How is gk100 compared to this god tier treble set called Lz A6? Lz A6 is an old set but it has the most extended treble I've ever had in any set till date though sometimes the treble might too much on some tracks.

I own A7, and I'd say after some years it never fully lost that metallic highs timbre. Here GK100 sounds more roud and refined in the highs. Though less bassy (compared to LZ A7 pop switch, red filter), the highs sound more appealing and correctly extended to me, way less harsh.

I have a couple of nice tribrid IEMS having EST drivers for treble, but still like LZ-A6 which has amazing treble presence. I assumed that piezo and EST may have different way of treble handling, and wondering if I can add another Piezo BA DD tribrid (better than LZ-A6) into my rotation. Noble Kublai Khan would be a higher end piezo tribrid for sure, but I am more inclined to budget options then GK100 (or GK200) got my attention. I will buy either 100 or 200 based on how several first impressions come out regarding GK200. Another very underappreciated option is LZ-AX, which is a very interesting set as it has both EST and Piezo (quadbrid!) but it has too less reviews or impressions. Anyway, can't wait to try another set with Piezo treble!

Wish i had something with EST tweeters to compare treble delivery. If all goes good and we get some bonus august time ill maybe grab something around variations price point there are few iems around that price id like

Im looking at

Those look great would be nice with my golden frieza running gear haha

All around my maximum cut of price for IEM. With my permament Tinnitus in left ear i will never be able to hear full potetntial of most IEM's. **** im just happy i regained hearing at all after sinuses infection.... Could not understand human speach for a week my brain had to re learn listening of any type of sound. At least no ringing in right ear.
But still want tohave a go on something with EST as im missing something. For now PR2 Came in monday gotta say this will be hard tio beat by anything sub 50 bucks in my opinion. Some very nice tuning love the bass delivery nice rumbly not overkill.

The GK100 actually beats 2 other similarly priced piezo containing sets in the BQEYZ Winter and LZ A7 in technicalities. The BQEYZ Winter is advertised to have a bone conduction driver for the treble, but it looks like a piezo actually on actual performance/specs.

Even if these are not in the same level, I'm interested in your comparison between gk100 and PR2

I did a simple mod on my LZ A6 and it became a monster of a set. If you don't mind to know I can share it with you.

I have a few piezo tribrids, you may want to have a look at the BQEYZ SUMMER. Also the SFR MT300 is superb and I believe there is now a Pro version of that.

I also have LZ-A6. Which set do you consider to be an upgrade to Lz A6? I have tried different sets below and slightly above it in price but LZ A6 gave all of them KO.

Hi Sorry for the late response. I think that LZ A6 is unique in a sense that it has a very airy treble presentation, and I haven't found any IEM does the same. I don't have that much higher end IEM experience other than MEST and Monarch, which are not necessarily better than A6. If you're happy with A6, I would not look further and spend > 1k$ for an upgrade.

Hmm... I seriously doubt if performer 8 can do any better.
