of a side grade but while the mids sound a touch better on the ZSN with vocals the ZSN PRO has a bit more bite in the mid treble and the bass is more monsterous. Don't knock yourself out getting a ZSN PRO unless you want a bass monster and maybe try something else. The **** Ash is a bit better than both. Its basically a retuned TRN IM2 and it's a considerable upgrade for $23 on AE.

I've only the purple ZSN (picked because purple is a neat color) which I got a fair while before the whole debate over which ZSN cable was better, and never tried any other cables on it. Got the matching cable for my CCA C10 because it was cheap and I liked how it looked better, I'm frequently a sucker for the raw/exposed innards/metals look and I also really like copper as a color.

My measurements of both (no Mic)cables show that the copper cable is superior to the the bronze/brown cable. The copper cable that came with the purple is a decent cable. The cable that came with the other ZSN's is just below avg cable.

KZ ZSN Copper R- 0.308 R+ 0.307 L- 0.307 L+ 0.302
KZ ZSN Bronze R- 1.102 R+ 0.995 L- 0.790 L+ 0.960

I find it hard to get chi-fi DAPs now after testing some with the Andro and getting crazy hiss (I don't mind if the impedance is a bit high, but hiss is a killer). Coincidentally, the two DACs I loved were the Q1Mk2 (really slick design and smaller than I thought) and NX4 DSD (the one I'd get over the Fiio).

Topping started the trend of good value, excellent-measuring, great engineering designs among the chinese source makers, I hope they decide to make a DAP soon.

usd$300 balanced out DAP, Cowon Plenue D2?

Yup, the Q1MK2 is hard to beat for its SQ. And, it's got a balanced output, something the NX4 doesn't have. I'm leaning towards the Xduoo X20 though. The Plenue might be a bit too warm for me, and it has issues with the OS. I may also try a F-Audio dap with the dual balanced AK4497 dac. It has the ability to mod the OP amps also. I might throw some Burson V6 OP amps into it, just for kicks and a bit of extra detail. Anyhow, anything over $300 CDN is out of the equation.

You just might be surprised how good earbuds can be for music. I have some that remind me of a good open backed headphone.

I just got the RY4S PLUS 32 OHM MMCX. Sound potential seems awesome, if only I could keep them from falling out of my ears. Any suggestions? I'm currently using the supplied foam covers.
