Thanks! First, I will try them out this way a bit. The punctuation failed, the removal of the filter was too easy. Behold the work of a true mod pro! :p



I don’t sense any lack of bass, so I’ll see if I want to punch the other hole as well.

What is all of the black stuff blocking all of the space in the nozzle? It looks like glue, a rubber ring, or something? Whatever it is, seems to be blocking a lot of sound from the dynamic drivers.

Also, that included red-cored ear tip looks to be too narrow (again, necking down and blocking sound). I would try some sort of wide bore tip personally.

I don’t know, looks like there’s a Klingon vessel in there man. :p

Rose aurora is discontinued model, and is compared to rhapsodio clipper ad not zhiyin z5000.

Zhiyin z5000 is a technical monster tuned toward bass and rose aurora is faster and more clear rhapsodio clipper.

Zhiyin z5000 is very fast and dynamic punch is above all iem under 80$.

Rose aurora is like litlle less bassy then z5000 and with some sparkle on treble. But zhiyin speed is way more than aurora
Can you remember/tell me what frequencies are boosted?

For example, I currently have KZ ZS3 and I like them, but I feel that there is some bass bleed due to a much wider range of frequencies being boosted. I prefer the boost to be mainly around the 40-80 Hz area.

Yeah, that looks like clear crusty glue. I would try and clear as much of that as possible using tweezers. Just don't let the chunks fall down into the IEM. You can hold it over your head (facing down) as you break the glue up. That will cause the pieces to fall AWAY from the IEM (and towards the floor). Make sense?

You make it sound so simple! Have you seen my pierced filters? :p Haha, will try this - many thanks!

Well, don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with or that is beyond your skill level (or eyesight level). If you’re happy with the changes so far, just leave it at that and enjoy.

At a minimum, this is all documented so others who have the v60 will be able check theirs.

No, I meant that if you were in the US (like I am) I have some bluetooth stuff I could have sent you. But because you are not in the US, shipping would cost too much.

Lol i'm sorry I totally didnt follow. That's a very nice offer! What sort of bluetooth stuff do you have? I don't mind paying the shipping costs to Canada. Regardless, very nice of you :)

That glue is actually a plastic covering that keeps the BA centered in place. It’s looks like it got twisted around a about 45 degrees, mine is aligned on both sides and looks fine. It may have been dislodged while taking out the grill maybe? Or just poor QC.

@Bartig I’d highly recommend replacing the stock cable, even the stock KZ cable sounded better (though I don’t like it’s ergonomics). It will be less veiled, more clarity.

With the basic mods it’s really gotten a whole lot better. Will try to do some quick comparisons with cm5, nicehck bro among others. I have a feeling it’ll fare quite well

Am liking these much more than I was expecting. Really quite impressive.


If I'm not mistaken, this is from a brand related to the banned sellers? might be wise to check up on it and remove if needed (pity, I was interested since I heard its quite good and there's a quad hybrid coming)

Trn v60 (modded) vs uiisii cm5:

CM5
- neutral sound, all-rounder
- highs more extended, better reprentation of instruments
- some sibilance
- vocals are thinner
- less resolution, imaging
- flatter soundstage

TRN V60
- elevated bass, L -shape
- warm, darker sound
- treble is rolled off, no sibilance
- fuller vocals, more clarity & resolution
- bigger soundstage, better perception of depth

I have zsa on the way so I’m looking forward to how they compare as well.

Correct, banned. Info is in my signature link.
