Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

On the subject of tips, I usually find that I prefer the sound of my IEMs when I use a tip where the bore matches the diameter of the inner nozzle, with no part of it being obscured. The sound tends to "breathe" more. The only real exception is with the Whizzer A15 pro where I use the KZ Starline tips. Using wide bore tips on these makes them sound a bit too bright.

This is my usual approach, the only caveat being if the IEM has a lifted mid-bass (VJJB K4). The wide-bore eartips tend to reign the mid-bass in and slightly expand the soundstage.

i saw a few quotes saying its mid centric with clear highs and tight bass but honestly i dont wanna have too high hopes too
DZ 7 is no doubt good but there are some better offerings sonically for a lesser price that one can look at. They may not have the same driver specifications.

is MusicMaker TONEKING ShockWave III really that good?

Near impossible to answer an open ended question - "That good?" compared to what?

The Shockwave are on par with the Fiio F9 Pro, the Lz a4, and the Brainwavz b400. Having said that, they don't sound exactly like any of those, just the sound quality and level of detail is similar.

Fair enough ! My bad.
After I read all those praising reviews I automaticaly posted a question in a way I did it.

Now, if you say that Shockwave is on par with Lz A4 and B400, for me that would be an indication that its not "that good" but just good.

Cheers

The K3 Pro is a good iem but unless the price has dropped a good bit not in the same price point as the Zs6. I think the K3 pro was most of $100 while the Zs6 can be had for <$35 when on sale. My biggest drawback to the K3 was the mids are extremely recessed.
Best is going to be a matter of which price point you are looking at and what sound signature you want.

At the $35 mark, I think the Zs6 or Zsr make good choices, at the $100 mark a lot of options exist and the best one is probably to buy a $200 pair used for the $100 you would have spent on something new.
