Both low-priced sound and good headphones, PR1 is true to its name.

Bought. But I'm going to return them. The sound is hardly better than my old 20 euro earphones from Apple. Sometimes Apple is even better. And I find in ear really terrible: pressing feeling in my ears. gives a lot of irritation.

9:16 Wow I didnt know that you have also kinera nanna which one is it OG or 2.0? I love my nanna 2.0 imperial and will never let it go. I have many iems and headphones but nanna is my favorite. I just bought the KZ pr2 x HBB for early price of 37 eur.

Mine shipped from Linsoul today. Looking forward to trying them. Have you tried them for gaming by any chance?

I prefer the KZ PR1 Pro over Moondrop Aria 2 because of the mic. Otherwise both are really really good for the price.

I just ordered one after watching your review. That cable looks great too. I snagged it for around $53 US, yeah with vouchers and coupons.

I just can not give them my money, on the basis of honesty.
My pocket book has a long memory.
Cheers.

Very much looking forward to the performance of the PR1 PRO, but I have not received the goods.

Good review, I’ll just correct that you have a HI-FI version in your hands - because there were three versions of PR1 (I had them all, now only PRO is left). Least of all I liked the BALANCE version - there is too much bass, as if a separate subwoofer plays and interferes very much on many styles (for example, psychedelic).
The PRO version has less bass, but it has more of it and is of lower quality than the HI-FI version.
The HI-FI version has the most aggressive high frequencies and, against their background, heavily squandered mids. Everything was obeyed only with silicone tips - since foam ones kill the sound of planars, making it cottony. All three versions have rather accentuated highs, which are very disturbing on bright pop-music or some Yello tracks.
In general, I advise this PR1 series to serious music, where you can hear the multi-layered, variety of instruments (classical music is just perfect). Under primitive styles it is better to take something from the dynamic. I tried Panda planars - the middle is much more aggressive, the treble is almost excellent, but there were some problems on the mid-bass, when the bass guitar came in - a buzz began, which clogged the entire lower middle.
Now the PR2 model has come out - but I think it will be smooth planars with damped high frequencies, which will more resemble dynamic (like Panda).
The stock cable is rather simple everywhere, and in the PRO version it is also thin, gets confused and slightly smoothes the microdynamics throughout the frequency response. I will try some copper or graphene for them.
My PR1 PRO was forced out of circulation by more and more expensive headphones, therefore, after these short circuits, it is simply not interesting to listen to them (I don’t remember where this Mangird Tea2 and DT770 are lying around).
