yeah… the advertisement department was probably high when writing thatI don't have 1000 USD iem
Just grabbed a cheap pair of PR1 Pro, and as a woman who really does not like IEMs normally, these are really just a fun listen. The foam tips they came with were painful though, replaced with a pair of Complys and a Tripowin cable. They really sing off of the Mojo. These are probably endgame IEM for me, just because I can't realistically see myself spending more on workout/casual headphones. But they are quite fun.

Now that my fascination with the PR2 has faded somewhat - I still find it to be a brilliant IEM - I decided to give my trusty ZAX a workout.
It's just as good as I recall, after some correction EQ is applied that is, and I'm very happy to own it still.
Speaking of ZAX correction EQ, here's one I made for it recently based upon Harman 2019 v2 and USound. By the way, thanks to whoever posted the target originally - I've made good use of it.

Please, can anyone tell me if it is normal: I ordered Krila from kztws on July 7 and on the next day I received a tracking number but on kztws it said "Fulfillment Status: Fulfilled"
I used to track my order up until July 11. Then the tracking number changed and the last status was "Last mile=> China Post, Tracking number: xxxxx" and it haven't changed since then. I tried to track the order from kztws chat bot, but it says that the order is fulfilled. Tried to contact kz support but they didn't answer. Do I need to just wait and relax or there is something wrong? That's my first time ordering from kztws. I usually order from aliexpress without problems with delivery and order status changes pretty quick and I can track every step.
Try a third party tracking site, sometimes that will confirm if the item hasn't actually been dispatched.

They are great! But it takes time to get used to them, tho. They got lost in popularity in b/w the ocean of PR2 hype train.Just grabbed a cheap pair of PR1 Pro, and as a woman who really does not like IEMs normally, these are really just a fun listen.

For me the upper mids and presence regions is kind of an issue with few tracks, that kind of sharp rise bites randomly in vocals or cymbals. This issue is there with QoA Gimlet as well but is better masked due to more bass coming into the mids. The new KZ Krila kind of solves it.
So what was the pr2 conclusion, did the variations kill the hype?

For around $45 (less on sale) it the best planar on the planet. Try not to act surprised!
If you still take KZ hype as gospel, boy do I have a bunch of deals for you! EVERY month.
Still, worse planars have sold for a lot more.

Generally yeah. I can use them and like them with foams. I think they are worth it if you can use foams.So what was the pr2 conclusion, did the variations kill the hype?

Still daily drive mine over PR1 Pro mostly due to the vocal positioning.Generally yeah. I can use them and like them with foams. I think they are worth it if you can use foams.

For me without EQ the pr2s (V2) were kind of like a novelty toy. Really cool at first but then they started to frustrate me. Sometimes I just couldn't bare to listen to them because they were so bright.
My EQ on them is very dark compared to stock and I really like them that way. Much more natural sounding now, for my tastes.
Last night I was in bed listening to some random playlist and the song below came on. The soundstage and imaging for this track on my pr2s was like nothing I've ever heard before on an item. It kind of blew my mind, I'm going to have to try the track on some other sets later and see if it's the same. Definitely give this track a go if you want to test soundstage

CCA Duo
apparently a dual DD (2 x 7mm)

The shell looks really nice, tough according ian, only the faceplate is metal so the the rest of it is either resin or plastic.

Another KZ-CCA with an actual name. As Hifri pointed out, Krila was the first. A step forward in the right direction? Now they just have to be consistent, and stop doing silent revisions that drastically alter, degrade the FR and signature of their popular IEMs (e.g. CRA, PR2).CCA Duo
