So far the ESX with TRN Ear Tips is very nice, the default L ear tips somehow did not gave the right side a good fit could be me didn't fit properly as I could hear lesser bass... meaning the seal is not there.

The cable price....

$2600 USD cable? that's crazy

ok i just roughly watched it, nope its not worth $2600 USD in my opinion.

It just looks like a regular cable to my normal eyes...

It is exactly what this guy said... relaxed... even relaxed enough to play games with the other IEM I have I find the bass too overpowering to play games with.

KZ Vader balanced so far quite versatile, less bass than Castor Pro (Bass) but treble got more clarity and resolution. The bass is punchy.

KZ ESX is almost like a very relax V-shape bassy but still not as bassy as Castor Pro (Bass) decent mids and treble but no where close to Vader or hybrid and planar. Maybe that is why it is so decent for gaming doesn't overly emphasize anything especially bass my other IEM all not suitable for gaming as the bass is too rumbly as I do have to turn on my Creative ZxR effects to improve the surround and sounds etc.. so with it on... it is too much. ESX just nice dun have this issue.

Saw this reddit thread asking about single driver vs multi or hybrid. Thought I explain my own experience.

Having started with KZ ZS10 Pro (10mm DD + 4 BA) since last November, then later I got Planar KZ PRX, then Castor Pro Bass (2 x 10mm DD), CCA Hydro (7mm DD + 8mm DD + 8 x BA) and recently added KZ ESX (Single 12mm DD) and KZ Vader (3 x 8mm DD). While all of them sound decent, but the DD implementation lacks a certain sparkle that I hear from the hybrids, which kinda makes the overall listening experience more alive.

Planar is hard to explain... while it is nice.. but it kinda lacks the bass I kinda enjoy with the DD type, it has bass but different. But CCA Hydro give me the bass I really enjoys while also having that lively sparkle.

That might explains why all the kilobucks IEMS almost certainly are all some kind of hybrid... cannot imagine a single DD IEM selling at kilobucks...

Hmm single DD ar?? I actually was aiming for KZ Zenith... but still waiting for it to not be pre-order on Shopee... it is actually around the same price range as Kefine Delci.

I mean ultimately I might not get even the KZ Zenith.

Just dunno when will I ever see this price again... by the time this discount pop up, I already bought 2 pairs from Amazon at $30++ to $20++...
