CVJ Aria Qimeng Review - Nano Crystal DD with 3 x Tuning Nozzles
I'm happy with the Dunu Alpha 3 - so good I got a 2nd pair - not sure these are worth 4x the price
Other IEMs come and go, but my Origin is a keeper. Natural, detailed, balanced and open sounding, good look, good fit, all in all, very well done, Tanchjim.
👍
Nice video! I'm dailying the Zero 2 as well, which IEM would you recommend for an upgrade that's similar to the Zero 2?
Better than the og Oxygen?
Yes as per other reviews.
This became my endgame. Had it for almost a year at this point. Very technical while not losing the natural timbre personally for a single DD
DMT driver approved by Joe Rogan
I don't watch him lol
Nice review, thanks! I've always wanted these...just a little pricey for me as well.
Thanks for watching and I agree.
I like that graphmaybe little les uppermids low and treble is better
yep
vs zsx pro ?
Never tried it.
just ordered them + qkz q1 max wire and bunch of eartips. waiting for delivery and hope ill like it.
I do hope you like it 👍
For some reason it only reads 48k hz at best when I plugged in a stereo aux. The 384k hz option only shows up when I plug in a stereo and mic aux combo. Can anyone give me a solution other than changing the cable?
I don't have an answer.
Could you suggest if I should go for the IgniteX Beast or the Kefine Klean if I'm going for a gaming+detailed music experience covering both aspects?
I would say Klean is more of my pick for music and probably the IgniteX for gaming. No best of both worlds in my opinion.
@VortexReviews1 I see Thanks
@@Killua_Jinxer_22 ok
Between this and the snowsky Nano which would you choose and why?
Not tried that one.
Its quite expensive, cant imagine how many times better it'd be compared to my cheap monk buds haha
It is indeed quite expensive.
I still prefer earbuds for movies..
👍
Thank you for your review. Do you think Moondrop Dawn Pro with 4.4mm will work good with them?
I don't see any issues with that. Thanks btw.
Totally overpriced, the packaging size is unnecessary, the tools are cheap plastic and they may be titanium, but there isn’t more than a tenners worth of it because they are so small!
I agree they are too expensive.
It's like they think you can make your product "premium" by stuffing it in a big box with nice case, when other contents remind that it all costs them like a few bucks? They could've make and include a swappable 3.5/4.4 plug like Fiio does, or for that price even put another cable with different plug.
@ Swappable connectors would have been nice.
type c??
The one I have are 3.5mm. No type-c variant as far as I know.
Iems are great but sometime i missed the sound that come from earbud.. warm and casual ❤..
Indeed. Good to have both.
Could have just used a junk email to sign up for the app.
True.
Hello; I really need help with the switches; I just bought the KZ S10 Pro 2; I'm hoping to use these earbuds for neutral and balanced sound; I'm not looking to enhance any frequiences but I need to edit audio files, so I need hear audio "as it really is!" Can you provide suggestions on the switch settings please?
You can try what I said in the video and from the graph and just go from there. I would experiment with the switches yourself and see what you prefer.
What is the perfect dongle dac for this? Im using samsung s22plus. 50 to 100usd? Perfect for power and synergy. Thanks
Plenty of good ones but do you want sync volume or independent volume control?
I also have v3 and insterested in pebble x
Pebble X is technically better but 3 x times is not worth it in my opinion.
Wasn't the ZA series all BA configuration?
Possibly. I lose track as they release so many IEM's.
AS is the all ba modles.
@ 👍
@@Hijynx87 yeah right, there's just so many serieses I lost track.
I bought these and am astonished by your comments on the sound; particularly that you are happy with the tuning. The set I got have massively boosted bass, particularly in the 90-150 Hz region. UA-cam reviewers who have measured them show a full 10 dB boost in that region...10 dB (twice as loud) over the Harman Target which already has bass boost. They sound to me most like the original Monster Beats headphones...it is overpowering. I owned the Takstar and they sound nothing alike. Nor do they sound like the Fiio JT-1, which has fun tuning but not a boost like these. I am confused by this. About 1/2 the reviews mention or graph this massive bass boost. And 1/2, like yours, describe just a slightly fun tuning. On UA-cam check out GREQ Reviews at 4 minutes to see one of the graphs. How do you explain this? Are 1/2 the reviewers crazy or shills, or is there another issue?
