Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
I'd call the tuning of PR1 Pro a bit more "boring", flat vs. the PR1 Hifi Edition (psychoacustically, when listening and experiencing the music) PR1 Hifi has that certain something which makes listening pretty much exciting. I wonder if others "feel" the same. Music ultimately is there to...- zachmal

KZ ZAX has pretty polite bass after extensive burn-in, in the beginning it had typical v-based tuning and bass was quite emphasized - but after some point the bass mostly went away and it turned out more to be neutral and polite, not too much bass. So in that regard every review that...- zachmal

could be that the Harman Target just does well with the music you're listening to - and you're fine with the tuning. For me particularly the bass emphasis can be really a tad bit too much at times and uncomfortable. If it's around 50 - I wouldn't really consider it Harman Target or similar to...- zachmal

KZ PR1 Hifi sound particularly nice with triple-flange (very) long eartips - sibilance and artifact exposure in bad quality material seems to be reduced to a minimum and isolation and bass, quality of sound is pretty decent. Insertion is quite deep though and requires some fidgeting before it...- zachmal

you think the Shangri-La would be a good IEM at around 180-190 bucks ? not sure if it'll work out but I assume, I could get it at that price *knock on wood* I don't particularly like (or dislike) harman tuning or AutoEQ-ed setting - but it also not too bad and KXXS tuning is supposed to be...- zachmal

>Agreed. The planar IEMs bring very fast decay and rapid transients to the table, compared to single DDs. Generally, these planar IEMs have better technicalities than comparatively priced single DDs, but this rapid decay makes timbre sound a bit unnatural. Bass from planar IEMs also sounds a bit...- zachmal

headphones are at least less claustrophic - there's more space, especially with open back headphones. Planar headphones are different creatures - they additionally need (not necessarily) good amping to really shine (e.g. the HE400SE). From what I got the slew rate or acceleration rate -...- zachmal
