I can't speak to the castor, which I haven't tried. Because of the treble you might like the Clear better than the JD7, but I wouldn't call it more open at all.

I have both the JD7 and Clear, but I'm not one who writes eloquently about sound differences. I was comparing them because I really should reduce my IEM count, but I love both of them. Subjectively, I find the Clear has both more prominent mid-bass and more treble energy. JD7 is a bit more even...

You guys keep saying things like this and it makes me want to pull the trigger. They're a measly $36 on Amazon in the US with next day delivery. But I have the Quintet coming in the next couple days, still love my Fiio JD7, and am already a big fan of the Clear for the sub $50 market. Why would...

SiE is also double the price. Fair to compare DDs I suppose, but not exactly the same category.

I don't see any problem with my Clears yet (just arrived yesterday). I'm actually quite surprised at the treble clarity without going into harshness territory for me. Yes, they are bassy but not the bass monsters I expected. For me they actually have a pretty versatile sound signature that works...

Good communication; recommended buyer!

Good communication, great buyer, no problems at all.

Well, I like the FW3 sound, but my left bud doesn't seem to charge past 75%. I wonder what a return to China will cost me. :slight_frown:

The OG Penon Fan. This is a fun single DD iem with a slight V sound. Includes the cable, box, pouch and eartips. Includes paypal fees and shipping in the US.

This is the Kiwiears Quartet 2DD+2BA hybrid iem. Comes with original box, cable, case and eartips. Includes paypal fees and shipping in the US.

The Juzear 41T is a great 1DD+4BA hybrid IEM. Comes with the best cable I've every gotten with a set of IEMs, a nice carrying case, and extra eartips.

The KZ x HBB PR2, with box, cable and extra tips. This is the version with the mesh, if that matter to you. Includes shipping and Paypal fees to the US.

The KZ PR1 Pro, with the box, cable, and some extra tips. I barely used this, or the PR2 which I'm also selling. Price includes shipping and Paypal fees in the US.

With some long plane flights in my future, I'm very curious how the AZ80 and 3ANC compare for ANC. I'm guessing Bose and Sony are still the kings in this area, but wondering if either of these comes close?

Nope, that's why it says Sold in the header. :)

I had both and sold the Hexa, but it does sound flatter. To me that came across as more boring and it gave me nothing the Jd7 didn't. The Jd7 does emphasize the bass some as genesis said. But I don't feel like the mids are behind and the treble never sounds overemphasized to me. The comfort is...

I'm liking the quartet quite a bit in the down-up configuration, although it's slotted in a very crowded range of similarly priced IEMs that I own and also like. Something needs to go on the chopping block, but I haven't spent enough time yet to know if it can displace any of the others.

Amen to that! But I used to buy the cheap flavor-of-the-day, then instantly look for something better. Lately things have been so good that I have too many good choices. The Fiio JD7, Juzear 41T, and Penon Fan all work really well for me. I don't need anything fancier. Nevertheless, the Quartet...

Fun, isn't it? I had an order with 5 different items that went missing after it reached the country. The Chinese service says they handed it over to the USPS; the USPS says they never got it. Ali's "dispute" process just kept telling me to go pick it up at my post office. Fortunately it took my...

Nope. I've had planar headphones, but these are my only two planar iems.

Yes, it's definitely better. There's still a touch of harshness, at least not burned in like it is, but it's improved for sure.

Well, I skew older and prefer the PR2. I haven't watched the demo, but my PR2 arrived today and I've been comparing them. (Granted, only with about an hour of burn-in for the PR2.) I also can't stand foam tips and have been using Clarion Tri on both. The PR1 Pro did come with a better cable...

My PR2 is arriving today, mostly because I jumped the gun and ordered it before that AE coupon deal (overpaid by $7 😭). I'm anxious to compare it to the PR1 Pro.

My order from 4/25 shipped right away and reached the USPS yesterday. But that was from KZ's direct store, which was not as good of a discount as the AliE one.

TRI Clarion will fit. That's what I have on mine right now.
