Looool that Rakuten search results are epic, did a Sony MDR-XB50AP search and I got this.... from Remote control for Sony LCD to Carl Zeiss 12mm 2.8 and a hand made leather strap.....
Hey Twin, can you help me out with choosing between the TK12 and TK13? I hear the TK13 has more forward mids but I'm not a stickler for ultimate precision or neutrality; I like a V-shape and search for great bass and soundstage. I haven't heard chinese IEMs before but the level of bass and soundstage I'm looking for is at least something like the RHA MA750 or Sennheiser In-Ear Momentums, so not quite basshead but really deep and really present, with a good amount of treble to not make it too dark. Is the amount of bass on chinese hybrids higher in general than I guess western IEM brands as a whole, seeing as they're more consumer rather than "audiophile" centered? I'm really torn between TK12, TK13 and now K3 although I feel K3 might be a bit too analytic and balanced for my taste. Is the TK12 a pure bass cannon though? I definitely don't want to just drown in the bass, but I love a somewhat thicker note presentation. I'd go for the TK13 straight away but seeing people describe them as having forward mids is my trigger, since I really don't want a Hifiman-esque presentation...
You can try Xiaomi pro hd 2+1 . Epic Wide sound stage , very clear highs

K3 under a diff brand, $120 but same day prime shipping https://www.amazon.com/AUDBOS-K3-Earphones-Balanced-Armatures/dp/B06XD4477X
the LZ A4 might not be as comfortable as the K3's too. should save the cash for some other use
Absolutely. But there are 2 others (and probably more) in this same league: Musicmaker TK12 and It's more refined older Brother TK13. They are BOTH at the same level as the K3 Pro but not quite as comfortable in ear fit.
I LOVE the TK12. It is simply MASSIVE and a very Fun listen.
TWIN
Yeah I listened to my 12 the other night, more bass but it's not over the top, and the K3 has more clarity, wider stage and better imaging but the 12 is no slouch. I still love the 12 for what it is, I prefer the 12s design more too esp in the Red
Damn, I think the TK12 looks awful, esepecially in the red, hahadifferent tastes, I suppose.
Do you have both TK12/13 and K3? How are their isolation? I'm close to getting TK12 but I listen a lot in traffic so I gotta have a good amount
Ordered these from Ali. Will let you guys know the impression once i recieve it. A $7 dual driver with detachable cable and such gorgeous looks. If they sound half as good as they look, i'd be a happy man.

It sounds worse than it looks.
Anyone who still listens to it might need to have their ears and sense of value checked by the Sony XB50AP i humbly think.
