So, the sharp and prominent peak at 8KHz on the Shozy Form 1.1 really bothers me on many songs at anything more than a mellow easy-listening volume. There are a lot of things I really do like about the 1.1, from the build, shape, size, comfort to the overall tonality. If only they didn’t feel the need to add a ton of “sparkle” to the treble. Well, with an MP tape mod (which doesn’t really target the 8KHz peak that well) in addition to foam ear tips, I find that it tames the peak enough for me to tolerate it at most listening levels. This really is a good IEM, but it has a ton of tough competition now, including the EA1, FD1, T2 Plus, and IT00.
I had a nice aftermarket IEM cable (hybrid copper / silver) from a prior IEM, replaced the stock one with it and also changed to wide bore silicon tips. The frequency balance now seems much more even, soundstage wider and a bit deeper, really a good quality sound w/o peakiness to my ears. YMMV.

I just received my new KBEAR KS2 earphones....and first impression after just a few minutes: they are great!!

I will have to compare the sound with my other IEM's, but right from the start these seem really, really good. Clear, dynamic sound. Punchy bass and nice highs.

I also love the stock cord. Easily the best quality cord I've gotten with an IEM. These earphones also look really stylish. And the tips fit perfectly. Great seal. Comfortable. Could not ask for better stock tips.

I'm really psyched with these and will provide a lengthier review in a couple of days.

I received some Blon BL03's a couple of weeks ago...it will be interesting to compare.

is there a source for cheap cases for IEM's ?
i am getting hit with increasing shipping fees on ali when i buy more than 3-5 cases - I want 20 or so for all my IEM's

I bought about 10 hard cases at around $1 USD each (yes u read that correctly, $1 USD) from Aliexpress.

Something like that:

Just search "KZ ABS case" in Aliexpress, multiple shops sell it, can be cheaper during sales.
It is very similar to my Westone hard cases that cost $20 just to add their logo on the casing. Big ripoff!

I know the Aliexpress shipping charges seem to go up when ordering past a certain number of hard cases, so I usually compare a few shops and see which one gives the best shipping rates. There's a sweetspot for how many hard cases u can buy for lowest per piece shipping, you gotta explore the different shops. YMMV, as my country's delivery charges may be different from yours.

I've used snack containers; which are usually available at this time of the year (for back to school), at your local "Dollar" store. Two years ago I got 2-paks for $1

or a parts container, this one comes in a 2-pak, for $20, at HomeDepot
