What are some favorite IEMs in Asia (not so well-known elsewhere).

Hello to Asia!

Being aware of multiple audio sessions during every year in Asia and browsing through e-earphone.jp, I've noticed many models that are rather rare here in the Europe, but based on the number of reviews popular in Asia.

For example local brand's model Sony IER-Z1R has 221 reviews which means so many of guys must have bought it and these are not the cheapest ones. Based on the reviews, many people also go for JVC/kenwood, which is not so popular here (at least I would say) - availability is also kind of an issue. Other than that, I have discovered some new brands I didn't even know...

So what is your typical favorite gear?

I'd like to know as well, but I feel there is some 'secret cover up' going on where they don't want their well guarded age old music secrets to go into the Wild West

Yeah. However, I don't see is as dramatic.

I think it's more likely question of marketing on people's demands - If they rather look for some mass marketing products, it's not worth to import so many different stuffs and offer large portfolio. However, my point was also the fact that Asians are "quite into audio", so any of their thoughts will be appreciated
