are the DQ6 and the NM2+ comparable?
ive personally never heard the NM2+, but just keep in mind that the DQ6 is an entry/budget level $20 earphone.

Oh, that looks so good, I would like to hear them. I have ZS10 Pro, first ZSN and ZSX.
Personally, I really like KZs in terms of construction, they would be huge killers if they hit the sound because the fit, the construction and the accessories are better than the competition (Blon, I'm looking at you ... your cable looks like an offense) .
I'm actually facing a dilemma, now I have the BL-01 and I like it because it's very musical and silky, I would like to know if it's time to get rid of them by betting on DQ6.

DQ6 is easier to drive, has a much better cable and some chance of fitting without aftermarket tips. It's totally slightly brighter and seems to have better technicalities than the BL01. Soundstage is more restricted though. It's very intimate.
I've not done any serious comparative listening between the two yet though. One doesn't stand out as being a whole lot "better" than the other. Just "different". To my ears the Blon is a tad more comfortable, and the unit itself seems better built, but that's so subjective I'm not even gonna commit to that.
Thanks for your words. In your opinion, which has the best note tone and timbre?
That's very true but I'd bet that most people could consider a seriously budget IEM as endgame or virtually endgame if the tuning and tonality fitted their exact requirements completely. From what I've heard of the DQ6, it's definitely gonna be that for somebody.
Yes, I agree, the BA10 is really special. The bass is more dynamic-like and the midrange timbre is excellent. Treble is more dialled back with no BA in the nozzle. KZ's finest to date IMO.Hmm, I will admit KZ has had an off day (model) every once in a while but can't agree totally on the BA thing cause these babies right here are in my top 5 iem's ever and once again my favorite all BA iem period Not that I'm doubting you as "We all do hear them just a little differently" but I still believe KZ hits far more out the park for the buying dollar than not
I'll tell you something else, this entire setup cost me a whopping $112 w/cable and will wipe the floor on some $300 rigs I own (at least as I hear it) but of course ymmv

You musn't forget we hang around a highly critical audio forum. Go into any supermarket's audio section; I am quite sure even KZ ATE will still dominate in terms of sound value, if not being TOTL for some of their buyers. Headfiers are fussy!Will it stagnate, or will the likes of the DQ6 and the Blon BL01 sound as bad a couple of years from now as the KZ ZS10 sounds now?

IMO, the 2 smaller drivers in DQ6 is too conservatively tuned; there's still headroom in them. Throwing in a brighter cable from your collection, or EQing the highs can eke out still more performance from the pair. IMO, the overall sound gets more vibrant and cleaner, but losing some warmth.Actually I find the DQ6 to be more musical and has better vertical imaging. The NM2+ sounds more 2D to my ears but quite a bit faster and a lot more technical. Thou some may find the DQ6 'boring'.
