Looks same design as ZS10, which is ugly and bulky imho. KZ, come on, You can do better than that!

May I interrupt this thread about capitalism to discuss IEMs for a second :)? After burn in, the new FEN-2000 soundstage opened up somewhat. Still not at the same level of my first pair though. After reading @toddy0191's post, I played around with the EQ a bit and discovered that the 14K frequency is way overblown. I don't know why Yersen changed the tuning but the accented treble makes everything sound compressed and artificial out of the box. When I reduced 14K and boosted the mids, I managed to make the new pair sound acceptable. Therefore: to anyone who received a pair of Yersen FEN-2000s recently and experienced sound quality that seems inconsistent with the glowing reviews, I would encourage you to try reducing the 14K frequency and see if that improves your listening experience,
Has anyone else gotten the FEN-2000 lately and can confirm this? I spent some time yesterday comparing the TRN V20 with the Yersen FEN-2000 and really prefer the FEN-2000. Enough that I was planning on getting a 2nd pair. Granted its under $25 with shipping but I'd hate to end up with bad IEMs that I need to apply EQ too.

Awesome, I've been waiting for some first impressions on the ES4. How do they fit? They look quite small in the pictures. Is the cable the annoying grippy type? How is the Imaging and soundstage?
I'm looking to upgrade my KZ ate that are my favourite iems. I'm trying to decide between the ES4, TRN V20, or KZ ZST.
They fit like glove...but es3 was better fit as it covered my ear more.

History of KZ

Making a iem.
Perfecting budget(ate)
Dual dynamic.
Concha fit zs3
Hybrid
Super hybrid(zs6)
Perfected hybrid(zsr)
Crossover(zs10)
Perfected tuning(es4)

Now let's see 8BA

I received a pair about 2 weeks ago - took ages to get here and sound rubbish, a major disappointment!

I'd like to know as well. I'm hoping that the retail units are still tuned the way my original pair was. Perhaps the replacement they sent me in the plastic bag were pieces that didn't pass QC or something.

They work, just not very well... Bass is ok but there's no mids and the bright treble is headache inducing after about 30 seconds.
I know, I had the same experience in the beginning. So, try the white-blue eartips first. You’ll hear loads of bass - and some sparkly detail. Listen to classic, listen to jazz, listen to audiophilic test tracks. Then, when you’re adjusted a bit to the higher mids and highs - try switching to the standard wide bores again. That’s how I grew to love the FEN-2000. :)
