    I wasnt all that impressed but i tip rolled and then i turned them counter clockwise in my ear and wow then it came alive. It goes to show that its about tips and angle in the ear.

    I have the age related high frequency hearig loss i believe so like the tilt towards the high mids amd highs. I know you are around the same age so i believe i hear the same as you.

    In hi fi scene companies have huge challenges pairing planers and tweeters with woofers, primarily due to the different speed the sound they produce to reach the human ears. Either they make the tweeters very small with very fast woofers or they simply go really big, alone, to create more bass by themselves. I once had a bookshelf (well it’s larger but still needed a floor stand) speaker with ribbon tweeter paired with high quality SEAS cone. Despite that it still wasn’t very good at higher volume, a bit similar to your experience with the Symphony. That probably means either the crossover need more work or the small DD is still not fast enough. Of course the quality of the DD makes a huge difference too.
    Perhaps BAs might help since they are quite fast. Oops, queue for KZ’s next project?
    On KZ, many forget that it is because of KZ they, including myself, have the opportunity to learn about how to identify various sound signatures, cheaply. In other words, we are now able to find out what type of sound best suit our preferences in a very affordable way. For the longest time I was stuck with UE, Shures and the likes and wasn’t happy but didn’t know why.

    My set finally arrived and I’ve been listening to it for a while. While most of the reviews I’ve seen so far are critical, here’s my take (no I’m not a professional audiophile lol)
    -it sounds amazing. Like really really good. The clarity is on point and the bass is near-subwoofer quality. I haven’t had any problem with the “mids dip” that the graph shows. Vocals are excellent and clear.
    -the fit is very good. I use the regular silicone tips and with this set they have a very good seal. I almost always dislike foam tips anyway.
    -they’re comfortable long wearing sessions. Just watched a movie with them!
    -yes you might need to turn the volume up a bit more with these than with others sets but it’s not like you can’t listen to these on your phone. I’m using these with the KZ AZ20 Bluetooth adaptors and they sound excellent and the adaptors can drive them just fine.
    -while I’ve not heard the other newer high-end KZ sets, this one outperforms any of my other KZ sets even my beloved ZS6.
    -They look amazing and feel very high quality.
    -conclusion: highly recommend!

      I am glad you like it
      I agree with you if my approach is one of a non critical listen ( normal usage) it is very very good as you say.
      My opinions are based on a more critical experience..... but if I am totally honest I am really really happy with the Symphony

      @@akros9333 yea I tend to dislike the “reference” sets that have a flat tuning. Hence why while the ZS10 has a more balanced sound, I still preferred the ZS6 with its airy treble or the EDX with its powerful bass. The Symphony so far seems the best of both worlds and j haven’t even burned them in really.

    Current collection: IE 600, Studio 4, Aful P8, Kiwi Ears Melody. What should my next one be in your opinion? Not sure whether to look for diversity in terms of driver, sound signature, etc..

    My first and only kz set is pr1 pro and I love it! I enjoy it more than s12 pro

      oh, PR1 Pro is genuinely good set.
      love mine too, proper planar but relatively easier to drive than its siblings

      ​​@@raineheartily4580 I bought the Pr1 Pro, and they died within 15 minutes, I bought PR2s, which are very good, but very needy.. Need lots of power, good cable, need eartinps just so, etc. I always wonder if I am missing out on something, or if, having PR2s, I don't need the Pr1 Pro..

    I would love to find a pair that fit like my old pair of Klipsch S4 earbuds, but better sounding. I've never had a pair of earbuds that fit so well since.

  • @wahid-lg1kk
    @wahid-lg1kk 10 місяців тому +1

    Kz had a 12mm driver, the high end at volume was horrendous, but the bass was more then good.. If they recycled that, cut it off at around 400hz, left the rest for the planar, toss in a zobel network, that would be phenomenal, assuming some sort of mature tuning, and would be very cheap.. If I could buy the parts I would make it, with a teak burl casing, (have access to 5 axis c&c machine).

    Is Symphony better than Rhapsody?

    • @akros9333
      @akros9333  10 місяців тому +1

      I actually mention that in the review....but to cut a long story short they are a good complement to eachother .... Rhapsody better bass, Symphony better upper mids and treble
