Yeah, the KBear NEON. I've been meaning to listen to that again.

All mids and treble. \o/

Do you think we can convince KZ to bring back Starline tips and discontinue the nasty white ones supplied with the latest KZ/CCA models? I fitted Starlines to the NRA and the sound was transformed.

+1. The crappy white ones do add some extra brilliance to the treble for my ears, but I have to sit really still before even the large size falls out. They're just too flimsy. Starlines are great, otherwise, and I EQ anyway

edit: found a link where KZ for Starlines sold separately, for next to nothing at that. I will toss a couple boxes in on my next order.

The mystery is that KZ is using starlines on the EDX Pro, but white starlines, but seems like they are not using on ZEX and/or NRA.

So, you guys might remember when I got the DQ6 and started playing around with it and managed to create my DIY foam mod?

Well, looks like there is a better and more consistent mod out there.

Both the (old) Hana and the Oxygen filter works great.

I say the Hana filter works better. But the Oxygen filter is included in the Tanya (and also sold separately on Penon) and is quite similar to my DIY foam mod (might be a bit warmer though).

Epic set. promoted from (modded) rank A to S-.

Never modded IEMS, how this filter thing works?

Simply put on the filter on the iem nozzle.

Mine AZ09 sucks. Connection drop alot even when the transmitter like 1ft away from it.
What I like from AZ09 better than BT20s pro are:
1. Much compact size, hard shell case and better IEM placement inside the case. On the bt20s pro, your iem will get squished out and if the case got crushed by something quite heavy, it can break the iem.
2. The module is smaller and lighter than bt20s pro.
3. The fit on the AZ09 is better and also it doesn't move around much if you are running or jumping than bt20s pro. The bt20s pro seems loose and just hang there. I did try bench pressing with it and the module since it is heavy, it tends to hang loose.
4. The AZ09 has higher output than bt20s pro, but this can also make the hiss more pronounce in sensitive iem.
Now for bluetooth range, the bt20s pro wins by a margin. It has AptX instead of just sbc and aac. Battery life from bt20s pro is around 6 hours+, can't say about the AZ09 as I haven't had the chance to try it for longer than 30 minutes and had to take it off because of connection dropping.
From my experience from KZ bluetooth anything, their connection is kind of suck imho. I have the bluetooth cable (HD and non HD) and the connection will cut out when you hold the module in your hand even when your source like besides it. Tried to cupped both my ears while using the AZ09 and true enough, the connection will cut out.

Any sense if the AZ09 Pro is any better? I agree 100% about the AZ09 BT issues. I’m hoping the pro version might be a little better.

I don't know. Is the pro version come out already? At home, the AZ09 is okay, but when I went outside, the connection got really really bad.

Oh more expensive than the original AZ09. Does it have AptX? All I see is they have a B-pin and C-pin option now.

 

[r31ya]

Finally they used the "now" standard QC3040...
It should be good. Do QC3040 support LDAC?

btw if 3040 is the "Pro", the QC5100 will be AZ09 Pro pro?

Btw KZ seems to relatively release this in silence? KZ VX10
It came with interesting claim

Not sure about AptX.

I do hope this graph is not real. Contrary to their claims that this is "infinitely close to the Harman curve".

The 30+ dB pinna gain is gonna sound like a shrieking banshee.

According to this, it does have AptX. Hope it’s true.
