Been having a blast with the Sgor Luna as well. Technicality is amazing and I couldn't agree more with the general consensus gathered around it, although it was a little tad bit boring compared to my first iems, the kz edx pro 2.
But I bet you can EQ it to your own preferences if you are willing to minmax out the iems' overall resonance, I also have an EQ that I have refined for my own personal taste- for me, it sort of opens up the soundstage by a discernable degree. If you like to EQ I suggest you can EQ it with respect to the type of driver an IEM has, so treble and mids are probably the areas where you can hone it to its fullest potential as it is a planar driver.

Kz edx pro 2 from me quite fun IMO for my first budget iem. Primarily focuses on v shaped tuning; my hot take is it's bassy, retains mids, and trebles. Quite literally blew my bose headphones out of the water except on soundstage, personally clarity is phenomenal on the IEMs.
Tudo de boa pessoal?, Farei um review simplificado sobre os fones que estão comigo no momento. Eu não tenho o melhor conhecimento no mundo da audiofilia, mas este será um review 100% sincero do que eu achei deles.
Kz edc pro: continua sendo um bom custo beneficio, tendo uma assinatura em V bem resolvida, palco sonoro bem decente, separação de instrumentos e imagem boa, médios um pouco recuados mas naturais, graves com boa extensão e agudos não sibilantes porém com um pouco de falta de resolução. Qualidade de construção ok
Kz edx pro 2: uma clara melhora em relação a primeira versão, contudo eu achei ele muito parecido com o edc pro, comparando os dois o edx pro 2 tem os médios um pouco mais resolvidos e os graves mais presentes com uma boa resolução. A qualidade de construção dele é um pouco melhor.
Trn mt4 pro: uma assinatura sonora um pouco mais calma comparada ao edc pro, médios ligeiramente mais recuados e anasalados que o edc pro, graves mais magros entretanto com boa extensão e resolução, agudos excelentes tendo resolução e arejamento bons, palco sonoro bom, separação instrumental e imagem um pouco melhores que o edc pro. Qualidade de construção boa.
Kz merga: uma assinatura sonora mais brilhante, chegando a ser um pouco treeblehead, agudos bem fortes com um pouco de sibilância, médios mais recuados e menos cheios porém não são ruins, graves mais recuados mas com boa extensão, palco sonoro mais fechado, separação instrumental e imagem surpreendente bons para sua faixa de preço. Qualidade de construção ok.
Dylan De 215: uma assinatura sonora também focada em agudos porém melhor executada do que o kz merga, médios mais frontais e naturais, graves mais recuados, agudos fortes mas com uma qualidade geral e resolução melhor que o edc pro,edx pro 2 ,merga e trn 4 pro. Palco sonoro mais aberto e separação instrumental e imagem muito bons. Qualidade de construção ok.
Sgor venus: uma assinatura sonora em v com menos graves e mais médio agudos,palco sonoro amplo e separação de instrumentos e imagem bem nítida, um bom iem para jogos, porém achei ele o mais fraco em musicalidade desta lista. Qualidade de construção boa
Kz Duonic bass version: testei ele com todas as chaves no on (1111), uma assinatura sonora em V bem equilibrada com uma presença maior de graves no ponto certo, Médios frontais e naturais, sendo bons tanto em vozes femininas quanto masculinas, agudos muito bem resolvidos, em arejamento, resolução e extensão. Graves e subgraves excelentes, não chegam a ser basshead mais são os melhores desta lista, boa velocidade e tem punch, palco sonoro amplo e separação instrumental e imagem bem acima da média. Qualidade de construção muito boa.
Gk kunten: o iem do momento , e te aviso não é só hype, ele tem uma assinatura sonora em v muito bem feita, tendo médios corretíssimos e naturais, graves e subgraves com presença,extensão e punch, agudos incríveis melhores que o Duonic tendo extensão e resolução excelentes, Palco sonoro amplo e separação de instrumentos e imagem bem acima da média. Qualidade de construção boa.
Dos que eu testei o Gk kunten e o kz Duonic se saíram melhor no geral, tanto em tecnicalidades quanto em qualidade geral, (não que os outros sejam ruims) qual escolher entre os dois vai depender da sua preferência sonora, por exemplo eu achei o kz duonic melhor em alguns estilos musicais e o gk kunten em outros, porém claramente o gk kunten ganharia em custo beneficio por ser mais barato que o Duonic.
