I might get these for 11.11. Have you heard any hicehck earbuds like the ME80 and B40? I didn't know earbuds could sound so good like that. I've not heard any of their IEMs. After your sound test I'm more inclined to buy them. I like my Zsn Pro, amazing for the price but they're fatiguing after a few songs and I don't seem to be using them much.
My DB3 just came this afternoon and I highly regret it. Since I've tried listening on these, I can't go back to lower quality earphones like the apple earpods anymore. It really changed my standards pretty significantly. Thanks for your recommendation man, this is my very first IEM. I am very pleased.
Right??? like it just raise our standards to what high quality should be like... now my wallet is crying since I feel like Im gonna have a bunch of these IEMS
Can you make a video on "How to EQ properly" ...detail tutorial about EQing...like about its theory ,how to set EQ for particular sound signature headphone ,which EQ is best for particular genre of songs,it's relation to different structure of songs etc...it will be really helpful.😁
Got mine today and dang I got blown away! Even at full max volume, it’s not peaking or sharp in the ear. It’s an awesome pair! Will be using this for video editing from now on! Thanks zpolt!
Based on my comment on the soundtest, I'm glad that you re-affirmed that I wasn't wrong. It is one of the best that I heard from your channel. And that FR graph is almost flat, which is usually a good indication. It's not even close to the Harman target. For the price, man this would be a steal. So I'm ordering one soon and circle back but it might take a while. Too busy at work. Thanks, man! I always enjoy your reviews. :)
Finally got my DB3 from JieTu. My god, this is a monster at the $20 price point. It's punching way higher than it should, especially in treble detail. And by detail I don't mean brightness...just that extended, hear-the-decay-of-cymbals-clearly kind of detail. Sound stage is quite wide, similar to TRN. They actually remind me of the KZ ZSN/ZSN PRO without the harsh peaks and sibilance at higher volumes. I can say that these are an upgrade in smoothness and resolution. They're better built too but the resin shell of the IM2 stil feels a little better. Not for bassheads. This is tuned for audiophile, with a mild V-shape. The thing is, I'm not even running them balanced yet. Still waiting for my other balanced cable (4.4). I still expect a marginal improvement in sound with balanced and burn-in. It will be VERY HARD to dethrone these at $20. I'd pay double for these no problem. An underrated gem in every way. Not sure if you can still read this but you're absolutely right. This is indeed the new king, probably the best value in Chi-fi right now. It's technically superior to the IM2 but they complement each other quite nicely. My new IEM Hybrid Duo. :)
i'm interested in the graphs. is there anywhere where all of the graphs are posted (as pictures or direct link, either is fine)? i tried looking for them on your pages, but no luck. also, they seem to be be random in your videos, as sometimes they appear in the review, sometimes not, and then sometimes in the sound test, and sometimes in neither.
I just started posting the measurements recently so i dont have measurements in my older videos. but its a good idea to have them in one area. I will consider that maybe in my website.
Thanks to your review, I eventually bought KZ ZSN Pro. Before that, I can't decide between these & another earphone called Plextone DX6 - but because the latter doesn't have any reviews, I chose the former. I just learned about this Nicehck DB3 & it seems it has the same number of drivers as plextone dx6 (2 dynamic + 1 ba) but with a different form factor... though, it is advertised as a gaming earphone. They also priced almost the same. Hopefully, you can review the Plextone DX6 someday. But anyway, thanks for your recommendation :D
If I watched this video before purchasing DB3, I will never regret my decision to purchase it. Damn he's so right that I'm a bassheads never survive on this pair of DB3
Just got a set of these today, and have to say for the price i'm impressed. Not so much with the tips though, with the standard tips it sounds a bit congested but swap to the double flange wide bore tips and it sounds so much better to me, they are a bit big so i think i need to invest in a set of wide bore single flange tips reckon that will open these up nicely :)
I am planning to buy this but it's a little bit expensive for me... can anyone tell me if it's a good upgrade from vk4?? I don't have any DD+BA IEMs so this is gonna be my first. I'm looking for a slight v shape or u shaped IEMs... If anyone can tell me it's a good upgrade from vk4 I would buy it. I'm a treble sensitive user and also not a fan of bass heavy IEMs.
