Thanks again, and thank you guys for helping me with my demands. I'll most likely go for the AS10 and tell you guys what I think about it. But I'll also keep an open ear for other iems that could be complementary with that one and cover a wider use and taste to chose from. I wish you all good...

Thanks a lot for the info about balanced cables, that will help me a lot. Edit: I want to purchase the cable on amazon.fr but the only ones i can find are: https://www.amazon.fr/Cuivre-Écouteurs-équilibré-connecteur-0-78pin/dp/B07KHP5B2M ( doesn't seem balanced even though the title says so )...

Thanks for the quick replies! I actually was interested into that iem before setting up on Kz, but it was a little too expensive at the time. It does indeed fit my criteria pretty well, though I like the Kz design more. Doing great with classical is pretty much a bonus, as I said I would...

Hi, so I've been watching this thread for a while, and I want to finally get myself an iem from KZ! It's my first time actually getting higher grade iem than what you get from phones and such, so I want to find the perfect one, suiting my needs and at the same time being a good enough...

Hello, it's been a while. So I've resolved my issue by using a rubber band. It provided a better seal and thus better isolation, and it also did fit a lot better on my head so no real issues anymore. Now I'm getting another issue though, my pads are simply worn out, and I'm looking for new...

Thanks for the answer, well I actually am pretty "hissing" sensitive, but if the upgraded tips and maybe eq'ing can fix that, it would be ok. Also I'm used to listen at low levels when facing that kind of issue, so If I need time to adapt to the sound I should be fine. I hope that the ostry...

Hello, so I'm looking for iems and I've settled on getting the KZ zs6. I'm looking for details, imaging and clarity, it seems to match with these points. At first I intended to get the hf5 from etymotic but they are too expensive. The KZ actually look better to me, and everything else interests...

Well you are supposed to stack it with rubber band on the phone's back. To me it's not troublesome at all, but I understand if it is for you. Maybe that would suit you better...

Maybe you should try this little dac/amp: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/E19-portable-amplifier-USB-SA9226-ES9028Q2M-DSD-DAC-audio-Decoder-Support-DSD-transmission-192K-32BIT/32831061286.html? I'm about to get this for myself, coupled with a cheap smarphone as a mobile setup.

Yeah, I dont need one, all I was saying is that I even with my tight budget, at this price, I could literally buy the 3 at once. Of course I will buy only one, either the E17 or e19. As I said I'm confused with the E19's ports, even though that's the one I want, I'm not sure if I'll be able to...

I found a 64gb version for the note 4X, so i'll be getting this one for sure ( newer model and almost the same price anyway ). I remembered the brand of my actual dac/amp, and looked deeply into their products, it's some sort of independent chinese brand that uses high cost component and sell...

Thank you for you suggestion, but unfortunately the phone you are telling me about is almost 150€ more expensive ( at least in my country ). That's almost twice the price, and you are tellling me that its the "same phone". If that's the price to pay for priority on updates and longer life then I...

I myself plan to get a xiaomi redmi note 4 64 go ( + up to 128 more with micro sd ) that i can buy at around 180€ in my country. I will use it as a dap, just to store my music. It shoud have Bluetooth 4,2 and it has a big battery for extended period of use. It's fairly big though I think.

> Well i cant buy it right now, so I asked son-video's support and they told me they couldnt say for sure that the deal would still be up after another month or two. So I'll buy it whenever i can and get the R2R later, If I miss the deal, I'll get the soon-released fiio Q5 and then the NFB...

Getting the opus#11 looks like the proper choice to make, then followed by the R2R11. I just hope I can buy the opus soon enough, I have a deal right now for 140€ instead of 200€.
