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...
