Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

Hi all, what would be your recommendations for a pure BA less $200 with excellent technical abilities, balanced/neutral tonality and great extensions at both ends (sub-bass at least good)?
I'm thinking something with Knowles is a safer choice as they usually have better speed/transients than chines counterparts.

Right now I'm targeting Toneking T4 or Tansio Mirai TSMR-3 - leaning more towards the first one. I'd appreciate additional comparison from someone who has heard both, mainly in bass section and overall technical abilities.

Thank you all in advance and Happy New Year everyone!

Yes, both the C10 and ZSN sounds very good with AR Rahman songs!...I love to hear many genre selections from around the globe!
Was listening to Roja-Violin Cover ft Dream Track! ...Awesome track! :thumbsup:

ZSN plays AR Rahman songs clearly and clean, but C10 will tame any harsh or sibilance that may arise in a more natural manner while keeping the song real.

thanks....Roja-Violin Cover ft Dream Track is not from Rahman...

AR Rahman music is accoustically rich in sounds... i think the it needs a specific type of IEm or earphones that have a Vshape, sparkle and sub bass with large soundstage

Wow, that hype train derailed quickly!

Just 2 months ago it was supposed to be the end game earphone of the century. What happened?

The centuries have become more compressed than a low bitrate MP3?

I'm was thinking the same thing seems like it was only last month people bought them up left and right. That's the one really crazy thing about Chi-Fi one week the IEM you bought is the most amazing thing ever the next it's the worst.
