EPZ - K9

Anyway, where did you buy this set ? Stars Pickers or Victoria Audio... Based on my testing last month, the EPZ P50 indeed balanced and all-rounder set, but when listening to pop music or anything that lively it lacks the emotion as they tend to sound boring... Compared to EPZ K9, it has same detail and balanced sound, but they more V-shaped from the EPZ P50, and of course in higher price than it.

Aliexpress has it For 557 usd and ebay at 379 usd now… prices keep jumping! I have this iem!
