They are great but they are BRIGHT, I prefer my KZs to my Sure 215 and they shit on my Samsung Buds.
Yeah, my Gear IconXs sounded tinny unless I put them on the bass boost setting. The ZS10s I mentioned sounded harsh and bright and my SHP9500s sound similarly unusable at higher volumes. Naturally, since I am a noob, I assumed it was because all my tech was cheap.
I am trying to figure out if the 58X Jubilees and the BLON03 or Tin T2s will suit me better.
I think the 58x is a great choice if you find the shp harsh and want a better sound overall imo, you really can’t go wrong with it for most people. I personally find the shp’s treble harsh and unrefined, and lacking some detail. The rest of the headphone to me is just alright (but the comfort is good at least lol)

Okay, great.
Thanks!
They aren’t bad the but they certainly aren’t anywhere in my list of favorites
I have the T2´s and I think they will have the same effect on your ears. I assume is the in ear canal type of earphone that doesn’t suits you, if you are considering the 58x you can’t go wrong with that.
Go for it and tell us your experience.

I’m treble sensitive and I love my HD58X. Too bright? Leave them over something for a few hours to crush the pads a bit. Still too bright? Adjust the “clamp” force (metal headband).
But I liked my ZS10 Pros, and he hated these… I’d suggest dark, closed-back headphones instead maybe? Meze 99 Noirs? I don’t know.
P.S.: Maybe you listen to your music way too loud, too… if that’s it, getting dark-sounding headphones would be perfect… but you’ll be deaf in one week lol. Be careful.

sounds like your treble sensitive to me, what do you think about Klipsch speakers? BTW just plugged my KZ ZS10 Pro’s into my little bear b4, it really smoothed them out, high’s are a lot less harsh.
Yeah, that is what I have gathered too. I never knew that before I got into hi-fi. I now own Audioquest Nighthawks and they’re great for me lul.
But no, I don’t have any experience with Klipsch speakers, but any speaker recs you can give me with smoother tweeters would be much appreciated.
Also, would you recommend the little bear b4? I am trying to find the cheapest way to get the most out of a pair of 6XXs

I have specific sensitivities I love my 990 hate the m570 and the t3 it seems to be that 8k bothers me most and agressiveness is a big minus in the treble for me

I actually originally bought my little bear for my HD6xx, it doesn’t have enough power for those headphones in my opinion. Klipsch speakers are very bright because they are horn loaded if you thought the KZ ZS10 PRO had too much treble you’ll absolutely hate Klipsch. I ask if you’ve heard Klipsch before because they are a known very bright speaker brand that a lot of people have heard and I was trying to figure out if you where treble sensitive or not.

The new Klipsch speakers actually aren’t that bright they are fairly smooth in the treble imo, but older Klipsch are pretty bright
My THX Ultra’s are bright as fuck, only Klipsch speaker I have a lot of experience with.
Yeah those are going to be fairly bright, stuff like the rp600m has really toned it down and smoothed it out

Ya, I need the hear the new stuff, I personally really like the bright nature of them, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

RE: Chocolate_Bear
WOW. Thank you… it really helped me much.
Knowing it actually works I blame that I’m used to headphones with foam cover (like foam on Porta pro) so inserting catton in IEM results n more familiar vibe

I have the Pros, which I found a little shrill at first. I changed the cable to the Tripowin from Linsoul and they went from a little shrill to sublime. Did the same for my Moondrop starfields, same effect. Bought my son the ZSX and my daughter the Tin T2s, she is treble sensitive and loves the T2s, though she keeps ‘borrowing’ my Moondrops.
Huh, this cotton ball mod is scary. Put the cotton ball inside and not outside the comply “mesh”. Otherwise you will get a small cotton ball, or little parts of it, stuck inside your ears, and that will require a doctor to remove it for you… and you won’t like it.
Also ear infections etc.
I had exactly the same problem. Hated these as they sounded like the cymbals were next to my ear drum. Got a pair of foam eartips which fixed the majority of the problem for me.
Fixed the same problem by buying the KZ AS06s. If that’s not enough for you, the KZ AS10s have even less highs. 
And yeah, foam tips always help. Better seal = less treble + more bass and sub-bass.
