New Head-Fier
Hello guys. I want to know if FiiO FH1 is worth buying. And how much better or worse they are in comparison to these KZ IEMs.
That's not what I want to hear... Do I have to buy EDR2 now? No... I hope not.I got my EDR1 today to compare with my EDR2. Both are a steal, excellent sound and build quality. By the way, after a quick listen I'd say the two sound very similar with a slight edge to the EDR2.
I got my EDR1 today to compare with my EDR2. Both are a steal, excellent sound and build quality. I can't tell you how bad the EDR1 sounded with the stock tips. Why does KZ sell such great headphones with tips that range from fair to poor. They have never made tips that I found useable. Talk about a fatal flaw. I'm sure that the vast majority of consumers don't know anything about tip rolling, so they've got something that sounds like garbage and will never know how great it really is. Clean up your act KZ - If JVC, Sony and Spinfit can make quality tips, why can't you. By the way, after a quick listen I'd say the two sound very similar with a slight edge to the EDR2.

I find Spin-fits, KZ Star-lines, Foams (Comply), and the occasional Spiral-dot cover pretty much the gamut of tips for me. If I cant find on in those 4 that works, chances are tip-rolling any further is not going to yield any miracles.
I can echo this and it's what immediately stuck out to me when I got the Noble X. Where the ES4 feels like there's some detail there, the Noble X will turn a tone into a twang on guitars. The ES4 does have a bit of a veil, but I think that's inherent to most pairs of IEMs that get classified anywhere close to "warm" or "laid back."Now the bad part - it is hard to describe but somehow whole sound of ES4 seems to be covered with somekind of haze/fog/blanket or whatever I would call it.
It misses lot of micro-detail and guitar riffs sound somewhat muddy due to that. I suspect it has lot to do with "crossover" resistors and modding nozzle/vents/grills wont help much.
It like it could use some highs by-pass caps/resistors to sound right and wake up clarity/micro-details within whole fr.

Auvio wide bores should be on that list for sure.
