CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

KZ HDS1 is tiny! 17x8mm excluding tips... I like the sound from it as well, and most who have tried it seem to think it's good or very good.


posted this pic in the KZ thread, and there's my blue KZ HDS1 and my KZ HDS3, compare to the 3.5mm plug... (the metal/contact part of the plug is 14mm)
The KZ HDS3 seem to be lacking a bit in the treble for my tastes, so i wouldn't recommend the HDS3 based on SQ, but price and size is both small

Are they the same size as the KZ ED9? If so, I don't think they're small enough and I would need something with a smaller profile. An example of an earphone that worked well in-ear was, for example, Sennheiser CX200.

EDR2 is about the same size as ED9 and HDS3 is like a mini EDR2, same looks but smaller. So, to answer more directly HDS1 and 3 are both much smaller than ED9 (and they don't sound anywhere near as good as ED9 with brass (reference) filters IMO).

Can anyone recommend a very small IEM that would fit comfortably under a motorcycle helmet with decent sound quality, preferably not with forward or strident highs?


AK the Light, don't think you'll be able to find any smaller. It does also sound very good :wink:

Comparison between ed9, hds1 and remax s1pro

 
Thank you for taking the time to take that picture but unfortunately I don't think it would be small enough for what I need, I need something even smaller than that but thank you very much regardless for taking the time to do that comparison picture.

Looks like I'll have to eat my own words since the RHA S500 is pretty much the same size (and may also be worth considering of one like a more energetic presentation).



I'd still recommend the Light though and they're definitely more enjoyable than any KZ offerings that I own to my ears.

how does the **** 4in1 compareto the zs3's?? mainly on bass & clarity
The 4in1 easily bests the zs3 in clarity although the zs3 is a very enjoyable listen. I don't think I'm as treble sensitive as others because the 4in1 doesn't bother me in that respect. Also not a bass head but both sound adequate to me with with the clarity of the ****'s bass appealing more to me. Fit goes easily to the zs3 if the one way they fit matches your ear (I assume it does in most cases). All this said, I currently have the zs3 in my ears. I know it's a step up in price but the Magaosi k1 gives you the best of both worlds.
