Neutral should mean flat frequency response.

Clean should mean no distortion and/or muddiness

Balanced should mean not too far from neutral.

Until someone trustworthy can compare both I'm gonna hafta call


Yep, big grain of salt there. Sounds "like" is not the same as sounds "as good as" plus the N40 needs to be powered right. What if it sounds like an N40 w/o proper power which takes it down quite a bit. Of course who is saying that anyhow, the seller?? :)

Anyone ever try this thing? They claim it's sounds like the AKG N40.

I'm really intrigued by this design,i've found three more sellers with this item, but no feedback or reviews about them, the ebay listing includes a carying case and a CD, maybe that's worth almost 100 dollars more? LOL Some differences on impendance also.

It is very Japanese "inspired". Onkyo like housing and Audio-Technica IM series connectors :)

I looked at that page quite a long while ago when people were talking about ZS5 v1 mids but it seems to me that nobody actually follow the definitions in the glossary. For example: when discussing harsh treble, instruments such as the guitar and saxophone have been mentioned but neither of them, or most musical instruments for that matter, are capable of producing notes anywhere near 6000 kHz or above (I'm not sure about altissimo playing on the sax but the standard register doesn't go very high). Apart from percussion, I can't think of anything much that would regularly be producing notes in the treble frequency range as defined in that glossary.

Im actually quite interested in the moxpad X9. I think they are on Aliexpress for 18-20 USD.
Any update on the Moxpad X9? It's been a few months since you asked about them, i found a review of the X6 and X9 on youtube, in portuguese i think, i translated some comments but couldn't find something useful. The X9 are 15 euro on Aliexpress, i'm trying to choose between these and the Kinera BD005, **** UEs, and the single driver UiiSii CM5. My first and only IEM are the E-MI CI880, i really like how they sound, i just reduce the treble a bit. I'm looking for an over-ear IEM that has a similar sound as the E-MI, with good isolation and fit(i have pretty small ears). I already have the ZS3 one the way( may be too bassy for me but i read that the isolation is one of the best in their price range if a good fit is achieved).
Here is the review in portuguese, maybe someone could translate to us a few words of what he is saying. Thanks,cheers.
