Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
The newly hyped Tripowin TC-01 (single DD - Silicone + PU coating) seems to fit half the bill hehe, some head-fiers are already swearing by it over Blon offerings and Beryllium Urbanfuns. Easy to drive too they say. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tripowin-tc-01.24878/- Howell29

@Codename john you mean the Beryllium Urbanfun still edges it a bit technicalities wise at least? But for consistent QC's sake and 2 pin connectors let's go- Howell29

Hehe, and compare to your Sony Z1R hahaha I'm really curious on how it compares to legit Beryllium Urbanfun's though. Fiio FD1 is a mixed review- Howell29

They seal like suction cups too haha, also curious on that recently discussed foam mod on silicone tips if it'll provide even better results on flipped tips Paging eartips manufacturers hehe- Howell29

Yah the frustration especially when the tips gets all oily lol, guess I'm lucky that the stock 03 tips when flipped fits right on the 03 & mh750 nozzles after flipping all tips at my home haha Any generic tips that measures the same bore as stock 03 tips? I need a stockpile of these hahahaha- Howell29

Maybe sound waves aren't that choked when tips are wide bore vs common narrow bore ones. An 8kHz EQ 2-3db bump and crisp treble is back. I miss the bass quantity that foam tips provide but at least it's still tight. So you're right on that open-back headphone like sound- Howell29

Not to mention that wide bore tips like the Azla ones are expensive, flipped tips (when you flipped the right one for an IEM) are wallet awesome They sort of give the mids some space for me, maybe better instrument separation? Then that tight bass and less hot upper mids and treble- Howell29

Is the ongoing sound variation of units caused by the 'biofilm' or organic nature of the new Blon-01's drivers? Much like OLED panels are to smartphones vs the consistency of LCDs- Howell29
