lol! Never thought I'd see CCA or KZ get reviewed here. So is there anything good from the companies at all? AS16 or AST?

Wish if there is something of hi quality, its not coming with cheap silicone tips. Still remember super cheap earphones koss the plug, which came with 15 euro price and memory foam, heaven for ears.
Prices of memory foam tips went up since then tho.

imparanoic, 03 Apr 2023Yes, Asus rog 5/5s is currently the best, but lg phones use... moreThe V50/V60 use Snapdragon 855 and 865 respectively, so they are pretty good for 99% of use cases even now.

7Hz x Crinacle Salnotes Dioko is the best budget planar available if you're tight on budget. Please never consider buying KZ.
Yeah I know there is Kinera Gumiho which is cheaper. But, it's not really a planar iem.

Lei, 03 Apr 2023Zetian Wu is the best budget planar IEM. The difference bet... moreZetian Wu are NOT budget planar IEMs. 150 Dollars is in the price range of many planar IEMs, something like my Kinera Celest Pandamon are budget and quite good, although the design is not for everyone

Glenico353, 03 Apr 2023Are you saying that some $1000+ DAPs have similar sound qua... moreNo I meant the specs obviously. The sound output for a $1000 DAP would be out of this world.

If you want good planars for a similar price, pick up Kinera Celest Pandamon. Massive upgrade from my CCA C10, quirky design but they have a nice cable, carrying box and two pairs of earplugs with different sound signatures

MR45, 03 Apr 2023Okay, I will give the Blon 03 a chance. But in your opinion... moreSQ wise, blon will be streets ahead. If you really want to improve blon,do Slater mod. It will open up the mids and makes the bass more controlled.

Even though there are more technically competent iems for the same price now, Slater modded blon's warm lush tonality is still a force to be reckoned with.

you have to suffer, 03 Apr 2023but does the rog phone has quad dac that powers audiophile ... moreThere is limited power on both phones lg and Asus, but Asus has better DAC ESS Sabre ES9280AC than LG, in order to drive low impedance headphone, you need balance output using either 2.5mm or 4.4mm, neither Asus or LG had this, only one phone ever had this, the old onkyo dp-cmx1, even then only 150mw which means it drive not so high impedance headphone

I've also used the PLA13 for almost two months at this point so if there was going to be any difference with burn-in it would have set in by now.

good thing crinacle has the graphs, this review matches the graphs. the bass is way up there, beating even the bass heavy CCA CRA but at least it is precise in the highs. is there a noticeable superior sound on planar vs the thin film dynamic in the CRA?

Grey importing them would make the government impose ridiculously atrocious sales and import taxes.

KondriX, 03 Apr 2023I guess you should try the V-series from LG, especially V50... moreYes, Asus rog 5/5s is currently the best, but lg phones use older system of a chip snapdragon probably 845 could be a long in the tooth in terms of performance
