if you want something much better at the same price, get the Boarseman KR25-D. And if you want an $80 earphone for $22 (eBay), get the decent Sony MH1C.

Actually, i have the boarseman kr-25d, because you recommended them to me in audiob... Them and the swing ie800. By the time a was in doubt for the two or urbanfun hybrid. I find them -kr25- superior to zircon, but that does'nt mean that i like them more. I
got used to the sibilance of zircon with little time, and i find them really Funny, as the hm7. Maybe i am a V-shaped guy and don't know. The boarseman are really good, they have the enough bass, and the mids are more natural. No sibilance.

But i Just Keep liking the other two. I gave up on kr-25, because they are HORRIBLY built, no mic, thin cable. I asked a einsear T2 to substitute them. And a memt x5 to substitute zircon. As for your recommendation of mh1c, i searched on them, but did'nt have the courage to ask for them. The j cord and huge mic is a deal breaker. For the warm, balancead sound of them, i made an order of hifiman re-400, they seem similar by the description. Also KZ edr2 should do the job of a warm balancead sound - someone here said that they Beat the re-400.

piercing treble

Not what I hear either..and I use the Starlines that came with them. I can't stand the feel of foams.

The KZ ZS 6. Is one of my favorite iems.

Earphones with no mic/remote: most high-end ones don't have them, frankly. Can be added: you can buy extension chords with remote (and possibly with microphone).
Sony cable: yes, it is horrible but you get a great sound for little money.
KZ EDR2: quite good but not any better than the other ones you mentioned.

OH YES! Some positive vibe. Lets just talk about what we love.....about negativity, I will try to avoid this bad experience by making a trustable seller list for Aliseller, can PM me about the one to really avoid. This became: Personal!

So, back to the GOOD vibe hehe. ZS6 being one of your favorite is reassuring. DO you own both ZS5 and 6? WHats the difference between the 2??

 

[Pete7874]

So I ended up getting these $10 C610 IEMs from Amazon... an impulse buy obviously... something to hold me over as I await for my TinAudio T2 to make their way from China.

For $10, they are not bad. Good fit, fairly comfortable. From sound perspective, I'd call them V-shaped... decent sub-bass, but somewhat lacking in mid-bass compared to my old Panasonic HJE350. High frequencies are a little too much for me though and sound a bit muddy/shrill, again compared to HJE350 which have been my main IEMs prior to discovering Head-Fi.

I haven't tried the mic function yet...

For me the 6 is smoother.

 

[NymPHONOmaniac]

Thats a smooth answer to my ears, my main DAP is quite brightish (DX90) so it will pair better than ZS5 I guess.

 

[NymPHONOmaniac]

Any impressions about this **** BELSING HYBRIDS yet??

Intriguing dual hybrid for about 25-30$.

Curious about
CTZ Kodo Hybrid even more:

Soundstage is small...whats this nozzle anyway how can some air pass trough this...by the way, they are different metal nozzle than the one in pictures. Hum.

Why don't you write a review for the crappy product? There is nothing illegal of selling an overpriced crappy product, unfortunately. I'm always wary of too little reviews and am always worried about build quality on the long run when I go over 40eu (the fact that an IEM is in metal doesn't mean the insides aren't attached using tape with saliva.

 

[B9Scrambler]

Because sellers whine and might blacklist you if you give them anything less than 5 stars. The rating system is broken and I do not trust it at all. That applies to reviews appearing on any similar service though.

 

[NymPHONOmaniac]

Yeah....I read a ''positive'' feedback that I should have take more seriously, wasnt thinking weak bass mean that distorted disaster. I really think ALI feedback aren't trustable for must part, how can you give 5 stars when you think the bass is weak? I think all review there are paid for or something like that, rest of description is pure BS.

Color: BA and headset Logistics: AliExpress Standard Shipping 5 stars rating
These are the most expensive earphones I've ever ordered, but I think they are the cheapest 6ba around. Build quality is very high, robust shells. The sound is cold (typical balanced armature sound) with weak bass (no sub bass obviously) forward clear mids, treble not very extended, I expected more details. Soundstage is the best feature of these earphones, huge soundstage. Overall these are probably the best bargain if you look for neutral flat signature.

Hum, I will find a way to return them (for a 24g enveloppe with tracking it cost 55$cad in canada (by boat!), its just plain crazy epensive) and can't listen more to this crap, its a this point non listenanble, I try and just swear: PLEASE STOP TORTURING ME! And I cry, and I think of killing myself.
No but seriously, I will perhaps write an official ultra fast review (can't endure this more than 5minutes, like life or death survival instinct), its a 1 and this its for outside construction. But its a generous zero for sound.

Is it possible you just got a defective pair? Maybe they're all awesome and you just got a bad pair? That happens with all gear - I've gotten defective IEMs and stuff before.

 

[Skullophile]

When you make a return on Ali make sure you get tracking. If you do not get tracking you can't prove you sent them and you will have no refund.
The seller will likely say return them for testing, make sure to launch a dispute with Ali and don't take the sellers word they will refund once they receive the product.
Maybe they will, maybe they won't but protect yourself with a dispute select the refund option and the faulty product and ipload the tracking number once you ship it back.

The bad news is that it will cost you $50 - 60 to ship it back to China from Canada. But thats better than owning a $200 muffled fart bass inear.

We need a list of iems to stay away from eh.
