I ordered two more after I received the first. Well, can't be sure if they are actually legit but at least they sound impressive.


Agreed. The Kanas clearly has better imaging, mids is flatter (I find Sony's mids is tilted toward upper mids/lower treble), bass is more textured. But yeah, that Sony is a real gem.

Sony is hard guns company for sure. I have also discovered about month ago somewhat old dap from Sony, Nw A35, and for my taste he has won with Shanling M0 and newest Zishan.

I think sometimes the sellers themselves have been supplied with fakes without realizing it.



Mine seems to be real. UK seller. I ordered the orange one from this link and my husband ordered the green. He put grey tips on his so I have both color tips for me! Maybe I will put different colors on right and left

I also ordered a pink one from a Chinese seller. I hope it will be good. My husband will probably re-cable it for me if it is good. Put in different drivers if it is not, but there must be something special about the stock ones to make it sound like it does.

Cheers, ordered an orange pair.

I searched my daughter's room for a pink pair I bought her with the Bluetooth receiver years ago. She's never used them and had chucked then in a drawer and now they've disappeared.

I never even tried then as assumed they'd be terrible.

It can't have just disappeared. Maybe she will remember where it is.

Reviews on that are mixed bag. I’ve always avoided it for that reason. It’s supposed to have horrible driver flex too.

Hopefully you’ll like yours. Be sure to let us know!

They are said to be quite bassy.

Her room is like a Bermuda triangle for earphones. She also lost the Crazy Cellos I bought her in there and we still haven't found them months later.

Yeah, i noticed the same... But i think im crazy enough to give them a try. I hope that they have at least fixed the qc-issues.

I dont know how trustworthy this comment is but they have supposedly done something to the sound signature:

Just stuck the ZhiYin Z5000's in my ears, I forgot how much I liked them.....

Added BadGuyGoodAudio FR graph to Kanas Pro FR graphs post: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/moo...pressions-thread.894139/page-19#post-14707206

Another confirmation that KP is going to be real treat for my ears! That graph looks darn great! ;P

How you would describe their sound in a nutshell?

 

[HungryPanda]

The ZhiYin 5000 are tip dependent but with a good seal sound full bodied with nice treble, not sharp. I do not find them too bass heavy. They are very comfortable in my ears

Hmmm...10 months old, imbalance discovered by routine measurement. Let's see how well the warranty service of a renowned Chinese company works.

I heard it sounds like being inside a nutshell in a squirrel's mouth.

How do they compare to the NiceHCK EP10? From everything I’ve read about the Z5000, I suspect they are very similar to the EP10.
