Being on a budget, the Chi-Fi revolution has rekindled a love for music that I had lost - and have even given up on getting back due to my constant disappointment with budget brand names. I really do owe so much to the beloved
Knowledge Zenith (and this forum and the very informative threads and reviews)
That said, learning that it is possible to get quality sound without going broke, I admit to getting a bit hooked up on that exciting feeling of new discoveries. My first KZ ATE-S blew me away, then the ZS2, and finally the ZS3 (which I'll love to death probably). But then I got to compiling a list of IEMs I'd still like to try in that price point - there was the Tennmak Pro, and the ZST (since I haven't tried a hybrid), and the Urbanfun, to name a few on that made the top of my wishlist.
I was very soon getting to the threshold of becoming an IEM collector and not a music listener, and since collecting is not what I want at all, I've decided to skip all these and get "one IEM to rule them all" (at a price point where I thought I would still be truly getting a bang for my buck) and now I can declare I'm a very happy user of the
PMV A-01 Mk. II. I went for the PMV because of user recommendations and the stellar reviews here, and on other sites.
As with any opinion of mine, I must put out a disclaimer: I'm a complete beginner in this, fairly inexperienced. But yeah, I really find the PMV
that good. I don't think the bass is too much, or in any way or shape lacking. I did however find them a tad on the bright side, but definitely not in excess. And after some time (physical burn-in, or brain-burn in, or both) they hit an even sweeter spot. They are a sensitive IEM, though, and I suspect that their impedance must be lower than the declared 16 Ohms. I'm totally digging their sound, though. Have been revisiting my music collection, and it's been putting smiles on my face constantly since last week when I got them, and will continue to do so
I've also got them from the banned seller on Ali. They shipped it fast, arrived in exactly 15 days to Croatia, so I can't complain at all.
EDIT: I'm still eagerly keeping an eye on KZ ZSR!
