Yes, they sound pretty close to the ZS5 (earlier version) or as others claim, version 1. The T2 has smoother and cleaner vocals, plus they just took first place when it comes to guitar and other string instruments sounding so realistic. But, I haven't heard the later version (v2) of the ZS5 to say the same.

Any thoughts on MEMT R7?
Thanks,

If t2 sounds at all similar to Zs5 then I'm out.

Tinaudio T2 is nothing like Zs5, It has a neutral, non fatiguing sound imo

Thanks,

The R7 is gorgeous and really nicely built but it has too much bass and a muddy midrange imo.

I'll back this to the moon.

The MEMT R7 are constructively sound...very well-made housing and good cables; a first for MEMT. But, even though the default silicone tips are not at all my favorite, you can easily swap them, let's say, either foam/comply or my personal choice, magaosi's soft rubber-like silicone tips (an aftermarket purchase). You'll get exceptionally vivid clarity with no harshness or sibilance, whatsoever, and very nice extended lows.

+1 ...Definitely more neutral than the ZS5.

Agreed 1000%. I was interested in trying the t2's, but recent impressions of them comparing to the kz's has turned me off considerably. As a side note, I finally unloaded the zs5 and 6 and unsubscribed from the mess of a kz thread. It was a good day indeed, haha.

I think it was that TRN iem that was compared to the ZS5 on the Tao comments. Not the T2. Correct?

People are capable of getting bizarrely upset about cheap-ass headphones. I swear flagship threads don't have nearly as many people throwing tantrums over stuff.

That's where the fine line draws the difference between the two.....ZS5 leans towards a balanced signature, while the T2's leans towards a neutral signature. ...of course, that depends if you're using foam/comply or silicone ear tips.

Maybe because ppl buying cheap earphones are hoping to land flagship killers whereas ppl who bought flagships believe that they got flagships.

I'm also curious about the difference between balanced and neutral......

 

[pashhtk27]

On dark and warm, maybe the difference is that they refer to two different frequencies. Warm for sound with lusher and creamier midrange, while dark for rolled off treble frequencies.
No idea about neutral or balanced. Maybe he meant natural?

More objective wording surely would be a clearer choice.
