@audio123 great find in the tfz no.3 ti! I have had good experiences with tfz iems in the past. I personally like the energy and excitement they bring to there signatures and if your saying these have more forwardness in the mids, more of a holographic stage feel and even more clarity then the kpe/oxygen then I am sold and will definitely start saving up. However, did you compare the tfz 3 ti to the oxygens with stock or the tanchjim upgrade cable because I feel the sound is much improved with the latter. This is one comparison I really need before pulling the trigger.

Also it would be interesting if you put the tfz no.3 ti cable on the regular tfz no.3 and see if that impacts the sound in anyway? Because I'm trying to figure out how the sound is being drastically improved if it measures the same.

Now I got some time to catch up the thread and the talk about the TFZ got me a bit intrigued, so I went on twitter to check if I there's an FR graph and I've found this one showing the No.3 vs TI which looks basically the same:

Well, I've personally never been a TFZ fan mostly because of they like to spam new releases every month and that's a nightmare for reselling value but if that's a good one, nice! :)
Based on experience, similar looking FRs sound very different despite very similar. Back to the No.3 Ti, it is a good one indeed. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)

I have tried the No.3 Ti cable on No.3. Using the No.3 Ti cable, the No.3 sounds hollow in comparison to the No.3 Ti. The No.3 Ti has fuller bass expression, clearer vocals and airier treble in brief.The soundstage on the No.3 Ti provides an enveloping feeling. I will get back to you on Oxygen + Upgrade vs No.3 Ti soon. Cheers! :)

They're here! KBEAR F1 single BA. First impressions are stunning. Genuine full range sound, sub bass too! Generally neutral overall signature, slightly forward mids, excellent treble extension. I think these are a hidden gem! Nice silver plated MMCX cable as well. Full review to come.

I love the look! I had been attracted to them a while ago and wondered if they sounded good.

They do! Very well balanced sound, very comfortable fit, excellent seal with deep insertion using the supplied tips. The most appropriate term would be "natural". Coherence is superb with the single driver. Detail, separation, imaging and layering are all top class. A winner!

for transparency's sake: the memt aren't some transcendentally great sounding $20 iem, but they are essentially perfect for what 98.9% of the population wants in an earphone, which is to say they're indestructible, fit and isolate superbly, and reproduce music accurately. everyone should own one, as well as the kz ed9, which has many of the same attributes.

Agreed. Flawed but fun. If I remember correctly, they have a slammin' low end :L3000:

Agreed, just remember that wide-bore eartips are a must (diffuse the mid-bass a bit to let the music breathe).

p.s. - don't forget another "flawed but fun" powerhouse.....WITH DETACHABLE CABLES FOR $20!!

Do you have a link for the one you have?


@HungryPanda I think I need this! In that amber color.

@Nimweth : I'd really like to know which drivers they're using. Since they're transparent ... could you take a closer look at the BA and see if there's a number somewhere?
TIA and looking forward to your review!

The numbers are hard to make out but I think they are: BB (or KB) 32257-000 and below, 16910258
It doesn't mean anything to me but it may to someone!

Hi there,

Here are my short impressions about the LZ A6 :slight_smile:

The LZ A6 offers a wide variety of sound signatures in a single package with its bass-oriented, linear, flat, fun, musical and reference filters.
Thanks to the 3-way hybrid system used in LZ A6, each frequency is very clear and detailed which makes it to one of the best IEM options in the 300 USD price range.

Result: Highly Recommended!


Pros & Cons:

  • + Solid Build Quality
  • + Lots of sound tuning filters
  • + Clean and Detailed Presentation
  • + Treble Extension
  • + Wide Soundstage
  • - Cable Quality
  • - Sibilance issues with some filters

Thanks to you and @Nimweth. I already had the datasheet for the Knowles for a while but can't say no to those 5.37 Eurons a pair for the Bellsing knock-offs. Looking forward to ordering a couple pairs of both for my own ETY4xy knock-off and comparing them to the current ED-29689.
