Which IEM are we talking about?
The kb100. Forgot to mention which model after i got excited by the discovery.
Which IEM are we talking about?
I agree. Spring 1 are source sensitive.
Tried with the ZX300 and it pairs well, in balanced mode, with the sendmark tips.
Hi, The Spring 1's higher-middle elevation is something, what **** doesn't have. One prefers female vocals, second male. ****'s successor can be Tin Hifi P1, they sound similar.While I enjoy recently bought and well-reviewed IEMs like the BLON BL-03, TRN V90 and TFZ T2 Galaxy I still find myself preferring the **** in many ways. I find its basic signature to be exceptional, along with its detail, clarity, imaging, separation, 3 dimensional soundstage, great extension on both ends, and smoothness. What I would like to find is an IEM with those same qualities but with a more natural timbre, slightly more speed, definition and authority in the bass, and simply more refinement and improvement overall. Would you guys say that the BQEYZ Spring 1 matches what I'm looking for?

I agree about the naturalness of the sound but the bass is quite good to my ears. If you want a pair of very natural sounding earphones the spring 1 would be near the bottom of my list for the pairs I've heard, but it's just so unique sounding in the staging department.... But just not what people are used to hearing. I don't have an analogous pair for the recessed/veiled sounds it presents in such a pleasant way.... Most of the time those descriptions are strictly negative, but I enjoy them here.I wouldn't look to the Spring1 for that stuff. I like it a lot, but naturalness is not it's strong suite, and I wouldn't describe the bass as beeing super fast and defined (though I still think it's quite good). Have you considered the Dunu Titan 6? It has the same form factor, sounds natural to my ears, and the bass has some nice punch to it. I'm really enjoying mine, and haven't really listended to my **** since I got it.
The DunuT6 is on my short list to get next (as well as the ****, tfz no.3, trn im2, etc). Is the bass powerful and deep? Big DD drivers intrigue me.

Thank you for the recommendation. Isn't the Titan 6 fairly V shaped though? It does seem like a very good IEM, but probably not really what I'm looking for. One of the things I like about the **** are the mids which are detailed and not recessed. I didn't mean to make it sound like I want really prominent bass or dramatically more responsive bass. I actually really like the ****'s lows, I just felt that I would like a bit of improvement in that area. But if the lows are no better on the Spring 1 I wouldn't be that disappointed as long as there were nice improvements elsewhere.
As far as naturalness, I don't need the most natural timbre in the world. It's just another area I would enjoy a little improvement in. The reviews I've read have indicated the Spring 1 is pretty good in that regard. Not as good as some single dynamic drivers etc, but fairly good nevertheless.
For example:
"Revealing yet natural sound"
"TIMBRE is thick, textured, and well rounded. It sound at the same time natural and super colorfull, and have a mix of opaque bass, transparent mid range and crisp treble. Slightly bright, but carefully polished."

"Tonality is great, timbre is good, brain adjustment not needed when switching between IEMs which to me is a sign of natural timbre."
https://www.audioreviews.org/bqeyz-spring-1-review-durwood/
"Pros: Detail, detail, detail, timbre, and textures"
Comparing to the Kinboofi Mx6..."Detail is better on the Spring 1 and tonality seems a bit more natural too."
Comparing to the BQEYZ KB100..."The timbre is better, more textured, more detailed, and as a result the Spring 1 has a much more engaging tonality than the KB100."

If I was going solely by the reviews I've read on other sites I would have already bought the Spring 1 because those make it sound like what I'm looking for: detailed, smooth, well extended, large soundstage, fairly neutral/balanced, good timbre, great mids, etc. But I'm just trying to get a better sense of things before I commit the money. It's kind of confusing because it seems like there are such conflicting descriptions. I know there is a lot of subjectivity involved in this hobby, but there seems to be more discrepancy in opinions of this IEM here on head fi than of many other IEMs I've looked at.
I received my Spring 1 today and have listened to them off and on for a few hours and I'm already in love. These are exceptional IEMs. From top to bottom there's nothing that grates on me or stands out as needing improvement. It's incredibly detailed, yet very smooth. The mids and vocals are dreamy. Simply incredible. It has exactly the sound I was looking for. Frankly, it blows away my other recent purchases like the TFZ T2, BLON BL-03, and TRN V90. Of course it's in a higher price bracket, but then again we know that price doesn't always correspond to sound quality in this hobby. The Spring 1 is one that's worth its price and then some.
