I no longer have the Navigator with me, but I suspect that combo will sound awesome, too. Navigator is the best dongle DAC right now, period.

The cable rolling helps slight change frequency curve. With CEMA SuperCopper cable P20 has more neutral and transparent sound, less warmish.

100+ Head-Fier
For Knowledge Zenith (KZ) X Crinacle CRN/ZEX PRO in Universal Fit
Pros: Sounds great after lighting them up with a strong amp. Bottom end likes power and the top end will settle down if the source isn't weak. Beautiful bass for 60's and 70's R&B and soul, lounge, old jazz.
Cons: I lost 2 martinis worth of dough on this pair. Pretty meh for metal. Not a good pair for heavy orchestral works but will shine for baroque, choral, and chamber music with a bit of volume.
ZEX Pro. Nearly 3 years ago now, I dished about $40 US on these and, for the most part, they've been sitting in a cardboard graveyard. What can I say about them that already hasn't been said? If...

Great review! I am a huge fan of the Omnium and opted to buy them as a CIEM for myself after owning them in universal. However, if you are going to use my measurements for your content I would appreciate being credited for them.

Nice review, think Bonneville is either you like it or dislike it.
I can't live without Bonneville, and have sold many other sets due to it.

But can see it not being for everyone, very subjective what we like or not.

Anyways keep up the great work you do @Jaytiss 💯

500+ Head-Fier
For Kinera Celest PhoenixCall Multi-Driver Tribrid IEMs in Universal Fit
Pros: Nicely presented package
Decent stock cable
Offered in two colour schemes – fully transparent and a blue&pink combination
Transparent shells are always a plus – here especially since you can see the well thought out arrangement of all elements
Medium sized shell
A well-judged overall balance
Treble is tastefully done
Special tribrid driver configuration
Cons: Not the be all end all of technical prowess
Somewhat long and thick nozzle can be an issue for some
Bass lacks the satisfying low rumble
Midrange tuning can be a bit temperamental as in where it works and where it falls short
Only two variants of poorer quality silicone eartips
