check HBB's review.
WOOPS my mistake ignore that then!!^HBB did Secret Garden not Secret Garden 3.
Looks good I still love my Carbo TenoreLest we forget from whence we came...
ZA is still around:
"ZIRCO (ZIRCO)" is a series of inner ear stereo headphones that adopt high strength and high resonance frequency zirconia for the main housing, and reproduce delicate and rich high resolution sound sources more clearly.

Zirconia + aluminum body Ultra compact dynamic screwdriver

ZIRCO PEZZO
Hi-Res zirconia
Adopted zirconia housing with high resonance frequency
Zirconia has a higher resonance frequency compared to a housing such as resin used for general earphone, and the influence of unnecessary resonance vibration on the sound source is greatly reduced. This makes it possible to transmit clear sounds and reproduce delicate and plentiful high resolution sound sources without leaving anything. The deep shine of jet black also glitteringly reflects the streamlined body line. The driver is equipped with a high-resolution dynamic driver with its own tuning. We tuned the ultra compact dynamic driver to the optimum spec for the zirconia housing, and will play the high res sound all the way from a luxurious glossy body.
Zirconia + Aluminum
Adopted zirconia and machined aluminum in the housing. Zirconia with a high resonance frequency is greatly reduced the influence of unnecessary resonance vibration on the sound source, which makes it possible to transmit clear sound and reproduce delicate and plentiful high resolution sound sources.
Ultra compact dynamic driver
The newly developed "ultra compact dynamic driver" reproduces the high-resolution sound source faithfully and abundantly from the deep bass to the transparent feeling high tone sound.
Improvement of right-and-left discrimination by "L - marker"
"L-marker" is adopted to make it possible to distinguish left and right of zero minimal and symmetrical housing design. "L - marker" is attached to the cord under the left side housing, and right and left identification is possible without visual confirmation.
New straight plug
Circle line applied to the surface of the aluminum cover plug smoothly supports insertion and removal of the output terminal smoothly without stress.
Use newly developed parallel code
Newly developed and adopted left and right independent OFC (oxygen free copper) parallel code. It enables transmission of pure sound source with less transmission loss, while also providing flexibility and durability.

Perhaps the Pezzo is a microdriver worthy of b9scramblers attention
I'm listening to PT25 now - burning them in since Tuesday. Does the player play & record FM radio in stereo? - they're usually mono only....Found this little player on ebay and decided I would be the guinea pig for it's since I have a use for a clip style sports player...
Interesting and seems great for run or ball playing regardless of the weather. It's just plain cheap($20-ish for 8gb, $30 for 16GB) so not afraid to expose it but it seems to be water resistant and the fast charge is pretty nuts at 5 minutes for 6 hours, 20 minutes for 38 hours. BT is 4.2 but you really don't need it being 1.5 x 1.46 x .39 inches. Still nice to have when you want to cut the cord esp. when it is time to bundle up. Searched for more images and found the clip is snap on and can be removed. Best part for me about a small clip player is the little volume knob right on the front flanked by the RW and FF buttons. Power button is on the top and separate as is the jack so phones plugged in won't make buttons tough to press...
Seems great for those left side chest pockets I have on a few jackets and hoodies as well as on the belt.
Some mumbo jumbo about the SQ and power...
but not expecting too much from something so small that can run for 38 hours. Just has to work as it should, be easy to use, and sound good enough. It does play WAV, FLAC, MP3 and all that...

We'll see when it come if it does make a tiny and versatile little beast to use outdoors and for exercise. Time to sweep up those leaves soon enough and should be something to match up with my incoming **** PT25 that just made it through customs. Player >>> FiiO shortcord MMCX(40CM) >>> PT25 seems a good set-up.
Thanks! I've been trying to decide on which pair to order..all day!
I remember your statement on the thread..but the most initial DS1 were only good, after that, it got weird in tuning. One was bassy(well that was still okay) and other was shouty(which bgvp sold as tn forum version) after some time
The secret gardens are in a league above in my opinion. The secret garden easily justify the price difference between the 2. They both are on the more fun side of the sound spectrum, but the secret garden is a tier or 2 above in nearly every sound and technical measure.
