I went for the red with the A1; if I'm impressed and decide to go for the A2, then that one would be black.
 
I also have the LZ A2, one of the best earphones released last year. Great performer and a steal for the $99 I paid for it.

Even though the scaling is a bit of a cheat (20dB intervals), frequency-response remains in between approx. 8dB until 7kHz.
In comparison the LZ A2 has it's dropoff starting at 5kHz respectively, which concludes to a better treble-extention. (If the design remains similar)
Also there is a slight improvement in sub-bass; mostly in roll-off

Overall looking promising. Btw. does anyone have some experience with their shipping times (to EU)?
Also @Carlsan, what colour did you order?

This comparison is not valid unfortunately because those headphones have not been measured under the same equipment using the same standards.

I'm well aware. However I just wanted to give a approximation in that regard. I presume the HCK were measured with a IEC711 coupler.
Obviously the LZ A2 measurements were done with Vibro's Veritas, which is not 100% accurate. (beyond the different standards)
I will update that graph with measurements of my own, when my A1s arrive.

  I also presume the HCK was measured with their own chinese IEC711 (they have their own chinese fake IEC711 also...).
What will you use for measurements?

Yes. It was conducted by Fake Chinese Lab Technicians.

the LZ A2 is just getting more and more expensive each week.
at the 11.11 sale I had them for around $76 with coupons, where the "action" price was around $85 without any further coupon.
now it's $120 :frowning2:
they do sound exceptional, but you have to get rid of the original tips and get some wider bores. I use the Sennheiser double flage ones, which are super soft http://en-de.sennheiser.com/accessories--cx--set-lamella--ear-cushion

Another cheap hybrid to compete with the Xiaomi. This looks cooler to me and **** has been impressing lately and they have a choice of mic or no mic.

I meant these, from earlier posting:




HCK now produces their own IEM!

2015 Newest HCK A1 Dynamically And BA Double Unit - USD100

Don't get wrong, this A2 and A1 have driver 1 dynamic + 2 BA for A2 and 1 dynamic + 1 BA.
It's same with LZ A2 and A1 but with a higher prices. Don't know with the sq, better or not.

Xiaomi Hybrid even faces stiff competition from Dynamics let alone other hybrids.

Anyway the **** dt4 was released before the xiaomi hybrid

I do not like these price jumps and crazy prices in chinese eshops.
I do not care if they are just placeholder prices. Such conduct is not reliable for me :frowning2:
