To help with the confusion regarding Ks (Ksearphone - Kaisheng Technology) and their quite dizzying array of flagship models and their sometimes rather enigmatic specs.

2016 - Ks K500 轮回之天道 The Way of Reincarnation 500Ω (Balanced)​

​

2017 - Ks K300 Samsara 300Ω​

2017 - Ks w/ Final Acoustics Poseidon 215Ω​

​

2018 - K's Temperament Bell-Ti 32Ω (Low Impedance Edition; aka "Titanium Ling"... sometimes incorrectly interpreted as "30Ω" which is meant for Onmyoji)​

2018 - K's Temperament Bell-Ti 120Ω (High Impedance Edition; aka "Titanium Ling"... sometimes incorrectly referred to as being "150Ω")​

​

2020 - Ks Temperament Bell-Blue 32/33Ω (aka "Blue Bell" or "Bell Smurf"... impedance has been goofy, originally introduced as "33Ω" but later spec'd as "32Ω")​

2020 - Ks Temperament Bell-Ti Onmyoji 30Ω (Aluminum shell instead of Titanium; aka "New Black & White Little Bell")​

2020 - Ks Temperament Bell-We 158Ω (Standard & Bass Editions; aka "New White Ling E")​

​

2021 - Ks Temperament Bell-Ti Onmyoji v2021 30Ω (Aluminum Shelled)​

2021 - Ks Temperament Bell-Ti Plus ??Ω (Aluminum Shelled???; aka "Bell-Ti+"... awaiting to be released)​

Hahah waw thanks ! Did you read my post before I deleted it ?

Thanks!

So which in your opinion is the best in terms of price to performance ratio??

Thanks!

So which in your opinion is the best in terms of price to performance ratio??

Most likely the well regarded and revered Ks K300 Samsara 300Ω especially after my nightmare right driver/cable failure with the Bell-Ti 120Ω!

I kinda wish I had bought the slightly cheaper Bell-Blue instead as it had a far more robust and supple cable on it than the fragile thin one that came on my Bell-Ti 120Ω. I was also quite impressed with the sound of the Bell-Blue aka "The Smurfs" except something in the lower treble was slightly "fatiguing" to me though I wouldn't call the Bell Smurf bright, it is still a rather warm earbud. The Smurf has a nice sparkle in the treble. So again I wouldn't categorize it as being bright or even sibilant but rather maybe a bit "excited". I might have adapted to it after a week or so using them; hard to say.

Still haven't listened to either edition of the Bell-We, the Onmyoji v2021, nor the Bell-Ti Plus so can't comment on those yet.

What model is this one then?

I did friend. It was my mistake because I thought the card inside the box described the ordered earbud but it didn’t. The right description was on the back of the big box. What made me suspicious was that the 120 ohms was so easy to drive.

Being an oddball "re-issue" I thought best to not mention it but I have gone ahead and added it to the list

This is K's 輪迴絕響版 Reincarnation Absolute Edition 520Ω and available in three (3) models: blue shell with silver; red shell with black silver; and black shell with gold. There is a rare fourth model available that is a black shell with silver (similar to the blue shell model) and was sent to certain people instead of the blue shell version for unknown reasons. It is a clever re-issue of their very first flagship 2017 - Ks K500 轮回之天道 The Way of Reincarnation 500Ω. The name is a play on the Buddhist teachings regarding "The Six Ways/Paths to Reincarnation".

Any info on how it sounds like? It is priced a lot higher than the samsara K300.

They are sensitive! @ 106 dB/mW which means 1 measly volt will drive them to 115 dB SPL!

Although a slightly different driver than the original I have been told this re-issue is tuned very similar and sound virtually identical to the 2016 model. The K's 300Ω/520Ω Samsara is regarded as being the best of all the MX shelled model series regardless of price. I can't remember what the 2017 - Ks K500 轮回之天道 The Way of Reincarnation 520Ω sounds like anymore as it has been too long but I do recall back when I listened to it that I had also tried the K's 300Ω/520Ω Samsara and Puresounds PS100-500/600 and preferred them over the K's 500 The Way of Reincarnation.

Thanks for potentially saving me some cash then.

If you like this ornament sleeve on K's K500 you can take your K's K300 to a jewelry store for beautification
Also, the copper tone will look awesome on these, are you agree?
