Thanks for your response. Have you compared the ZST with the Tennmak Pro? Which would you recommend? I'm looking for a balanced sound with good treble clarity. Thanks!

I've tested them both, see the link to my reviews. The Tenmak Pro is a bit bloated in the mid bass region so I'd prefer the ZST not that I'd pick either as a first choice.

1. Hello. Can somebody offer me an advise for an upgrade option to my Sendiy m1221? I'm not a bass head. With the Balanced connectionot option.
I wish to stay under 350 usd. But maybe a 400-450 usd frontier is reachable.
One banned seller on AliExpress has a lot of variants, but no way to find out the difference and a real sound value.
2. I'm also looking for a best single driver pair under the same amount of money. While Rhapsodio Galaxy v2 is too expensive for me...

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at:
1, FLC8S. Can be found on AliExpress or lendmeurears.com
2, Vsonic GR09. Can only buy this through a taobao agent.

Discussion posts about Whizzer A15 seem hard to come by...

Has anyone tried them with upgrade MMCX cables? Can they benefit from a pure silver / silver plated copper cable upgrade? Thanks!
I'm using them with an upgraded cable but not for reasons related to the sound. The original cable has stiff memory wire which made it difficult for me to get a comfortable fit. They do sound pretty good though. I will be posting a review, hopefully in the next 2 weeks.

regarding Tennmak Pros, this shows you why you have to take reviews with a couple of grains of salt:

PROS: Punchy bass

CONS: very weak bass response
https://audiobudget.com/product/Tennmak/Pro


"My first impression was that they we're a little bassy, but after some listening I would redact that statement. After more listening, (about a month or so) I would say there are not a little bassy, but very much so."

That's why I avoid audiobudget. Dude spends next to no time with an earphone before he reviews it. I respect all the work he puts into his site, but I will never use it as a valid resource.

Lol piercing highs? That's the reason I stopped reading AudioBudget.

I'm not sure about FLC8S.I didn't tried them, but I have seen somewhere their comparison to K3 pro. They were better, but not "another league". And to my ears, Sendiy wins from K3pro in every aspect.
VSONIC is really good idea. Thanks.

I used to check out his reviews, until I'd get an IEM & be like 'was this guy listening to the same thing I am?' I can understand once or twice, but when it started happening more I stopped paying attention altogether. Now I know better & just avoid the site.

his criteria seems to be volume and bass quantity--if an iem is loud and booming, he loves it. not a very sophisticated palate, but it's his site. i will say that the photos are very pretty and it does serve the purpose of promoting fantastically obscure brands you wouldn't otherwise hear of, some of which (dzat, joyroom) can be quite good and some of which are not.
