FEARLESS???? If thats true, then I might have found a real treasure hoard.





lol

I'm 99.9% sure this is the same Leisurely Audio on Taobao or their all the same OEM company under different names. The designs are very similar. I actually speculated that fearless owned or co owned them. I love my leisurely audio L12 amazing value for the money might need to buy one of these

Rose QT9-MK2 in the house. Why are these so rarely mentioned? The few impressions they’ve garnered here have been very positive and from respected forum members, but somehow they haven’t gotten any traction. From my brief time with them so far they are very balanced, dynamic, technically accomplished, and versatile earphones. Pretty similar to the LZ A7, with a bit more atmospheric bass but in exchange for the upper treble extension that the A7 brings with its piezo drivers (and of course without the crazy tuning options). Anyway, I am very much looking forward to getting to know them better! Will be posting a review in a while.

I really like the QT-9 mkII and use it very often. I will write a review soon.

Yeah, Black Monitor was almost always the config I left on my A7. But the character of the two IEMs is quite distinct IMO, despite the similarity of the FR, with the QT9 being more atmospheric and the A7 more analytical (though both are quite technically proficient). Actually I think the people who wished for a tuning of the A7 with the midrange of the Monitor switch but the bass impact of the Pop switch could be very happy with the QT9.

I will say I think the staging of the QT9 is more well-rounded dimensionally, though it’s not necessarily the biggest in diameter.

Anyway, very glad to hear you’re still enjoying the QT9, that speaks volumes given your taste and range of experience.

My A7 is long gone so I can’t compare them, but just from the top of my memory, your description sounds quite accurate.

QT-9 is also super comfy and I can lie down side on it which is another big plus.

I wonder what the pricing is going to look like for those. It looks like they're going for a metal shell, which isn't necessarily a good thing, but we can always wait and see. If the pricepoint is competitive, it may not matter either way.

How is the stage? Wide and spacious, or intimate?

How is the stage? Wide and spacious, or intimate?

I would say quite spacious and it has a good depth. Compared to my NF Audio NM2+, similar width but staging extends a tad deeper. Forward projection is very good with the QT9 mkII. Everything is laid out in front me instead of populating dead center inside my head.

 

[KutuzovGambit]

How is the stage? Wide and spacious, or intimate?

To me it has very good expansiveness, and as I mentioned before quite exceptional proportionality. It also has a very open and transparent sound in the mids and highs, despite the fairly potent (but well-controlled) bass, which together with the staging allows superb layering and separation with quite a lot of air between the instruments. The vocals are somewhat forward, but because of everything I just mentioned I would not call the QT9 intimate by any stretch.

In addition to agreeing with @tgx78, I will also add that I was quite surprised to find the QT9 also has some amount of rear projection, which I don’t recall ever encountering in an IEM before.

What do you mean when you say, rear projection?

Is it that they are open back and project sound from the rear of the ear pieces or that the perception of stage puts you at the centre and you perceive sound coming at you from behind you?

Thanks to you and @tgx78 for the persuasive sonic descriptions of the QT9, very interesting.

The latter (they are closed back).
