Reading all your comments i still think the King Pro has one of the best soundstage "for an iem in that price"... Jokes apart i think it's still very relevant.

True dat, still relevant to this day and King Pro has an excellent soundstage next to No.3Ti.

I don't know if this has been mentioned previously, the Nicehck, C16-3 16 Cores High Purity Copper Cable, w/NX7 termination is a perfect fit for the TFZ No. 3
(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000129870705.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.428d4c4dwB5IhH)

Accomplishes 2.5 things for me:
1. 2.5 balanced, for my Radsone ES100
2. With rigidity of the stock cable and the aggressive curve in the ear hook, my earphones would constantly entangle themselves
2.5 Bling

For bass ill go for No.3 tho
What's your favorite basshead set, tfz and non-tfz?
The original S5 is still one for me for pure quantity but man do I love my E5 still, and the king pro with EQ is no slouch either. The EE Legend X is the best I've ever heard but I'm really looking for something cheap that slams. Dunu Titan 6 and no.3 are on my list....

I'm going to order one of these to see how it does, but I've owned 8 and 16 core basic Cooper nicehck cables. The one I use all the time has severely discolored and stiffened where it touches you're neck/body. Hopefully their current cables don't suffer from the same problem.... That one looks gross now TBH.

My favorite basshead set will be the non-tfz - fiio fh1 for now coz back then i used to listen bassy stuff, well back then for bass i usually use headphone for bass e.g Vmoda cans

I've heard great things about those but right now I'm looking about $200 and under for a fun set with a lot of bass authority. Been listening to my tfz e5 a lot lately and feel like an update is in order...

If efficient drivability isn't a major concern, I'd put the regular Kanas over the TFZ No.3 by a hair. The tuning on the Moondrop is slightly more natural, imho, even if the No.3 is perhaps a bit cleaner SQ-wise overall. The good thing is it's still available on eBay for around the same price as the No.3.

Drop has the no.3 for $85 new, I have an order in already but can cancel. The original Kansas would be fun but it looks like it's all used for around $125. Used at this price is sorta... Icky, and no chance of resale to a third owner.

My problem with TFZ is that I don't even know what model of their current line is the bassiest.... I like the idea of this third generation driver of theirs with a diamond diaphragm. Glad to see that tech come down to this price range.
