Tonality is near identical on the EX800ST/EX1000 when both are EQed to my target.
The difference is that the EX1000 sounds cleaner due to it having a bit better treble extension (airier) and bass is tighter/faster.
Tech is better on the EX1000 though.
The EQ presets are in my database if you got them and want to try it. (@Mufflertape )
Me looking for mids and sub bass be like
well at least it only costs 20 bucks. Wonder about QC tho
Yeah, considering it is an MST driver, that is a steal. Hopefully it has EQ potential if the stock tuning is bad.
I guess I will find out lol.
For QC I can imagine something pulled like GK10. Glue the drivers and call it a day.
Still betting it will sound more coherent , ahah
TBH, KZ and CCA does have pretty good QC…
Only 2 drivers, instead of 3 different types and 5 in total.
So it better be more coherent lol.
Right? He’s simply amazing!
Yikes, that graph does not look promising
Treble looks fine, its a bit reduced from the DQ6 (and uses a different driver). Sub-bass is probably lacking to me, what worries me is that early bass-shelf. It starts at the lower mids, so note-weight might be affected by it.
Most first impressions seem good despite the graph. But first reviewers have been very quick, and have different taste than you. It will be interesting to have your impressions and thorough review.
I might get mine in the coming days, and am still in discovery mode for different signatures and driver types so I am very curious.
The bass into the mids look kinda not great… but for the $20 or so I spent it will at least be different then any other IEM I have. It also doesn’t look quite as bad as the GK10 in that respect either.
KZ´s NRA:
Guess they didnt wait to get more feedback from the NRA alpha testers lol.
Not even a month since the NRA released I believe.
Is CCA KZ’s testing brand? With KZ picking and choosing what they think did well from what CCA releases.
Edit
Also the Kato looks interesting.
Oh shit, I like that graph. A lot. (golden)
In the past, CCA usually hada more balanced tuning, while KZ was the V-shaped ones. Other than KZ fans, CCA was the more popular one I believe (remember the KZ ZS10 Pro and the CCA C10?).
Got my LBBS’ and the R5 Saber today… 
I think my ear canals might be a tad too tight for the LBBS’ as they sound very bass light.
I get a lot more thick sound when pressing them into the ears.
Weird things is I don’t have that issue with the X6’s.
They sound a lot thicker/meatier.
Might also just be a matter of trying different foams?
Currently using the full ones that came with them.
