**Edit: Here are the 1st impressions I posted on Facebook;
- Fairly balanced sound with a bit of treble and bass emphasis; mild u-shape. As much as I love the Exclusive Series, this is thankfully not cut from the same cloth. If anything, it sounds like the Brainwavz B400 with more vibrant treble and more bass.
- Suuuuper smooth...wow...this was the first thing that hit me. Seems TFZ has really ironed out their treble on this one. It's still prominent but the edginess of their other models is completely gone
- Mids are really clear and open; not coming across recessed
- Bass is really tight and punchy with a slightly mid-bass tilt.
- Build is amazing. The venting on the open back (and it is definitely open back) really makes it look like a baby planar. Too cool.

These are going to be a winner me thinks.
Absolutely amazing looking, however, I have some concerns about long term usage - that mesh on the back is exactly the type that magically collects dust even in hermetic environments... Hopefully it won't have an impact on performance after a year or two. (Is it removable perhaps? If not it is a missed opportunity.)
They look smaller than I thought, judging by 2 pin connector and tips - they are just thick but overall probably on the normal/smaller side of things.

Mesh is not removable. Yeah, they'll probably pick up gunk if you're not careful. Should be easy enough to clean with a toothbrush or something similar though.
They are definitely not as big as they look in pics, thought they not particularly small either. I thought they'd be huge. Here they are beside the Campzenith Knowledgefires for scale;

So dual 9mm drivers are they a push/pull arrangement? I would guess so from the shape but I guess other options exist.

Anyone else notice the Monoprice MP80 is basically the Magaosi K3 with a US warranty?

From the description "Dual-magnetic two-way graphene driver" I'm thinking more like a dual-diaphragm setup like the Dubliz Enhanced. Will need to see about getting clarification on that. Happy to confirm the magnets are pretty strong. In the pics above that was as close to the ZS6 as they could get without pulling together, haha.
nice! looks positive so far, just not a fan of the design... looks like a tribute to spiderman.
It's better than the other versions;

They should've just left these gill lines and completely remove nuclear/web face plate. Also, make the mesh removable, for example by having a screw ring around it to hold onto the IEM. Would've been easy to change, probably cheaper to make in the end while improving usability as well as looks. None really matters if they sound good though.
How do you compare them to the TFZ King?

Omg! You shouldn`t have showed this to me! DualDD-graphene driver ? Mids good and only slight U-signature?
You really mess up my plans getting iBasso IT01. I wonder how those two compare.
@B9Scrambler Since we're in the topic, are you going to review the TFZ King Pro?
