Hi! I'm deciding between the TRN Conch and Moondrop Chu 2, and I noticed you’ve reviewed both IEMs. I’d love to get your input on which one would suit me better. I’m not a hardcore audiophile-just looking for a reliable daily driver for school and home use. I mainly listen to pop, rock, and alternative music. Price-wise, I can get the TRN Conch for about $18 and the Chu 2 for around $12. Also, if you have any other alternatives, I'd love some recommendations! Thanks in advance!

Hello Paul I want to buy my first dac and I'm between the ifi one and the one and the max, which one has a better sound?

I hope you can check out SGOR Luna, it uses a 13.5mm Planar Driver, same price as PRX but has an option to come with a CX dongle and build and sound wise, it's pretty competent.

Deym. Missed Oppoty. 😅

I'm trying to get a good KZ, I barely understand the terms of what are you saying, in fact, I'm an ignorant in this industry. ¿Can you help me out choosing a good set of KZ buds? I see a lot of choises, I have a budged of 30-50 bucks, I like to hear everything. 😂

I'm watching this video in my kz edc pro❤...

Why do they declare 128 decibels (KZ Zenith) if it says 110 decibels on the box???

Hey Paul, how would you say this compares to the Vivace if I was looking for a set that presents male vocals naturally yet still pretty realistically? I was considering this set, the Vivace, and possibly the G10 for male vocals that are accurate and clear yet still a bit smooth without having *too much warmth. Any recommendations you could give in this regard or any sets that might do it best around $30-40?

The Zenith does look like a flagship, nicely designed.

Doesn't KZ mean Knowledge Zenith? It's Knowledge Zenith Zenith.

Guys hear me out for a sec. I just saw this video and wanted to share that i really hope that they managed to keep the timbre what many of us thinks makes the BL03 so special and different to other iems regardless of price for years. I owned or listened many headphone and iem some of them are like considered to be high end end game stuff including HD800S, HD600, HD660S, IE900, IE200, DT1990 Pro, DT990 Pro and countless of chi-fi iems like Fiio FH3, Moondrop Aria, Tin T2 & T3+ but in the end i sold most of them because the technicality doesn't guarantee that you will not just like but "love" the timbre and sound of an iem or headphone. What i'm keeping in my collection today includes Shure KSE1500 (which i recently bought and stopped the iem game, it's a real end-game technical performance which is just not comparable to any other high end in ear stuff no matter the price), Timeless AE (good price to performance with fast driver and a well tuned overall balance but needs some EQ to sound natural), Hzsound Heart Mirro (not the Pro, the OG one which has the same dynamic driver Blon BL03 uses so the timbre is just as natural and lively) and of course i have 2 Blon BL03 (i had 3 but traded one of them recently) one gunmetal color which i've been using since 2020 for literally everyday and it's still perfectly working other than it's paint chipped because of the drops on the hard surface many times and a purple BL03 as my backup set today. 2020 production has a bit warmer bass so better note weight compared to other ones i bought recently but has the same magical "something" in their tuning which i can not get from ANY OTHER iem nor headphone... They just can not give you the magical, emotional, natural feeling of what BL03 gives even with some heavy a..s EQ experiments on different iems and headphones. I managed to get almost identical tunings with heavy EQing on different stuff just to hope i may get a better technical performance with a better iem while keeping that naturality BL03 offers but i just can not get that what does BL03 the BL03... It still is my daily iem for casual use like watching something, playing game, talking in discord etc. It's just have that perfect effortless natural sound. And i want to also share that it's easily the most comfortable iem i've ever used in my life even when compared to the stuff which gets praises by being comfortable like the IE900 or this Shure iems... BL03 has a shell which is almost like a custom molded shell for my ears idk... And after seeing it with a black coating in it's revision 2, i don't have any other chance but buying a pair lol... If there anyone else thinking the same things like me, please share what other stuff you tried and find just as natural and "emotional" sounding like the BL03 if you ever find any. My hands still goes grabs my BL03s from the drawer, not the KSE1500, not the Timeless AE, and definitely wouldn't grab the overpriced IE900 too because i just don't want nor need to hear every miniscule detail in the music with those highly technical sets. That doesn't really attracts me to be able to hear the song with a microscope like my KSE1500s, if i don't enjoy the sound and getting that goosebumps everytime my favorite band hits that punch line in the song (i'm looking at you Nirvana the man who sold the world, or R.E.M Losing my religion...) So having a highly technical set does offer you a "high quality" sound and time to time i go grab those iems and listen to things but that still doesn't make me find myself with my hands, feets or my head holding rythm of what i'm listening at that moment like i do with my BL03s... Thanks for the review Paul, i really appreciated for the sharing.

hey Paul review The Tanchjim Bunny also measure the frequency graph with the vent closed & also opened meshfilter of nozzle, i want to see the frequency response difference 9:52

this thing is price right below EW300, hows the sound compared to the tribid? bass amount, vocal thickness, and resolusion?

Merry Christmas to all! Comparing your video (approx. 40th sec.) with my original BL03 set, it is obvious beyond any doubt that the version II has significantly longer nozzles than the original one. This fact probably escaped your attention. Even this lengthening doesn't improve their seating comfort when directly compared?

Hey Paul, any sets in the $30-40 range that have a similar vocal presentation to the Nuo's? I was looking for something that presents vocals naturally and realistically with a little bit of forwardness/clarity. I do find sometomes that the Nuo is very close to what I'm looking for but it seems almost a bit "flavored" (just slightly).

