Hello all, long time lurker here.

Can anyone do a comparison between the Shozy Zero, TK12/13, DQSM, and Easy UE Customs 2016? I've followed most of the respective threads and checked out Twin's reviews comparing some of these IEMs, but am still undecided as to which one I should get. I tried my friend's DQSM during the unpacking and fell in love with the (slightly exaggerated?) soundstage. I also own the RE-400, so I'm looking for an IEM with similarities to both: DQSM's soundstage + RE-400's mids + sub-bass extension. I would gladly appreciate it if anyone could chip in on this or point me to relevant reviews.

Thanks a ton.

Twin should be receiving both the 13 and the Shozy very soon so comparison will be following in the next weeks

Hello, my first post here, but I've been reading Head-Fi for a long time. I have I question for you 1Clearhead since you seem familiar with Takstar Pro80. I have those and I'm interested in HLSX-808 you've been praising. Can you compare those two in terms of bass, treble and level of details? I really like the sound signature of Pro80 and am looking for similar sound out of IEM. I know they are not in the same category (over ear and iem), but to me seems like a worthy comparison.
 
From what I read here about Sendiy M2 and Shozy Zero, it would seem they would be too dark for me, and I don't like dark headphones. So what are treble and details like on HLSX-808 compared to Sendiy M2?
 
In your profile I see you have DIY version of K3003. Are those the ones you have:

Also would be nice to see a comparison between HLSX-808 and LZ Z03A or LZ 02A.
 
Lastly, I've seen these:

are really popular on Aliexpress (111 orders, 72 feedbacks) for $35, which seems like good price for a hybrid. Here is what I found about them searching the Internet:

and 282 comments on taobao: https://world.taobao.com/item/525361664999.htm
 
But from what I understand reading through chinese/english google translate they too seem darker than what I would prefer.
 
Anyone here heard BOSSHIFI B3? 
 
Thanks

Thanks all. I was already leaning towards the Shozy Zero and DQSM before I asked the question, but I'm definitely looking forward to Twin's reviews.

received the pai audio mr3 and mr1. not hybrids, just balanced armatures (3 and 1, respectively).
mr1 can compete with dynamic driver ones in its price segment perfectly. btw, excellent fast bass for a single ba imo, with good detail.
mr3 is delightful, once replaced stock tips (soft and thin silicone) with spiral dots, which provide better seal and let the flat accurate bass to show. superb for neutral flat signature seekers. bassheads, keep away from them. now, it's my best and fav iem, together with audio technica ath-im02.

Anyone know someone over at Easy Earphones on Ali? Ordered my Easy M2's March 29th and haven't received anything...my buyer protection is running out and I am thinking of starting a dispute. No communication from the seller either....

As I understand it, there was a delay in shipping just about everyone's order after that sale. Check your tracking number to see when it left China.

i think there is a new thread for these discussions.
but, if it can help you, my order to Easy of march 29th has been shipped on april the 18th (boarded on the 19th). yes, that's a big delay in shipping (20 days). no communications. and it was marked as shipped falsely on the first days of april (i guess to avoid order cancellations).
 
Edit: anyway, there is another month before protection ends. sure your package will arrive before. these kind of things sometimes happen. a bit of patience needed

It is common sense. If somebody calls an earphone W-shaped there will have to be three frequency ranges that are forward and two that are recessed. Now think about this: which three do you think the given person means are forward and which two are recessed? Exactly. you would not have a clue. 


Okay, if it makes you happy, let's call it my opinion. But it does not change that none of you knows what it means if another person calls an earphone W-shaped, and you know that. 

I always got the idea that "W shaped" sound meant that there was a recessed upper bass and lower treble which lead to cold but accurate vocals, emphasized lower bass, and emphasized your treble.

I see your point and honestly think that people, when reviewing/giving impressions, should use their words when describing an IEM rather than just labeling an IEM's sound with a letter. Looking at an actual frequency graph, they don't resemble letters at all which is sorta silly in itself.

I'm not reporting you, but in Head-fi forums like this other people will when you start/feed arguments, especially ones as silly as this one. So I'd recommend chilling out...

Yeah I messaged Easy the other day saying my tracking is invalid and of course his reply is "my friend just wait more days, it will come". Yeah I'm gonna wait but why the hell did you supply me with an invalid tracking number?

My LZ-03a cable deffinitely have some issue. The mic and button never worked straight out of the box. Recently when I plug the unit into my phone the sound will start cutting and skipping forward, moving the 3.5 jack a bit helps it go back to normal. Does Easy accept returns for this unit?

"my friend just wait more days, it will come"

I placed my order on the 2016 Easy UEs on April 10th and just yesterday got my first update that they'll be leaving China soon, lol. I hope they're as good as you hyped then to be

Maybe it's because I'm a little older, but you guys seriously need to learn patience. The Chinese postal system has been overloaded for a month now. Easy sent me out a package with tracking number. It didn't show up on USPS tracking for almost 2 weeks. It also showed up as an invalid number, then it showed it passed through sort then 3 days later it's in Chicago.

Be Patient. If Easy says he sent it put and gives you a tracking number then he did.

One third or more of all the people on Earth live in China. Their postal volume DWARFS ours. I have never failed to receive a package yet.

Hope you like them as much as I do. They are my daily now.

Thats the same date my coworkers UEs said were shipped and that's what's I'm waiting on since I ordered them for him

They are worth the wait.

No need to be in a rush.
