"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"Back to back in my opinion they blow the airpods pro 2 out of the water in clarity, separation, and punch."

"You can remove the cable if it’s damaged and replace it. ... Ive been through 5+ cables for it."
"The swappable cables are also a very nice feature."
"Hope I still have mine, I should've kept it. ... Turns out I still have my old MX518 mouse. ... You can replace the cord?? ... Was it easy to replace the cord and at low cost?"

"Comfort is superb for me, no problem at all running them all day everyday when I WFH with constant meetings or music going on for 8+ hours."
"Distances 20KM+, I think the Prodigio Pro's good balance of comfort and grip just wins here."
"I did run a 100km race in the full size up without touching the shoe once in the whole race."

"I’ve tested around 40 'neutral' IEMs on my channel, which I originally started for mixing, mastering, voiceover work, and audition evaluation. ... Based on that, I’d never trust something like a Kiwi KE4 or Truthear Nova over genuinely accurate sets like the Studio4, Hexa, or Galileo."
"The Studio 4, which was mentioned in passing, is a set I’ve personally used for light mixing work."
"I’m using these for monitors : KZ ZSN Pro X iem, HIFI in ear Headphones, High Fidelity in ear Monitor with Hybrid Dual Drivers ... But my primary need is my own vocal and my bass. I do also feed in a mix from the rest of the band. But it’s pretty low in the mix."

"way too bright. ... The source doesn't matter, being it a desk amp or a usb dongle"
"Out of the box they sound like shit ... when EQ'd they sound ok"
"Melobuds Pro straight out of the box sound like ass."

"the current sub is beyond terrible, at least to my ears. ... my 80W 10" Vizio subwoofer that is miles better than the Samsung ... The biggest complaint about the Samsung soundbars was always the lack of bass. ... I returned the B and the D due to the poor subwoofer performance. ... The weak sub was always the main problem with these bars."
"the subwoofer disconnects sometimes every 15 seconds ... now its been ok after reconnecting it for the 20th time"
"Will they fix the subwoofer dropage issues? ... Ended up returning it due to the neverending link problems."

"Well, I do agree with the trash cable part of the comment in reference to QKZ x HBB. I disliked that cable more than any other stock cable I ’ve come across and couldn’t replace it fast enough."
"Stock qkz hbb tips kinda trash like on most budget iems."
"The KZ's braded cord sucks royal ass and I had to glue my tip connectors back on after they disassembled. ... If you're gigging the SE215's are substantially better made and they're a better product even if they don't have all the fancy features."

"nova's biggest downside. ... nova sometimes provides a short (and could be deadly) peak when vocal pronunciation such as 'T', 'S', etc. is initiated. ... This is definitely a distraction on certain tracks, including vocals, although it is not usually noticeable. ... It may not be suitable for those who want a comfortable listening. ... Form definitely suppresses bad treble, but the sound gets messy."
"way too bright. ... The source doesn't matter, being it a desk amp or a usb dongle"
"I hated how sibilant and harsh the treble was to my ears."

"the separation is a huge difference compared to the edx pro x that I had before, 50% more compared to the zs10 pro x."
"garbage on all aspects from the fit, to sound isolation, to the sound reproduction"
I find mines very comfortable. I could wear them for +2 hours without much discomfort compared to other iems I got ([ZSN-PRO](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002438769452.html) & [KZ ZEX Pro](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003589418259.html)) They're also a bit smaller so that might be why.
r/bapcsalescanada • [IEM] Moondrop Chu 2 In Ear Monitor ($25.59) [Amazon] ->My previous IEMs were KZ ZSN PRO, and the difference between them is like night and day.
r/iems • Moondrop Dusk ->This game has amazing mixing and IEMs or studio monitors are the way to play it. I game on my Sony MDR and I’ve noticed that my friends who use gaming headset can’t hear shit because the bass boosts hides a bunch of sound ques. If cost is an issue I recomend KZ ZSN pros or really anything by KZ they’re top tier cheap IEMs. I do recommend find one with a longer wire with mic built in.
r/TheFinalsAcademy • If your not gaming with IEM's your handicapping yourself ->I have these but I found them a bit harsh in the top end and bass was lacking a bit.
r/Beatmatch • Why IEMs rather than just keeping a good pair of headphones on? ->I use the KZ ZSN PRO X along with the KZ M2 cable. its really good.
r/Dhaka • Best IEM in 1.5k BDT ->KZ ZSN Pro and more or less in parallel Samsung AKG if those count... And no not using anymore. The Samsungs are broken like the third time I think and the KZ are not my cup of tea but showed me, that there is more than just always using cheap *ss earbuds/in-ears for around 10 bucks. So I went on, on my journey and currently resting on my (amazing) Hype4. Thought they were my Endgame... But who knows...
r/iems • What was your first IEM, and do you still use it? ->I’m sorry but I have the ZSN Pro X (dual drivers) , the ZSN 10 pros (5 drivers), and the ZSN 12 pros (6 drivers). The dual driver models are great for general use or for someone who is a keys player or a vocalist maybe even a guitar player. They just don’t give me enough low end and more importantly clarity of the lows and low mids. I always use my 12s or 10s. They are not that much more expensive and the jump in quality is impressive.
r/Bass • In ear monitors? ->I second these as a long time professional live/broadcast sound engineer and life long percussionist. My Shure SE425s split after a decade of sweating with them in. Someone along the way recommended the KZ ZSN Pros as a cheap but great throw away pair of IEMs. Ive had them for years now and they just keep sounding better and better as they break in. Its takes a little time for the high end to mellow out but I’ve never felt the need to have my SE425s repaired because these sound plenty decent enough. You absolutely have to get the foam isolation tips though if you wanna use them while playing drums.
r/drums • In-Ear Monitors: What do you recommend as a first-time user? ->+1 for these. Better sounding and more reliable than my low end Shure SE215. Have played ~50 gigs this year on them and they’ve been great
r/Bass • In ear monitors? ->I bought kz zan pro x 1 year back ,the sound quality was good but the cable got defective in a span of 6 months lol
r/IndiaTech • What are your views on IEMs? Do you think they are better for daily music consumption than regular earbuds or wired earphones? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
