Castor Pro (Harman Target Version)

i enjoy castor pro balance, thinking about getting duonic but missed good sale on it, would wait for good deal

They are nice, eartips and cable while not being great are ok to use, but if you feel like updating them, cheap kbear 07 eartips and qkz t1 would be good budget options, also if duonic is in your budget you better get it instead, it's overall improvement compared to castor albeit not as big

kz duonic (bass version with switches, it's better than castor pro if you're taking about it), moondrop chu 2 (if you don't live in humid environment), tangzu wan'er 2 red lion, trn dolphin (if you want bright iem) Also get cheap cx31993 dac without additional amp chip, it should be enough for any of those

I wanna suggest my setup for audio as I use KZ castor pro (Harman target) for 1800rs with Apple DAC 800rs. If you LOVE VOCALS and PUNCHY BASE then this setup is really good and way under your budget but remember the base is totally original not boosted so if you love much base then forget this setup although there is a "KZ Castor pro (Harman target with improved bass" version too if you wanna check it out. I use DAC only on my phone because laptops give enough power to the earphones to get their full potential but DAC also changes sound so it comes down to preference. Also these IEMs come with 4 tuning switches so you can tune the sound for you preference too. Vocals sometimes sound sharp though.

Well deamn you got a nice collection there! I recently bought the KZ Castor pro Harman target to match them with my iPod classic 5th gen but I’m not 100% satisfied with the sound. I really like my AirPods Pro 2nd gen and I’m looking for a pair of iems that will sound as great as my pro’s. You got any recommendations?

Depends on your music preferences mate 😊But if you’re starting out the castor pro is good for a beginner. KZ generally targets V-Shaped sound signature which appeals to a lot of casual listeners. The elevated bass would sound great to you in hip-hop and rap songs. The elevated highs might appeal to you if listen to electronic music.

if you have access to zvx pro i'd go for those otherwise i'd take the kz gale as a more balanced allrounder or caastor pro if you're a basshead
