(My english skills are a bit rusty, sorry for that in advance)
Hey, there. I'm new here and i just received my first IEM. KZ ES4.
Maybe my espectations were a bit higher, or maybe i'm evalutating them wrong.
I had already a 10 years old pair of earbuds (1 neodymium driver 9mm each) , and i'm using them as a comparasion.
The amount of bass frequency is the same
Mids are somewhat lacking, and there are to much highs for my taste.
Now, my old earbuds were a 80$ pair, and the KZ ES4 only costs 15$.
Thinking like that, in that case they exceed a lot my expectations, but if i think as they have the same performance as a 10y old pair of earbuds, eh.
However, they are beautiful and confortable, and the detachable cable is amazing (i got the extra white cable as a early pre-order)
I'm looking for some criticism of my way of thinking.
Edit: I'm using the ALC1220 as amplifier, also, seems that they are getting better over-time.
