Other than the fact it was good that it ended, no.
Oh, come on. That beat! Those vocals! Instant classic. M'thinks we need an extended version.

Thank you Peter, that means alot coming from someone I look up to here and respect.Thanks for the nice review!
I've got one question for you: how's subbass extension and impact on them compared to the B400?
Thank you Peter, that means alot coming from someone I look up to here and respect.
I find the B400 to have a significant rolloff in the subbass, considering the elevated midbass. The T4 has better extension on both ends in comparison to the B400. The bass is more linear from subbass through to the lower mids, meaning to me, it sounds like the subbass is equal in quantity to the middbass. It has more subbass impact than the b400, but less midbass impact.
I hope that helps!

Here's an updated review, with comparisons and also some other cleanups. Thanks again for all of your help guys!
I haven't heard the b5+ yet unfortunately. I would like to get them at some point though.Could you compare to Hisenior B5+ ?
Thanks,
So, basically what I said here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chi...phones-and-iems.820747/page-826#post-13792315On Balanced Sound
The old discussion of balanced sound has been coming up on a thread where I don't have posting privileges. I'd like to throw this old one in with a bit of an update.
Many reviewers and head-fiers use the term "balanced" sound signature. But similar to the shape of the FR curve (U-, V-, W-; discussion here: https://goo.gl/8wPg4q) the term is used inconsistently, which causes confusion.
First, how is "balanced" used - since it is nowhere defined:
1. One writer claims that there are two kinds of "balanced" sound". It refers to "flat" or "neutral"(same) with no frequency emphasized. Balanced sound can also refer to a V-shaped sound (human ears are more sensitive to midrange, therefore some of usprefer boosted bass and treble; the latter is also called "fun" signature.
2. Some writers consider only V-shaped sound as balanced, whereas others distinguish between the two terms (balanced and V-shape are different signatures).
3. To me, none of the above applies: balanced to me means round, even, and harmonic sounding (the pierce in the ZS6 makes this one unbalanced sounding).
I consulted HifiChris for discussion.
Our Conclusions:
1. We both try to avoid wishy-washy terms, therefore we don't like the term "balanced".
2. "Balanced" is a tuning above neutral that sounds realistic and natural, it constitutes a mild V- shape not far away from neutral.
3. We therefore disagree with point 1. above.
4. A detailed description of the sound and the frequency response is more accurate and conclusive than a crude, poorly defined and therefore ambiguous term such as "balanced".
In short: balanced is if none of the bass, mids, and treble is "oversalting" the sound signature and all three harmonize. It covers a wider range than neutral as it is less specific.
If you're going to do that then you might as well do the same for every single term commonly used to describe audio. Warm, bright, sharp, transparent, resolving, punchy, sparkly, rich etc etc etc. People's own interpretation of each term is going to vary so I think it's important to look at the context they're used in. Most likely though it will just be another endless debate because people generally assume that their opinion is always the correct one and tend to make mountains out of molehills.

Yes! That's why I use these glossaries to be as little ambiguous as possible:If you're going to do that then you might as well do the same for every single term commonly used to describe audio. Warm, bright, sharp, transparent, resolving, punchy, sparkly, rich etc etc etc. People's own interpretation of each term is going to vary so I think it's important to look at the context they're used in.
