Problem isnt the deep fit, is the pain you will get after a while on your ears and also its weight. Make sure to test for more than 2mins

At that price though, even if you decide it isnāt for you, you shouldnāt lose money on resale.

Both my bank ( Wells ) and Amex really didnāt want to deal with KeepHiFiās credit card processor, so I went on Amazon to order them instead.
I was too curious when I saw the Dark Magician tuning as well.

Annoying lol. $69 minus 5% would have been $66 so I lost about $9 still.

Yes, the pricing policy for the sales startup was a bit strange by keephifi and AliExpress seller if I am to be honest.
But after buying them for 66 bucks and Zeros for 50 I cannot complain 
this hobby is all about waiting for a new set (cable, tips, dongle whatever!) to arrive.
I used the PayPal option and it was easy as pie, if that wouldāve been available to you
Itās on Amazon?
So glad they told me

Ah sad news for me. Iām not immediately captivated by Z1R. I guess Iām midbass/low-mids kinda guy. Bass is not overwhelming for my tastes. The first thing I notice is how distant the vocals are.
Sometimes thereās sibilance or cymbals sound harsh. But fit is quite ok, weight isnāt bad. 30 mins and still comfortable.
Any tracks that I should try thatāll show Z1Rās strength?

The mids are the weak link, especially vocals. Now the bass I find out of this world. The slam and texture are top notch. But if you cannot connect with its bass and treble, itās a lost cause.

Yeah I think finally understand bass texture. Radioactive (Imagine Dragons) is a treat. Guitars sound great. Listening to Stevie Ray Vaughnšµ
I can get why this set is such a gem. But it definitely isnāt the final stop for me. I think I can grab this and sth like Yume for the meantime.
UM bone conduction IEMs are a whole different beast. Iām waiting for an updateš
2: trying Elysian Annihilator as a fellow countryman. Top-tier technicalities, more balanced than Z1R but bass is not as epic. Could be oneās endgame for EDM. Best replay so far for Bury the Light. I just love how synths sound with these.

I would use PayPal, but anytime I move it seems to screw them up for about 6 months, and I am in that window right now. I can fix it, but that call takes time, and it isnāt worth the small amount of money ( $10 ) that I would save.

Everyone ends up on Amazon, and Ali Express.

I totally agree with your take, it served as the gateway to better headphones for a ton of people. I feel the same way about Skullcandy, since they got people to spend more, it just raised their expectations. I have a few friends that I managed to get to on better gear after they had one of those two brands of headphones. Bad headphones, but great for the audio gear business in general.