Great review, it seems we have the same taste in sound frequency response thus I will follow your recommendation on the Nicechk DB3. Can you also do a comparison between the DB3 and the BQEYZ KC2. Another reviewer was floored with the sound of this KC2 and I am in a dilemma which to choose among the 2 iem.
Can you recommend some iems like Blon bl-03 but with little bit more treble? I don't like elevation in 2-4k range it makes guitars sound weird and vocals sibilant. Something with nice bass and treble extension?
Glad i went with the zsn pro. I can always take care of the mids with proper equalizing. But you can't make a sound signature more lively with those tricks... I love a live soundstage where i can also feel the bass and cymbals are also important. Dunno what i prefer more tho. The zsn pro or my zsx.
Hey man! I’ve been watching a lot of your great reviews lately. I’m new in these things and I’m very glad I watched your videos. I just have some questions. I own a ZSN-Pro. Is it okay if I just buy some accessories for upgrade rather than buying the DB3? Will it match (even not exact) the quality of DB3 if I upgrade my ZSN-Pro? Is upgrading worth the value than buying DB3? I hope you’ll read this. Thank you so much man, great reviews!
I have the TRN IM2 now. Should I sidegrade to this??? An answer would be much appreciated 😁😁 My problem on the IM2 is mainly because of the emphasized bass. Also the sound gets affected when I walk while wearing it.
They have diff sig, and presentation. Its possible they an coexist with each other, so they are not far off. I would personally go for 30$ range if you wanna buy a new one
@@zpolt BLON is getting a lot of hype lately so I might consider it. But just in case my budget can't reach to $30 range, would this be the best choice overall? I prefer a more balanced sound signature.
@@zpolt ty i think its my next iem because i dont like treble sparkle and i like mids and bass do you have any suggestion under 40 dolars with these terms or i should buy db3 for 17 dolars wich is good for me:)
I really want to try one of this. But the DB3 faceplate are look really crappy work and cheap. They should make it in satin finish like NX7 or ZSN Pro.
CCA C12 has better performance than the C10. The new generation are simply better performing across the board. They're still good but for someone that is starting fresh it's better to start with the newer releases. KZ/CCA doesn't make backward steps luckily and while they make small improvements with each new generation they ARE better than the last generation.
Zsn pro for me is not recommended for bassheads, especially treble sensitive one. Masyadong sibilant ang zsn pro na umaabot sa point na di ko na sya kayang pakinggan ng mas matagal
Yeah, I was having problem with the treble since the first time I listen to them. It was sharp & rough for my ear. It was too tiring for my ear to listen to them for a long period of time
Harvey Rocafor How much Power do you give them? My ZSN PRO has massive amounts of controlled bass with my big amps. Not as much as TFZ T2 Galaxy but still very good.

Great review, it seems we have the same taste in sound frequency response thus I will follow your recommendation on the Nicechk DB3. Can you also do a comparison between the DB3 and the BQEYZ KC2. Another reviewer was floored with the sound of this KC2 and I am in a dilemma which to choose among the 2 iem.
Would you recommend this for fps gaming ? like can it hear the exact location of the footsteps of players around me ?
what is better db3 or es4? ive watched earphone awards and ive seen that es4 has the best warmth which is what im looking for balanced/warmth.
Probably better invest in newer IEM like Kbear KS1
And what about the cable. Looks cheaper than the cable of the KZ?
comparison between guideray and DB3?
Thanks for this Super duper review. I'm thinking which is more balance, 2BA+1DD or 1BA+2DD???
which has better bass, nicehck db3 or moondrop spaceship?
Sounds like CCA C10, is it so?
Which one good for clean punchy bass and very good sound clarity (zns pro or db3 or bl03)
Which is better ST1 or ZSN pro X
Can you recommend some iems like Blon bl-03 but with little bit more treble? I don't like elevation in 2-4k range it makes guitars sound weird and vocals sibilant. Something with nice bass and treble extension?
Tin t4

What should i buy for monitoring my guitar and music listening ? DB3 or ZSN PRO??
Probably TRN BA5 his favorite monitoring IEM in $50 range. Or probably DB3 will work since it's quite neutral sounding
How does this compare to the KZ ES4s?
How is the mic quality? Is it muffled or clear?
How is it compared to ed16?
