guys:
if, in a moment of weakness, i were to buy the KZ ES4 AND ED16, what are the best prices on ali today?

The best prices are US$12.50 and US$18.00 respectively. But they are both only seen on the phone app, computer based web browser won't show you those prices.

Good prices loomis....

Good prices loomis....

you are truly evil. and i am truly weak.

 

[mbwilson111]

you are truly evil

Did I forget to mention that?

I am strong! I do not have an ES4...but if it came in red...to match my ZS10...

...holding out for the purple one...yet to be released...

this one:

Oh, I should have noted that my tastes in music are progressive rock (Genesis, Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel)... That said, I just used Neutralizer

Thanks for the tip about Neutralizer. I like the same bands, and they demand good freqs across the board.

Ali is having mid year sale, and ZS10, Tinaudio T2 is about the same price at about $35, I really want to buy one more, I currently have ZS5v2. ZS6, ES4, E-MI C880 and like C880 the most, which of the three would you recommend to buy in this sale? I want a different sounding and an upgrade over C880, thanks!

Mr Johnson, just remember this hobby is less costly than collecting classic cars.

Hey guys. I may have asked this already can't remember. But with the sale going on, I'm curious.

I currently use the ZSR for live performances. Love the low end they give my drums. I also have the zs10 but haven't used them much live.

I keep hearing great things about the Es4. For those that have both, is there much difference between the Es4 and zsr?

I have es3 also that are backups to both my zsr and zs10. Just don't want to buy something and not have too much difference is all. Thanks!

What do you like about metal shell's so much? I'm always disappointed by an earbud in a shell like that.

An alloy type metal will last you longer, if taken care of. I've experienced many cracks on plastic-type earphones after several years, even if it was lightly used.

That's easy...get the ACZ KR06-6

Overall, excellent hi-end details/micro-details, crystal clear MID's, and fast punchy bass with excellent soundstage and resolution. Plus, detachable cables!

You are used to 5kHz, that's why the natural dip may sound unnatural....that's all

Do some sine test on waves


And then check your ear is to much damped at 5kHz, you listened songs at loud volume and that to complex tracks having snares....am I right


This issue can be solved by getting earplugs while you sleep or when you are alone....getting ear cleaned by doctor and getting some ear drops or oil, for ear....

Do you have any links/references on the lack of ear damping at 5kHz?

I'm not finding any of this information, in fact the Harman Target Curve shows that we want a 5kHz spike, especially when comparing In-Ear to On-Ear. This implies the pinna resonates around 5kHz, and we would expect a boost here with IEMs that bypass it. Relevant publications: 1 2 3 4. Also corroborates with the pinna-related transfer function method.

EDIT: you may be referring to the ear canal resonance from 7-10kHz that is ear canal depth + insertion depth dependent, and shows up in all IEM plots here but that is noticeably separate, and not something they should really try to compensate for, and they don't, as seen by the KZ plots here, as well as thephonograph and audiobudget, all which have slightly different peaks as expected.