Obrigado por ler até aqui , essas são minhas opiniões subjetivas sobre os fones, se quiser acrescentar alguma coisa ou falar sobre suas experiências próprias podem comentar!!!.
For a bit more bass/sub-bass (+/-2-3dB) the EDX Pro 2 have the same tuning with just a bit of bass boost.
https://enemyspider.squig.link/?share=GALE,EDXP2
Edit. If you have one there is no need for the other, they sound really close to each other.
I think is better this way than a balanced and a bass enhanced version of the same model.
Yes, there is not much publicity, shame because they are nice indeed especially for the price.
Edit. They got rid of the (awful) mesh filter and use a damper instead that alone should be reason enough to promote it.
Yes about the cable, I feel the same but this are low cost and is understandable the Zenith on the other hand is an absolute shame, they make it really difficult to reconcomed without mentioning a new cable.
I have it (for a couple of days now) and like it better than other KZ offerings like the EDX Pro 2, Gale and ZVX Pro, the treble is lower than the ZVX Pro but not as low as the Gale it has no peaks or harshness for me. I really like the tuning.
To me it sounds fuller than the ZVX Pro and more detailed than the Gale/EDX Pro 2.
They are very tip sensitive they come with short stem Starlines (which I usually skip but) those are the ones that worked better for me after trying a wide variety, tips mostly affect the treble and with some it can become harsh.
Kunten > Gale > EDX Pro 2 > Polaris > ZVX Pro (it has too much treble for me).
Yes for the Gale and EDX Pro 2 (but isolation and build quality are a bit worse, the Kunten looks and feels better on hand) not so much for the ZVX Pro they have too much treble and I find the Polaris uncomfortable.
The original EDX Pro is really more on the V-shaped bright tuning, and many don't like its bright tuning.
If you really like bass, Castor Harman is not your IEM. I would either suggest going to like Saga Bass or Castor Bass, or Dawn.
Castor Harman (1100 switches), Gale, EDC Pro, EDX Pro 2, and Saga Balanced is more leaning towards balanced-ish tuning.
Castor Harman (0000 switches) is more leaning to mild-V shaped bright, (0011 switches) neutral bright tuning
Terms of improvement or any differences, if you want versatility and easy to adjust to almost any tuning, go for the Castor Harman (tuning switches and EQ)
If you want to not fiddle with switches and/or EQ, go for the EDC Pro, EDX Pro 2, and Saga series.
EDX Pro 2 and Saga Bass would definitely be a slightly more warmer set than EDC Pro.
EDC Pro would be similar-ish in bass and mids with the EDX Pro 2, but a brighter treble, abit closer to balanced than warm or bright.
But the EDC Pro was original reference tuning for many newer KZ IEMs, like the EDX Pro 2 and Saga Bass.
They just refined the sound overtime, Zenith was the pinnacle of that tuning, especially alot of people really preferred the warmer sound.
Even other KZs have been tuned to a tamer treble than classic KZ sets. Though recent new new releases have been using the Castor and Castor Pro Bass tuning with refinements on treble, and bass for the bass versions of the new KZ IEMs.

EDX Pro if you want brighter sound experience, EDC Pro and Gale if you want a warmer sound experience
EDX Pro is also an older KZ tuning, most newer KZs originally was tuned from the EDC Pro.
welp, it does sounds like a replace but my point is More than anything, that even if the tuning is better for you, there is a fair chance they wont "wow" you when compared to the TWS, so do take it in mind.
I still stand by the Tanchjim Bunny rec tho, if you want to mess with adjusting sound via DSP, i am not sure if moondrop new budget DACs actually support DSP functionalities tho.
If you want a stock tuning that leans on what you asked for, KZ EDX Pro 2 would be it, but you Should consider changing accesories (cable and eartips).
If you are going to play with the DSP tuning then near everything is fine, i guess consider Salnotes Zero 2 for its driver as a first option, Bunny is still a good stock iem too but it seems it will take some time, at that point you might aswell choose based on avalible sets and short shipping dates: Truthear Gate, Simgot EW100p, tangzu Waner 2, even if there is some differences on bass quality, they arent that big in this price range, the sound adjusting via the echo b would do more for you than anything else.
(Kz Gale and EDX Pro 2 also have quite nice drivers, but build quality is very very basic overall).
