    Reply to review by 'candycane' on item 'Knowledge Zenith ES3'

    Interesting! I wonder how they compare to the more recent ZST X release, which has all the attributes you listed in this review, except for a bit more treble and boosted sub-bass (just how I like it.) I've been really itching to get that good ole ZST X depth and layering I love so much without...

    Looking for an upgrade to my current ZST X's

    I received them about two weeks ago and I have to say, I love the width and the tonality and the bass texture!!! I do really find myself missing the depth and layering of the ZST X as that was maybe my favorite part about them (just shy of holographic, all it needed was a bit more width and...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Never of the same caliber as chi-fi IEMs. I've only ever had closed-back and the technicalities were never that good. More "budget standard" than HiFi. But I'd love to hear what they sound like, although over-ears make my ears feel hot and so they're not as comfortable.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I'm a newbie to the hifi world... These days, can earbuds be just as good or better than the chi-fi budget IEMs?? I was considering getting buds for my next purchase but only if it's worth it. I'm in love with the technical abilities of Chi-fi IEMs and I'm on the hunt for a holographic...

    Looking for an upgrade to my current ZST X's

    Oh, mb. I thought you meant DQ6's, not DQ6S. I ordered the regular DQ6, not the DQ6S (I swear, they need to come up with less confusing names for this stuff.) And based off of what I've seen, I think the treble may be rolled off too much for my liking on those (plus they were 5 extra bucks on...

    Looking for an upgrade to my current ZST X's

    Thanks! I did order them yesterday. Though it will probably take a few weeks to arrive considering it's coming from Linsoul (China.) I'm looking forward to breaking them in. Also the KZs usually have a lower impedance and I shouldn't need a DAC with them, but I am curious if getting one sometime...

    Looking for an upgrade to my current ZST X's

    Update: after careful deliberation, I've ordered the KZ DQ6 because it seems to be less bloaty, fuller mids & less fatiguing highs with good technical ability, based off of what I have read. I also got some foam tips to go with them as I've heard it can be quite sibilant at a certain frequency...

    Looking for an upgrade to my current ZST X's

    Thanks. It looks promising, but I am concerned at how people say the treble isn't enough. Treble is important to me as I like to hear the micro-details and the crash of cymbals, but I'll take it into consideration! I'm mostly looking into the KZ brand so far as most of their products have a...

    Looking for an upgrade to my current ZST X's

    Hello, I'm new to the IEM world (and the audiophile world in general) and I love my current (also my first) IEMs, the ZST X's. There's so much I like about these, the V shape is really pronounced, bass strong, punchy and rumbly, treble clear, detailed and shimmery, soundstaging is good, but I'm...
