I don’t know if I’m a little offended . JK. I guess my 2c were worth just that much.I had the lowest expectation from the DQ6 of the stuff I ordered, fortunately I didnt get dissapointed.

Don't forget CCA. They finally got it right with the CSN, too! Hard to beat the tuning as such a low price.Haha (Sorry to KZ fanboys), but my 2 cents is that KZ has kind of lost its way in recent times. I mean they were my first CHIFI gateway drug when I first came to the CHIFI hobby, they are still one of the stakeholders in the sub $50 market, but the past few months their rep hasn't been helped with their almost weekly sidegradish releases and trying to breach the $100 mark with the AS16 and ASX which weren't well received. I would rather they spend some time on tuning well and slowing down their releases, rather than going for the highest driver count nuclear race and spamming releases. Their release strategy (including sister company CCA) is kind of throwing as much stuff on a wall and hoping something finally sticks (and burning a lot ofearly consumersbeta tester guinea pigs in the meantime).
Thankfully it seems DQ6 is something unique and they managed to get it right. Maybe I'll get one at the next sales!
In that case, you need to roll the cable on the DQ6 and get rid of that sneaky peaky treble. A balanced copper + SPC mix cable would do nicely.Super early impression on the KZ DQ6:
Pretty well tuned V-shaped iem. Bass is elevated and is on the tighter side for this price range and texture is pretty impressive. Mids are recessed but not too much. Treble is probably the area where some might think it is too much or fine, to me it is a bit peaky.
I definitely take this over the Blon BL-01. But we see how it stacks up against my favorite budget iem, being the mesh modded Bl-03 after I had some more time.
It makes me wonder if the DQ6 is a KZ inhouse design or if it's an OEM. The tuning of the 3 DDs is too reference V compared to the usual KZ house sound.Haha (Sorry to KZ fanboys), but my 2 cents is that KZ has kind of lost its way in recent times.

Never used the stock cable and the stock tips lol.In that case, you need to roll the cable on the DQ6 and get rid of that sneaky peaky treble. A balanced copper + SPC mix cable would do nicely.
Haha, I fully understand, I tossed both the stock cable and tips as soon as I opened the box and saw them...Never used the stock cable and the stock tips lol.
Oracle's pinna gain emulation seems to be an entire 1kHz late.
Saw this on the Linsoul discord

The more I listen to the DQ6, the more it makes me want to take a listen to the UM 3DT. Seriously wondering how different the 2 triple DD IEM sound.
Never used the stock cable and the stock tips lol.
Elecom EHP-CAP20 LargeWhich tips are you guys using, if you don't mind me asking?
Cheers.
Ikko OH10 impressions:
Why didn’t I get this when it was first released?????????
Bass is very well textured and has a lot of quantity, pretty close to basshead quantity BUT it is very tight and clean so it doesn’t muddy up the rest of the sound like usual basshead quantity of bass would do.
Mids are a bit recessed but tonality and timbre are excellent. And detail is good as well despite the huge bass.
Treble is quite airy and sounds very natural as well without being shouty.
Mids and treble are very similar to the Sony XBA-N3 in timbre and coherency. Very impressive.
The bass on this is actually the most similar iem I have to the Dunu Zen bass. So, if you want to experience the Zen bass (which is my nr 1 iem in bass) then the OH10 is a budget way to do that. (it definitely doesn’t have as much texture as the Zen, but compensates with more quantity and the tightness and speed are very similar.) It also reminds me of the Dunu EST112 bass.
I know there are some people that have asked me what iem to upgrade to from the OH10 and I am honestly not sure (yet) after hearing it lol.
