EPZ - P50

Aful p5+2, myer audio ck2v, kiwi ears ke4, epz p50, ziigaat odyssey. The 200$ish range has a lot of hidden gems based on my experience, so check them out. For EDM I think you need a good textured bass, great instrument separation, and good treble extension, but that's my preference, so I can hear the details from what the producer intended.

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.

IEMs cables can be swapped to many other 3rd party cables no matter if( 2 pin 0.78mm or 0.75mm) S pin/QDC or MMCX Or others I have adapters for my Sennheiser ie200 ie600 that allows 2 pin 0.78mm cable to be used with them. TBH all my IEMs use different cables and different tips than what they came with as my own preference. Tips are very important for the sound of IEMs to get a proper seal in your ears. The tips and seal can make a huge difference between each person using the IEMs the better the seal the better the sound. Watch YT review Audio monk is a good iem and dap reviewer Gizaudio is another Super reviews is also ok The DUNU titan X looks good dual drivers metal shell 37 $ AliExpress YT review... https://youtu.be/JMjY45C6a0I Cheaper single Dynamic driver IEMs would be the TRN Conch to dip your toes in the water decent quality for cheap price also a lot of extras included for the QDC cable. I got mine for 13usd from AliExpress You just need to try a few different IEMs and pick up a few different types of cheaper IEMs to find what you like driver and tuning wise. More mids more treble or lower Along with a selection of IEMs tips to get the best seal you can the seal can help make IEMs sing So you find your preferred sound profile of IEMs I started with a couple of cheap kz IEMs like the Castor bass edition IEMs Then I tried a few TRN IEMs TRN Conch IEMs TRN crinnical zero red IEMs good bass Attri T10 planar IEM planar Planar only driver IEMs is too peaky to many ears For me it's fatigue which gives me a headache after a short while micro planar as part of a multi driver setup in IEMs can give great details retrieval combined with Dynamic driver and BA drivers. Everyone is different to what tunings or drivers they like prefer or what their own ears can stand. Planar can give a fast punchy pace with fast bass, high treble more detail retrieval. But so can a combo of Dynamic driver & BAs combos. Then i tried some more expensive multi driver IEMs some can be found cheaper in sales. I don't think I paid full price for any IEMs after the zero reds due to sales or discount codes from AliExpress and it's games login daily to build up coins that give money off once you have items in basket. For a good bass the QOA Adonis new IEMs I really like They are great also have nice details for instrumental music. EPZ P50 IEMs = Crystal clear sound. Awful performer 5+2 great alrounder good details good bass. Shanling Me600 are a warmer IEM to my ears like old 70s fuller warmer speakers and Amps metal shells gives nice bass and details. PULA PA02 IEMs to me gives fast punchy sound great alrounder as well Sennheiser ie200 tape modded f With memory foam tips good for acoustics MTV unplugged music Sennheiser ie600 better sound than the ie200 but for the price I think some of the ones above do sound better but the fitting cannot be beaten these can sit in your ears all day night with zero discomfort at all. But are pricey for a single 7mm Dynamic driver. Cables Lots of cheap decent OCC cables to be had for cheap. Yongse makes some cheap but decent quality IEMs cables depending on if you want a braided thin or thicker cable in different materials terminations. Most expensive cable I own are DUNU hulk IEMs cables can buy in either MMCX or 2Pin and have a modular connection so can swap terminations to type C 2.5mm 3.tmm 3.5mm pro or 4.4mm. I buy from AliExpress during sales discounts and wait for a week or more sometimes Because it's much cheaper if you're buying during a sale. You can look up the connection of your IEMs type and then buy in 3.5mm or 4.4 some cables have switchable plugs For 3.5mm to 4.4mm. So you can swap over from 3.5mm to 4.4mm. depending on what you are hooking them into Sometimes the manufacturers can make the IEMs and offer them in different connections MMCX or 2Pin 0.78mm You can pick which IEMs sound profile you prefer Then look for alternative cables and tips The QDC/ S pin connections tends to be the Cheaper IEMs mostly like KZ offerings. They sell a lot bectthey are cheaper than most but quality control can be a little off from set to set. Whilst other manufacturers Of the more expensive IEMs tend to use either 0.78mm 2 Pin Or MMCX or both As it's terminations into IEMs anything usually over 30 or 40 USD tends to use MMCX or 0.78mm. It is all trial and error for IEM sound profile Or watch a lot of reviews on YT to get a feel for what they say about said IEMs A single Dynamic driver can produce some great sound alone So not always the need to jump up to multi driver IEMs with BAs (balanced armatures) Or planar magnetic drivers or micro planar drivers which can range from a few USD to hundreds depending on it's manufacturer the coating used or tunings until you find your preferred sound profile. I would start with YouTube and watch a few reviews look up what sound profile you are wanting from your IEMs. Using IEMs on stage you may just want a neutral plain sound profile Whereas most music listeners many enjoy a more fun engaging sound that performers do not want whilst performing

