Stuff like that is quite normal and I don't blame them, but this guy was obviously on his high horse, talking sh!t without knowing sh!t. It's that benighted yet arrogant mindset that really pissed me off.

Uh yeah, got what u mean.
Thes kind of behavior happens many times with people who try showing expertise in certain sectors in which they're not competent at all.
My parents have teached me a life lesson which is: "if you don't know something, don't speak about it as if you do".

BQEYZ KB100 review on my site & Head-Fi.
I feel this is the best under 50 USD IEM I have tried so far. YMMV. Enjoy reading!

Anyone on Tenhz p4 pro vs DMG or DM6?

@audio123 what's the difference between the KB1 and the KB100, also have you heard the KC2s they are supposed to be more neutral

They are exactly the same according to @Wiljen. The KB1 is normally included as a wired package, and the KB100 is normally included as a wireless package. The only difference is which cable is included in the package.

Although I do think it’s the other way around. Because audio123’s KB100 was wired, and my KB1 came wireless.

They do cosmetically change the faceplates and/or colors, as they do with many (if not all) of their other models. Why they do this is beyond me. It just creates confusion.

Anyways, the bottom line is the IEM itself, including the sound tuning, is the same (according to what BQEYZ told @Wiljen).

I spoke with the rep again regarding this and it appears that the KB100 is only handled through Penon while the KB1 is only through one of the banned sellers. It appears they badge models according to who is reselling them. Not sure how much the reseller has influence on the tuning and requirements based on our conversation. It could be the same shell is re-used but internals vary based on what they indicated. I am not saying that is the case with KB1/100 but that if another model with the same shell shows up it may not have the same tuning.

So is your post that I referenced accurate? Is the KB1=KB100 tuning?

Supposed to be based on what I was told but I now have some doubt creeping in based on some other things that were said. I have the KB100 on the way so will know soon enough.

One of the best bang for your bucks...... ever!

depends on the bucks. The discounts you guys got were great, haven't even found a single listing on the DC1 directly from china that matches that price (it retails for 299 yuan or around usd$45, which is still quite good)


also, it seems Simgot thought they needed a new sister brand to release some budget IEMs, so there's the Meeture MT3 (single DD from what I can see, usd$60-ish)

Just to clarify regarding KB1 and KB100.
I think @Wiljen is confused. From what I have seen, he reviewed the KB1 wireless & not the KB100. From his review, the picture of the packaging shows "KB1 Wireless".
Now on to the sound difference,
In short,

KB100 vs KB1
The KB100 has a fuller bass performance than the KB1 and the KB1 has quicker decay. The midrange of KB1 has less body than the KB100. Vocals are presented in a thicker manner on the KB100 Treble on the KB1 is more airy.

KB100 vs KC2
Bass on KB100 is articulated with slightly more strength and the mid-bass delivers a fuller slam. KB100 midrange has extra body than the KC2 and vocals are more intimate. Treble on KB100 is smoother.

Hope this helps.

OK that clarifies things.

I had spoken with a rep but have the 100 on order to compare myself as I will admit to getting more than one story on these.

Headache. I'll wait to see if there is a better offer as you say, I'll try to keep an eye on stuff. Thanks for the heads up!

Seller agreed to cover PayPal commission charges. Today he initiated the transfer of the amount I paid for my order. But PayPal took a cut of about 8.5 usd. I've messaged him again to transfer this amount as well. Lets see if follows through.

Anyway, between all the currency conversion charges (by credit card company while placing the order and Paypal while remitting the amount to my account), I'll end up with net loss of 16 USD. The seller made a fool of everyone. He is now going to garner more orders because people usually place buy from a store that has more orders.
