Okay, after reading last pages I will scrap out some IEM`s on my to-get-list Sendiy M2, Easy M2, LZ-Z02A and continue to discover with Tennmark, Joyroom, Easy UE and some others.
I hace all the fashionable KZs and also the Joyroom E107 and Rock Zircon. To me the last two are head and shoulders above the KZs.

The 107 in particular has such precision I find it enormously addictive. The KZ to 107 is like comparing a classic AB amp to a high quality modern Class D amp.

Which KZ`s are You talking about?

I guess I am unlucky. My defective lz-02a had channel imbalance problem. One can't confirm the problem with video as it not visual in nature so Hck asked me to send the earphone to him for verification of the problem. Too much hassle sending them back to china and the long long wait. Had to bail out.
Lz-02a sure has a lot of QC problems

This case calmed my iem hunger for the time being though. Good ending xD

PS: A few days ago the right shell kinda came off a bit from my Kz edr2 while swapping out tips. Luckily no wires snapped and I put it back on. No problems. Same thing happened with my vsonic vc02 once. Now today suddenly the right shell sounds a bit weaker on the edr2. I was already sad about lz-02a, and now this. I will verify the issue tommorrow.
Chinese iem makers should really use better glue to hold the shells.

My 03a's cable is somehow messed up, it keeps on forwarding track on my phone, it goes away when I adjust the cable tho, contacted Easy and got a partial refund (half value) without having to send it back....

I've got the Tenmak Piano and enjoy them. They seem to be fairly neutral with good detail. It sounds as if the Pro might be slightly better at the cost of losing some bass. The Piano is already fairly light on bass imo so I don't think the Pro is for me. Also I love the Piano in bed at night because I can lie on my side without killing the sound.  My UEs however will arrive today :D

M`kay... So, E107 is beating all of them with all combinations of tips and nozzles possible?

What is Your sound signature preference? Your music genre preferences?
If E107 beats ED9 with brass nozzle and foam mod (neutral balanced signature), EDR2 detailed tight bass and pretty great imaging/soundstage, ATE airy spacious soundstage and great mids...
then E107 it will be... my next cheapo to go head-to-head against WOM-mod.

My sound preference is analytical detail. The Joyroom are less toward sounding than the ED9 and without the right tip lack bass.
However with turbine tips they suddenly turn into this wonderful flat detail monster.

I listening to everything, classic rock, Jazz, modern pop, EDM. With rock they are just stupidly good to me, the separation of instruments is amazing.
Before getting them I was swapping earphones everyday. Now I can't listen to any of the KZ for more than a couple of minutes without being reminded how inferior, in my opinion, they are.

I've got the Tennmak Dulcimer and VE monk+ on the way. I'm interested to see how they compare.

Totally the E107 sound like my Takstar Pro 80s though the Joyrooms are better in terms of micro detail.

I didn't like the gold nozzle on the ED9s, used brass and tuned with various tips. I've got probably 50 sets of tips kicking around. No mods.
The sound of the E107 is far less forward sounding than the ED9, less shouty but in bass notes on something like Led Zeppelin you can basically hear the driver distorting on the ED9s well at least that's what it sounds like after listening to the Joyrooms. So much cleaner. Of course you need a decent source.

Let me and others know how they compare, especially with Monk since my WOM-mod sounds very similar to Monk.

I just received the Easy M2 and was not impressed at all. They do not sound like my ED9's. Black nozzles were useless to me...no bass and sounded like the music was being played down a tube at me. Weird stuff to say the least. The silver nozzles sounded better but still freakin' weird. Threw them on my new burn-in station over night and then after a short cool down back on all day. Only tried the silver nozzles but things are better. I also tried several different tips but settled on (believe it or not) the stock blue core tips that come with some KZ iem's.
BTW I don't use these tips on anything else so once again a strange anomaly for me. I did a back to back with my ED9 and my notes say the ED9 is cleaner, a bit better detailed, more control in the bass and better precision within the details...I know it doesn't sound good for the M2 but I believe they still aren't giving their all. Back to burn-in and let's see what happens. They actually sounded pretty good today during a short listen and they had a quality to them that was pleasing on some levels to me. Bass was sloppy and bit hollow at times.
I'd say they have improved quite a bit from ootb though and even if this is it for them I'm OK but I've got a feeling they have more coming. I've read they need some serious hrs of burn before preforming to their fullest.
 
btw system = beresford capella amp & bushmaster dac both off battery and a samsung bluray as source, listening to some stanley clarke east river drive & some black light syndrome...

That's disappointing, I sortof wish I didn't order them.
Thanks for the first impressions tho!

The tiny wire mesh on my ED9 Brass filter is punctured, should i just remove both wire mesh? does it affect the sound?
