Rank: A+
Essentially a budget Oxygen with the same performance on acoustic/vocal music. Oxygen only beats it on bass quantity and texture, which isnt really needed for the kind of music these 2 specialize in. Currently my best BA iem.

Wow, with that many cons, I’d expect a lower grade. Great work as always!
Nah, it is definitely worthy of that score. It competes on the same level as the Oxygen basically. Only reason why I didnt give it S rank is due to the bass quantity/texture.

If no name for the cable, then at least a link. If the reader can’t indentify what cable it is or where to get it, then the work is wasted.
Yes, I will put the link (non-affiliate of course) inside the database. So when I refer to the cable you can just go into the database and find the link there.

Got some parts express headband and tried it on the Porta pro and the KSC75.
Porta pro:
Pros:
- More comfortable, doesn’t rip my hair out and less clamp
- Doesn’t look like a toy
- Even more lightweight
- A bit more treble and overall cleaner sounding, slightly less bass quantity but tighter. (very small change, even closer sounding to the KPH30i)
Cons:
- 3rd party product
- Unfoldable
Overall, it is a good improvement, but the KPH30i still sound better to me.
KSC75:
Pros:
- Better tonality as it is more balanced
- More bass while keeping quality
Cons:
- Slightly less airy and a tiny bit smaller soundstage
- Comfort is slightly worse since you can feel them on your ears and there is more heat generation, while you can barely feel them with the ear clips
- 3rd party product
Overall, a big improvement for my library. The biggest con it had with the ear clips is that it had too little bass and the tonality did lack warmth on most of my tracks. Rank up from B to A-.
Although for gaming, the ear clips are better since comfort is a more important factor than the sound difference.
Overall, my preference is still the same. Porta pro < KSC75 < KPH30i
Both before and after the parts express headband swap. But the KSC75 is closer to the KPH30i than before the mod at least.

Damn, after 2 success in a row with the FH3 and then the FD5. Wonder how good this is.
Although one part of me wishes it is bad…because I have already given both the FH3 and the FD5 5/5…some people might think I am shilling for fiio lol.

I like knowing how good or bad the stock cable is, to see if its worth buying an “upgrade”. Great work as always
Using 2 dynamic drivers, that’s something you don’t see every day ^^

I will most likely remove them from the list. But I will measure the stock cable in my reviews and impressions.
Yeah, I almost believed it was going to be a z1r copy, with one dd for the treble.

Interesting, seems like they went with the holes on the back like they did with the FD5. Hoping they will come with the same cable and that they’ll be priced equal or less. Maybe worth postponing my upgrade plans, though May is a long time and even then they’ll probably not be available in the Netherlands right away. 
Sigh… Another IEM I have to buy.
You don’t HAVE to…(I say as I’ve binge purchased at least 3 in the last month).
