KZ DQ6S REVIEW: A Rocking Good Time.
KZ DQ6S Review.
A rocking good time! The KZ DQ6S is excellent for rock, pop rock and heavy metal.
Disclaimer: I received the KZ DQ6S from KZ Acoustics as a review sample for an honest opinion. I receive no monetary compensation for this video or the links below.
The KZ DQ6S checks all the boxes for my personal use case scenarios and sound preference. Keeping the review short and concise, it does almost everything right within the budget.
Before we begin, here's my listening preferences and use case scenario:
1. I like Harman type tuning with a slightly brighter edge
2. Isolation and fit has to be decent enough to drown out the subway train noise
3. Ample bass to overcome the low frequency droning sound of the subway train
4. I don't mind a narrower soundstage and not having upper trebles presence like airy, hyper shimmery trebles
5. Imaging is still critical in a narrower soundstage. Typically an in-studio performance, though everything is tighter together, you still can distinct each placement of instruments.
Audio chain for my tests:
1. Vivo X60 Pro, Jcally JM20, DQ6S
2. Vivo X60 Pro, Jcally JM20, Fosi Audio N2 amp, DQ6S
3. Vivo X60 Pro, stock Vivo dongle DAC (which is very good, apparently it uses the CS43131, same DAC as the JM20), DQ6S
Albums used:
The Dave Brubeck's Quartet at Carnegie Hall, Parcels Live Vol. 1, Strunz and Farah: Fantaseo, Bruno Mars: An Evening With Silk Sonic, Majid Jordan: Wildest Dreams, Deadmau5: 4x4=12, Diana Krall: Quiet Nights, Daft Punk: Random Access Memories, Metallica Master of Puppets(remastered), Metallica Garage Inc., Megadeth Rust In Peace(expanded edition), Amber Rubarth Sessions from the 17th Ward.
I hope this video review will be useful for you. Keep in touch at my Instagram,

Hey guys, here's a review of the Phylida DE-11 500m aka Deepsea Sea Dweller homage. I bought it during the 11.11 sale for USD$140. It's a FANTASTIC watch for the price! It can easily be more than USD$300-400 if branded differently by a proper microbrand. I love the high quality finish overall and the massively bright lume is a huge bonus.

Hi everyone, here's my review of the Addiesdive MY-H5 aka Steeldive SD1975. I chose the MY-H5 because I preferred what was printed on the dial and also the diver strap that came with it.

    Have a black dial and bezel SD1979 on tropic band as per 1521 COSC. Wears comfortably. NH35 movement is accurate and reliable. Not many wear Squale so doesn't look as obvious as black dial black bezel SD1953 is for Rolex. Getting a Marine Nationale strap next to have orange pinstripe match min hand. Found the Engineer strap was bulky. Squale also fit mesh steel strap as well as tropic rubber strap that is less bulky as suits it. Not a bulky dive watch.

    I have this watch, when he does the closeup spinning rhe bezel put it in slow motion speed and will see rhere is a gap between bezel number ring and the edges. At first glance is not noticeable, but once light hits on it from a certain angle ir will show. Dirt tends to accumulate. I noticed it on mine one day while charging the lume and saw the gap in the bezel. One can almost see the white portion side of the black top bezel and the gap. I bought it on sale, the seller sent me a sample with a no logo crown, $100 for the watch shipped.

    Nice video. I like what you said about using spotify in high quality vs tidal, it makes sense. I also use my CRA's along with spotify in high quality directly from the 3.5 mm port of my phone (no external dac) and these are VERY fun to listen to but maybe a bit fatiguing after a while (maybe its just me) I was wondering about getting a koss kph30i but in my country are almost impossible to get (argentina). How would the sound of the koss compare to this CRAs?

  • @rustyshakelford1466

    Comparisons with the Tanya aren't unwarranted, looking at the graphs myself. I would say the manufacturer provided measurement isn't that accurate though. In reality both the Tanya and Vesper have large bass boosts. The Tanya has more of a "hill" bass lift, more focused on mid-bass and rolling off in the sub-bass; Vesper doesn't roll off in the sub-bass, though like the Tanya it gets into the mid-bass and adds weight. The upper mids on Vesper are pushed to a lower level than most IEMs, and like the Tanya rolls off in the highs. So it's easy to listen to like the Tanya, moreso actually since Tanya has more upper mids; but both have a 3k peak, so they are similar like that, Tanya is just higher. I think people would find the Vesper kind of dark sounding, where the Tanya really isn't outside the highs. Tanya needs some EQ though, to control the bass and bring upper mids into a more ordinary level, Vesper you could leave it stock. Good for people looking for very warm, slightly dark tuning.

    The Squale has that giant logo on the case that makes it look like an Invicta so in my mind this one actually looks better than the original. The only thing stopping me from getting a SteelDive is the fact that every single review seems to have some kind of QC issues. Maybe I'm crazy, but for 150 USD I'd want my bezel to be aligned. For the same price I can buy a mobile phone where the parts tolerances are measured in nanometers.

    • @stefpix
      @stefpix Před rokem

      I think Squale does not have the logo on the case anymore, at least in production in recent years. I ordered this, but the bright white Steeldive logo is a bit offputting, maybe in real life is not too bad.
