@dhruvmeena96 ...how can You say anything about Queen sound? As I understood, queen tuning has not been finished yet. Where and how did You get a listen?

But TFZ queen looks VERY nice and seems much more comfy in shape than King Pro.

TFZ have many stunning iems, series 1-5, exclusive 1-5, balanced 1-2, my love 1-2, Tequila, King/King Pro, Queen.

I hope they can give an official statement (or measurement) on the differences between them.

TFZ should "step out" and bring out more revealing FR graphs and descriptions. It will only benefit them. Still wondering about Tequila SQ and FR graph.

KZ Edr1. Got mine for $2.76 last month.
coincidentally, this morning i received a pair of the edr1, which i bought for my son but will probably selfishly keep for myself. it's impossible to overstate how good these little mfers are--on a lark i pulled out some $100 players to compare (fad heaven iv, echobox finder); while each had their strengths, the edr1 unequivocally plays in their league and actually sounded the most transparent/natural, at least on a more powerful source. i think it's better built than the zs hybrids, too.

Let's hope this post doesn't get lost in the sea. :upside_down:

I'll try to be as brief as possible. I read a lot but

I'm ready to treat myself to another pair of earphones. A have a few of those but the references purchase would be the Sony XB90EX and the KZ ZS3. This would most likely have tipped you off that I like me some bass. However, I feel like I want earphones whose low end is somewhere in between the aforementioned pairs. Both of them have great low end, however the XB90EX's bump seems to be centered a tad more towards the sub-bass than I would prefer, whereas the ZS3 has a much wider range of lower frequencies boosted so it bleeds into the mids a bit too much for me. Also, if possible, I would like a bit more extension in the treble.

Perhaps I am way off in my assessment and description but... I think I'm looking for an IEM version of my CAL! which is basically my favourite pair of headphones (cliche, I know). My second favourite pair would be my DT 770 Pro 80Ohm, if it helps...

Cable isn't that important. I will be using a shirt clip which should compensate a good portion of the microphonics, so unless the cable is really awful in terms of cable noise I'm okay with it.
Source will be my smart phone.

So far I've narrowed it down to the following models:
Tiandirenhe TD08
Zhiyin Z5000
Rose North Forest
Rose Aurora (these are so far the primary candidate at the moment, based on B9Scrambler's review)
Whizzer A15

Any feedback is welcomed.

Just received the Baseus Encok H07's today, fitted KZ Starline tips and set them to burn in. OOTB they have a decent sound, bass ok, mids clear, highs quite extended, soundstage is average for an iem. Comfort is good (they are light). Build quality is impressive for the £5 I spent
