  @crabdog
I would be interested to hear how you would compare them to the shozy zero.
 
Also, what's the deal with the cable on the Tennmaks, does a replacement cable make them sound better?
I think someone mentioned a silver cable in this thread.

@GodZeon If I have time tonight I'll A/B them again with the Zero.
 
The only other cable I've tried with them is the one from my Hisenior TD1. I didn't notice any significant change in the sound. Pic of the Hisenior cable:

ClieOS, when are Your going to share impressions on TFZ Series 5 ?

 

[crabdog]

@GodZeon Compared to the Zero I'd say the Piano has a tighter, punchier bass and an overall "cleaner" sound. Upper mids of the Piano are more forward but don't have as much air as the Zero. Highs are more extended and prominent on the Piano as well. Zero mids are more forward, particularly the lower mids.
 
They're both good and I don't really have a preference for either one. I switch between them often depending on what I'm doing (Piano over ear better for movement and noise isolation etc) and what I'm listening to. Sorry I don't have time to cover in more detail atm.

too many iems

Yeah, Like a Maharaja with too much womens to choose from his harem...
Can drive crazy!
But here on Headfi it's too many GOOD IEM, if we were in the dark perhaps we would think: too many bad IEMS.

Same experience here, but my friend burned them in for me.

  So, when I tried them for the first time?....It was sub-bass heaven for me!
 
.....This was an awesome gift from my friend.

 
I believe it was you who recommended the TY HI-Z here first so thank you!  

 

[audio123]

to sum up:
tfz series 1: bass (although im not a basshead, the soundstage here impresses me the most)
tfz series 3: sub bass is very nice but grainy treble
tfz series 5: balanced and packs details

Here in headfi, too many is never sufficient!!

Hmm... Kind of curious about some of these chinese IEMs, headphones and dac/amp. So I'm thinking of making myself a "goodiebag" with audio gear under 100$ to see what things sound like and if they are even worth my time at a later date (each individual part has to cost less than 35$ including shipping). Any tips as to what is interesting to try out?
 
Just to create a baseline, my preferences to sound signature is neutral with a very slight bump in the lower end.
 
I think it would be fin to try out some new stuff rather than just being stuck with all the regular super expencive brands.

 
 
Edit:
Aliexpress Shopping cart currently look like this:
- Tenmak Piano
- Tenmak Pro dual
- DZAT DF-10
- Xiaomi Hybrid
- KZ-ED2
- VE Monk
Putting total purchase sum at: 98.3$
 
Either this package or I jsut buy a single pair of BossHifi B8 as they just look so awesome.

Looks good, though I would swap out the ED2 for the EDR2. It matches up with your preferred signature better than the ED2 would imo.

 

[Rainmaker91]

Swaped the ED for EDR, other than that I ended up ordering the list 

 Hopefully I'll be able to do some comparisons if ou guys want that.

 

[kiler]

Yes please give us all the info you can 

 

[Rainmaker91]

  Yes please give us all the info you can 

Sure, but I'm not exactly good at noticing stuff other than I know what I think sounds right and what doesnt to my ears 

 Guess I'll be reading up on things like that before I get them, after all it usually takes about a month to get stuff from Aliexpress
