That's what's confusing about it. Don't see how they could have two dynamic drivers in there as the exploded assembly view gives no hints of where that second driver might be??

Just received my KZ ZSE, and just comparing them with the Yinjw P8, I think the ZSE wipes the floor with the P8 in terms of overall sound quality. The only area where I think the P8 I think comes out on top is bass quantity.

Probably a play on words for marketing sake.

R side = 1 driver, L side = 1 driver.

1+1="two dynamic drivers".

Similar to how manufacturers are marketing their IEMs as "6 drivers", when it's really 3 drivers on each side.

  • Well , the certainly could learn something from the other brands who are very clear about what the configuration is on their earphones.
    Such KZ's ZS5 that says 2BA + 2DD, and its on each piece. Or 1More Design that states it as a total of how many drivers they have on each side. Triple Driver being 3 on each earphone side and Quad being 4 on each earphone side.

    Sneaky and 'clever' marketing only gets you the customer once.

    Polished but genuine marketing gets you the customer for keeps if the product lives up to it.

    I seriously don't understand why so many companies do not go by latter idea.

A lot of the time it's simply inaccurate or poor translations, not necessarily shady marketing, although that does exist of course.

This is really good to know, since I was ready to pull the trigger on the P8 for it's 3 driver set-up. :disappointed_relieved:

in view of the pending nuclear holocaust, my buying moratorium has lifted--just got the "ADAX 5-40hz" for $16 on amazon. quite a find--the latest of a seemingly endlessly-evolving group of bright, big-sounding cheap dynamics. will be posting initial impressions shortly on vidal's website, asian provocative ear.
to which end, those of you that frequent said website ought to consider skipping a beer or latte and donating a pound or two in order to finance the continuing discovery/review process--to avoid potential bias from freebie review samples, all the budget iems there are self-financed
