im sad that the sub-bass doesnt look like their own store graph lol.

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.

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.

They are definitely bass light compared to the X6. (in stock)

Nope, haven’t tried EQ.
Don’t really want to be switching between EQ settings with the amount of gear I have but if I can handle it easily somehow on the R5 I will (or maybe only for the LBBS - i.e. “LBBS” or off)… 
OK. It just seems like they sound a lot better with a tiny change so maybe I can try with a rubber/silicone ring on them or something.
To my ears, they don’t need extra bass if press on them slightly…

You can also try different wearing techniques, I believe @Rikudou_Goku has taken photos of 2 or 3 possibilities in the past, but can’t remember when and where.
Straight low, diagonal, over ear…
Rubber rings beware they can obstruct back vents.
