Okay now you begin to alarm me about Z5000 QC, as I got 2 different pair I will toroughly compare them to see if the one I use everyday since about 3 months sound different.Well zhiyin z5000 for phantom bass(well bass is not extreme basshead level but these Tesla driver are tuned in keeping bass in mind, well these small babies don't know the term roll off.....they can extend up to 4Hz audible or more like feeling bass) and have good mids and treble.
But QC is bad as mine turned hazy and my friend's version is still rocking.
TinAudio T2....well simply, it slayed all iem in term of tuning.
It is a average mean of diffuse field and Harmon kardon response.
Slightly more amount of bass than ety er4xr(the bass version I am talking....the XR). These sounds very clean, smooth to top notch treble line with a very little emphasis on cymbal 8k to 11k....so that cymbal don't sound soft. And in soundstage, they are bigger than ety but smaller than zhiyin(t2 lacks in limitless depth than zhiyin provides)
T2 is airy stage while z5000 is closed hall-ish stage with bass.
T2 is more extended but a little bright for those who are coming for consumer level iem.
Well, @Slater @Nymphonomaniac @zazaboy @CoiL
I actually listened to unique melody mason v3(if not budget, these are still Chinese iem) and the staff was like....sir please close your eyes
(Holy ***, what in the *beep* sound is this)
Well simply, it slayed my u18 like it is a kid.
It is not about soundstage(well it was like soundscape...no wall, complete euphoria)
But signature and speed....it was laid back neutral with tinge of warmth, but speed of overall music was just too fast for me...Fastest iem(bass was though a little slower than u18 but snares and everything was like they are timed to stop)
One of a kind experience
UM V3! What....2600$ 12drivers IEM sure should give a crazy hearing experience. I participate to a contest to win them but it look like nobody win it finally (?). So sound lack decay but have very fast impact, hum, perhaps it permit to give extra resolution to the cost of making it sound less realist. Anyway, this is a way too pricey IEM and we must be ULTRA severe with IEM above 1K.
Whats the best IEM under 1K you try or own bro?
I just write a review of the Campfire Audio Polaris wich I feel is a rightly priced high end IEM, but I wish there were a 2 years warranty at least, but Campfire say they will repair at low cost any of there IEM, wich is a sign of respect for there consumers.
Anyway, in every price range we search for exception, and the 50-150$ price bracket is where miracle can happen in term of sound value, I think I will try news stuffs in Ali sale, hope to find something that excite me as much as Z5000 or Tinaudio T2. I have hope in KZ ZS10, but no illusion neither....but who know?
