Yup Zen 2 is 320 so your m3 would have pushed roughly 15 mW to it. The Zen 2 has a very sensitive driver relative to its high impedance, so it actually works surprisingly well on sources that are very low on wattage. I remember I was able to play Sony PSP with the Zen 2 plugged in and it both sounded great and got louder than i'd want it to. But the Baldor E100 (32 ohm but low sensitivity) sounded still very quiet at max volume on the PSP.

If you wanted big bass, go to DIY EMX50 :sunglasses:

sigh golov17, that M5 is gorgeous...I never tire of seeing it!

you might want to consider the M3 too if you enjoy the Shanling house sound so much. Bought it for 192$ new during the new year.

Zen 2.0 having less bass than Asura 2.0? uhhhhh bro you might wanna use them rubber fits or hooks. Asura felt more out of balance with the lower half of the spectrum.

unless there's shoddy make in the last batch :S

Asura 2 is brighter because of upper mid emphasis, but Zen 2.0 possesses pretty good resolution.

wait...unless I misread. kindly disregard my comment:s

I also thought the same as you... But because of the other comments I decided to go see what Ve says and it says
" Our middle child earbud is very much a lonely kid, a misfit in this world of bass-emphasis"
Which defintly confuses me since I read that as 'not much bass'...
Is that misread do that mean it HAS bass emphasis?

tried it with Shanling m2, m3, Aune m2, Xuelin 770. with following amps: Shanling h3, Aune b1 (2016) (don't remember exactly). I didn't get much bass in line because of upper mids emphasis emphasis. the have some resolution no doubt. again, from what others pointed out Ymmv.

Lee hates bass boost and thinks it's stupid. I let him know how good it is at EQ and extreme amping, and the bass becomes phenomenal. But I don't think he really wanted to acknowledge his high end no-bass-focus bud actually has very killer high impact and well controlled sub bass with no mid bass exaggeration (that awful kind of  bass

@flamesofarctica  - Not heard RY4S yet. Can anyone confirm if it's a unique driver? I have so many mx500 based designs it's hard to want any more, especially when I know I have the heaviest bass earbud design

 so RY4S would have to be REALLY crazy to beat my bass champions. And i have to be curious if the listed sensitivity for RY4S of 95dB±3dB is really true. that would be very non-sensitive if so, would need an amp for sure...? does yours? Even at 4.99 I barely feel an urge to get it

 Have you ever amped yours?

@vapman - Which earbud would that be?
