Hi there, very nice review on the Exclusive 1. I have some questions as to how it stands up with the current market, I've own TFZ Exclusive 1 since 2017 and it's still the only IEM that I own. Recently it seems to be showing its age (particularly due to my fault leaving it in my pocket once and it got washed along with it), there are static noises, it sounds very tiny, but I do notice it in a quiet room, and sometimes the noises goes louder (rarely, still sounds tiny).

So I've been wondering some questions for a replacement, are there any other IEMs at around the same price or (preferably) lower that has the same sound signature as this fella? sound signature wise I'm happy with the Exclusive 1, although I EQ'd the treble a bit. Thank you and sorry for the lengthy comment, I don't seem to be able to find anybody else that has done written review on it.

@Senabuna Unfortunately I gave away the Exclusive 1 ages ago so I don't have it on hand to compare to more modern stuff, though I do still have the Exclusive 3 which if I recall was very similar. I compared that to a few products which I think could be suitable replacements, just keep in mind I've found nothing that can match the crazy sub-bass of the Exclusive Series. The Kinera BD005 Pro, KZ ZS10 Pro, and KZ DQ6 (my pref of the three as it is the least v-shaped and has the most realistic timbre) all follow a similar signature to the Exclusive, but more balanced. Similar bass extension but lower in quantity. Similar mid and lower treble peak locations, just lowered in emphasis.
