    I lucked out and ordered them before new year. But recent purchase of a USB cable got clapped with 20% tax. Will make getting things from AliExpress a little less viable for sure :(

    That sounds perfect. Never really minded the KZ signature treble but taking a little edge of it will be ideal. I predominantly listen to Drum and Bass and they do give a really nice deep rumble without making things sound muddy. Very nice separation with bass having it's own layer in contrast...

    My DQ6 arrived today :) So far really liking them. Just as @Aparker2005 said, easily one of the best fitting KZs I've tried. Included photos of ZS5, ZSN and DQ6 side by side for reference. I was worried the part that sticks out on DQ6 would be uncomfortable but it's actually the opposite it...

    Ordered the DQ6s. Figured it's time to try something else than my ZSNs.

    Will be good to hear what you think of them. I doubt you'll be disappointed :)

    The discovery thread!

    Yeah I've been daily driving Fidelio X2s for aprox. 4 years. I haven't directly compared them to each other yet but I'd say they do sound quite similar. Soundstage is comparable, both can pack a fair amount of bass, separation is solid and the treble is crystal clear but not too sharp. Will try...

    The discovery thread!

    The OPENHEART OH2000 (On-Ear headphones) finally got here yesterday. Initial impressions are very good. All metal build; inner headband, gimbals, rod blocks, cups, driver grill, etc. Feel really solid. The headband has some padding which is really soft and comfortable. Comes with a set of...

    The discovery thread!

    Saw someone mentioning OPENHEART in another thread and got curious and ordered the OPENHEART OH2000 (On-Ear headphones). Friend ordered one of the earbuds. We'll see if they sound as decent as they look. Hopefully it was worth the shot for the price.

    Yeah it sounds like all other frequencies are not playing. Kinda like hearing your neighbors music through a wall. You will know right away if something is wrong.

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Possibly. There is no way to tell. I bought mine from the official KZ store and now they have removed the old listing and replaced it with an identical one. Likely because most reviews mentioned the fault with the first revision. To be sure I would recommend getting it from KZ directly since...

    Date label is on the new one. No date label on the first one I got.

    I think I know what you mean and yes there is but it's extremely faint. You need to really listen out for it. Playing music with the adapter volume maxed and at the lowest setting on my phone makes the music whisper quiet and I can only just hear the noise between the song. Anything higher at a...

    The replacement for my KZ APTX HD Bluetooth 5.0 cable arrived and it's fixed :raised_hands: (Previous post with pictures) Initial impressions using ZSNs comparing between the old and new adapter (around 30 mins of back and forth listening): The cable has a little more give than the previous...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Got the new KZ Bluetooth 5.0 APT-X HD adapter and as KZ warned me they are broken. Seems to only play bass and doesn't play as loud as they clearly can judging by the announcer voice. Also there are a few quirks like when you power it on she says "Turn Off". Key changes/similarities between this...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    Yeah I'll definitely see if I lucked out and the one I get is fine. If not I'll ask them for a replacement or a refund and reorder since I paid £5 more than the price it's at now. I'll at least get you all some visual comparison to the previous 4.2 model since I own one.

    I have one on the way and it cleared customs in my country so I should have it soon. I also got this message from KZ (I ordered directly from them) so at least they are admitting to potential issues.

    I've ordered the new Bluetooth 5.0 cable yesterday and it shipped overnight. Will post a comparison with the previous model since I have that one currently. Although I had nothing against the sound and physical quality of the previous model the connection is weak. Sometimes it cuts out with my...

    Looks like a new KZ with a ZSN-like shell and connector is on the way. Found this on the KZ's AliExpress store:

    My current portable setup :D Pink/Purple combo is really growing on me this year. Switched to ZSN from my trusty ZS5 v1 and so far really enjoying it. Always surprised at what KZ can squeeze into these IEMs for the dirt cheap price. Phone: Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 6/64gb Twilight Gold Earphones: KZ...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    First impressions I'd say that the soundstage got a little larger. The bass seems more punchy and deep compared to stock pads and it isn't absorbed by the pads as much at very very high volume so I get to feel it on the pads. I use my X2s with the Sabaj DA2 (same as the SMSL IDEA) which seemed...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    So after owning my X2s for about 2.5 years I've finally decided to look for some replacement pads. Obviously there are no options unless you can find the original for some dumb price. AliExpress to the rescue! I've ordered THESE angled faux leather pads supposedly made to work with HM5s and they...

    SMSL iDEA portable dac+amp

    I've literally listened to the ZS5s on the Da2 for like 10 mins so I'll need some more time with them. Kinda sucks since I'm used to having my ZS5s go through VIPER4Android FX and it doesn't seem to work on the Da2. I have the v1s as well; using medium SpinFit tips. Give me a couple of days...

    SMSL iDEA portable dac+amp

    The only issue I had with it is that if I try to use VIPER4Android FX, the USB/Dock options seemed to have no effect on the Sabaj. Not sure if I have the latest version of VIPER4Android FX so might be something to do with that. Also I'm on a custom ROM (Cypher OS; currently on a beta until they...
