Shells are very similar shape and neither is particularly deep insertion so isolation is roughly the same between models. I think either would be fine unless used in exceedingly loud environments. Same for comfort, both are good but neither is spectacular. Soundwise, it depends on genre as to which I like better, for rock and pop I'd go bQ3, for orchestral and piano I'd go Kc2. Knowing your choices, I'd lean toward the BQ3.
Thank you so much, closing my 2018 IEM quota with BQ3

I have to agree with you Slater.
Many people just think about buying the iems with most drivers, and just care about the driver brand and so on.

Maybe everyone should stop thinking drivers are everything.
There are many proves around that building an IEMs with brain, tuning in a good way less drivers and putting them into a well studied shell, could absolutely be better than picking a fancy big shell with 30 drivers per iem.
Not saying that drivers are useless, but listening to music with IEMs is not just about drivers, it is about enjoying what you're listening without considering only how many drivers are shooting out the sounds.


Exact
I have gt600s with 2 drivers and they are very awesome. I prefer globally as10 because they are technically better and more controlled
But gt600s have 3 nozzle. Great idea and very polyvalent. Very fun, balanced and brilliant for classic

You've an iem and certain bags have iem more expensive than the price
I don't get why we get to pick mic vs no mic, grey or black.

EDIT: ordered.... God damnit!

Oh, I’m not bashing TRN. I’m bashing the people that think the driver wars are the only thing that should drive their decision.

The other thing to keep in mind is the size. A lot of people think the AS10 and ZSR are big. 6 or 7 drivers per side, plus crossover (and possibly tubing) takes up a lot of room.

And I do have to be the devil's advocate and remind anyone that might be reading that for some companies, its much easier for them to tune several drivers to reach their target sound signature rather than develop a single DD/BA from scratch that might or might not perform up to par. Companies like Dita, Campfire Audio, Hifiman invests tons of time just to make one model or even DD/BA that costs thousands to recoup the R&D costs.

Its not as simple as "why don't they just make a DD/BA that sounds good"

OK.
After looking at all the IEMs that the store sells, the lucky bag could be the macaw rt-20. Seems pricier than 10eu though...will wait n see

Hi all
It's been a long time
If you're interested nicehck do a lucky bag. I think they are generous for review sample ( they purpose me for and precise me for review sample)
I was also asked to review it although I have no clue what is in it. But I like the term "fukubukuro", that's classic Japanese and reminds me of my Japanese class 25 years ago. And of my childhood in Germany where it was called "Wundertüte" (wonder bag). My wife says, here in Canada it is called "grab bag". Well, I grabbed one.