Could try something with EST and very smooth extension if you want minimal masking like HBB Punch which is basically a KE4 with ESTs, though you're going to want to eq the bass down on punch if you want technical. Or you can try something bright like the Braindance. Also harman tuning overall like Volare/Variations would be good as they have a midbass tuck which leaves a clean impression and wider stage, or a bass-light airy harman like Studio4. Lower mids and 3k scoop can also open up the stage a lot, make everything sound very wide and enveloping and leave a very technical impression/much more layering/better perceived detail retrieval like SA6 mk2 (or ultra if you can find one) which are tuned rly similarly to Anole VX. EPZ P50 could be a good more affordable choice it's still a tribrid, with microplanars handling the treble.

Não tenho do ie falar mal desse fone, eu também tenho um P50 aqui e te digo uma coisa, ele fica colado no P50 e é bem mais barato. O P50 é fodaaa, só ver os reviews. Acho que a vantagem que o P50 leva em cima dele é só um pouco no detalhamento que também está relacionado aos agudos serem um pouco mais elevados e arejados.

When I started in the hobby, I had some Kzs, they were good, but then when I got my most expensive headphones at the time, the HEXA, it was a noticeable leap in quality. Then came the P50, which for me was the headphone that gave me the most "wow" feeling. The Hype 2 was also absurdly good, superior quality, and for me, more pleasant than some of the more expensive headphones I've used. So, yes, there is a difference, and I think it's worth investing more, but wisely, because not everything that's more expensive will actually please you as much.

The p50 has a promising looking modular connector, being quite small and 90 degree to boot. Pity that I heard the cable itself is relatively stiff. That said, modular cables have no benefit for me, I will pretty much never make use of the modular aspect.

Ya i came to same conclusion , but EPZ P50 sounds better to me then day break ! They are similar but the P50 sounds smoother and has better detail retrieval and imaging ! The daybreaks are boring imo and nothing special , if you just want regular clear sound and normal ok tuning sound ! And just want it only cuz it says CRINEAR be my guest ! This was a blind buy cuz I wanted to see , but once you have the H60s ! There’s just nothing in the price bracket or under that’s even worth getting anymore if you like high detail and reference level . And my H30s already have the best neutral/natural sound signature iv ever heard even better then Hexa imo . But crin made it sound like he gave the daybreaks the highest quality /price ratio he could . But I didn’t hear that ! These cost me $169 plus tax . And they sound exactly like $169 sound . I guess if you like this sound signature and just want to own the crinear brand to collect it . I understand . But this was a disappointment for what I was expecting . Idk why my hopes were to high ! I mean I could give more of a burn in for another few days ! I do like the faceplate and the cable is alright , the fit is better than most, the comfortable fit reminds me of the MOONDROP Mays fit . What I can say is there really well made and feel solid ,durable !

EPZ P50 and then get a cable that has a mic on it. Imo, one of the best for gaming as well, not just music.

You are better off with the Astrals, as an owner of the Volume S the soundstage of the Volume S is not that ideal, for it is really narrow. Then again IEMs in the first place are not exactly that good in that depart due to their size and small form. So yeah go with the Astrals. If you want an open feel, EPZ P50s, those are really good as well.
