So Lockheed has the SR-71 and I have the M-71 I believe this song title says it all for these babies

i am looking for a balanced IEM under 20$ from KZ. Any recommendations?

I'd say the CCA C10 sounds pretty ballanced to my ears their £19 on Ali so maybe 23usd, worth the stretch for a pretty sorted 5 driver IEM

no there are no adapters used there, just plug it directly from KZ ZSX to TRN BT20 bluetooth module. But because of the different connector (ZSX use 2 pin Para C type connector, and that TRN BT20 similar to 2 pin para B) so they are a bit sticking out. Yes I hate this look also, but no other choice since TRN only come out with this type or mmcx

Ahhh it looked like it because on the picture it looks like there is transparant plastic. Or there is and put it yourself there.

the transparent plastic is the female housing of ZSX connector, they are sticking out by default and the cable which has male connector, should has cover to protect that female housing. Its called 2 pin Para C

Whats wrong with just clipping the two long pins so the fit is tight?

That's a nice gold cable, it would look great on my C12 lol. Where did you get it?

 

[TechnoidFR]

I was afraid comments like this would surface... ZS7 has been my fav, must... resist...

For me, each Iem have his personality. I love the zs7 personality, but with the same approach than zs7 I prefer **** Topaz.

ZSX is more refined, less ample, more balanced. It's different

Just a thought that popped into my head when I read your statement...

If anyone had said that exact same statement 5-6 years ago, they would have been laughed out of HeadFi and committed to the looney bin lol

And now here we are today, with the ability to buy 5, 6, and even 8 driver IEMs with braided SPC removable cables for $40-$70. Not to mention planar IEMs.

What a time to be alive

Thats a silver colored TRN 16-core cable.

It’s a beautiful cable - made well, looks badass, flexible and soft, and has a cool silver carbon fiber plug.

Ah! I already have one of those! I'm looking for a gold coloured one for the C12! The silver one looks great with my ZSX.

Hey Nim, not sure if TRN makes it in a gold color! Senor Slater is correct mine is more of a Pewter gray but indeed a nice cable. Can't tell you who I got it from either or I could be erased

Thank you China, an embodyment of how communism (small c) can work for the people. Can't see 'western' companies (Sennheiser, Beats, Shure, Sony etc etc) making such budgetary sacrifice to make products even close in quality for even 3 times the price. I'd say I'm glossing over their labour costs but most of the above make their products in China anyway

I received my ZS7 a week ago from Amazon.

Woah. What kind of tips are those?

Triple flangers, PM me a mailing address and I'll send you half dozen

@Slater , not just multi BA iem's but Chi-Fi in general

Listen to this man. I just went through about 30 pages of this thread, and people are extolling the virtues of the C10 in its price category. It seems to have a polite and somewhat relaxed sound, decent bass with good detail for the price. It's worth going the extra $3.

[It's warmer than some of the other KZ alternatives, and more 'fun,' so it's less neutral but fairly pleasing.]
