One of those things you don't realize you need until you use them.

Final's mmcx assist tool is so simple yet so genius that it boggles my mind how nobody thought of it before. It's kinda pricey for just a bit of plastic ($7) but I guess that's the price you pay for convenience (and not breaking your mmcx connectors).


obviously the Final mmcx tool will do the job easier, but if we do it often enough, we'll also be proficient with using this :sweat_smile:

Any difference? Pink cable softer or more well behaved or anything or essentially the same?

I like that cable. Super comfortable for me :wink:

I’m more excited about the ZAX, but I’ll likely be picking up both EDX and ZAX.

Oo didn't know about ZAX. This is interesting

Can't argue with that, but Soundstage is the glaring deficiency for me, so the NX7 needs a new shell/layout....

It's hard for me to use anything without MSEB after having used it. It's like fine tuning your view with a microscope. I have some broad settings I use that seem to instantly snap most pairs into focus for me (or more into focus). I've got both the original R6 and R6 pro.

Really good stuff. I might pick up an R5 as a backup. Word to the wise, hiby hasn't quite figured batteries out.... Buy a power bank for portable use... I seriously get 15 minutes off the charger of battery life on my R6 pro without a bank slow charging it. I use it mostly plugged in, and I think that's the problem that's killed the battery....
I'm awaiting delivery of an R6 pro - so it's advisable not to use it plugged in?...it never affected my Sony ZX battery - still provides a solid 30 hours!

7 drivers KZ, terminator of the terminator
ZAX is an 8-driver, a clone of CCA CA16.

Terminator's son. Son of a... ZSX

Working to develop IEM mythology of its own, given the recent talks :)

P. S. Edit on CA16 (not C16), oh those names...

P. P. S. ...and ZAX/ZSA edit, thanks @DynamicEars

Dang! KZ and its nomenclature system. Even this ZAX then seems like a good punt then. Will wait for them as well

You’re going to get yours so much quicker than I’m going to get mine!
I’m consoling myself by checking out Tanchjim’s anime. I had no idea they were so kawaii (or vampire obsessed)...I feel like I’ve wandered into unfamiliar marketing territory :heart_eyes:

Where you get that for that price?

Last time I tried to order this from Amazon.jp, it seems the listing was removed. I assumed Final discontinued it or something.

I was planning on just making my own tool...
