    I assume headphones aren’t your thing, but I got the Sineaptic SE-1 for $100 (normally $199) and it’s something I have not regretted at all. It’s an amazing open back pair.

    Question: What iem would you recommend for someone coming from over-ear headphone world and likes the sound of beyer-dynamics. 150-200€ range.

      When you said Beyer i tought of the Fd5. It actually has a tesla driver like those headphones. It’s just out of range for you. I guess the z12 is good if you don’t mind trebel and like detail.

      Exactly. I recommend trying a lot of cheaper iems first so you can experience what your style is. Right now the zvx and the c12 are the ones i could exclude. They have a similar tuning i just don’t fancy.

      It’s good just not my style. I would recommend it for movies. It’s an exciting sound. For 15$ more the cadenza is just a better choice for music.

    One thing i would like to say. The Chimera cable is the worst of all my cables. It’s microphonic, the earhooks are too rigid, the connectror comes apart while walking and the 2.5 jack just snapped in half in my pocket.

      The build and shape feels grate. Tha cable is just bad. Exciting sound. Feels a bit closed in. I would recommend it for movies and videos. For music the cadenza is just so much better and not much more expensive.

    I’m trying to prepare for the 11/11 sale so far I’m juggling between the truthear nova and the s12pro which I believe is extremely similar if not the exact same as the z12

    I’ve seen reviews saying the s12pro/z12 has the kind of cold robotic vibe to it that some planar buds have and that it has some sibilance. Would you agree with that statement? What do you think of your z12s?

    I am fairly sensitive to really intense treble and sibilance so I would hate to spend the extra bit of cash for an experience I would enjoy less lol
