After spending a couple days with the **** Pro I think I'm going back to the original **** as my daily driver. The Pro is going to be the better pair for a vast majority of music but the better sub bass extension, separation, and imaging of the original plus the lack of any sibilance makes it...

I don't have the t2 to compare but I do have the t3 and I'd describe the **** Pro as being a similar signature in the mids and highs but much warmer bass.

Quick first impressions of the **** Pro... Cable is the same, tips are VASTLY better, fit is a little better as I'm able to wear these tip down as designed. Timbre didn't bother me on the ****, but I think those who complained about timbre before will be pleased. What's not so great is the fact...

**** Pro arrives today assuming no postal service fails. Can't wait to see how it compares to the original!

What tips are you using with your T3? Every tip I've tried has extremely rolled off subbass.

My experience is the exact opposite. I find the **** more refined, especially comparing treble.

When did it become bad to dislike a particular IEM? That's the attitude that leads to every new release being over hyped and nothing good comes from that. I find the **** to be astounding, especially for the tiny price, but it's OK if some don't agree.

Where'd you get them? Those look awesome!

Since you had difficulty with the fit it's possible you didn't have a good seal. That being said, initially mine sounded a bit off like you're describing. Tip rolling\burn in, either real or brain, fixed it. I have to wear them cable up to be comfortable.

Haven't heard the ZS7 but the CCA C10 gets rather congested sounding with metal IMO. I'd recommend the **** though it's isolation is basically non existent with the semi open back.

Strangely mine fit comfortably not switching earpieces. I'm convinced I have the strangest shaped ears on Head-fi.

Try wearing them cable up. Cable down the metal body cuts into my ears too but cable up fixed it.

My **** review... The simple and quick version is these are amazing and you should buy them immediately. I've had what is probably a fairly typical experience with chi-fi. First I was blown away that I had so many options with multiple drivers and detachable cables and all kinds of things that...

How does the Moondrop Crescent compare to the ****?

Does burn in smooth out the treble on the T3? Finally received my Massdrop order yesterday and was surprised to find KZ ZS5 v2 levels of sibilance. On the plus side, the cable made a very nice upgrade on the **** that currently blows the T3 away as far as my ears hear anyway.

Received my pair of **** today. Prelim thoughts after a quick 10 minute listen are they're definitely power hungry, those red tips are dumb, and every bass head should buy them immediately. Not sure about the mids or highs yet, they sounded a bit dry out of the box, but we'll see what happens...

While I'm not a huge fan of them, the CCA C10 is the best answer in your price range with what you're looking for.

It's $20 for a new type of speaker and the graphs are flat from bass through mids. No idea if I'll like it but those were the reasons I ordered one. I figure that's a small price to pay for new technology and maybe it'll be good too.

Glad to see the ZSA getting some love. If it were up to me every IEM would copy that shell design because it's so comfortable. How does the ZS7 compare to the C10?

BQEYZ and TFZ were both high on my list to try. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend anything that has similar bass and mids as the TRN V80 without the sibilant treble or silicon tips that help with sibilance? Foam tips help the sibilance but I don't like what they do to the mids.

What did taping the rear vents do for the sound?

I don't have the equipment to measure it but bass quantity is less on the c10, mids are more even on the c10 and don't have the weird "honkyness" in the upper mids that the zs10 has. Treble is similarly detailed in both but less laid back on the c10.

Received the c10 last week and while I'm sure it needs more break in, here's my initial comparison to my current DD, the ZSA. First, at least for my apparently weird shaped ears, the ZSA is vastly more comfortable. The very bottom part of the c10 creates a hot spot on my ear so an hour is the...

The ZS10 is significantly less bright than the ZS6 or V80.
