Just trying the QKZ AK6..anyone else ? Love all your Comments please ❤

Arent those the VK4?

Edit: Ah, I see that it’s a different model. Same shell, a little vent instead of the metal pin, and a fixed cable.

Ah I see what it did there..the little vent is what they call the acoustic airflow tech....still burning it in but pleasantly surprised for something like that with such a low pricing

Yeah, it’s a fancy marketing name haha. Like calling the tires on a car “centrifugal vector technology”.

Form 1.4 arrived today! Are you interested to hear how they compare to 1.1?

Shell seems to be a bit larger than on 1.1, little disappointing that they didnt improve the cable even a bit... I will post sound impressions soon.

Love to know your honest opinion on the 1.4 compare to the 1.1

I briefly compared them to each other with few songs using the same eartips. These are just initial impressions so take this with a grain of salt: Form 1.4 seems to have slightly warmer tonality with smoother and more refined presentation. They have more full-bodied and "lusher" vibe. Form 1.1 sounds a bit thin and grainy in comparison and also brighter in the treble, perhaps little more sibilant. They seem to have clearly improved soundstage and imaging compared to Form 1.1, not by a ton but still. Form 1.4 has better textured and more defined bass, I didnt notice anything vastly different going on in the sub-bass, 1.4 might have a bit better extension in the lows but Im not 100% sure about that. Both emphasize midbass over subs.

So far it feels like they are an improvement over 1.1 to some degree, is it $100 improvement Im not sure yet. I have to listen more.

Appreciate it. Thanks

Got my Moondrop Nameless and spaceship today. Sounds like Moondrop tried to emulate the same sound in the nameless in the spaceship, however I actually like the nameless more despite being an earbud instead of an iem ( smaller soundstage and grainier highs in the spaceship compared to the nameless). Spaceship is however a nice iem with very good mids ( very good actually), good highs ( for the price) and clean lows ( too little bass quantity for my taste but it is tight and clean). Different from the KXXS but still a bit familiar.

I believe that I wont make a review on the Moondrop Spaceship so I will just post some pictures here.

I didn't understand. They sound like the starfield?

I find that the blon 03 is just completely better in nearly all aspects of the sound and it costs around the same too, not that impressed by it. Especially since you can get the Starfield for only 100 usd and it is much better ( at least if the starfield is equal or better than the KXXS). Will get the Final Audio E1000 soon so if that one is worse than the spaceship then I might make a review for the spaceship.

Have anyone possibly tried or owned Toneking P10? Im interested to try out some planar in-ears and they look tempting. I didnt find much information about them...

I have finally published my TRN BA5 review.
If you wanna check it out, here's the link: https://audio-monkeys.com/in-ear/trn-ba5-en/

If you didn't check the ST1 review, then you have the link here: https://audio-monkeys.com/in-ear/trn-st1-en/

The differences would be cool to know, as the shell is similar and they came out at the same time.

I quote you as well because I have seen you were interested.
Summing up: would I buy the BA5 instead of the ST1? Maybe not.
For the price of the BA5, keeping the eye on TRN brand, I would pick TRN V90 + TRN ST1.
Some of my friends online say they like the BA5 very much, and while I personally think it's a good earphone, there are IEMs even at lower prices that deserve a bit more attention (like ZSX, V90 and CCA C12).

The ST1s are indeed very good performers considering their price BUT.. the ZSN Pro are better sounding to my ears.
