I have the M1 but these are much more comfortable with a wider soundstage (they belong to my wife so she is burning them in at the moment)

The burn-in is finished. I don't think anyone has both the M2 and the ZX1.

OKCSC M2 was got short reviwed and was compared to HD800 on Aliexpress.
Does it make sense?
Poor hd800...almost every phone has tried to kill it if it is possible...many attemps of course have failed for overthrone.
However it is always interesting for that attempt.
Ony this kind brave act/wild imagination is possible in this thread.

I went to college in the Pacific Northwest....in the 90s they had a thing called "BC Bud" that the college students smoked so they could tolerate Alice In Chains....you sound like a guy named Sean that used to sleep on my couch.

Asked the seller for the differences between the M2 and ZX1 in sound. They're keeping it short: 'The ZX1 is the newest, more comfortable'.

So insightful

Does anyone know if the design of the ZX1 resembles another headphone, in the way that the M2 looks very much like the Grado lineup?

Looking for some mobile headphones, anyone have any experience with the Takstar ML720?

 

[Bartig]

Well I just listened to these and my first thought was that it sounded like a Grado with more bass and soundstage. Bass is really good, goes deep and doesn't bleed, treble is bright and mids are clear. I would say they are L shaped. Pads are removeable

You had me at soundstage. Bought them.

I think they meant that the ZX1 is more comfortable but they sound the same or similar? They do appear to be using the same 57mm drivers. Surely they have not sourced two different 57mm drivers.

As for resembling another headphone.... I chose the ZX1 because of its unique look.

BTW, the cable is not detachable if that is important to you. Also they like some power. I have only used them at my desk so far with my desktop setup....Fubar HD dac/amp. @HungryPanda used his Fostex dac/amp when he tried them.

I have never heard the HD800 but if the ZX1 is the same or similar in sound to the M2 then that ailexpress reviewer would have to say the same about it. Funny thing is, when I first listened to my ZX1, I was so impressed with the detail, imaging and soundstage I was hearing that I had a weird thought... wondering if this is what an HD 800 might sound like. I had not yet read those comments. Haha... that would be awesome if people are paying hundreds for for a comparible sound ChiFi for the win!

Haha... I was busy replying to you as you were buying them...

What kind of person is Sean?
Sorry, I am not from western culture so that I don't know the context of your post.
is he drummer of a reputable band, Alice In Chains?

@mbwilson111 when did this generic OKCSC 57mm beast suddenly get the name ZX1? Maybe after the first 2 customers bought a pair they decided it was a good idea for them to be identified as a specific model?

 

[jwong]

Wow, that ZX1 is bizarre looking, and yet I am sorely tempted. Maybe it's because I always wanted a "symphony of the big head".

There are good reviews for the brother M2, who has the same 57 mm drivers.

Some says way better than he-400s, and another says tones being similar to hd800.
ZX1 looks feminine with fabric finish and M2 masculine with wood and metal.

I ordered M2
