Anyone has experience with the TFZ Balance 2M? Any comparison with the King Pro or the regular ones?

The B2M is superior IMO. It has more bass, very smooth mids and highs and doesn't have the same frustrating upper midrange peak that the King has (I haven't heard the Pro version.)

If it was me, I would get a $3 KZ EDR1 and the iBasso IT01 and call it a day.

How do you know that's a side

Literally never heard of any of those, but I heard IT-01 and IT-01, FiiO F9Pro and Falcon-C are really worth looking into if you're into really amazing Chinese IEMs. All 3 sound like IEMs used to sound in the 300$ - 500$ area a few years ago, but please mind that each of those has a different signature.

IT-01 is just really really sweet

IT-01 ($109): https://penonaudio.com/ibasso-it01.html
Falcon-C ($219): https://penonaudio.com/dunu-falcon-c.html
FiiO F9Pro ($140): https://penonaudio.com/dunu-falcon-c.html

The IT-01 looks like the best deal.

thanks! is it more sub bass or more mid bass than the King?

More in both but most noticeable sub-bass. The mid-bass has thicker notes than the King but is still very well-controlled. The overall presentation of the B2M is a little more coherent and organic. The King has more perceived clarity due to the accentuated 3kHz-5kHz range but I find the B2M to be slightly more resolving overall. Both very good IEMs in their own right but I personally find the King a touch edgy and fatiguing in the upper ranges.

Blue = B2M, Green = King

Please keep in mind that IT-01 has the warmest sound of all of them

If you like warm and thick signatures, then it makes the most compelling option from the start

My favorite iems right now are the Toneking TK2 and NiceHck HK6 both north of $100 but so worth it

A lot of headfiers prefers to sidegrade and sidetrack but if one actually sums it up one can attain audio bliss with HK6 imho

 

[HungryPanda]

I forgot to mention the Rose Mini6 is another fantastic iem

I can't compare to UE900s but I like the sounds much more than Westone W60 and Fiio FH1.
More details, better vocals and a very pleasant bass (I tend to like but extra bass so I changed filters to the bass focused).

Thanks for your reply. One more question.
Are there any crossovers in these earphones? Couldn't see any in the marketing materials.

My technical knowledge of terminology is lacking but it has 2 ldedicated ow-frequency drivers, one for mids and one of highs, so I would assume that is the case...
