I have passed air through the rear vents on my ZAX and felt it go out the other side. I've been able to stick the bristles of a fine brush through the vent holes and see them enter the shell of the IEM. I don't think it gets any more empirical than that.

KZ has done a semi-open design before, it's the ZS7.

Sorry, but I don't think the ZS7 is semi-open. If I cover the grills there's absolutely no change in the sound whatsoever.

There's a debate about the ZAX being semi-open or not in the KZ thread right now...

Bro, if things are literally passing through the vents uninterrupted, then it's vented. It's time to put that question to rest.

Sure, I've been keeping an eye on the other thread as well. Look, from the day the ZAX was announced, there have been questions about whether the vents are real. Now those of us who have the actual item are saying the vents are indeed exposed to the open air and providing documentary proof. Maybe this fact makes no difference whatsoever. Maybe any differences that there might be are below the threshold of auditory change detection. What I primarily care about is not what the vents are doing, but how the things sound overall. Besides, there are literally 8 drivers per side, only 1 of which benefit in any way from the vented design, so I don't know how there is supposed to be some kind of massive change if all the drivers are meant to work together as a cohesive unit.

Dont worry, im not against the buyers but I definitely am against IMR.
Same. I am against IMR because of the Trinity saga and also copying Acoustune design. Regardless of how good sound IMR IEMs have, I strongly advice all to avoid the brand. Ethics first. :thumbsup:

I think many people are hoping they will shut down during this pandemic. Extremely unethical business. In addition, huge shame to those who review IMR products to give them more public exposure.

Life without ethics would be meaningless. If those people at IMR have now made money then pay back what you tricked people out of. You might feel wealthy now but Karma will follow like a shadow.

Ethics is number one for sure. Do the right thing even if no one is watching you. I simply don't understand how they have the conscience to continue after scamming people.

On a sidenote, been busy with work so less time to review/post new gears. There are quite a number of IEM gems I want to share with everyone. Will keep you guys posted. Happy listening! :)
