They're the OEM for NICEHCK, right? Thought I heard something in the past connecting the two. Their cables are quite nice; been eyeing some of the 4-core models myself. Good to know they're a smart choice.
Yeah, they are and the OEM for some other brands I believe.

Yeah, price performance on the X6 is one of the highest in the hobby. godlike

I'm gonna be the anti-hyper for this one. I listened Yincrow X6 for a few minutes then gave it straight to a family member, it was a bit of muddy sound as I recall. They might sound different with higher power, but that was my first impression. Granted I did like the color scheme. Ordered the red one with yellow cord.

Don't make premature decisions, let them "work" for a few days. This is a recommendation for any model, not just the X6

Chuck Norris doesn't come for you. The universe brings you to Chuck Norris.

Another one converted. Or at least introduced to the bud world 😁.
@RikudouGoku is like vampire🧛‍♂️:bat:. He likes to "bite" IEM users.
In this case they not need to drink blood but to listen X6 to achieve complete transformation

Good question. Highs on the Zen LL are well extended, though smooth and not harsh or sibilant even on high volume.
The sound signature is rather balanced, somewhat warm, some people would call it analog sounding :wink:. I would not call it dark, and I define dark as rolled off highs with stronger low end emphasis.
Even the resolution is pretty good.
I would say it pairs superbly with E1DA 9038D, which has non-colored highly detailed output.


I have only the Standard version of Zen LL.

Thank you!

Do you have the Monk lite 120 Ohm as well? If so, would you say the LL is an upgrade from the lite?

I will grab the zen LL if it has better high extension than the lite.

The X6 is the perfect portal into this fun underworld!

I don't have the Monk lite 120 ohm.
I would say it is not a clear upgrade as they are from different product lines, Monk and Zen, with different tunings. I've noticed most people here dislike the Monk tuning, though apparently the Monk lite 120 ohm responds well to equalization.
I am completely satisfied with the Zen LL tuning, it really shines with classical music.

I have the Monk Lite 120 ohm on the way—and it has been for 50-some-odd days. Looks to be turning circles somewhere in China. it‘s officially my last order from AliExpress.

Strange... Usually VE ships take around 10 days or less to get to me.
