    So now i have the PR2 at Home and they Sound great for me. In the Highend they are a bit smoother and less crisp then the PR1 Pro so they are for most Songs less fatiguing for long Time Sessions!!!!!!! Both are great In Ears in my Opinion.

    Thanks for explaining. My first IEM is the KZ ZS10 PRO x. The reason I bought it was not because I know about bass or midrange but because it has 5 drivers on each side, it was affordable, very available here where I'm from and that KZ is highly recommended by many. I got just this last week of June this year and I did not know that I need a USB C to 3.5mm that have a DAC because I thought that all USB C to 3.5mm are all the same. The sound was really different compared to the wireless earbuds and I noticed that when I am listening to videos in my laptop or phone while using the ZS10 pro X that I do not need to dial the volume up to clearly understand what they are saying in the videos. My wireless are not the high quality once but the mid ranged once like the Galaxy Buds FE and the Soundcore P40i. I might be buying the ZS10 pro 2 or the KZ you said that is good for vocals since I will be using this to watch youtube videos like yours. Thanks again I was researching what KZ to buy and what are the difference and have not seen any until your video pop up in my recommended videos.

    • @tylerrayhughes
      @tylerrayhughes  Před měsícem

      Thanks for taking the time to share! I will say, I Like the ZAS for vocals because it helps my vocal to stand out above other instruments due to the mid range. I don't think i would prefer them for listening to talking videos on CZcams. For that i may prefer something more neutral and less "excited". Good luck!

    Jeah... just buy one of the 5 latest KZ models if you are in to natural Sounding IEMs, with engaging treble and controlled bass, before those models... They sound almost the same, Bloated Bass and metallic sound, I hope this comment helps
    The in ears I talk about are the PR1 Pro, ZVX, D-Fi, LingLong, PR2
    the models that aren't In this list are mediocre at best, just in comparison ofc, I have tried around 23 KZ models and they crushed their own products with the models I mention, they are just 10 steps up, getting on territory of $80 all the way up to $200 for less than $60

    Kz is a good starting point, but I think there are better options out there. I wish they didn’t angle the 2 pins wrong on the zvx. They made it so it pulls out of your ear, rather than angle into it lol. Ooops! D-fi is excellent, og pr2 is excellent bang for buck, zvx is great tonality and timbre.

      "Audiophile" does not mean anything, except "this will have to be considered as justifying all the iems, headphones, cables, dacs, dongles, amps that I buy/change every month"; other version "nothing below 500K". 🙂

      @beepover is the kind of audiophile who thinks that only things that most people can't afford can be good. Kind of like the "professional" photographers you'll find online who think only a $4000 DSLR can take good photos.
