Can anybody tell me about the KZ planar IEMs? What is the difference (besides cosmetics) between the PR1 and PR2? I assume the PR1 is "better" since it costs more but what are the differences in how they sound and fit? I really, really like the Monolith M570s I got a while back and I'd love to...

Yep! It's a really nice little device. I thought it was going to be made of plastic or whatever, no, this thing is built to last a while.

This thing is awesome! I got this one used on ebay for $40. It runs Rockbox and the battery is really good. I'm going to end up getting about 15 hours out of the first full charge. It's got enough juice for my planars and way more than enough for any of my IEM's (currently using Moondrop Quarks...

I have been using Monolith M570 to listen to most of my metal collection and I am finding them surprisingly good, especially stuff that is more symphonic and/or psychedelic. Dark Tranquillity's last few albums sound incredible on them. Ditto for Kalmah, Amorphis, Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, Mol...

Grabbed a Monolith Liquid Spark to go with these. I have noticed the more power you feed them, the treble gets smoother and airier and just all-around better.

After a week of listening to these, they are definitely keepers, but whether you like them probably depends greatly on what you're using to power them. They sound fantastic hooked directly into my vintage Yamaha preamp (CX-830). Surprisingly, they also sound really good with two small Rockbox...

I don't know anything about the Sundaras, but these are definitely not light. TBH they're downright heavy. It's not a big issue for me since I do most of my listening in some degree of lying down (couch or recliner, etc) but I wouldn't want to wear them in a situation where I'm solely...

Got my M570s today and they are great! I will definitely need some amplification to take them on longer trips - which is why I bought them in the first place. My little Walkman doesn't have enough juice for them, so the bass is a tiny bit weak and the treble sizzles too much. But the 90s Yamaha...

I was thinking something a little more portable, but first I want to see if my Walkman DAP has enough juice on its own. Might not be necessary.

I just bought an open box pair on Amazon for $120.

So I'm gonna grab a pair of these and a small Chi-fi headphone amp, I need to find something that works with my little Walkman. That thing has a pretty good DAC so I think I can skip buyng one of those for now.

I'm thinking about getting a pair of these, anything I should know. I have some loyalty to the Monolith brand at this point, I have their original turntable which is still great and a pair of the Encore T6 towers which IMO sound like $2000+ true hi-fi speakers. I listen to a little bit of...

This is the setup I keep at work. NWA45 running the awesome Mr. Walkman firmware. I was just about ready to give up on this thing when I discovered the custom firmware. It really does open up the sound on this player and makes it a lot more tweakable. The in-ears are Awei ES800. I bought them...

Using this on my NW-A45 now and I won't go back to the original firmware. I was about to get rid of this thing and find something that ran Rockbox but I think I'll hang on to it now. Am I crazy or does using the high gain output really punch up the sound? It says "not applicable for this...

After playing around with it a little I really do enjoy the tweaks to the sound. I preferred the "playing now" screen from the stock firmware though. I know I probably sound neurotic but it seems like all the text is squished close together and it bugs me a little. I don't suppose there is a way...
