Hook x is a good all rounder. Very very complete iem.
ZAS is a great upgrade from ZAX. I haven’t tried ZAR, so can’t speak about it.
From there, AFUL Performer 5 has been my golden IEM in the next tier up. Original Hook-X is pretty nice, too, but can’t really match Performer 5.

What a coincidence for a topic refreshment… It’s not 1:1, but maybe you had a chance to try KZ ZSX? I owe them a 1.5 year and I’m looking for an upgrade. I mean they are not that bad but maybe a little boring for me I’d say.
I even had a chance to buy an unused (but unboxed for delivery) Philips Fidelio S2 like 2.5 months ago, but I’m unable to fit them correctly.
Yesterday I ordered Fanmusic TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero (blue), but now I’m thinking that maybe I should make a bigger step…
I’m looking for something more fun and “juicy” sounding. More comfort would be also wonderful because I had problems wearing them (KZ ZSX) since the beginning.
If that helps, I have RebelAMP + Topping D50s with Muses02 op-amp.
Sorry for bothering you, I wanted to avoid creating a new topic
