Dont know if I can really call this "burn in" since I only did it with my own music (around 1k songs) but yeah, gonna see if Gearbest is accomodating

Hello guys, received my ES4 two weeks ago and burned em without a prior listening. Finished burning in yesterday and finally started to listen to them. I was hyped, until I noticed there's a huge hissing/whispering in the left ear that is not present on the right side. I know there's supposed to be some in the track to an extent, checked with my ZS5v1. Do I have a faulty/wonky pair ?

You’re not one of those people to burn in at 100% volume are you?

I call it burn it... that is how I burn things in... with my own music at normal listening levels. I listen at low to moderate volume. I always put in the iems, make sure I have a good seal and adjust the volume before leaving them to burn in. I often use my Ruizu A50 DAP for this purpose as the battery lasts for 20 hours. I charge it as needed during the burn in. I do let it rest for a few minutes now and again.

No of course not, LMAO

I wish I did though, had a defective unit anyway

That's what I did for 100 hours

Hi guys, could anyone tell if the Tinaudio T2's cable would work fine with the KZ ED16? I am planning to buy both of these, and was thinking whether I'd need to buy the upgraded cable for the KZs or would the T2's cable be compatible.

Thank you.

In a word, NO

Nope, totally different cables:

• KZ and TRN cables are 0.75mm 2-pin cables.
• Tin Audio T2 uses MMCX cable.

Don't feel like you HAVE to buy the upgraded KZ cables. The stock cables work perfectly fine in most cases.

Most people buy the various upgrade KZ cables because of other reasons - some are different colors, some of them can be converted to balanced by soldering on a new plug, less microphonics, etc.

In fact, some people WANT the stock cables, because it is the only way to get a mic/control cable with the 2-pin KZs. None of the KZ upgrade cables come with a mic/controls.

None of the KZ upgrade cables come with a mic/controls.

Which just seems so silly to me. Wonder why.

Thanks for the replies guys, and could you tell whether $35 and $18 are decent asking prices for the t2 and the ed16 respectively, or should I wait for the prices to drop?

Thank you.

Actually, those are very good prices. The T2 rarely drops this low, so jump on it! Also, $18 is a very good price for the ED16. I paid more than that for the one I ordered, but it is with mic...

Audiobudget just posted his ED16 review.

I always wonder what headphones he uses on a daily basis. I wish he would let it slip out... since the Zircon is no longer a favorite.

 

[SHAMuuu]

this is one funny review


anyone have such issues with fit where they JUST GAVE UP on these?

i think maybe he should have gotten some foamies, but is there cable issue with it pooping out?

He probably changes it up, like most of us who have loads to pick from.

I try to switch out my ‘daily driver’ on at least a weekly basis.

I find when I do that, I discover new or subtle things about the IEM that I might have missed the 1st time/OOTB. And some that I initially disliked I find aren’t all that bad when I rotate through them later (or they are worse than I remember).

Perhaps some just improve as they get more music hours racked up due to burn in.
