I do have an advice on this. I discovered it way back then when I used to play drums. Practice in front of a mirror atleast 15 minutes a day.

Iā€™m glad to see youā€™ve started your own thread, man. I enjoy your videos and interviews, and Iā€™m excited to see what youā€™ll post here. By the way, what are your thoughts on the A70 Pro?

Thanks man, yeah I thought this was needed. The A70 Pro is fantastic. It is very powerful, clean, and transparent. I donā€™t find it to be clinical or dry at all. Need a good DAC to pair it with. Right now using SONCOZ LAQXD1 from my friend.

Hello good people,

I just posted my review for the latest Binary Dynaquattro. Imo the Dyna is priced very attractively. It offers insanely good sound for the asking price of 259$, here are the pros and cons.

Pros:-

Fun and Exciting Sound Signature

Warm Neutral Tuning

Good Bass response, good speed and rumble

Accurate Midrange, well-textured vocals and natural timbre across vocals and instruments

Treble is nicely extended, has good definition, no sibilance or harshness at all

Cons:-

Soundstage is a little intimate

Requires good amount of amplification to sound its best

I personally want more mid-bass(subjective preference).

Hereā€™s my video link:-

Hello Good People,

Sorry for being a little inactive here, i have some health issues in my family :frowning: I have received a few shipments yesterday, so here are just the pictures of the products to keep my thread active hehe.

First, I got the much anticipated Shanling Overture XM5 music player that I bought from Shanling. Itā€™s a compact and beautiful device with excellent sonic performance.

Second I got a shipment from EPZ as I am doing a tour for their products in the Indian region. I have got the EPZ530, EPZ320, K5, Q5 IEMs, and TP20 Pro and TP50 Pro DAC/AMPs!! Really excited to kick this tour off in the next week once I have my health concerns taken care of.

Take care, everyone, hope you guys had a good weekend.

Nice! The 530 is on my short list of IEMs Iā€™d like to hear :slight_smile: Curious about the other flagship models theyā€™re supposed to release any month now as well (K9?).

Edit: Sorry, first things first, Iā€™m very sorry to hear about health problems with those dear to you. I hope youā€™re doing ok. The rest of this response is to the audio side of what you wrote. Sorry for not reading through your post more thoroughly to be more sensitive to what you shared.

This blows my mind. The EPZ 320 is one of the most lo fi sets Iā€™ve heard in the last 3+ years. Warm and mushy, good only for easy listening when you donā€™t care at all about any other metric. If I were to use HBBā€™s scale Iā€™d put it between dumpster fire and ā€œhope it was freeā€. As a matter of fact I have a complimentary pair of IEMs that sound similar, but still maybe sound better.

A slightly different take is one thing but ā€œcleanā€ caught me off guard, I felt I had to at least leave a contradictory experience for people curious about the set.

The K5 had zero bass and character IMO. After all the hype, the Q5 was a major let down for having no special sauce and TBH being overpriced vs performance and other budget sets. The wannabe Advar shells accompanied with spiel about painstaking original design are the coupe de grĆ¢ce.

Actually overall EPZ are one of my biggest disappointments in the hobby. From what Iā€™d read in reviews they seemed like a smaller company just doing things right. Then I heard a lot of their sets, 4-5, and the BEST they could do for me was ā€˜ok for the money / similar to other options at the priceā€™ but not a single set hit me as special or even ā€˜goodā€™ rather than awful-to-ok.

I was curious for a while about their 530 but after the other flat disappointments I find it hard to believe they engineered anything original that surpasses all BA sets in the same price range.

They seem to in some cases just be rebranders. Ever heard of the Shozy Neo CP?

Needless to say I am throughly underwhelmed with the company and their products. But I probably wouldnā€™t have started the rant if I hadnā€™t heard the 320 being called clean! :rofl: To reiterate Iā€™m not saying youā€™re wrong and I appreciate you sharing very much. Just adding to the experiences from the same set for people browsing and building impressions.

Hey man, sorry for my late reply, I was a little busy during the day today.

About 320, I guess we both can have different opinions. I must add that these are my initial impressions so far with just 1-2 hours of listening. In fact I have just heard the 530 and 320 others are still packed in the box. I will just shoot an unboxing and forward everything to the tour as I am a little occupied right now(health concerns). So far, I like the 320 for its relaxing sound with a focus on vocals, 530 is different, I find it intimate but very comfortable for listening.
