My Coronavirus arrived today by way of Ncenck NX7 Pros...i kid. So, i have advanced m5 customs. I also just auditioned the EE Legend X and my M5 sounds like doo doo ever since. Currently, using the stock filters. Didn't see a reason to switch based on reviews.

I popped the NX7 Pro's in and i was saddened that for the most part - these are better than my M5s. The NX7 Pro sounds pretty clear with good separation and nice bass. However, the high's are a bit messy. Switched to a silver cable and its tamed them a bit. Overall, not too shabby. I'll give them a few weeks see if my opinions change.

That looks quality built.
Yeah but the Audiosense DT200 has even better build quality, because it has a metal nozzle and the resin feels better somehow.

Hi Guys, just gotten the New KZ ATR and I'm not happy ..
I think it's the beginning of the end for KZ, look at the horrible QC coming out of their factory ..

1 side is longer than the other ..terrible even the cable counter balance is not balanced, which makes it uncomfortable to wear

As compared to the higher quality older KZ ATE , with the counter balance paired perfectly side by side, just awkward to wear cables that has a side longer and worst with the counter balanced system for the ATE & ATR ..you would expect KZ to be more concern to ensure this is so...

Anyone else facing this issues with their new batches..just amazing how they pride themselves with quality, but to churn out something like this today :frowning2:

I've been looking at Taobao DIY IEMs again.
I found one with a steel ER4-style housing and 32257 drivers. They offer two choices for the driver, Knowles or "dual driver" 32257.
Has anyone ever heard of this "dual driver" 32257?

Also there's another store selling ER4 clones with housing made apparently from UV resin. They look stunning. If they weren't $54 I'd grab a pair just for the looks.

I've been looking at a few of those also. One question i have though is.. using the right drivers is one thing, but knowing how to use it, crossover tuning etc. Those are the big ifs

The ones I mentioned are just single driver units.
The ER4 (older variants) are pretty much known inside out by now.
The one with the 32257s is probably an attempt to clone the ER4 XR.
