New Head-Fier
For EPZ Q5 in In-Ear
Pros: + Engaging power from low to high frequencies
+ Clear, no issues with clarity
+ Neutral sounding
Cons: - Entry-level cable quality
- MMCX connector (some people might prefer 2-pin)
- Extended treble could be longer
- Bass and sub-bass feel short (depends on preference)
- Micro-detail is nothing special
After previously reviewing its sibling, the EPZ Q1 Pro released in 2024, it turns out that EPZ also released the Q5 in late 2023. I thought the Q1 Pro would be an improvement over the Q5...

ToneDeafMonk

Previously known as TheDeafMonk
Pros: πŸ˜ƒ $399 Experience for this price I give top marks for its tuning, build quality and sound performance.
πŸ˜ƒ Bass is standout textured punchy & clean ,goes crazy low and maintains a perfect balance of decay and musicality.
πŸ˜ƒ The Sonion 2300 series BA used for the Mids have just like the rest of the tuning, have a pitch perfect tonality and timbre ultra uncolored and musical at the same time. Definitely not a boring set the Pilgrim engages you with sweet vocals and perfectly accurate instrumental playback.
πŸ˜ƒ Upper Mids and Highs are very well done with the use of very high quality Sonion Balanced Armature Drivers were a perfect choice and tuned to get the absolute most out of the details in the music and give you a realistic sense of a full 10hz - 20kHz experience.
πŸ˜ƒ The Pilgrim plays back music like so few rarely do. This set sets up the stage like you are either in the audience, behind the band backstage or behind the glass in the studio. Projecting vocals and instrumental within thier own space and at various heights and depth well well done and a wonderful experience.
πŸ˜€ Pentaconn Ear I love this proprietary connection, this makes the ultimate termination with strong signal pass through but also fit and wearing experience second to none!
πŸ˜ƒ Provided case and cable all premium and feels premium adding to the overall wonderful unboxing experience that shames much higher end offerings.
πŸ˜ƒ Back to the sound I love how the Pilgrim offers you a clean and balanced tuning offering exceptional clarity and resolution, while also giving you a fun and engaging listen to whatever music your mood is flowing into you the Pilgrim can deliver the emotion out to your ears.
Cons: πŸ€” The Pilgrim's shorter nozzles will play a big part of your experience if you can't get a good seal or deeper insertion. Use a O ring to help extend your favorite eartips.
πŸ€” The SPC might be too bright for some depending on your source and eartips and of course your tuning preference.
Use of a pure OFCC cable mellows the upper mids and treble just a smidge. BUT because of the use of Pentacomm Ear terminations, cable swapping won't be a easy as the most common 0.78mm 2 pin terminations.

yea the more I'm listening to it, the more I dislike the thin vocals, and the bass sometimes overpowers the mids, especially when using the AZ20 Bluetooth adaptor.

yes, because symphony is not the type of iem for vocals

500+ Head-Fier
Pros: ● Durable composite shell structure.
● Regardless of its size, it fits well to my medium size ears due its smooth contours thus it provides better passive noise isolation.
● That metal pattern banding look on its faceplate looks pretty gorgeous.
● Tri-brid driver set-up has excellent cohesive performance.
● Like all midranger sets, This set has a lot of accessories.
● Premium-quality stock cable with modularity feature.
● Its new stock ear tips have the potential to be one of the best in the market.
● A well-balanced mild U to U-shaped tuning
● Reverberating and vivacious bass response.
● Fairly textured, dense and energetic midrange presentation.
● Perhaps it has some vocal versatility on it, excellent on tracking some tenors, countertenors, mezzo-sopranos and sopranos.
● Good for instruments with some metallic timbre like brasses and some woodwinds.
● Bright, airy and sparkling treble response.
● One of the most resolving sets that I've heard in the midrange segment.
● Outstanding overall technical capabilities, from sound/speaker stage up to the layering and separation.
Cons: ● Definitely not a neutral sounding one due to its coloured tuning.
● Instances of slight sibilance especially on sibilant-laden tracks.
● While it is not to be considered as strident, the energetic and tinny sound might be bothersome to some treble sensitive folk.

500+ Head-Fier
Pros: ● Solid, high quality shell structure.
● Surprisingly, despite its size, it can give a good fitting to medium ear size.
● Somehow well-accessorised as it has good quality storage case and two types of ear tips to choose from.
● For a planar magnetic set, this is one of the easiest to drive among all planar sets available in the market.
● Warm and musical tonality
● Tactile, authoritative bass response for a planar set.
● Warm, lush and smooth midrange presentation.
● Appealing to listener who loves most type of male vocals and contraltos
● Smooth yet airy treble presentation.
● Solid macro-dynamics
● One of the few sets that have less β€œplanar glint and energetic” timbre on its entirety of its tuning.
Cons: ● Non-competitive stock cable for its asking price.
● Well, planars…you still need a better power output on this to deliver that optimal sound quality.
● Not for neutral heads.
● With the existing of even more competitive pricing planar sets around, it will be a tough battle ahead for this set.
● Not the most technical sounding planar set that I've tested.
