C'mon Paul..when will we see the xWasabii..you deserve your own collab.. considering you're rather large contribution to the hobby and unwavering tenacity at bringing content
@@PaulWasabii I agree Paul, I too am wondering when "____ x Wasabii" will be released? Hehehe... And I also agree, in fact that's what i've been thinking as well. It seems they have this one tuner who they might be assigning to do certain sets with both KZ and CCA. I don't think the recent improvements in their tuning is just the result of years and years of trial and error(of which mostly are errors). Maybe KZ has finally decided to invest in acquiring the services of a well experienced tuner or sound engineer or something who really knows how to do iem tuning.
Just a great take on KZ as a whole,Paul. Interesting take on the D-FI. I have the non switchable version and l actually really like it. But l am loving the new Saga too l find the vocals on them surprisingly good for all its bass! And I'm enjoying the EDC PRO as well. KZ are releasing a lot of fun budget sets these days.
Kz are working hard lately. As you said maybe hired new people to tune their sets. When it comes to DD, they been on a great run. The wide acceptance of Castor, Trio made me think they changed their trajectory
With dusk tuning maybe. I tunned the Castor Harman the closest I could to my dusk just as a test of what eq can do and honestly, they could do it. Just 1 DSP cable and we're good to go
I am not sure that is on their radar yet. I had the same thought after hearing KE4 and it is exactly what I said in this review, KZ needs their slant on that style. Not replicating KE4 or Meta, but make it fun and on a platform like Hydro.
KZ should've just gone fully removable cable. The fact that the cable is non-removable might be a turn-off for some people. And yeah, on the issue of driver flex; the ZAS that I had, had some considerable driver flex going. The Saga that I have, has a bit of driver flex going as well. So far, Rhapsody is clean, no driver flex whatsoever. By the way Paul, watched this video with the PRX(mine arrived last Saturday). Sure am enjoying the heck out of it. As much as I enjoy the Rhapsody so much, second to the Legato, but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to unplug the PRX from my desktop dac-amp. Oh, and this would also be my very first planar-magnetic; and at this point, i'm sure the S08s and the S12's and MP145s will sound better, but I'm good with this one. I don't know if I've reached that point, but I just don't have that urge to upgrade anymore, or even be thinking about spending more for some "law of diminishing returns"; hehehe... I do wonder though, given that KZ seems to keep working on their planar-magnetic line, if there's going to be a 5th iteration for the PR series. Maybe a full-metal build? Or how about the first dual planar-magnetic driver with tuning switches? I've yet to see anyone do a double planar-magnetic driver set. Plausible you think?
I'm not an audiophile at all but I have both and the Carol is a ton of fun for TWS listening but because the Saga is an IEM it has much more detail in the high end. Both are lots of fun for me. Both have great bass and a fun sound profile.
I talked about this with KZ Saga so check out that review. The shape of the bass shelf is different, Dawn and Saga are linear from subbass thru midbass, Castor is a bump or bulge so less subbass and more midbass. If you like hiphop and deep subbass, that is Saga/Dawn. More impactful bass, closer to Castor.
Yes, not that they are the best KZ sets, but most of the comments are should I buy some older KZ set and my answer is try EDC Pro. If that is nice, then step up to Rhapsody, Hydro, PRX, Trio, etc.