I am not a shill as I don't benefit from it as I am impartial as they come. From using this I am still happy with my review.
@@VortexReviews1 I do not think you are a shill. You are obviously experienced listener with a passion for audio. That is the source of my astonishment. I cannot explain how someone with your expertise did not mention a massive 10 dB boost in the Division's mid base frequency response in their review, but rather said they were fine with the tuning. Multiple reviewers confirmed this measurement, and that amount of bass boost would be obvious to anyone who compared their sound to any other headphones. Are you really happy with that? Do you have some curiosity as to how this could be? Perhaps there was a manufacturing flaw in some of the Divisions. Or, perhaps our hearing is more prone to bias and we are less impartial then we believe.
@@ggroch I have no idea about the QC but as they are a cheaper pair of headphones there could be some differences with the tunings. I am kind of a bass head and everyone has different opinions of the sound. Have you ordered these or own them?
I kinda like kz cable it's lightweight. And not easy tangled.
Indeed.
Should I get these over the kz as10 ?
Been years since I tried the original As10. It depends if you like this tuning?
Should I buy this or the truthear x crinacle zero: red?
I have never tried the Red.
Could you try a 50omhs adapter in the za12
I don't have one fella.
I ordered a 30 ohm adapter if you have a powerful source, then go for the 50 ohm. If not, limit it to 25-30 ohm for best results
@@Harry-sy7sb Sounds good.
👍
Cheers for watching.
The review describes the CCA Hydro exactly🤔
The Hydros are fucking 🔥
I have never tried those.
Was waiting for a combination like this from kz for a while lets see if they delivered
Hope you like a bright sounding IEM.
@ hahaha figured this ones not for me with the nozzle ba and bright tuning. Next time kz.. next time.
@ 👍
Most of us have a dongle, they could have skipped it and kept the price even lower.
True.
Hi fellow music listeners! pls advise - so I'm currently enjoying KZ ZS 10 Pro 2, and occasionally Castor Pro Bass version. Would the PRX be an upgrade to the ZS in any way or is it worth buying in this case? Or pls advise some thing that would be a noticeable upgrade to ZS 10 Pro 2 in the range of up to $80. Thanks in advance!
Planar is different experience and all that sound is coming from one driver.
@@VortexReviews1 Thanks man, also thanks for all the great videos!
@ Thanks for the kind words.
Great review! I'm planning to buy a new speaker, I checked most of these pebble series speakers and I was about to buy a V3 model, then I saw pebble pro and pebble x Pebble pro is not really an option since it's not available here at all, but I can get V3 for $40 or I can really push myself to get pebble X for about $68 (this $28 difference is really more than what it seems in my country) So may I ask you which one do you suggest?
The X is the superior sounding ones but it depends if you want to spend that extra over the V3?
Does the touch pad work on it?
Yes.
They look like tanchjim darling, even the box looks similarly shaped
I don't think I tried that one.
Has KZ updated the 12mm DD since the ZNA came out or used it in any recent products ?
They have made loads of DD's since then but I don't try that many KZ releases these days.
Wow! A detailed review, I just wanted to ask that for gaming, which one is better? Canta or Truthear x Crinacle - ZERO:RED?
Thanks very much! I have not tried the Zero Red unfortunately.
Yes, you know it's good design when it takes you some time to understand what it is and where it begins or ends Like a car spare part
Waiting for their flagship to come out, the Sugma Ligma.
lol
Twistura Sigma 💀
Look like old classic kz peak.
Needs some dampening indeed.
Seems a bit scammy then, including an impedance adapter with the obvious assumption people will make by doing that. Thanks for informing us!
Not necessarily. If you have a output with hiss it should help reduce that or eliminate it. I have clean sources so it's not a problem for me personally.
for sensitive iems and noisy sources, impedance adapters work to reduce the noise floor. due to this other purpose of impedance adapters, it is only a scam, if they claim that by using the adapter, you get a different tuning, but i don't think they did.
@ yep
FIRST!
👍
Hi praise stay well
Hi James and indeed. Stay well fella.
Anyone knows if these nozzles would be ok for Tangzu Tang Sancai widebore tips? These are my fav but are actually too wide for some nozzles
GreaT review - I concur.
Thanks for watching.
Should I prefer this over anker space one?
Never tried that one but I think someone here has.
