Don't be frustrated. You are in a good place. If you like something, just enjoy it. That's what this hobby should be about.

Thank you for the reply. I have some CP-145's laying around. I'll give them a try.

So, I've had these for a few days now. I burned them in for 24 hours, then started listening. Not feeling the love. It may be the tips, but I've had a hard time changing them to my go-to's of KZ Starline or Sony Hybrids. These nozzles seem to be wide. Has anyone else had luck with different...

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. I have had mine for a couple of weeks now, and they have become my daily driver. I read many of the opinions posted here before mine arrived, so I was ready with wide bore tips to offset the much maligned overabundance of bass. I didn't have that...

I'm hoping to get green. I ordered when the original (blue) was available. After a few days, I got a message saying they were out of blue, but they had wood, green or red. I wrote back saying send the wood. The next message was that they were out of wood and they only had red or "grab bag"...

I have this cable. Bought it originally for the BL03 as I couldn't get a fit at all with the stock cable. I had a similar, thought not as extreme problem with the BL01. I could not maintain a seal on my left ear with the original cable--the "springiness" kept pulling it out slightly. This...

I am a relative new-comer to earbuds, but I have about 10 sets. Nothing real expensive. What I find is that there doesn't seem to be a really significant difference in earbuds as compared to the "all over the map difference" in iem's. I am in the $5 to $50 range, but from your post, I think...

Looks like the fitment is hit or miss with these. Unfortunately, it's a miss for me. None of the included tips allowed a seal for me. So far, the best I can do is Large Starlines--I usually use Medium, but had to step up to large due to shallow fit. I think it has to do with how the long...

This sounds like a great idea. I also bought them on 11/11, but I don't expect delivery here in the U.S. for at least a couple of weeks. I would love to see what they look like and get other's impressions before mine arrive. As of today, these iem's are still being sold as a "grab bag"...

Great job. I look forward to reading your review and comparisons. :blush:

It should have been "buy it"

Hey, it's 10 dollars. But it and find out if it works for you.

I am having the exact same problem as above, including the error detection message. I tried Rockboxing as well. No luck. Maybe we are all missing something, but I think I followed all instructions correctly.

I've had my North Stars for about a week, and I would pretty much agree with the above. Mids are overdone, to the point of vocals sounding strident or grainy. I think mid-bass is overdone as well. The thing I was really looking for was the "holographic effect" in the sound stage that others...

I saw a T Shirt with the following: I am an Engineer I try to make things Idiot Proof But they keep making better idiots!

Thank you for your help. I could only fine ipod or jbud wings, which looked too small. These look like they will fit. I ordered. Thanks again.

I apologize in advance for this being slightly off topic, but I'm looking for the little wings or fins that help keep ear buds situated in the ear. I got a couple of them when I bought the Monk Plus accessory pack, and they really help. Now that I have the Vido and the DIY EMX 500 on order...

Trumpethead--I have ot thank you for the advice regarding the LZ A03. I too had never been happy with the lack of bass. I "shoved" the tip down as far as I could, and voila! The bass came out to play! Amazing. Thanks again.

before you invest in foamies, just try one size larger on the silicone tips. I usually wear medium tips, but went to large tips with these. It seems to provide a better seal. The bass on these is not bass head level, but it is enough, imho, to provide a foundation for the presentation.

Just chiming in with my ZST experience.  Several pages back, someone described them as "dark".  OOTB, I agreed with that assessment.  Bass was a bit much and treble was very weak.  After butn-in, it seemed that the bass settled in, but is still certainly above neutral.  Even after 50 hours of...

I have the BK35.  Please don't give up on them.  Put them back on burn-in for at least another 60 hours.  The bass will continue to tame.  The mids will no longer be drowned by mid-bass.   

I'd imagine it won't be long before there is a "new" brand with a model that looks surprisingly like the model that cannot be discussed.
