  Hi guys!
In your opinion which will be best early 2017 hybrids? I love my Crazy Cello, but I would like to try something different.
The **** 6in1 and the KZ ZSR seem promissing, but we have almost no information about them..

 
 
I won't be jumping in early on either of those, problems with the initial KZ ZST and DT2+ have put me off being an early adopter. Even if they drop onto Ali later this week I think you'll be 4 weeks away from getting a definitive view on whether these are going to be the next big things.

  The K3 is close to the A4, but I prefer the A4 overall myself. If either went on sale, it would make the choice much harder.

 
I am in a dilemma about buying A4 or K3 as K3 is about 40% cheaper than A4 in taobao.
Is it a better choice to buy K3 rather than A4 for the cost-performance according to your review?

Yes, neither will I. Just want to keep an eye on them.
Anymore good ones coming out this year?

Thats alot of money for a basshead IEM.

Well, it would be if all it were was a bass cannon with no concern for other facets of the sound. The Mk. II preserves the mids are treble while delivering immense amounts of bass. Frankly, I don't think there is another IEM out there that is doing what the Mk. II is. That combined with the excellent ergonomics and well-built cable make it a compelling buy to me.

Shockwave III? JVC Triple Dynamic?

I happened to have two people in the hall I live in who have those two exact IEMs: those don't hold a candle. The Shockwave has distortion and smudging and the JVC Triple Dynamic has a bloated mid-bass and lack of upper mid emphasis compared to the Mk. II.

Tough choice. I prefer the A4 overall, but for 40% less that K3 is a heck of a bargain.
