That really sucks @crabdog! Jim is ridiculous for that 100 hr statement but entertain it then send it back. Have him send you the LZA2s as an equal trade.

After this though, I'm no longer buying from HCK.

Is it possible to do that? Even if I had to pay postage it would be better than basically throwing away the full amount I paid for them. I don't believe burn-in can fix these either.

Tell him you want to exchange for the LZA2s. I believe those are just about the same price?

  Okay well I said I'd post some impressions on the Zhiyin Z2016 so...
 
Awful. Straight up, plain horrible. I think I understand now how many owners of the Qt5 felt.

 
Please do write a (mini) review. when someone types "Zhiyin Z2016 review" into google, they'll at least be warned....

@Lurk650 A2S is slightly cheaper believe it or not.  :\

the 100 hour thing is a well known tactic to get you beyond the return window, so basically its a load of bs. I am very disappointed that the seller would try to screw you like that. Ask for an exchange for something better imo.

  Nice review, and having received them recently, I agree with you. Very clear and resolving indeed.
 
Just one correction - according to Zorloo, the output impedance is 4.7 ohms. Makes me a bit worried, since I recently ordered a 16 ohm IEM. Let's see how they pair..

The electronic product sheet from Zorloo themselves lists 4 ohms, did they update that value elsewhere? I was looking but I didn't find the 4.7 ohm number anywhere else. TIA

Tell him. Esp if you have to pay postage back. A2s is already getting favorable reviews

He basically said the same thing to SeeSax in regards to the ZhiYin QT5 and told him ship it DHL 2 day or or whatever for $60. Ended up extending return time so Sax could send it to Bhazard and I believe they sent back at a cheaper price

I wouldn't say to avoid HCK altogether, just that Zhiyin brand, especially knowing that the z2016 now has that. LZ has been solid, along with a few others.

Don't want to go OT too much but do I just arrange something with Jim or will I need to use the dispute button?

I'd try to send a message to the seller on AE first and see what happens.

My experience with this seller when problems occur is not good but I hope you have more luck.

What happen when iem gets damaged if you burnin 100hr in one go ?

 

[TwinACStacks]

A2S is pretty good. Easily my favorite of the LZ line so far, although I am burning in (Again) the LZA3 to 350 hours. Let's see if that makes any difference. The A2S are nowhere near the SQ of the IEM "whom shall not be named", but then again they are 1/3 the price.
 
I like them. Lots of Bass. Treble is slightly rolled off, right where I like it.
 

TWIN

Seriously Though Muzo, let the drivers relax for a few hours then try them to see if they work normally. If they do, No harm no foul.

zhiyin z700 which are rebranded kinera bd5 are pretty good. I bought them from taobao thanks to @1clearhead signature and have no regrets.