Why does everyone hate switches? I think switches are a good factor to help with natural tuning. Is there any harm with the existence of switches?

It seems KZ finally realized that multi-BA drivers can't compete with the dynamic drivers they'd made with much care. So they changed the price tag now.

oh, the naming. It's KZ Zenith to nobody can google it, I guess.

At first, I thought the KZ Zenith was just another 1DD model from KZ, but after looking into the new driver information, I found it quite interesting. I hope you'll do a full review for KZ Zenith.

Wished they omitted the switches or gave the option without them. This seems like the one 1DD set they put out that had actual driver innovation paired with a tuning that matches it perfectly. I mean, I actually genuinely like this direction they're taking with this one. A little hopeful but, would like them do a more premium $85-100 metal-shelled warm, smooth, resolving larger-diameter 1DD set w/o switches; i.e. their version of a 2-pinned FD15 😁

Yes I remember the fit issue wished they fixed it this time like the cable connection

P, Do you use Forza A W, cables? All my cans and iems have a Forza. Best, D.

I just received the PRX, and I really like it. Should I buy a Zenith as well? How are they different?

What nozzle are you refering to when you compare about the DSP or Standard?

FR for kz zenith hasn't appeared on Squiqlink yet?

Klean or Zenith?

The Legend BLON is back Amazing 👏

Which iem currently has the best dynamic driver irrespective of price? Is there currently a better dynamic driver in the market that is not implemented in any of the mainstream iems but available to DIYers?

Compared to the KZ Sonata, is the Zenith as detailed and technically capable?

I wonder how the Zenith compares to ZVX Pro? Or even Saga Balanced? The ZVX pro is an astounding upgrade to the original… very detailed and cleaner in the mids and treble, but compared to the Saga Bal, it can sound dry. The Saga is so musical in a .. liquid way. Wonder if the Zenith is the best of both worlds?

Excellent explanation. 👌 Zenith looks very similar to the way I EQ EA500. Are they side grades in terms of techs? Or is Zenith the next step in driver technology? Thanks

Hi Paul knowing you dislike the ZVX but I own the ZVX og n waiting for your ZVX Pro review.

I'm excited. I wanted a bass set like the original Blon.

That upper treble in the Zenith looks amazing. Do you think this Zenith shell is the same or different from the D-fi?

But why all those damn switches!! Hate tunning switches, and all these for a single DD!?! Just tune them properly and shrink those bulky shells…

That Zenith sounds right up my alley, if I didn’t already have my FD15 lol. Glad people can enjoy such an experience at affordable prices tho

Im completely confused vs HBBs graph. Looks like 2 entirely different iems to me.

how is the soundstage of KZ Zenith, and how big of a difference is between the soundstage of KZ Zenith and KZ Sonata(I know it's almost triple the price) but I still want to know this to decide if it's worth going directly for the Sonata or not? Soundstage is my biggest priority, next is detail retrieval. Or if there's something else you'd suggest me for sounstage or detail retail around 150ish dollars?

KZ has come quite a long way from where they were just 2-3 years ago. What i find fascinating is, while most brands focus more on new materials tech(Lithium, Beryllium, Aluminum-Magnesium, DLC, etc...) on their DD diaphragm, KZ seems to focus more on the engineering of the physical structure of the DD itself rather than the composition of the materials used. Which is also, i think, part of the reason how they are able to keep the price affordable or "bang for your buck".

You said, 'for all BA sets,' AS24'.. Not the AS24 pro? Not the Sonata? I need an all BA set. Thanks. Btw I am ordering this Zenith now, I have bought ZVX pro and PRX, and they are grand, looking forward to see what KZ will give us for a $50 single DD.. Autocoherence! Yippee!

Like the new color but definitely wish it had a less weird form factor

D: the same damn bore size.... ughhh!!

Paul, I was looking at set to potentially replace some of my perceived shortcomings of EA1000. The EA1000 made some metal genres borderline unlistenable, with way too much splash and brightness and not enough bass even after the nozzle mods (foam + mesh). After a lot of research, I settled on possibly either Tea Pro or Theiaudio Origin but people who’ve heard both told me that Origin might be simply too bassy and too rich for regular daily listening. I like the Pro (and it’s less than 50% of the price) but I’m not sure if it’d have enough bass. Any thoughts, especially vs modded EA1000?

Are you planning on doing a video on kz zenith?

Why doesn't someone trustworthy like Paul Wasabii just upload to squiglink their readings for a given pair of KZ USB-C IEMs both using the boxed KZ USB-C cable and a this supposedly high-end dongle DAC to show if there really is any audibly measurable difference in sound quality?

I have ZVX pro, is it worth getting this one for the bass shelf? Still don't have a basshead set..

How are the tea PRO compared to the Simgot EM10?

Hello, do you think it's worth buying purely for gaming?

Thanks for the review6. I have dunu kima og and I love their relaxed sound. Do you think is worth the upgrade?

Every time you mentioned "Mids", i can't help myself from remembering your review of Simgot EW200.. .. which until today, still i look at it as my most preferred IEM in my collection (because of its clear vocals, enough Bass and Details) surpassing (to name a few) Letshuoer S08, Aoshida E20, TruthEar Hexa, Artti R1, Artti T10, EW300 DSP, ea500LM, 7Hz Sonus, CVJ Assassin, KZ PR1 Pro, KZ ZS12 Pro X, EDC Pro. Coming back to "Mids," is KZ Sonata another 'variant' of Simgot EW200...? i mean how better is Sonata compared to EW200?
