Oh, I just want to add to my collection. I already own IEMs between the $100-$300 range, in fact I also own the T2. I have the RHA T20, the Kinera IDUN, the Shozy Hibiki, UE Triple Fi10, etc. I am just on a Chi fi kick right now.

oh no i was totally misleading because a lot of recommendation for T2 and you didnt mention it earlier that you already have it. Your initial question is about ZS7 and Q3 yeah. so if you already have so many iems then its up to you, you already heard em. But from my short experience, BQEYZ got more refinement and smoothness and superior to KZ in terms of technical abilities. Cant give further comments since i dont own ZS7 right now and maybe, well maybe, they have significant improvement for this model.

Well, all my sub-50 chi-fi are not that dissimilar. The offering in the $50-$100 range seems pretty scarce too, might jump to >$100 all the way.

I personally interested in the banned brand triple driver (recently discussed in the other thread) because it seems that it puts something different on to the table for the price range. Other item I also interested in is the MoonDrop Crescent or Aria (said to be Harman-neutral?).

same with me, aiming for that since i never had piezo electric driver before. as for moondrop i choose to pull the trigger with its bigger brother Kanas Pro.

Moondrop Aria is said to be a mini Blessing (their mid-end model), so it should also be Harman-neutral.

NiceHCK M6 or BGVP DMG and the filter set for the LZ-A6 to fit them? that gives you a $100 chi-fi with a ton of tuning options and good base signature.

I just got one word to describe these TRN IM1.

Wow

Wow

On the IM1, I’ve never been able to figure out what it says before the word “armature”.

I tried as best, it could be bye armature which doesnt makes sense so i am leaning towards life armature

 

[HungryPanda]

hifi armature

hifi armature

Dang it, Panda beat me to it, was just about to type that.

I just stuck these TRM IM1's in my ears playing Yello - Toy, I'll say it again, that bass !

Well, rule #1 of design: if most people can’t read it, pick a different font or just leave it off altogether.

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but has anyone used mmcx to 2 pin adapters ? They seem real useful.

With adapters like these, you're introducing one more point of failure. With good quality 8-core cables going for as low as $7/$8 on AE, I don't see the point with these.

Ah ! thanks for pointing me towards the right direction.

Hi, sorry to be that guy, but can anyone compare the TRN v80 (which I have), TRN IM1, and CCA C10? I'm looking for a neutral+natural sound signature with a big soundstage, all round value and detail.

I have all three and I would rec the CCA C10, TRN IM1 is V shaped with huge bass, TRN V80 is not as natural as CCA C10
