a lot of people have no idea how good Kanas Pro is, such a shame, it can compete with some flagships but is not very popular, well what can you do

This is the same for magaosi k6..

Can you copmare them to er4xr? I'm looking at these flr a while, but not many impresions available..

Kanas Pro
more pronounced bass with better decay, bigger soundstage, better separation, a bit more sparkle up top (not fatiguing at all), more airy, warmer and lively, isolation is pretty good with Spinfit double flange, male vocals sounds better and fuller

ER4XR
able to hit sub-bass level but decay is quick, better clarity, mids and female vocals are slightly more forward, much better isolation


The bass on the Kanas on first listen immediately reminded me of the CA Vega I once had.

Could give some words on z5000 ? They can be a basshead alternative to the likes of good sounding iems on the level of kanas etc ?

Z5000 are one of my most favorite iem regardless of price and #1 bass iem in my books. In stock form these sound super dark with mids too recessed for my taste. With a bit of EQ, these really shine. Compared to Kanas, the z5000 will still sound darker even with eq. Z5000 is my goto basshead iem but it also works very well for other genres too. Also, Z5000 has a kind of grainy analogue sound to it.

The k6 has been on my list to try also. I see you have an oriolus mk2 (I have the reborn). Could you please give a quick comparison between the mk2 and k6?

bisonicr's review of the NiceHCK FW6 (another 6BA in the veins of HK6, 2 Knowles mid-low range BA and 4 unknown BA for highs)

a mid-focused IEM, it seems, despite the 4BA for highs.

The k6 grabs my attention as a possible alternative to dm6, magaosi says that is the same philosophy of k5, wich people said to have better mid range-teble transition than dm6. But with a even better bass tha dm6 with 2 knowles for bass.

But is is also +300$, a no-go for me

Let's see. To me the K6 has an upper win for detail retrieval that's simply because it's a W sound sig. For treble, k6 wins. It extends far.. further than dm6 also. But some may not like this sound sig as it can be genre specific. Mid is smooth and warmish but not as organic and forward as oriolus. Vocals are not forward but part of the mix. May not be bad bere. In the bass department k6 has more layers and definition however don't expect it to go as low as oriolus as we're comparing dd and ba driven bass. But what we have with the k6 is more defined bass. Sound separation wise, k6 is excellent in it, I think it could be bit too much separation. Not sure if there's such a thing.

I am using ares ii with my oriolus + mandarin peel and stock cable on k6 + aet08.

Both has the same cable and accesories.. i think they could be manufactured in the same factory.

So what's the "S" upgrade because so many actually loved the original it01! Sure would hate to think it's really a downgrade with just a new and improved sticker on it Maybe "Shiny metallic purple armour"

THX @drbluenewmexico , I hope you are right on the DM6
