Everyone's ears are unique, and again it is not about the driver count (my all BA L8S is still my king IEM), but to me the CK2V does not sound artificial at all...all kinds of music sound perfect to me, from rock to jazz, going through some pop, reggae, metal, and some local Portuguese music, incl. some fado and cante alentejano (enough to say that vocals sound spot on, not to mention the huge soundstage)
Whizzer SS20 tips... the Fan 3 barely fit me right because of the wide nozzle, but strangely, those donut-tips worked well!
Absolutely agree — everyone's ears and preferences are so different, and that's what makes this hobby so fun.
The CK2V really nails that natural, musical sound for a lot of people, and it’s awesome to hear how well it handles such a wide range of genres for you (fado and cante alentejano must sound incredible with that tuning!). It's not always about driver count; it's about how everything comes together.I should try that on the KB02... although I have Spinfit Omni on them and they work well!
thats your take buddy and i respect it, havent heard Archangel, seem nice....yet EBC80 use same dualDD than H60 etc...and i prefer it over H60 big time...yet find bass similar. not the mids....not at all.....BC oblige. nor treble, EST oblige. anyway...man Archangel, again, seem nice!Great deal!!! I can't wait to NOT order them at the moment!!
USA USA USA USA USA USA!! No...**** Trump!!
All that dip means is that these are tuned just like the Zenith, Decet, PRX, EDC Pro etc etc, aka the treble is not prominent or very airy, just like the sets mentioned, which is the nu-KZ aka nu-meta, which all got good responses from the masses, so KZ will continue to tune their IEMs with polite treble until folks stop paying attention, and they go back to their old tuning style, which is letting the treble fly free.
He can't run again. He's a blow hard, and any dream of another run is a pipe dream and a comment purely made out of hubris. It would take an act of congress that simply doesn't exist (like getting rid of the DoEd), and no supreme court decree could validate. Who knows if he survives this go around? I'm just worried today, and my inability to use Alix for cable purchases. I need to nurse my cables, and keep my cats away from them.
This is the amazing GY-341 cable. It's a perfect synergy cable with the EBC80, and one of the most aesthetically beautiful cables I own, but it comes off by this afternoon, as the XINHS HA015 I re-ordered will go back on it (my cat gnawed on the OG). I have to post this way, because the link isn't available to US customers anymore.
One of the ones that got away, even with a VIP with a deep deep discount, because this came out at the very same time as the ISN H60 and the Penon Fan 3, and I bought them both, so it was just a matter of $$$$, bad timing, and I wasn't buying earbuds at the time, but now, I wish I'd have been all-in.
No. The EBC80 is NOT an upgrade to the H60. The Archangel is, but not the EBC80. The 80 lacks the balance in the sub bass thru mid bass, lacks the crispness and note resolution in the treble, and there's too much warmth distributed from the lower mids to the mid bass, so though it does have increased technicalities and stage due to the BCD, so yes, it's a technical upgrade to the H60, but not a spiritual upgrade. It's just a different flavor. The Archangel on the other hand...
Probably a review sample, because any direct link for purchase is hard to come by, and mostly it's just Facebook contact. No wonder it's an overlooked gem. You can't easily buy it. Not only that, but unless you want to pay double and triple for something, now is not the time to be trying to add to your Chi-fi collection, Lee.
@GorGhast - Good luck with that "studio sound". Maybe Kurt Cobain on smack in the studio sound?
The sprout is designed for dampers and is important for dedicated wave guides. It seems that AM16 have a simple design of BA firing into the shell cavity. Hence the price. I think it is a good idea for KZ to introduce a seemingly new bass BA in a simplest design with the lowest price.
Excited for your apostle review.I love it when I'm thrown for a loop. Taken by surprise by a combo I wasn't expecting to sound as good as it does? In this case, I'm wrapping up my review of the Elysian Apostle, and on a whim, while waiting for another DAP to charge, I decided to listen to it in 4.4mm thru the Hiby R3 II, which might be my least expensive DAP? The sonics are anything but blunted or or headroom handicapped. Nope. This is TOTL sound. Simply stellar presentation.
There have been 27 (valid) entries so far.
They look nice, but I wish they were wide bore though...Tangzu is making their own Coreir eartips?
And these tips will be just as useless as the regular San Cai. I've had several sets in my possession, and even the largest size provides zero seal, so a harder core? Yeah No.Tangzu is making their own Coreir eartips?
