HK6 and DZ12
Two brothers from the same mother. I have to admit my normal rotation of earphones I listen to got a serious wrench thrown into it.

Yes, that is on my short list. Interested in the tfz queen too all of a sudden. I wish I was rich or all these earphones were 20 bucks a piece.

I was waiting for the secret garden by TFZ.. now im confused by the queen.

@Dsnuts It's time you get some fancy iem cases for your fancy iems!

Actually the mini otter box case that came with the DZ12 is very cool. Just big enough to fit the earphones and cables. I is approximately 2"X3" I always found the standard sized otterbox cases a bit large and are not pocket able.

Don't think these are anything special sound quality wise but the design is nice.

That's a whole lot of questions

I think it's fairly reasonable to ask for a comparison with chinese iems from more well known companies in the same price bracket, and those 1 tier above to get a sense of its performance.

Just got my HK6 today.

First impression, HK6 together with my Shanling M3S give a very crystal clear sound with very high detail and wide soundstage, incredible vocal and perfect mid sound out of the box, only deep bass not good enough compared with my shockwave III.

Please after some burn in period share a detailed comparison with your SW3 , thanks.

while drinking my coffee this has been delivered

I remember the bass not being the most optimal on open listen but @bobay9 is clearly hearing their potential. You are hearing them exactly as I was hearing them on fist listen. Look forward to everyones take on them.

So Jim says he will provide us with a proper graph of the HK6.

I am having a hard time believing that the HK6 isnt valuable for its money after reading all impressions here and on Aliexpress. I am having a hard time believing that over 44 reviews and over 100 orders would have existed if this was a bad iem. I am having a hard time believing that this new 2018 model with 6 Knowles BA per side will be mediocre. I am also having a hard time believing that this would differ from NICEHCK other middle and high-end products (that also has a lot of good reviews). I am looking forward to hear this, and also see another freq. graph.

The Opus #11 is also very nice if you're looking for something portable with a battery.

Edit: My all time favorite portable dac/amp is the LH Labs Geek Out V2+ but I'm not even sure if it's still available. It was also quite expensive.

Off topic: Nice to see another Dalkarl in here. I was raised in Avesta myself and have spent quite a few evenings in Säterdalen in my youth (that was a long time ago ).

Ok, will look this ones up, haha, the world is a small place indeed. I was in Säterdalen yesterday. So you migrated to our nice norwegian neighbor country.

This is just a little off topic side note, was a bit frustrated couldn't track my HK6 via USPS site like usual AE orders. Jim used the, new to me, Standard Ali Shipping starting with LP. Figured out if you use the site Global that they link it will give you the USPS number in parentheses when you track it on there.

And I own the only real competition to these. Those have their merits but the HK6 those aren't. There is a reason why people are buying these. You will find out soon though.
