Well. I tried not to generalise at all, on the contrary, I wanted to be specific enough. I didn't use the "You got it free so this review is no longer valid" argument at all. In my post to which you are responding I clearly expressed my understanding of the necessity of reviewing free samples...- 4ceratops

Sorry, I didn't check the translator. Of course correctly it should have said "No, I really don't think reviewers shouldn't review free samples sent by the manufacturer or retailer." Otherwise, the following sentence would not make sense. I apologize again for the error.- 4ceratops

You probably didn't read my response with comprehension, or you are deliberately misleading. I expressed my full understanding of free samples for reviewers (otherwise they would have almost nothing to write about). What bothers me, however, is sometimes too much servility on the part of...- 4ceratops

Sincere thanks for the reply, as my question kind of violated your comfort zone. No, I really don't believe reviewers should evaluate free samples sent by the manufacturer or retailer. That's obviously not how it works in a professional environment either, and otherwise it would be an...- 4ceratops

I salute you and will be glad to take advantage of your declared willingness to reply. Yesterday in your post here you announced the preparation of a review of the KZ ZS10 PRO 2 and provided a link to purchase them at LINSOUL. This is a store that sells them for about $20 more than the...- 4ceratops

Fortunately, even someone who considers them worth $55 doesn't have to buy them at that price. It's only LINSOUL that tries to sell them at this exorbitant price. Other reputable sellers will settle if you pay them $20 less for them 🙃- 4ceratops

Fortunately, I've never had any problem with delivery of orders from reliable shops on Ali, and of course shipping was also free. That $20 price difference is hard to justify from my point of view. Can I have a question? Was that free sample for testing sent to you by LINSOUL?- 4ceratops

To this I would like to say only that no one in their right mind will buy KZ ZS10 PRO 2 from LINSOUL, as they can be bought 20 dollars cheaper in reputable shops on Aliexpress. Doing an ad for LINSOUL under these circumstances strikes me as slightly perverse. I own the PRO 2, and I recommend...- 4ceratops

I just ordered the Qigom S130A. So God forbid if I experience disappointment 😄 But joking aside, can I expect something qualitatively on the level of FF3? Won't someone try to review them or at least briefly describe or compare them just to FF3?- 4ceratops

Yes, I have the black ones on at the moment. They improve the midbass presence a bit and slightly tame the heat on the higher mids and highs. But I don't use them. Since I got the Artti T10, the KZ planars have lost their relevance for me.- 4ceratops

Earbuds Round-Up
I personally own only 32 Ohm Plus and 300 Ohm. I like the tuning of the 32 Ohm Plus much better (cleaner bass, better, more detailed mids, and overall much more natural sounding compared to the 300 Ohm, even after connecting them to a desktop amp). I haven't tried the basic 32 Ohm version yet...- 4ceratops

I have to agree that Castor Bass has the bass sorted out, but those extremely drowned mids and irritating (and stripped away from the rest) highs make him just a genre performer for electronic music without vocals. Listening to anything acoustic, it's an ordeal. CCA Trio is much better, although...- 4ceratops
