On sound quality, yes they are side grade, although there are things that might not be replicated exactly with eq between them. If you like a more V shaped and a but more energetic sound you could buy the MK2, but otherwise you could skip it would be insane!

Fixed that for you :)

yes, at that price it's easy and logical to go all out pokemon on the willsounds :k701smile:

"All out pokemon" - I like that!

I just love the MK2 timbre, fullness and musicality. And even though they might be v-shaped to some degree, I still love their mids and how uncongested and open they sound. All out pokemon indeed!

edit: I say the above without having heard any high end earbuds except for Zen 1 & 2, so that is to be factored in to my all out pokemoning. But, at the moment, I have no desire to get any other high enders :)

How would you rate the Zen 2.0 to the MK2?

I have the Asura 2.0s which I feel the MK2 to be superior, and it being of a way lower impedance (150 vs 32ohms) is definitely a plus for me as well...

I will get back to you on that.

Can someone help me the Shozy clones that are around. i read few times that there are same shell buds on Ebay that have a very similar sound under 30$. I can't find that info on HeadFi... Any help will be appreciated.

Shozy Cygnus or BK? Because I consider them in different leagues.

Buds like DIY PK2, PK2 Panda sound more equivalent to Cygnus maybe. I consider the BK a level above these buds. That’s my impression anyway. Until I get to hear the Willsound PK32 :)

I hear that the driver of black version 1, 2, 3 are different.
And I think that parhaps the the driver of black version 3, 4, 5 are same, and only color of shells or cables are different.

Thanks. Perhaps it's fair to assume 3 and 4 are the same since the product description doesn't distinguish between them on a technical basis. I contacted NICEHCK yesterday to clarify if there's a difference, but haven't heard back from them. If they reply, I'll post their response.

@jogawag, you were correct. Jim at NiceHCK responded that DIY PK2 version 3 and version 4 have the same cable, but different color shells. So, they're aesthetically different, but technically the same.

LOL Zen 2.0 is at least $150

i have the mk2 and Zen 2, also Asura 1. Zen 2 and MK2 has a very different sound signature that you can't really compare them apple to apple. the Zen 1 (from memory) might be closer to MK2.
i like them both for different songs. Zen 2 is mid centric and warm sounding. MK2 is more V shaped with excellent subbass and more revealing treble than the Zen 2.
also any kind of foams (even the thinnest) with the Zen 2 will muffle the sound. only use them with no foams

Chinmie has said he prefers the MK2 over K’s Samsara which was roughly $130-150 too right?

Maybe it’s a TOTL killer ^^

i still think so :k701smile:
