Hi, i'm new in IEMs, planning to replace stock earphone from samsung tuned by akg

How do you compare it with Zero Audio Carbo Mezzo ?
In Indonesia, zirco pezzo is priced around US$40, but carbo mezzo is priced around US$80

Does 'higher price = better quality' applied in IEMs ?

Hi Dicoy, I haven't tried the Mezzos.
But, i must warn you that Zirco Pezzo, without modding, are bright sounding. The aggressive and detailed treble can be a bit harsh and sibilant.
These are tuned to be more neutral and treble/detail focussed.

Although the Pezzos are a superior IEM, being new to IEMs, i would say it is safer to go for a more commercial tuning, something with bigger bass, and smoother highs.
Eg: Zero Audio Tenore/Basso, final E2000, E3000, MUIX IX3000, LG Quadbeat, among others.

And finally, higher price IS NOT EQUAL TO better quality in IEMs
The trick is the find your taste, read more reviews/impressions, and buy your perfect IEM.

Hi, regarding the nice and true "iemsOnly" last comment, and if you want a japanese iem, I may suggest you to digg into the "Ocharaku Co-Donguri Brass" one>. It's still clear but has a more accessible frequency response.

Carbo Mezzo and Zirco Pezzo are on the same (entry) level of two different lines : "carbo" for carbon and "zirco" for zircon. The Zirco line is newer. And I found sometimes on the web the Mezzo at around 40/50$ so prices are fluctuating...

What earphones do you have with your smartphone ? Some are good.

How does the ZB-03 compare to the Tenore in the bass, mids and highs?