Also, not sure the specific reason for going directly to a 4.4mm cable but a 3.5mm cable would do just fine if your concern is powering the iems.
If you also want decent accesories that Would be more complicated, most budget iems doesnt come with super good ones, but in terms of EQ, a lot of very budget sets are quite easily to play With, i personally found the Tangzu Waner original (not the 2) quite good for it, but worked better for bassy stuff more than anything.
There are a lot of KZ Budget sets that are nice but accesories are horrible, you could get KZ PR3 for like $30 and EQ it quite easily to something way more enjoyable (personally i like to use the Letshouer S08 as a EQ target), but mostly any KZ planar after the PR1 for that matter, tho they could use a good dongle to power them.
There is also the KZ Gale or the EDX Pro 2 which are very budget but quite competitive but very budget build quality and accesories even more.
Honestly, Bunny is already from the better ones since they have a decent overall quality and a stock tuning that is easier to adjust (like Waner, without much peaks to control with EQ).
if you have some money left, i guess just get a better cable, honestly, most stuff under $30 would do more or less the same decent job and fit and comfort would be the bigger issue to focus on, tho, hard V-shape iems like G1 wouldnt recomend it for EQ, it has peaks to tame in the treble, maybe Simgot EW200 if you get it for $40 bucks or less could do the job.
Well, there is a difference between an iem with a DSP cable and a type-c cable, if you want a DSP one (which means it has at least an Equalization loaded into it, youll have less options, IF you just want one iem that already comes with a type-c cable, and youll just wavelet and whatnot to EQ it, you have more options like actually the Waner 2, the TRN Orca (which also come with tuning switches to play with, that do change sound), Salnotes Zero and Zero 2, etc.
Btw, now that i remember too, If you havent checked it yet:
This is a Sub $50-ish iem list i made:
[- Click Here -](https://www.reddit.com/r/iems/s/ewQg6y32HB)
Is recently updated with most current decent iems on the market to search for, and some mentioned if they have with type-c alternative (tho i think that still needs a bit of an update lol, some iems got the Type-c options recently, or i forgot to mention they do).
Anyway, in there, check the Sgor Luna, for about $42 bucks you can get it along with actually a basic dongle DAC to use at least for now, is pretty decent for a beginer if you can spend the extra bucks.
If it can be a KZ, ill say try a KZ EDX Pro 2 and save up money for an upgrade.
If you dont want KZ and want a clear bass focus, QKZxHBB.
If you really want a very energetic and bassy iem, Kbear Rosefinch.
And if you just want a safe (should sound fine) kind of iem with decent amount of bass, Salnotes Zero 2.
More than that i cant really pick for you brother xd.
For a full combo on the buy:
TRN Conch: Slightly bright V-shape.
Already includes a great cable and nice eartips from yhe brand. unless you are very sensitive to treble, it is not too problematic (though i personally recomend it better with Dunu Candy eartips).
---
For a combo buy:
KZ EDX Pro 2: Bassy soft V-shape (a more bassy EW300 kinda tuning).
Accesorios, specially eartips, are near unusable so -->
\--> Cable: QKZ T1, very cheap, very good.
\--> Eartips: Kbear 07 for better balanced sound or Kbear 08 for a more comfortable and deep fit.
Actually been rocking the EDX Pro 2 combo recently myself:

V-shapes arent usually muddy, the "V" form aims to precisely separate bass from the rest of the sound so it sounds cleaner.
All that said, i get your point, it actually Is quite clean, for being a $15 or so level IEM, Though i reckon the Conch might sound a bit cleaner because of the extra treble and less boosted bass.
EDX Pro 2 is kinda bassy because it has some bass but it sounds quite balanced for me an other people, is just the right amount of extra bass to make it funny.
In overall sound quality Conch i think is a bit better but the EDX Pro 2 combo is easier to like in terms of tuning.
Crazy what $10 or less gets you this day, coming from testing the KZ EDX Pro 2 which was like $15 or so too, KZ really is ensuring people with extremely reduced budgets still have an option which, as a former budget buyer, i really appreciate.
Thanks for the detailed yet concise Review man, please keep up the good work 🤙
Yep, EDX Pro 2 With a good cable and tips combo would have full stop ended my search a few years back, i am a bit too deep on the hobby now but man, newcomers have it so much easier nowadays XD.

Budget gaming pick, but poor cables and polarizing bass.
