With the nice sub-bass and overall clarity in the KPE, it sounds very good with movies/tv. FYI, Switched to KZ "Starline" tips on the KPE to get better bass/seal myself...
- I have no experience with the W30.

I wish someone would invest in the A8s. I would pay double their price for their quality. Absolutely phenomenal amazing IEMS! I don't listen to my other stuff much anymore. They are so so good.

Good luck mate! I also needed to send it back to the seller. At least the good news is the seller shipped back my pair yesterday saying it's already fixed. It took about 2 weeks to repair it (also there was the labour holiday which delayed a bit too).

To me seems like not much change from KPE but closer to Oxygen graphs. Though, low-mids and mid-bass seems slightly more present on latter by graphs.A graph of the KXXS found in this video https://www.bilibili.com/video/av52007607?from=search&seid=5980458618321943170
Not sure KXXS is straight "upgrade" from KPE.
This is just silly from my part, but I've photoshopped this graph into the crinacle's FR just for the "lols":
1) It's not the same rig
2) It's not matched at 1 kHz
3) It's useless
4) Take with a huge grain of salt
The sub-bass looks stronger on KXXS but I don't know the compensation the guy used. At least it looks at the mids the peak has a different shape going towards Oxygen style more well-rounded shape.
Btw, on this bilibili.com posted above there are some KXXS' unboxing videos, really cool.

I think you can make the IEM work as a home theater system if you use sound virtualization.

Even taken with a huge grain of salt this is interesting. If the KXXS is really boosted more in the sub bass and 2,5kHz region I think I will pass.
I would have wished for a boost in the 200-600 region.
That said, Crinacle's measurement of the KPE looks different in the bass range from that posted on headflux. The Headflux graph is much closer to the KXXS in that range.
IMO, A8 is in beast mode when it paired with Violet. It sounds richer, high is more extend and smooth, more lively. I almost sell my A8 when it still with stock cable. Sounds good, but feels like something empty.

Took me a few weeks to adjust to them. If I had one bit of advice, make sure you use large bore tips to boost mids. Then watch out!
