does bluetooth really destroy quality or is it better than a cheap jack output ?
Which bt receiver are you using? @Windatica
depends on the BT
I'm about to get the xiaomi one
the trn one
the xiaomi one is good
its mmcx, not 3.5mm
at least it's what the VE clan facebook shills alot
Okay thanks, I'll go with xiaomi after all. I found my Sony iems so not falling for chink ones just yet
actually yeah
ety-kids or ety-mk2 or one of the other cheap etys will prbo do a far better job than cheap anc
it's surprising chinks don't produce original electronic music instruments
they assembled them most likely
Okay, ordered the xiaomi bt. Hope it's good.
are beat headphones actually better than some 10€ earphones ?
yes
easily
you see KZ and chi-fi created a hype for actual garbage products
looks like there's a few
looks pretty cool imo
oh nice
wait ¥588.00 is 5 euros ?
@Windatica its ok someone on head-fi woke up
```I had said a while ago I wanted to skip the the ZS10 - and then caved in again. When the ZS10 were announced, Coil speculated they would be at around $30 and I put them at $80. As a trend, KZ earphones have become more expensive with every driver added. Gone are the $5 days...at least of new models. Now we are actually heading towards the $80 region.
And that's how it always appears to go:
1. KZ, often through the phonograph, announce a new model.
2. There is lots of talk and speculation on discussion lists without any knowledge about them.
3. This generates a hype.
4. Sellers run a pre-sale at really good prices.
5. People like me get sucked in.
6. IEM is officially released at a substantially higher price than pre-sale.
7. Early adopters rave about the new iem or they don't...both typically happens.
8. The hype dies down.
9. Some anniversary sale gives the cost conscious a second chance to get a good price.
10. The next model is announced...hype, speculation etc. set in once again.
11. "Old" model price drops by 30% permanently, three months after its release.
12. Presale and sale of the latest model, "old" model added to the drawer with the other 15 KZ hybrids.
13. etc. etc.

you don't even have to be woke, just buy a brand name cheap iem and realize how bad kz is
kz have some amazing hype machine lmao
for a brand that just creates crap it's amazing they're still so popular
i mean, a $8 stagediver SOUNDS interesting, even if its bad
a $16 andro sounds interesting even if it bad
im gonna buy the new kz though
omg
8ba!!!
i've just gotta try them
haha
wtf I thought kz was supposed to be good
no
