The discovery thread!
I finally finished my ranking system, and have ranked several of the new KZs, the Tangzu Wan'er SG, and the AirPods Pro 2. I will add more earbuds and maybe headphones to this ranking over time. The scores are out of a maximum possible 108 points. As you can see, I focused mainly on my favorite...- jbfps116

Idk maybe I haven’t listened to them enough but I feel they are very inoffensive. I like more exciting sounding-earbuds and the original EDX sound better to me but the pro X certainly are more balanced I feel.- jbfps116

Top panel: 0111, side panel, 0011 this should boost only bass and high treble.- jbfps116

I generally agree with this but the Symphony is one of their best designs ever, and the AS24 is pretty as well.- jbfps116

I’ll watch this in the morning but who cares how they engineered it… if they really made a single DD sound that good that it competes and even surpasses my multi-driver IEMs on some tracks, I’m all for it. You gotta find the right EQ though. The app sound test boosted the vocal range for me and...- jbfps116

Don’t know about the standard version but with switches I needed a more V-shaped option to balance out the gallons of smooth midrange it has: all bass and high treble switches UP!- jbfps116

Just when I felt I didn’t need any more KZ, I got the D-FI for 7$ and the ZVX for 4.50 on AliExpress. I’m going to compare them to the old EDX. Lit the battle of the single DD begin! Although I’m sure none of them can rival my AirPods Pro 2.- jbfps116

Finished my 35-track scoring system for the Symphony, AS24, ZS10 PRO 2, ZS6, EDX, and Airpods Pro 2. I'll find a way to publish my results here, but I will say that the ZS10 PRO 2 would have finished on top if it weren't for some heavy sibilance on a few songs, whereas the AS24 was smooth and...- jbfps116

yea the more I'm listening to it, the more I dislike the thin vocals, and the bass sometimes overpowers the mids, especially when using the AZ20 Bluetooth adaptor.- jbfps116

I really don't know... I don't use them for workouts ... I have the AZ20 and they seem very well-built though.- jbfps116

they look so good I want them just for the art. They'd better sound dang better than the wan'er though because I find those only a bit above average.- jbfps116

yea I was initially enamored with the Symphony because it was my first time hearing a planar driver... and the bass is crazy, but pitting it against the zs10 pro 2 it doesn't hold a candle to my ears... the bass of the Symphony is too much for some songs, and the vocals can feel oddly thin or...- jbfps116

Just an FYI, the ZS10 pro 2 shipped with foams installed, and large and small white starlines. No medium silicone tips :( bad move KZ! Good thing I had some Spinfit W1 tips.- jbfps116

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
KZ Symphony. Those things have legit subwoofers in them. I don’t listen to metal but I tried a few tracks with them and they sound mindblowing compared to other earbuds. (Use one of the AZ Bluetooth adaptors from KZ and triple click the left earbud for full power mode. Ample power for the...- jbfps116

OMG got in some Azla Sedna earfit max tips for my AirPods Pro 2 and the sound quality is so much better and they’re more comfortable too. Bass really improved. My jaw was on the floor during Ashes by Celine Dion…- jbfps116

Looking at the AST, I wonder if I should have bought that instead of the AS24... what's the difference though? does the 24 use the old BAs and the AST use the new ones? also the claimed FR on the AST is wider (10-40k)- jbfps116

Reply to review by 'jbfps116' on item 'Apple Airpods Pro 2'
my main gripe is they feel scratchy in my ear. Now I read you shouldn't push them in as far as they go, and that helps a little... was looking at silicone skins on Amazon, but people said they are cheap and break easily... ordered some high-end tips though and will see if they help.- jbfps116

I have all the bass switches up and the treble down [so not reduced] and they sound great...but still not quite enough sub bass for me. The ZS6 is better in that department, and indeed, they claim a frequency response of 7-40,000 but i'm a tad skeptical of that haha. EDIT: There is enough bass...- jbfps116

I got the Wan'er mostly because of how great it looks... It sounds alright but the mids aren't really to my liking and the bass is a bit weak at times. I use it at work though...- jbfps116
