When I say I've heard $500 earphones (or $1000) worse than Zero, we need to come in from the right angle.

People who may not have heard that $1000 earphone will instantly assume more expensive is just 'better' because its $1000. But the truth is that $1000 earphone never sounded anywhere near its price in the first place, was just a lemon some company wanted to milk the gravy train with. So, always think outside the square people, everything isn't what it seems in portable audio, especially when price/performance is concerned.

Ok, I'm a little confused. Shozy say that the Zero is in production, will be available for pre-order soon, and on sale by mid-May. So what, exactly, are Penon et al currently selling and delivering?

Maybe a pre-sale? A bunch of us have received as review samples.

I think it's pre production (1st batch) version, the official version with shozy logo and some minor cosmetic changes will be launch later this month. AFAIK...

The unit i received has the shozy logo engraved on the terminal plug. I really hope they include a chin slider to make things cleaner

The burn in really did make a difference... huh. Doesn't always happen for me but did with these.

 

[warrior1975]

What changed Vapman? Are you using just your laptop?

Nothing on Zero, but a good read nevertheless.
