    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Is the Heretic similar to the short lived IEMagni? I still use that one in my office.

    Remax RM-S1 IEM

    I don't think these are still for sale. I still have mine, but fit was always the problem, not sound. However, another ~5 year old IEM, the Tenmark Pro dual driver absolutely still competes with the budget options and is still available. They even sell it as head only for $10, and you buy your...

    I already had the CCA C10 good but not better than ZS10 or ZS10 Pro for me. I also have the **** which I love for its flat response, but isn't great for details, but hadn't heard of a **** Pro yet. Heard of the TRN V90 as not as good as the Blon BL-03, but haven't heard of the others. Thanks!

    I had unsubscribed from this website for ~9 months? The KZ ZS10 was my favorite with proper tips in my own ear, even better than ZS10 Pro, but the Blon BL-03 was the very first earphones out of hundreds I've preferred to use with foam tips to top the KZs. So anything new price competitive? I...

    They seemed too tight when I have no finger nails to speak of. I used metal tweezers the first time, and a paper clip the second time. I scratched them a bit, but no big deal. I'm tempted to by a 10 pack for $30. They are the bassiest really good earphone for every other measure too short of a...

    Not sure why I'm having difficulty getting my pictures to show as either a link or an attachment.

    Here are a couple more pictures of my MH750 They have the metal outer sleave, or whatever term, like your picture, vs. the white outer sleave of the fake one. The pictures were taken with a phone held over a magnifying glass.

    I might try more seriously in a few days. I'm dealing with mild dehydration from sunburn and working outdoors too long in 100 degree F heat. At least cod liver oil helps with sunburn and I'm drinking as much water as I can stand.

    Well, I just tried. I scratched it a bit and felt I would break it if I took it further apart. I have poor vision, and have difficulty trying to focus on anything so small, so not sure if this is good enough.

    I just received a MH750 from this ebay seller, and I'm 100% certain it has to be real judging by sound quality, signature, and efficiency, though I'm not going to open it up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303179542717 That seller might be interesting for some of you because they also sell a bulk...

    I think they are much more different than the ZSN and ZSN Pro difference. Mainly in the 2 KHz and 6 KHz range. Perhaps that could be the cause of the details and soundstage being slightly bigger in my ears in the original ZS10, but because of fit issues, probably not for many people.

    I've definitely been enjoying the ZS10 Pro today. Though I don't consider it an upgrade to the original ZS10, except that many more people will be able to get a perfect fit and so be able to appreciate it better. Unlike the ZSN to ZSN Pro, there was a bigger change in the V-shape profile. 2 KHz...

    I should probably not type while drinking more than thinking. 300 counts duplicates of the same version given or gifted to my kids and friends, and so shouldn't have used that number.I know I've bought at least 40 KZs, but only 15-20 unique ones. I still have about 150 unique IEMs and...

    I have at least 300 IEMs, from $5 to $150, and the ZS10 is still the best for me, given that the large shape plus the right (non-included) tips. It is still better than my Sennheiser HD 58X, Momentum Over Ears, or anything else I've bought. But I understand your point if it doesn't fit your ears...
