    I'd love to try something more neutral, so I will give these a try if I find a store that ships to my country.

        You are dodging whatever people are saying to you, IDK if it's intentional or not.

          sounds extra nasally in all his music but this can easily be
          remedied by listening to better artists." 💀💀💀💀

                              Well for 20 sounds really awesome.
                              Some other brands cost 10 times as much and sounds maybe 10 times better but doesnt last 10 times longer so its still great for the price.
                              But my favorite at this price range are JBL Tune 105, Tune 110 and Tune 210 cost likely same or even less and sounds even better.

Those things are a ... moreThe ZSN Pro X have the usual KZ sound, with boosted bass and treble and suppressed mids. It's a much more colored sound, which is fine if you are into that stuff but the Chu is for users who prefer a neutral sound.

                                  my good sir, your on a glorified mp3 player.

                                  and even if the quality is "better" you wasting your time on a cheap set of IEM's rendering your 20.00 mp3 player useless. youve shelled out around 900 for it and want to spend 20.00 on your headphones.

                                  atleast with the 2002 PC you have the option to chance the audio quality + the music your listening to has been produced on either Wibndows or MAC.

                                  humble yourself.

                                      dbjungle, 20 Jun 2022Just out of curiosity... What do you think of the M40x? I... moreMy advice, take it or leave it, is to buy a very cheap IEM that is reviewed by almost everyone like KZ EDX, CCA CRA, BLON BL03 or even this Chu. Then, listen to them and after that read or watch the reviews. You may find a couple of reviewers who will say exactly what you heard. Those reviewers are the one who had the same taste in you. Then you can use their opinions.
                                      Audio is very subjective and there is no wrong choice ( I mean there are some absolutely terrible stuff, but there may be someone who likes them) , just different preferences and tastes.
