Unfortunately my set‘s left earbud seems to be broken 
tried different cables and confirmed that it’s really the left earpiece that has issues.
Initial impression from the right working earbud:
- vocal a bit recessed compared to QKZ HBB? Dunno if this is just because my left earbud is not working.
- QKZ HBB bass is deeper
- Khan has lighter note weight than HBB. Both are warm but HBB is warmer
- slightly reminds me of the Aria but warmer, probably because of the Harman tuning? But definitely like this more than Aria
- good upper mids
- fits like a glove, reminds me of Tea2’s insertion so I think it has a good isolation
Still contemplating if I’ll return my set for repair as delivery costs 50% of the original price 
+ the wait. Although I feel like I might love the set so I’m torn

Don’t recommend the Questyle M15. Makes IEMs sound cramped.
I’ve heard such a swing when it comes to the M15. Some people have said it has amazing resolving capabilities but then some have said it has a closed in stage. So weird… usually sources aren’t as polarizing as that one is.

That’s golden of you HBB , I was reading on the Thieaudio page About the poor service and hoops you have to just go through from Linsoul to prove thier “Tested” products are truly defective. Videos , Song list ect… I get the point of not just replacing everything but someone who is buying a TOTL knows what they are doing.

It’s like they’ve eschewed stage for detail retrieval with that thing. It is amazing for active speakers where stage is already naturally open.
Ah - that makes sense - thank you for the insight, brother

Some good news guys, I gave my left earbud a chance this morning. I brought it back to its original cable and I started hearing music! 
I let it sit for an hour and did some burn in, I tried to rotate it back to my other cables KL, HBB and EST (needed to replug one more time to work) cable and the left earbud’s sound is there! I’m not sure what happened here, maybe the earbud’s needed more pin friction?
Update impression:
- vocals are forward but a little pushed back compared to hbb.
- vocal quality is smooth
- bass quality is nice! HBB has a little more weight compared to Khan and Khan’s seems to be a bit cleaner
- upper mids is really nice, clean and detailed, still slightly reminds me of aria a bit but is not airy and Khan has more note weight and better treble extension
- soundstage is intimate but a little wider than HBB
I’m starting to prefer Khan than my HBB cause of the smoother vocals but I still like my HBB for the bass.
Pardon the trouble @hawaiibadboy my set started working and might just need some friction it seems
