500+ Head-Fier
For Simgot EA500 LM in Universal Fit
Pros: Awesome unpackaging experience
Gorgeously seductive looks
Heavy shells with high-quality feel
Great fit with the ergonomic 'two-part' design
Well balanced overall, so not too genre specific
Bass delivery above its price tag
Vocals never feel lost in the mix
Competitively priced
Three tuning nozzles
Cons: Sharp high mids at times
Vocals placed further back in the mix (depends on recording, might be a plus for some)
Not the greatest resolution especially in midbass to low mids area
Sparse accessories (only a single set of tips and a subpar 3.5mm cable)
Tuning nozzles offer a very slight change

500+ Head-Fier
For TINHIFI T2 Mk.II in In-Ear
Pros: ● Solid construction of its metal shell chassis.
● Its ergonomic compact design fits well and will also offer good sealing.
● Three choices of ear tips to choose from.
● Neutral sound
● Clean and precise bass response for neutral-heads.
● Linear, clear and energetic midrange
● Forward vocals, good for vocal tracking on countertenor, mezzo-sopranos and sopranos.
● Crisp and bright sounding on strings and woodwinds.
● Good treble air extension for an arrayed dual dynamic driver set.
● Above-average to wide lateral span on its perceived sound/speaker stage.
● Excellent cohesive performance of its co-axial dynamic driver set-up.
● Good resolution capabilities.
Cons: ● Absolutely not for bassheads as it has a lack of authority and impact.
● lack of depth, texture and tone colouration in most male vocals and some instruments.
● MMCX-type connectors are still a contentious issue among audio enthusiasts.
● Might sound too lean to some listeners.
● Its bright tuning might be too sensitive to some treble-sensitive folk out there.
● No inclusion of a carrying case.

Headphoneus Supremus
For EPZ Q5 in Universal Fit
Pros: Nice sculpting of musical notes
Crisp and clear midrange, upper-midrange
Comfortable and easy to wear, easy to find fitment
Nice box opening experience
A selection 6 pairs of useable quality ear-tips
Comes with nice zippered case and cleaning cloth
Fairly good timbre across the board
Cons: 3.5kHz to 7.5kHz peak sits outside the standard listener's idea of brightness
The peak combined with a non-physical bass emphasizes our tonal stance
Dry and un-involving overall tone
Missing that all important note-weight

nice review Mars, what have heard and seen on reviews on this QKZ x HBB, is all about quantity bass and not quality, I myself is a basshead/treblehead, but I want the bass both quality and quantity and it will not bleed towards the mids or sloppy

New Head-Fier
For QKZ x HBB Hades in Universal Fit
Pros: Powerful Bass: The dual dynamic drivers, featuring 9mm PU and LCP composite diaphragms, deliver bass that's not just deep and boomy but also incredibly punchy, making it a paradise for bassheads.

Balance Mids and Highs: Despite the emphasis on bass, the Hades maintains a good balance in the midrange and treble.

Beautiful blue translucent wavy panels.

Good quality 3d printed resin shell, light and compact.
Cons: Overwhelming Bass While the bass is a standout feature, it may be overpowering for listeners who prefer a more balanced sound signature, potentially overshadowing other frequencies.

the cable is thin cheap kind and prone to tangling, would be a good idea instead of spending resource on making those Gold coins and ugly white plastic qkz case, they should instead spend it on making a good quality cable worthy of the Hades.
If you're looking for earphones that can deliver massive amount of deep thumping bass the QKZ X HBB Hades is here to satisfy your cravings. With its dual dynamic driver setup featuring 9mm PU and...

New Head-Fier
For Simgot EA500 LM in Universal Fit
Pros: Good build quality and elegant appearance that simgot maintains to this day.
Very energetic and emotional overall presentation
Better tight and attacking bass compared to the original EA500
Drum kick sounds full and weighty
Very airy and open sounding
Mid frequencies are very weighty and super developed
Very technical highs with gorgeous detail amazing for dynamic headphones
Literally the king of analytics, just take it and analyze your music.
Gorgeous separation of images and excellent drawing of plans
The king of dynamic headphones right now?
Cons: It would be great to have a new and balanced cable, and it’s probably worth adding a cloth to wipe the headphones

500+ Head-Fier
For CCA TRIO in Universal Fit
Pros: - Fun tuning and well balanced tuning, smoother and more natural than the Rhapsody
- Switches provide for more versatility since you can make small adjustments to the sound here and there
- Easy to drive
- Generally comfortable
Cons: - The CCA Rhapsody are slightly more resolving and capable albeit with a less natural sound profile
- CCA should include better stock cables
- Only one set of tips provided (they are good, but some brands include a wider selection of stock tips) other than the foam tips
- High product turnover in KZ and CCA product portfolio, which leads to product becoming obsolete very fast
