But that is the ASX not the ASF . He was looking for the vents on the ASF here....

Ah gotcha.

They’re probably on the bottom where you can’t see them in that photo. That’s where KZ puts a lot of their rear vents.

I understand the justification for these claims. Those diagrams are not driven independently, right?

Yes. The BGVP Zero and shuoer tape for instance stack Electrets on top of DDs in that same way but they're fully "independent" drivers. Just saves on space but I've always wondered how they work with the air displacement when there are two dynamics pushing bass frequencies.... Not sure how the air moves right in the coaxial setup....

KZ's answer to the VX is the ZAX.

The ASX is what others will be answering to. AFAIK you couldn't get more than 8 drivers under $150 until now, and here's KZ going with 10 drivers for <$90 (from the right place).

There's relatively cheaper multi driver stuff actually:
- TRN BA8 is going at $130+ USD (8 BA)
- TRN VX with 1 less driver (6BA + 1DD) is going at $60ish USD.

I do hope ASX and ASF turn out well, but from budget CHIFI multi driver track records, sometimes more drivers may screw things up, like coherency and cross over issues.
Sometimes less is more, I know more drivers looks cool on paper, but I would take lesser drivers any day for a better tuning and implementation. YMMV.

they showed this graph for the ASF:

If the graph is legit, those upper mids/lower treble peaks really remind me of Mount Everest LOL:


TRN BA8 had a similar upper mids graph (though this is from a different measuring gear, but the general shape should be thereabouts):

It really does look like a mountain, but upon looking closer, it seems to represent a 9dB rise, so not too egregious. I think the graph is very compressed horizontally.

TRN fires back. (1DD 5BA according to the label)

Do love the design tho.

Design looks sick

Hi all, is it enough driving final audio F4100 from samsung S10+ ?

I wonder if they bothered tuning this one...

I guess if you throw enough darts at the board you might eventually get a bullseye....

Wow +18db pinna gain!! High mids - only professional monitor

BGGAR has Tin HiFi's two new IEMs, the P2 and the cheapo $30 one. Both 2-pin now.

From the 3D render it looks that smaller BA's also have vent holes on them. Probably will order this as with discount code it ends up costing 77$ and some change
