I currently have the ZS5 v1 and I'm wondering if the ZSN would be an upgrade. I mostly use them via Bluetooth during my workouts at the gym. I mostly listen to electronic music and rap .So bass is important. Not a big fan of super sibilant highs cause of my tinnitus. ZS5 has served me well but...

It's been a while since I dabbled in KZ in-ears. I see the ZS3 and ZST popping up here and there. Which one would you recommend for someone who likes a laidback sound signature and a bit of bass emphasis yet is not keen on a very sharp high end? My hearing can't really deal with too crispy upper...

I don't know what on earth is going on but I swapped back to stock tips from Comply foams and somehow the high end has opened up. Seems they are more tip sensitive than I initially thought. The high end is a lot better now but mids seem more recessed. Oh well, quest for best tips for these...

There have been 0 reports on fakes so what are you talking about? If you just buy them from any regular reputable retailer (so not via Aliexpress or eBay) you'll just get legit product. Simple.

This makes absolutely no sense. Human ears can only hear 20Hz-20kHz, our minds can't make up frequencies that our hearing can't pick up. With your reasoning global warming isn't real cause you didn't feel cold before so it's not warmer now either. Come on man, I trust a scientific measuring...

I'd probably say that's down to differences in personal preferences, expectations and how quickly people pass judgement on an IEM. I have to concede that even after a good couple of hours of listening they do stay quite dark. Something that is directly noticeable when you have 3 sets of in-ears...

So basically you very politely proved TwinACStacks is full of ****? 

Oh ATE-S, you had my curiosity but now you have my attention!    @cr0wnest given you say you have started to prefer a more warmer sound signature. Would you say the ATE-S falls into this category? You described it has less high end roll off than the SE215. How would you describe the ATE-S high...

I did a quick Google search on these but what's hybrid about them? I only see a silicon ear tip with a coloured inner tube.

Got the HDS1 in today. First impressions, the mids seem a bit lacking. When I listen to vocals they seem quite distant because the mids seem quite subdued. I've rolled some tips and only thing that changed was the low end. Will the mids improve once they have some hours on them?

You've been hating on these Hybrids for pages on end. I guess you are more a neutral and balanced sound kinda guy. I think people who appreciate a more 'fun' sound and don't mind a bit of V-shape will have no qualms with these Hybrids, especially at $20.   Furthermore, the build quality ****s...

This is just ******* hilarious.       Anyway, back on topic. What kind of tips do you guys use with these Xiaomi Hybrids? I've been switching back and forth between the stock tips and some foam tips. Don't really notice much of a difference in terms of the sound.

Seriously, who cares? If they are being sold as Xiaomi Hybrid all over the place why not call them just that. Calling them anything different than the name they are commonly sold as is completely illogical.

Easy Earphone on Aliexpress sells these. http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32517832056.html
