x HBB

Qkz x hbb 10mm titanium drivers. They were my second from kz zs10 pro. Being able to focus when I worked overnights waxing floors, turning my brain off was the only way I found I could do insane runs and turn the results to liquid glass. Lost one side, and am replacing them foto experience fond memories of a simpler time.

EQed QKZ x HBB. I should have written in the first post that I use EQ, sorry I forgot about this important detail. As for the EQ I use *Hot Monster Output* in MSEB settings in Hiby R4 player.

KZ planars was a roller coaster terms of release the PR1 and PR1 Pro was definitely well received, though its sound signature is more leaning towards brighter sound signature. They we're well received because finally "budget" planar IEMs. PR2 x HBB was slightly better, but maybe because of its bass tuning some don't like it. (especially some has a vendetta against HBB), it was definitely warmer. PR3 was a disaster, trebles were piercing hard, went back to bright sounds. PRX fixed all of these issues, and it sounded warmer than previous KZ Planars while still retaining the technicalities of the older KZ's planar sets. It was like good > better(ish), depends > bad > better(ish)

Your Sony were 10Ohm, Zeros are 16Ohm so there should be a difference with a same source. Zeros are known to be uncomfortable based on your ear canals size. Don't hesitate to return them. For the price get a cheap dac (like 8 dollars) from AliExpress and get iems with standard bore size. There are good entry-level bass oriented iems like the Qkz x HBB Hades or 7Hz Legato. or even KZ castor bass pro

Under 100 the TinHifi Dudu and the Artti T10 og. The T10 pro nah, is shouty and unnatural, with eq is fixable but nah, it's not an upgrade to the T10 og A honorable mention to the PRX, PR2 and Sgor Luna, especially the KZ x HBB PR2 is the best price/performance planar iem under 50 usd IMHO. The Aether is my favorite, but yeah, 170 usd msrp and an underwhelming package.

It really depends on each people ears and taste in music. Basshead or normal people usually like v shaped iem, even if it's cheap one like qkz hbb they gonna pick it over 64audio u12t for example

Agreed, they are complete shite. Will never buy a HBB collab again

Funny you should say that, because I’ve found them to be the most tip sensitive IEMs I’ve had. With the stock tips there was NO bass and the rest of the range sounded harsh and shrieky. With the next set of tips (Tri Clarion, I think? I can’t remember now) I could hear the bass but it just sounded so soft and poofy, like cotton balls being thrown at my ears. Finally, with the 3rd and 4th set of tips I’ve tried there was quite a turnaround and I’m seeing why people like these. I’m really enjoying them now. With all my other IEMs, tips have just made tiny differences in the sound and I’ve changed them around more to find the best comfort than anything else. But these - oh, man, was there a difference!

Will you plug them directly to Dualsense? Be aware there will most likely be loud hiss everytime the sound plays. Mostly noticeable when navigating through dashboard for example but not noticeable while playing a game actually I have qkz hbb and tangzu waner and both do the same. Only on dualsense.

Might as well get the teas as you will have the itch to see what’s better… speaking from experience as I’ve gone from Qkz hbb to supermix4 to…. Probably tea pros or siigaat crescents
