as Mr. Wizard did say there are several youtube reviews one of them did compare them to the senheiser mtw2 he said their on the same level of sound but the falcon2s have more bass. honestly i really dont care of senhizer sound signature due to the flatness of bass

When I first received my Khan the stock cable was very tight and flush with the monitor. In order to try another cable it took quite an effort to remove the stock cable. Other cables I have tried have fit snug and deep in the socket. Now when I want to use the stock cable it does not want to seat and invariably falls off. Is there a special method of inserting the stock cable so that it sits flush and tight?

Whenever inserting or removing the cable, make sure to just push straight in or pull straight out. Trying to wiggle in or out puts lateral force on the sides of the sockets, which can alter their shape. Possibly one of the non stock cables you tried deformed the sockets, as not all 2-pin connectors are exactly the same size. If one of your other cables still fits in, just use that. Or if you are willing to risk damaging the stock cable, you can try to slightly flatten the pins with pliers.
Whatever you do, keep in mind that these tiny sockets are not meant for lots of pulling out and reinsertions. That goes for any iems brand and also mmcx connectors.

Thanks for that. In my case the pins on the stock cable go in easily but the connector body will not go down flush while 3 other cables will. Moon Black Dragon, Effect Audio Ares II, Penon OS849. As the original was such a tight fit from the factory I thought perhaps it was heated or something. I rather like the original cable sound with Symbio peel tips. I am using the Moon for now. Perhaps I will attach different 2 pin connectors.

Fixed.... took a nail file to the recessed part of the connector. Now it fits tight. I suspect the factory had less humidity which with insert pressure provided the ultra tight connection. Hope this may help others.

There are a few reviews out there now.
It excells in acoustic/vocals but it does have bass so it isn't boring.

hmm ok kinda where katana kinda excels ok once we get it in tokyo i'll have to demo it out i guess
Zephyr and Katana do sound excellent with similar styles of music as John mentioned above. katana is more analytical. Zephyr adds more emotion to the sound. Both are detailed. Katana has excellent BA sub bass. Zephyr has excellent DD mid and sub bass. Not overpowering bass but correct bass. Both IEMs are rather coherent.
