Don't let this distract us from the fact that my local electronics store tried selling me Airpods as "high fidelity audio pods, with advanced drivers", when i went buying for some cables. Some say he is still comparing Airpods gen 1 at my local jbHiFi to Audio64 iems.

Pretty much what I expected with the multitude of users reporting the same thing. I was just bit intrigued by the Blon hype, plus i have too many warm sounding iems. Not like Kz is without its faults, but I was thinking Blon was a DD and BA hybrid not a single DD, so I can already tell it might...

Damn, that's as comprehensive as it gets. Kz it is, I have tons of spare DD iems lying around , I can already hear what it's going to be like, or get an idea. Plus I really wanna try Kz and compare how they've matured in this span of a year or so Thanks for the reply, now the waiting game begins!

Ok I know you addressed the KZ bit which I already touched on a bit myself while ruminating So far, I'm thinking between ZSX and Blon BL03. I've seen people describe the blons being fun or Kz esque in terms of the V Sig, but more mature. Just wanted to see if you yourself have any experience...

Ok lads, Basically back since I have new iem urges again, and I've read a 100 pages already as a bit of home work. Now do i really need another pair of iems ....well no. But do I really want more, just cuz new stuff is out...hell yea :c So what's the new Chi-fi Ki king of the hill iem atm...

Thanks for the reply, I am honestly looking for an upgrade and correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the es4 was good, but not really an upgrade in terms of sound resolution or presentation compared to zs5 v1s I know the Tin2s were pretty good at the sub $50 range, so I'm looking for something...

Hey guys, I've missed quite a few months of head-fi...which is literally the equivalent of a few years worth of posts... Ngl It's that time of the year again, where I have some spare cash to spend, and the last satisfactory kz purchase for me was Zs5 v1, where I skipped the treble heavy Zs6s. I...

Oh kz... You know I love me some audio and all, but I have no clue what to make of those bold statements..... I guess Its another cryptic way of making me buy dozens of iems even though I have enough, and so the cycle continues ..

Ah thanks for the reply, It's a shame, I already ordered the Ate-S a few weeks ago. A quick Google search didn't help I guess, I thought it would be the same drivers Also, I am planning on doing at FF mods, without the brass rings. As far as I remember, it's very tricky trying to allign them...

Not to detract from current conversations but, Does anyone know the key differences between kz Ate, Ate-S and ATR? 2 weeks ago, I ordered the Ate-S, with my intention of doing the FF mods (thanks to guides from coil and slater) Just wondering if there are any drawbacks to trying these mod on...

To all the head-fi.org memebers here, I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a Happy new year It's been my honor to be here and learn so much from the people I have interacted (and not interacted with). It's always a pleasure to wake up, read 5-6 odd pages worth of quirk, knowledge...

Wow dude, I need foamies as well.... I'll pay for shipping! But yea, I bought the cable like 1.5 months ago, there was no Type A back then as far as I know. I wasn't a fan of the original spc cable, and the Zst one looked much nicer, so when I found out ppl were using it, I jumped on it...

@Slater thanks for the reply, I was quite scared of using any means of force on the Zs5, since I couldn't purchase the V1 incase it broke I did bite the bullet and just applied as much force as it needed. It was a bit scary, but it did end up sitting flush Now over all, these cables are so so...

Just got the Zst upgrade cable for my Zs5 And as most suggested, I did cut off the plastic tab to get a nice fit..... But here's the thing, now there's a gap which bothers me I wish I didn't buy them, cuz a week or so after buying these, the Zs5 compatible ones came out (go figures) Now...

Very very interesting, the over all picture i get is: Avoid the first batch of Kz's for 2 reason: 1: Wait it out for an amazing GB deal 2: Mods I dont think i will be picking them up then, i moved on from iems with heavy low end, but i will deff consider it if there is a price drop/deal. I...

Does anyone have an actual proper review of the Es3? I didn't buy it initially, since there wasnt a huge splash but now im interested again after hearing youre thoughts @Cruelhand Luke Can someone do or link one kindly? My take away is: Less bright (yay) and slightly less bass extension, and...

Actually @SomeGuyDude, I was meant to sleep at 2 am... But then I decided to read a few pages of this thread which I missed out After seeing a certain someone, post a certain something (you know who :xf_eek:), I just had to post my findings before I went to bed... And now I'm half asleep...

Actually, I would apologize here, as I misread the comment. It's 3:42 am and I read it as "Dm3 TV"comparing the zs6 (which he hasn't) And yep I'd agree with you and SomeGuyDude, since you have the gear and can test it. Honestly my bad, I'll edit my post to reflect that Have a nice day!

Actually, I'm blind Link: Here's the link anyways, if anyone's interested. But I do apologize for misquoting @maxxevv Thanks again for the amazing input!

Actually, i have never heard the Quads myself, but i have also seen others compare the Quads to Zs6 In my honest opinion, that alone is a huge achievement for a $20 pair of iems. Now, in all honesty its not in my intention to stir controversy, but i have seen the Youtubers "DM3 TV" say he likes...

Ok, i normally avoid being rude or inflammatory, but at this point, lets have a proper discussion. I will try eliminating all bias and objectively dissect any confusions i might have. So you claim there are "so many alternatives that offer way better sound and build quality" for $50? I have...

Hey @George-gearbest , ive been waiting a week+ We have cycled almost every kz iems from zs3-6, es3, zst and still no ATE :( Can we get codes for these: 1: ATE: https://m.gearbest.com/earphones/pp_216375.html 2: S410: https://m.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_1120021.html

Just received my NX3 and I must admit, the build quality does feel superb Very sturdy in the hand and smaller than my Note 5 except width Now I'll charge it a bit and test it out, let's hope I get some nice results

Yep, mid 2015, so it's not new for sure, unless it has new guts which you would possibly love to tear apart Actually makes a lot of sense haha, but I don't remember the dial at all tho Maybe it's possible they made a slight revision with a tuning dial? :shrug: But I do remember hearing...

Actually, very interesting I did do the slater mods, where I poked the bass hole and got rid of the foam near the nozzles. Did you try the foam tips tho? When I said the bass is the "highlight" I mean it's the main prowess or draw of the iem. I honestly wouldn't say the treble was boosted tho...
