How it compares to KZ Castor Harman: Less sibilant Slightly brighter sound. More energy past 8khz Inferior detail retrieval due to it's tuning What I like: The dip in the presence region makes it sound less fatiguing, though detail retrieval is affected in turn Inclusion of switches to fine tune the sound to your liking, though it does very little to the sound Bottom Line Polaris is another strong contender at the $10 price point.

What I like: Sub-bass focus -> no bass bleed into the mids Lean note weight, or having no warmth -> cleaner upper mid-range Presence dip -> no sibilance Moderate brightness -> less fatiguing If you came from the EDX Pro, this is what you can expect to hear: Less bass Less perceived clarity from its less peaky treble (only if your ears can handle the EDX Pro's treble) Smoother sound overall Better detail retrieval The EDX Pro X has a safer V-shape tuning, making it a much easier recommendation compared to its predecessor. If you couldn't try both...

Let's skip the bs and jump straight into how they sound. Sound They sound very similar to the KZ Ling Long (LL) which I will be comparing them with. The Changle is tested using Dunu S&S eartips with JCALLY AP7 and Galaxy Note 9. Bass Sub-bass is more pronounced than mid-bass, just like the LL. In fact, both sound identical in terms of the quality of bass. It does not sound punchy and energetic because of the lack of mid-bass. Mids Midrange is clean and natural sounding. Lower mids are more lush than the LL, by just a bit. There is a boost in upper...

Box Contents Box Six pair of BGVP eartips A pair of foam tips (ew) Zhulinniao's BB Latex eartips Introduction Another sub $20 iem. ** checkouts instantly ** Sound I would describe the Shanghua as Neutral but with SLIGHT HINT OF BRIGHTNESS WITH MANY EXLAIMATION MARKS!!! I will be comparing it to the Tanchjim Zero as they are quite similar to each other. Technicalities They are alright. Separation is decent. Sound stage is average but with decent height. Zero easily wins here. Bass Pretty flat but I'm surprised by the sub-bass rumble and texture...

Introduction‎ I was casually scrolling through Facebook one day and I saw a post from the ChiFi Audio group with the IEM named "Linglong". I thought to myself: "Huh. Does KZ, a Chinese brand not know that it is a racial slur used against Asian people (including myself)? That is amusing. " Eventually after my ADHD brain settled down I realized that it is a bullet-styled IEM, a design that I prefer. I then proceed to check on how much they cost at my local marketplace. $8!? I promptly made the purchase (impulsively) despite the fact that I don't...
