Pelontar’s Planar adventures, part 2.

Found a deal on an open-box LCD-X. :slight_smile:
Arrived today. :grinning:
2020 model. :angry:

I’ll see how the comfort is, I guess. I know the previous model wasn’t exactly a bad headphone either, but…

These arrived today, and for the price it is expected that the main material used for this are not going to be top-notch like the IEMs I have owned. But when it comes to the sounds that you are getting from these, I must say they are hella good and I consider these as the “BLOn BL03 Lite” since I noticed that the sound signature that you’ll get from these is similar to the BLONs though leaning towards the V-shape signature.

I think the only downside that I can think about these would be the times that it can sound metallic, meaning not as natural as the BL03s. Treble can be a bit murderous, not surprising since it’s tuned to V-shape, but I have no problems with, since our ears are different. Replace the cable and the ear tips and it will be a good deal to have, I mean it’s $14, so not bad.

Hmm, just googled zs5 and they look somewhat more like campfire audio ara? :slight_smile:

those are ara? mine are much more titanium ish- less polished

Got a used Audeze Sine a few days ago. These need some real power. They sing on my Bravo Ocean

they do need a decent amount of power for a more portable designed headphone. they are pretty good though

No, the IEMs from photo are andromeda s.
I was saying that kz zs5 looks more like ara than andromeda s

Just purchased a brand new in box nos pair of GE 6BQ5 tubes for the QS for $42.99 from my buddy down in Florida. Pretty good price.

Picked up the KSC75 today as well.

I understand the “hype”, now. I put them on the iPhone lightning dongle for 5 minutes and could enjoy quite a few tracks (anything more acoustic or without too much drumplay)

And built like a tank. They came with pads that make them overear.Still taking them in. Just a very enjoyable headphone

How does it compare?

This arrived yesterday, but it wasn’t as described which is a bummer. It’s built well and has a solid feel, but was missing some components from the item description (load resistors). The website description has been updated (today) to omit the load resistors.

I was offered a refund by the vendor, but it’s still disappointing since I actually reached out to the vendor prior to my item shipping to verify that the resistors would be included (even though it was listed in the item description).

This isn’t slanderous as everything I’m stating is true. I’m just sharing my experience.

Literally a box with wires!

Yup! It’s definitely a convenience piece now since it offers no circuit protection without the load resistors.

I’ll have to dedicate it to Solid State duty now as I’m done that vendor.
