Feels like this getting out of hands lol. I don't think you misunderstand me or anything ok? I'll explain my point of view.
I understand that Z300 competing Cadenza in price and tuning, maybe Wan er and Tinhifi C2, blon bl03 and lot of similar price set, but the question is, how can they hold their ground againist more expensive iem?
That's the point!
I don't think it's unfair to compare 2 iem from different priced tag, if budget iem worse, it's expected, but if expensive iem is worse, it's bad for them. If i say my Tanchjim Ola bass have better technicality than Hookx which is Planars and planars know for it's tech, do you think someone willing to buy Hookx anymore?
It doesn't mean that you're wrong, but i think it better to compare with all kind of price tag to understand the actually value of an iem, i mean, SR5 better than Gaea according to
@s2kphile which is 10 times the price of SR5!
Also i said this
Not only comparing to similar price, also higher price! That's why we still have to compare to EA500 or JD7
