Are these IEMs any good for my purposes (budget, SQ, comfort) as compared to Xiaomi Piston 3? Looks like a newer model. I can also get 1More Piston Classic. Which of the three should I go for if I can't test them out?

  Has anyone tried Xiaomi Mi Capsule or any of the OnePlus IEMs (Icons, Bullets)? Next to no reviews on these anywhere. I'm after a budget pair with good SQ and very good comfort. Are Xiaomi Piston 3 a good choice for many different music genres? What about microphonics with these?

I tried the Piston Air (Capsules) and sold it after two weeks of usage. Fit was quite weird for my ears (if not revolutionary they said) and SQ as far as I can remember was no better than the Xiaomi Hybrids or even Piston 2.1s.
 
IMHO, Piston 3 is really comfy and lightweight. No major issues on microphonics as well. However, it might not be your first choice for an all-rounder IEM, imho.

Thank you for your insight! What about Xiaomi Hybrids vs 1MORE Piston Classic? By the way, is the latter basically the Xiaomi Piston 2.1?

I have been looking at some IEM's from china lately. I have narrowed down my search to a couple of models and I would like some input on which IEM would be best for me. I use IEM's for mostly podcasts but when I listen to music it's a mix of Prog rock, Indie pop, Funk, Jazz, Rock, and maybe a little EDM, this is all being played from a Moto G 1st gen or a Sony Walkman MP3 player. My budget is around $25 USD the IEM's that have stood out to me are KZ ZS3, Tennmak Piano, Tennmak Pro, and Monoprice 8320. Is the price jump from ZS3's to Piano/Pro worth it? I'm also open to suggestions.

it may be the shiny new toy phenom, but i'm currently enjoying the zs3 over the piano (which i slightly prefer to the pro)--the zs3 has more bass control. in any event, the differences are not cost-effective--all three are big-sounding with large soundstages.

May I ask where did you buy your zs3 and how long it took to arrive?
 
Thanks!

I find the Tennmak Pro a great all rounder with a BIG sound, and amazing soundstage (I prefer it's SS over my Dunu DN 1000 £130). it has very good overall detail and bass goes very low. Maybe also look at the DZAT DF10 which is another great all rounder. Both are very musical and fun.

 

[harry501501]

One other thing... The Tennmak Pro is super comfy and has a detachable cable

How do the Tennmak pro compare to the KZ-ZS3?

Thanks!! I'm going to get the KV-ZS3 to start my journey in budget IEM's, since the Tennmak Pro is almost triple the price but it's on my list of IEM's to try.
 
Edit: After looking at some reviews and threads on the Tennmak pro, I am going to pickup the Tennmak pro instead of the KZ-ZS3. It's seems It's well worth the extra $$ over the KZ-ZS3.

They are a level up from the zs3s. The zs3s are great value but the details in the mids of the pro are unreal. Add to that a fantastic soundstage and bass that digs deep and you have an amazing iem that has a true hifi sound imo.

If you like a really bright sound though they may not be for you.

I don't necessarily want a bright pair of IEMs but I do like airyness and detail. Is the bass tighter on the zs3 or Tennmak? Is the highs more detailed on the zs3 or Tennmak? Anyone used the YHS 002? It's a 1DD+1BA
