    The discovery thread!

    No it's nowhere close to the EA1000 when it comes to bass quality and technical aspects. So no remorse!

    Unfortunately no. Don't have that set.

    The discovery thread!

    Been testing the EA500LM for the past couple of weeks. AND SPOILER ALERT - It is NOT "technically" better than the EA1000. But it's closer to the EA1000 than the EA500. It's smoother than both. Soundstage, imaging, separation, everything is better on the EA1000. For low to medium volume...

    What's your pick for "realism"?

    Wow, so now there's even more variance! So now you will also have to check the nozzle filter too. KZ is starting a IEM lottery scheme - who catches the rarest PR2!

    wait, so both of these are PR2 V2? So they changed the mesh again? A harder mesh will help tame the treble a little more but will lose some bass. At least that's what I have experienced.

    You have iems like M9 and maybe other midfi ones. Where do you place the PR2 in terms of details, soundstage and resolution compared to those? Is it very close or the differences jump at you?

    Sometimes you just gotta do something out of your norm. Have a look at this Cursed EQ - It almost feels like my arms are shaking when the bass hits. The best part? There's no loss of bass quality, or control. It's still fast and accurate. These planars are best drivers for such crazy EQs

    The zobel network used in the ZVX was sensitive to impedance changes. So maybe similar circuit is used here. Is it possible to physically mod a resistor inside the shell to increase the impedance internally?

    I am pretty sure you will get the KZ PR2 V2 Pro Max Ultra

    yes, no original nozzle mesh, they almost broke down. The balancing act is the toughest one. I almost got it right once but then I removed it to try a different density foam. One thing to note - the Red memory foam needs to be close to the driver opening. Otherwise it does not affect the high...

    I Used the normal KZ foam tips, I think i mis-marked the size - it was 5mmx5mm. The foam sheet i used was 5mm thick. I just try to cut cubes from the corner. The foam was thinner than the nozzle so it slipped in easily and I tried to place it by eyeballing it. I carefully made sure not to...
