$16 for dual driver MMCX IEMs. Not bad at all. I'd be curious what they sound like. I've seen numerous other dual 8mm + 6mm dynamic driver setups myself (and own a few).

Not sure if it's 1 or 2 companies making all of them (or least just the drivers coming from the same place), but the few I've tried so far all sound similar (not stellar OOTB, but respond well to amping and EQ).

Yeah didn't seem like too crazy of a gamble at $16. I'll definitely post some reviews.

Even the shell themselves look similar to other ones lol.

Received some new Zircons, as the other one breaked, and i noticed how amazingly well they fit in my ears. This makes them one of the most used of my iems, even tho that i like other signatures more, sometimes fit and design plays the most important role in our iems, the isolation, confort, etc.

Bit the bullet on some TinAudio T2. Ended up being very curious, pulled the trigger $35 shipped to US.

Anyone can compare these to ZS5 (I've got v2 but modded)?

I do not have the ZS5 v2, but I have the v1 and the ZS6. I did a test today listening to the same 7 pieces of music (first 5 tracks from Lindsey Sterling Brave Enough, and two tracks from Coldplay Live 2012). The headphones I tested were the Urbanfun HiFi, Tin Audio T2, KZ ZS5 v1, ZS6, and the E-MI CI-880.

From today's test, the Tin Audio T2 is somewhat cleaner sounding, although to me, the T2 sounds a little colored in the mid-range. That may be my sound bias, as I have always preferred planer or electrostatic loudspeakers, which to me sound closer to real life acoustic instruments. So, what people refer to as V shaped sound is probably my preference, at least to some degree. The T2 was cleaner and more detailed than my ZS5 at the low end. The ZS5 had better air and high end extension. Interestingly, my two favorite iems from today were the E-MI CI-880 and the ZS6. To be honest, the T2 was disappointing today on this material. I was not critically listening though, as I was working.

Looks like you were in a critical listening session to me!

Seems pretty expensive, but their semi-hard shells seem tempting. Ive got access to a westone W30 for about 70, but ive to reshell it, so thinking of a way to make it more financially accessible. Thats why thought of chinese companies doing it

I just received my lz a4 today!!! Out of the box they didn't say much, but after changing the filters to red read and blue front and changing the cable the sound way better. I will have to play with them more and by the end of the weekend I will make a full review. I am so exited!!! Who else has these? What is your favourite filter combination? Favourite cable? :ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile:

Indeed... Good looking IEM. Reminds me my QKZ DM300. Very, very comfy for long time using.
