Any place to buy these now?

I think I lost my ortofon eq-5. Are these available anywhere now?

Yeah, to me the mids are best of any KZ I have ever tried. The only sore point was the mids in KZ lineup. Bass is already pretty good. And the piercing highs are not an issue with ES4. A pretty composed IEM. Closer to JVC FXT90 but a bit relaxed. I am using wide bore tips. Wide bore tips are...

I can listen to ES14 for extended hours. ED16 sparkle is piercing to me for longer run. ES4's mids are lush and smooth. ED16 sounds thin. ES4 is more fun in the bass range.

T2 you may like. It's a neutral iem. Slightly warm. It's closer to HiFiMan signature. I liked ZSR but not ZS3.

I certainly dont listen to UM Miracle or UM Merlin so often now compared to ES4 :sweat_smile: It is just much more fun to listen to. And I don't listen to classical music anymore (except Pachelbel's canon in D)

TRN V20 is too boomy with less definition in bass. ES4 has awesome mids. I havent listened to unbanfun hifi. There is something about the housings that put me off from buying it everytime.

I just listened to Dreamer - Sako Isoyan. I just cannot bear ZS10, it has got this too spaced out feeling for the bass in a gigantic soundstage, along with the tiny mids, it drives me mad. ES4 is much better and natural, fun too. ZS10 is strange. I am using the same tips for both to avoid any...

10/10 for the expert doodles.

Ordered ZS ED16. Going through KZ thread, I see my views are pretty consistent with the views there. Relaxed iem with good sub bass extension. Mid bass hump but doesn't bleed much into mids. Lush mids. Not ear piercing highs. Just the same recommendation for eartip, wide bore eartip (I am...

I will order one to see if it's better than ES4 for my sound preference. I

T2 indeed reminds me of HiFiMan RE lineup. It is technically better but often can be called as boring iem. I do prefer musical and fun sounding signature now. ZS10 is definitely different in sound signature compare to Tinaudio T2. Not as nuanced as T2. I ordered 2 more ES4 because it sounds...

I find ES4 to be relaxed and good for longer listening sessions. I also like the thick midrange which was one of the sore point in KZ series (I havent tried ZS6 or ZS5). How is the bass response in ED16? And the midrange?

I did not get this because of some reviewers saying these can be quite sibilant and for some part piercings highs.

Right now I like good warmth and controlled bass with good texture. My preference veer towards better sub bass body, a bit of mid bass spike is ok too. Mids should be lush and rich. Highs should not be too ear piercing. Mid bass bleed into midrange should be minimal. Overall the iem should be...

I just love these iems. It's like a successor to ZSR and ES3 without the drawbacks of either of those. I like ES4 more than ZS10 even though ZS10 has larger soundstage and technically more nuanced.

Both are pretty different. T2 is neutral iem. V20 is more warm. Technically T2 is closer to source. T2 is easier to fit too, V20 is a bit tricky. Personally I don't prefer either. T2's highs are brighter than what I like. V20 sounds too warm to me. Bass texture is not as good.

ZS10 is more clean and the soundstage is wider. Better imaging and separation. But not so comfortable for longer listening because of huge size. ES4 is upgrade over ES3. Bass is more compared to ZS10. Mids are more smooth. These fit well compared to ZS10. I can see these as daily iems, close to...

Finally, received TRN V20 and KZ ZS10. Still trying to find best fit :grimacing:

So it looks like my observations about Rock Zircons are pretty spot on with the review on aproear.co.uk http://www.aproear.co.uk/rock-zircon/ Rock Zircon—a strange unnatural sound with exaggerated, pounding bass, thin (though clear) treble and no midrange whatsoever. Lots of folks seem to love...

Yeah, no way near 5. 3.5 looks good. Tips are nice. Craftsmanship is good too. But the sound is not up to the others in same bracket.

KZ ZS10 seems to be getting good reviews. Still waiting for mine. Update on MEMT X5 and FXT90. My fiance received her MEMT X5. She likes the sound signature of FXT90. So that's pretty much how I perceive. FXT90 has better soundstage and it's a more composed iem overall. However, she finds MEMT...

I have both, Miracle and Merlin. I almost always prefer Merlin over Miracle. The bass in Merlin is much better to me.

Rock Zircon arrived. Comparing with MEMT X5, the bass is a little loose on decay. And mids sound compressed, not sure why is it so? I will give some more time to burn-in. Overall, MEMT X5 are more controlled and precise with good enough bass presence. My preference so far KZ ZSR = FXT90 > MEMT...

Exactly my observations. Fun, detailed (although highs can feel artificial sometimes), warm, soundstage is better, and the sub bass is really well done. I just hope ZS10 will be similar and a bit more than ZSR.
