I got them for the same price after not expecting to buy anything for 11-11 and BFriday. Of course now they're trapped in the black hole that is NLPost. When I saw they were being shipped that way I knew it would be a long wait and it has been... I ordered some phone cases two weeks ago and...

I think I'm officially done with KZ. I got into IEMs because of them but when I look at the box of unused KZ IEMs and all the other stuff that has transpired I don't see the need to keep coming back to this company. I grabbed the CRA and the ESX because they were both $10 and under. I never...

Yeah but for a $100+ you get a black cardboard box, a slab of useless metal, a cheap cable, and what could be crap, meh, good, great or just suspect IEMs that aren't the same as the review copies.

I normally buy new cables from XINHS but decided to grab some new NiceHCK cables. A couple of Blackcats, JiaLai and the PurpleSE. Strictly for the build quality and the visual esthetics.

My PR2 from the Global store arrived yesterday. Revised version. Listened to a few tracks on the Fiio M7 using the Tempore BHD 2.5mm. The last KZs I bought were the CRA and the ESX when they $8/10 CAD respectively. Like most of my KZs they pretty much just take up space. Aria and the QoA...

I've had my Z4 since July 2021. Aside from testing a 512gb card I've barely touched it in months. Battery was dead so I charged it last night. Checked that it was full then went to bed. This morning I played a couple of tracks from the new Revolver mono album. No issues. Battery seems to be...

I've had a 400GB card in mine since day one. No issues. Have not tried a 512. I have over 4700 files on mine. A mix of FLAC, DSF and ISO. The Z4 is very barebones and basic. It doesn't scan like my Sony or Fiio DAPs do. It's just a folder tree that you scroll through to get to the album or song...

Yeah, I get it. After several hours and differing albums I think the ESX is pretty good for Rock and Metal. Male voices def sound better than females. Resolution is lacking somewhat, but there's enough there for an enjoyable listen as a beater/commuter pair. I don't like the styling of the...

Yeah, I really don't need the ESX, just like I didn't need the CCA CRA (paid $8 CAD) or the ZEX Pro. Sometimes the hype train is a nice ride, sometimes you get knocked onto the third rail by the hype train, sometimes you don't even bother going to the station. I plan on avoiding the station. At...

The ESX arrived today. I told myself that I was done with KZ but somehow I got pulled back in... Well, a better than average AE coupon plus a store coupon that brought the price down to $10.60 CAD/8.16 USD is probably the biggest reason why... After a brief run listening to Anglagard's Hyrbis...

My CRA arrived today. I've been on an almost 2hr zoom call so no listening yet. Took one pic during an especially boring stretch....

The Zex Pro is a nice try from KZ. A noble failure and a good attempt at creating a new sound signature. I think the hardware is the problem. Maybe better drivers is the key. I got into IEMs through KZ but the treble has always been an issue for me. My favourite KZ family IEM is still the CCA...

It's all good. They're with Canada Post as of this morning but because it's a 4 day long weekend, I probably won't see them until the 30th or 31st. I've [knock on wood] never had an issue with any purchases from Alie (except one that never left the store and was automatically refunded after 7...

My CRA's have been on a long and strange journey... They "went" from Hong Kong to Earth, YYZ in a few hours at Ridiculous Speed then "back" to China! Ahh... International tracking in the time of Covid, with a dash of Christmas thrown in. Gotta luv it. :yum:

After sitting under a pile of newspapers at my local Canada Post sorting depot for 7 days, my Zex Pro finally showed up. The CRA's should arrive by Tuesday if they don't end up under that same pile...

My CRA's are finally on the move. Should be shipped out of Hong Kong on Thurs/Fri, while my Zex Pro's should be delivered tomorrow or Tuesday.

I never bought the BL-03 because of the fit issues. I avoided the BL-05s because it looked god awful. I did try the BL-01 which I could never get a great seal with then I just avoided everything they've put out since then. The comments and reviews did not make me feel that I missed out on...

I got the shipping number for mine on Dec 6th but no activity since then. Wonder if there's a supply pinch. Other items )Zex Pro) I ordered after the CRA have already landed in Canada and I should get them early this coming week. Not that I'm in a rush for the CRA's. At $12 CAD I have very...

My KZ S2 TWS does the exact same thing. If the charging case runs out before fully charging the S2, the S2 will turn on automatically. Really annoying. I'm pretty sure that I've read about the other KZ TWS' doing the exact same thing.

RIP my ApP80. The battery swelled so much it popped the back cover off. Had to dispose of it before it became a more serious issue.

How does the DSDs compare to the Z4 when it comes to heat? Sometimes I feel like the Z4 could cook an egg sunnyside up.

Never heard of Estas Tonne but I do know Wanderwelle. If you never heard of the site, Headphone Commute is great place to learn about Ambient, Drone and several other styles of music. https://headphonecommute.com/
