Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
The new AZ20 Earhooks look great. Qualcomm Lossless BT 5.3. I wish they went with a standard 2-Pin though. I can't use my best IEMs with that recessed connector. I hope they release a standard version at some point, because I can't find other earhooks with specs like this.- bhazard

Hifiman Edition XS Launched
I had the Monoprice THX-887 driving it. Specs say 32 ohms: 6000mW, so I was near 4w @ 50ohms. To me, the low end was better on the V2, but everything else (mids, soundstage, treble, imaging, etc) was noticeably better on the XS. Agreed on the crap stock cables and poor earpads. I use XINHS...- bhazard

Hifiman Edition XS Launched
Original HE-6 SE or V2? I had V2 and found the XS to be better, but I never tried the original.- bhazard

Hifiman Edition XS Launched
In 20+ years of being an audiophile, I've never been happier with a headphone. I've owned many, and the XS is simply the best price/performance set, as well as one of the best tuned I've ever owned. It blows away previous Hifiman and Audeze sets I've had. With that said, I also needed to have...- bhazard

Nope, not biting on the ZAR unless there are some extensive reviews this time. HM20 and whatever the other one was before it are already collecting dust.- bhazard

The discovery thread!
Kiwi Ears Cadenza Based on it's tuning/graph I thought I would really like it in stock form. Surprisingly, I don't. AS pointed out some flaws of it before. It feels like the dynamic driver is limited in it's performance. I also felt like the treble was uninspiring.... because it is. Things fall...- bhazard

MEAOES Audiophile IEMs impressions & reviews
Eagle has better low end extension and sub/midbass levels. Takes a slight boost there like a champ for even more impact. Hexa starts to enhance after 2kHz, but at a much lesser degree than the Eagle after 1kHz. This makes them sound similar up top but without that extra boost the Eagle has...- bhazard

If the Blessing 2 is like this I was missing out, but no longer. Excellent IEM and a value powerhouse that invites competition.- bhazard

MEAOES Audiophile IEMs impressions & reviews
...and it's a problem that keeps these from being exceptional. I finally tried the Truthear HEXA today, and it makes it hard to justify keeping the Eagle. I'll hold on for an auto eq/squib and the new filters.- bhazard

Truthear Impressions/Discussion
Finally able to spend time with the Hexa today. Immediate thoughts? If I boost subbass a bit more than I usually do on most IEMs, I can match the SQ of the Meaoes Eagle and Aful Performer 5 quite easily without any other adjustments. Those are $150 and $220. Hexa is $80. Very, very impressive...- bhazard
