which iem of $ 15 you refer to? Curious.


The KZ ZS1. It's dual dynamic. The sound isnt better compared to the tk13s at lower volumes, but at least it doesnt dissort at normal listening volumes. Even the shure se215 sounds better at these volume. I'm listening on my phone, when i'm at home later i will try to listen with my audio card, it hast enough power.

:grinning: I agree Skully. It's his source distorting. You need more power with most hybrids.

:grinning::grinning: TWIN

Just tested on my ESI X-Fi NRG sound card and the tinny heights are still there, not that intensive but yet i can hear it. To be honest, this is my first IEM with balanced armatures. Maybe this is typical for BA?

Hey, Folks,
Can the SW III be worn over-the-ear? I'm particularly wondering about the MMCX version, since the connector looks like it might be too large and rigid to allow over-the-ear fitting.
Thanks!

6 Bills? Jeez Skullman. I hope they are great for You.  Being over-Ear they don't appeal to me at all. They would just end up sitting in a Drawer like all my over-ears eventually do.
 
Good Luck.

  Just pulled the trigger on a pair of MusicMaker Shockwave III's from Jim at HCK. I'll be super curious to see if my impressions are similar to @Skullophile and @TwinACStacks
I'll report back...
