How does this compare to the Simgot EA1000 and Chopin?
Actually compared against EA1000 since they sit at same price. Read in review :beerchug:

I'm trying the PR3.
They seem to me to be much more emphasized in the high and mid tones and much brighter than the PR2
(the first batch, the one with the mesh).
I would say they are vocal centric.

I don't want to write nonsense
(because I don't understand much of it),
but they seem to provide a good sensation of soundstage, at least in width.

From the point of view of required power,
they are a little lighter than the PR2
(look at the difference in volume to get more or less the same sensation of perceived volume).

It would be interesting to have the opinion of some of the
great reviewers we have here.

I saw you speak about the Big Panda earlier. Does it offer anything the Let. 12 or Timeless doesn't?
Well, it is specialized as far as vocals go, never heard the Timeless, and is unique as far as being different than the S12 Pro. Way smaller and lighter, less bass.

I can confirm the Hexas are great for Jazz if we’re talking my preferences, they are absolutely crystal clear and very clean sounding bordering on sterile but that’s what I enjoy about them so much. Fantastic layering and definition for their price range. They do have a touch of warmth to help with adding body to the standup bass and sax, but not a ton. They also fit me fan-freaking-tastically And provide probably the best sound isolation out of all the sets I own.
Well if that isn't a ringing endorsement from a jazz fan then I don't what is. I was even thinking the truthear zero: red. But for $20 more I could get the hexas. Especially since I've read more comparisons of the set to the Blessing2.

Thanks for the info.

If the S12 Pro is out of your budget, you should look at the ARTII T10. There is a 20% off coupon on Amazon right now for it which brings it to $55 USD before taxes (assuming you live in the US). They sound very very similar, I'm super impressed with it. The bass should be a lot more satisfying compared to the PR3, which I like for the $29 I paid for it but it definitely needs a boost.
Never heard of them but I'll look into them though. That price point is nice. Thanks for the rec. And I'm glad it's not just me that thinks the bass needs boosted on the pr3. I'm waiting for an eq preset to pop up on wavelet for it them. It doesn't seem like too many people have them yet though.

Happy to help, brother. I prefer maybe a touch more warmth when it comes to Jazz recordings but the Hexa is probably next to perfect for it.

I agree with your comments about the soundstage. I have not heard the PR2 so can not say whether the PR3 is brighter but I really like the PR3's treble. Very nice macro shots though!

That's a few people saying the PR3 is bright. Now is it EW200 bright, which is borderline bright due to lack of warmth, or is it Sands bright, which is HOLY CRAP this is bright (as in it needs to be modded) bright?

It's not as bright as the EW200. If you can handle that IEM you can handle PR3.

Akros KZ PR3 review is up​



Crazy, so there is a murder treble version of PR3, dumpster tuning version and one that resembles KZ's graphs? Yeowza...

some KZ also seems to be source sensitive,

I remember there is a case with AS16Pro whose third party graph didn't match the official graph.
after some discourse, there is one reviewer whose AS16pro graph resemble the official graph, which at the time was attributed not to QC lottery, but due to he power it from relatively powerful Tri TK2.

later people found out with Impedance adapter, they could get their AS16pro to resemble the official graph.
---
So when there is insistence from KZ that their iem graph match the official graph, there is question what gear they used to get that graph. because alteration in the gear might affect the end result third party FR.

KZ did get better later but yeah...
