Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread
Spent way too much time fixing the problem in various ways and when all failed, contacted the seller and they asked me to send the pair back to them from US to China and pay the postage myself. Just didn't want to waste time dealing with this.- SWLIU

What a coincidence! I has been doing exactly the same thing, listening to Generationwhy with Auglamour RX-1, for the whole day. Really enjoyed both.- SWLIU

Xiaomi Capsule Review by mark2410
I have the capsule for 3 weeks now, and I gave up from the beginning the idea of inserting them deep into my ears to get a good seal. Instead, I just let them sit loosely in my ears with minimal insertion. Yes, I won't get lots of bass wearing them this way, just enough, but I actually enjoy the...- SWLIU

Xiaomi Hybrid IEM Thread (Piston successor)
I was not impressed by the Xiaomi Hybrid, even after owning them for weeks. But today I decided to EQ away that 8khz valley (normally I am against EQ) and it is day and night difference. Clear and full of details. Now I can finally enjoy using them.- SWLIU

I don't think you can wear them cable-down style because of the memory wire. Cable-up and around the ear is the only way. The large housing and the position of the nozzles don't make them very comfortable to wear if you have smaller ears. The memory wire does have one advantage, i.e., making...- SWLIU

Just received my zs1, 7 days from when I ordered from amazon and shipped to California. Bass is not lacking as long as I push the nozzles deeper into my ears. I like the sound better than zn1's passive mode, which I returned because of the amp design and channel reversal. The channels on my...- SWLIU

Just received my HDS1 exactly one month after I ordered it (without expedited shipping). Its sound is similar to ED9 but microphonics is much worse. Have to wear them cable-up.- SWLIU

The discovery thread!
Thanks to BloodyPenguin, I ordered PURO IEM500 from the ebaylink and received yesterday. Initial impressions are: accurate and detailed sound, deep reaching bass, very comfortable fit despite the shape. I enjoy it as much as my BETTE 10mm (less comfortable fit, tho) and Titan 1. Also like the...- SWLIU

Just found out the left and right earpieces are switched. Also it does not work with Monoprice DAC/Amp or Fiio X1, too much statics to even hear the music. It does work with my smart phone, however, it is very sensitive to the plug contact and little wiggle sends lound popping sound to my ears...- SWLIU

I ordered from Amazon for $49 so it was not cheap, but I was curious about the new design so for that I am OK to spend the money to support KZ's effort. As for the purpose of listening to music, I probably would spend that money for something like Soundmagic E80, instead.- SWLIU

Just received the KZ ZN1 in California, It is like ATE on steroid, and a bit clumsy to use because of the extra weight from the "EQBOX". The passive mode does not work from my MOTO X phone. And it just does not work at all with the Monoprice DAC/Amp. Weird. BTW, according to the manual, KZ uses...- SWLIU

Dunu TITAN Series (new for 2019: Titan 6) [Page 196]
It is comfortable wearing Titan 1 while lying on your side in bed. However, if you fall asleep, that will be rolling in bed with $100 earphones and risk breaking the wire. I will suggest something like KZ ED10 ($10) for this case.- SWLIU

I own the BETTE 10mm hybrid blue/black version (from amazon) and enjoy them very much. They sound as good as Titan 1 with a bit more left/right separation. Thanks to BloodyPenguin, I will have the wood version tonight when I get home from work. Can't wait to compare the two versions.- SWLIU
