Hey CoiL long time no see! I Will certainly give those a try as well, already waiting some comply tips and those treble filtering from OSTRY. Next wave will be Spinfits and those, for sure. Oh man I was absent from chi-fi for some months and I returned really hungry.

Brain burn in or not I find the treble manageable at last. ZS5 are good. Waiting for my cables and ZS6!

Oh no, QC issues again it seems. Crossed fingers that my ZS6 is good, I was really hyped that it would be my top currently owned IEM. So far Hybrid urbanfuns take the spot. On another note, I am kinda getting used to my ZS5 but! Cymbals still pierce my brain and sometimes vocals sound...

Just received my ZS5, I am 99.99% it's the V2 version but I will try to get a photo of it as well. Treble NUKES. Cymbals can make a hole through your brain. Oh well, equalizing all the way. Other than that impressive soundstage and you can say it's ""detailed"", it's only natural when you amp...

Seems like I completely wasted some money then. My ZS6 have been shipped and I am reaaaaally treble sensitive(Though not even one KZ iem has been sibilant to me). Oh well, maybe it will go well with a certain genre or else I am going to equalize the crap out of it.

All this stuff about ZS5 being harsh made me regret my purschase already, I ordered ZS6 as well at 25$ from gearbest a couple of days ago. I hope they indeed crossover this time and make it something special.

It seems this thread has a lot of new people! Nice! I am back after some months of "life", I just ordered a bluetooth module and ZS5 from gearbest, threw in a ZSE as well. So in a nutshell ZS5 is the best KZ atm even if it's real that it only uses 2 out of 4 drivers?

Just received ISK MDH 8500: I can ALREADY say it has slightly less sub bass and mid bass than takstar pro 80s (As I recall from memory, I will do A-B tests when I visit my friend who owns them). I also feel like these are a tiny bit brighter or it's the different source playing tricks, IMO it...

Colorful ZST just arrived, with a broken silver cable, contacted seller immediately..   Early impressions: Nice fast sub bass, mids are there, highs have a weird spike which CAN become annoying, W-Shaped sound. It's a good IEM, but nothing really extraordinary, it fails to differentiate...

2DD+2BA Under 30$? I also like the design, kinda. Damn KZ will sell those like hotcakes, fingers crossed for something decent!

Hi, I know I shouldn't be asking here but does anyone have a recommendation around 20-25$, ordered ZST coming and I want something else with similar sound signature to ATR/ATE(forward mids, easy to listen for long periods) but a bit more analytical, always with no harsh treble as I am sensitive...

Cheers, no problem, the detachable cable was the selling point for me I also got a good deal IMO at 39 euros(took the risk with no retail package, seller seemed good), the seller increased the price though. Now waiting...

All these costed me about 1/6th of my monthly payment, I got a 4k TV as well this month so yeah I am really tight at this point.

Just pulled the trigger on ZST with silver cable, as well some Takstar pro 80 rebrand/clone, got a fiio K1 aaas well. I will live by eating instant noodles for a couple of weeks but it was worth it.

PRO 82s seem really nice, they remind me of m70x, I wonder if these will be sub100$.

Well, I pulled he trigger on MDH8500. I hope it's decent, on the aliexpress reviews an automatically translated review says it's identical to Pro 80s but a bit darker or vice versa, I think that's the effect of the bigger earpads though. Instead of getting HyperX Cloud II for 80$ I got the...

Hi, new to this thread usually lurking in IEM threads(KZ, Chinese Cheap-fi) I recently listened to HyperX Cloud II and it got me interested, I saw ISK MDH8500 some pages ago and people say it's a rebrand with detachable cable and bigger earpads, can someone confirm this?  I like the brown color...

Waiting with crossed fingers!

I am trying to find a smooth analytical iem to step up from ATR, I have a lot of treble cannons which are really well perceived by most people but I am not really into this signature, anyone has a recommendation?   I don't plan to buy it immediately so my budget can go up to 90$(Euros actually).

Bummer, If I would ever buy ZST's would be the black version, if the colourful is indeed tuned better...welp, 1st world problems xD.

FINALLY! Gonna post my impressions soon.   EDIT: 3 mins in and I am already laughing at the no sub bass statements I read quite some time ago, well.....   EDIT 2: There is no point on saying the same things again, my opinion on those are the same as @CoiL (As I expected) except CoiL is a...

The "secret" to a healthy conversation is to stay subjective, once you shout personal views as the absolute right you instantly lose any respect you may have and you sound like a total idiot(except if your target audience has an undeveloped character, quite common), I am a low post count user as...

No, I am not from Malaysia, but they sent me the parcel through Malaysia post and usually parcels are way too late when coming to Greece, I see it's a hit or miss though.     I am pretty sure you have already mentioned this but can you tell me the code of the 5th gen ATE, I am on a search...

And... I am still waiting for my ATRs, the parcel is probably stuck at the airport. Malaysia post sucks, at least for me.   I am really eager to try ATR after all that controversy, though I am pretty sure most hate comments are made with the mindset of "This ain't what I like so it's trash"...

Well I had the same impressions with ATE as well(Dark signature, not "fun" initially) especially after comparing it with the legendary Budget-FI Sony MH1, details on ATE were not as prominent as they were on MH1, Needless to say  I was disappointed initially.   But after some days of listening...
