Any review on it? Though ive read a kind of slow mid bass which probably not for me

Do you mean the ORB?

@RikudouGoku My suggestion would be if you don't have an MMCX balanced cable, then buy one for the Z5. I ordered a nice upgrade balanced cable, and they sound so much better out of my R5. I had a cheapo balanced cable that came with the Z5, but it wasn't the best sonically, but with this one, it really woke up the sleepy treble, and helped to tighten up the low end. Very enjoyable listen now.

I will leech one of my faaeal cables that I use for some other iem for the Z5. Just unsure if the mmcx cable will fit the Z5 well, as I believe Sony´s mmcx is a bit more unique than most are.

If that doesn't work, you can simply search in aliexpress. Focus Vocal.

Haven't tried m1 pro. But m2 pro is a good midfi set for earbuds. Has two tuning modules to give a neutralish bright versus v shaped tuning (it is easy to fix the modules). The silicone versus foam covers can further give changes to soind signature. Timbre is good but not the absolute classleader in technical performance.

To complicate matters, u can buy different driver units to install inside the m2 pro, but this needs soldering skills. So more tuning options and permutations too. It can be worn cable down or over ears, the cable provided is very good quality too.

I'd recommend buying the m2 pro parts individually and soldering it yourself for a solid extra discount, or just getting the DIY package
I myself ordered the shell, wire, both tuning modules, cable and the black gold driver to basically have a budget s10s gold (I'm confident the bass won't extend as much nor sound as good due to not having that fancy labyrinthian acoustic cavity, but otherwise the driver is excellent from what I've heard.

Soldering earbuds does not take skill, you just have a soldering iron that isn't garbage, I usually set it to 350 degrees, poke some solder to tin the wire, poke the wire against the correct terminal, and repeat, done. ezpz.

especially great is needing no glue for the m2 pro due to the screw on design.

You may get a few little burns on your fingers, and struggle a bit if you have stubby sausage fingers, but it doesn't take skill at all.
