🎶 Music I Love 🥰

[takuzae]

Further solidifies my love for qkz hbb. Maestro of course is another lvl. Love warm bassy sound

[radustoltz]

Crazy to think the HBB is 20 dollars and the maestro is 1600+

[jominksimon]

This mastro thing is going to be my life mission....

[estinoazell]

Maestro SE makes you question life itself lol

[robLuis]

maestro se, simply it's in a different level, all sounds very relaxing and smooth but clear in the same time.

[renatobdc]

Your channel is an art! Thanks for that.

[rubenviegas]

Maestro just kills it… but this short definitely needs to get longer so we can enjoy… Well, enjoy Maestro a little bit more 😁 QKZ perfoms really well tho…

[benjamincarter]

The HBB sound demo kicks when listening through Campfire Atlas and Fiio Q5 with AM3D module

[mickyj]

Wow that Meastro SE made me gasp when it came on.

[Raikiry]

Fineee, I'm going to save money for the

[retouthugues]

I bought the QKZ HBB 15$ and it's shockingly good for the price. I love it !! I swich betwin it and the dunu sa6 ultra, that is great too but so much more expensive...

[ninjasiren]

That FatFreq Maestro SE is something and a future buy most likely.

I started from a cheap QKZ CK6 Blue -> QKZ AK6 (Blue+Purple) -> QKZ AK6 Pro (Blue+Purple) -> Currently running KZ Castor (Improved Bass, UUDU switch)

Maestro is the warmest and sounds "grand", BUT sounds a bit surpressed (depending on the song ofc).

[issariley]

The eternal sounds a bit soft/blunted, the ikko sounds like it can potentially be a bit spicy on certain tracks, maestro sounds fantastic but is definitely too bassy for my preference and the qkz sound nicely balanced if not a slight bit too bass heavy for me.QKZ ftw but seeing as how I'm a guy who EQs all my IEMs, I would definitely pick the maestro and simply use a bass shelf filter to drop the bass

[slverhand_]

I did an ab testing of this song with my qkzXhbb and khan, the way khan is pushing air into my lil ear canals, I don't think I can take any more than this

[edwinchan]

I feel that Shozy 1.4 might also be a good choice in this category

[Polyphiaa]

Maestro se aside, qkz x hbb sounds better than the others lol

[ProtikC]

This is astonishing doing some A/B testing with the original audio and the IEM samples from Dan, with my EQ-ed single DD Aune Jasper to Annihilator 23 + KZ Castor Filter, and it sounds almost same as Fatfreq probably with less separation in the mid bass from sub-bass, like bass guitars on Maestro is on another level but not sacrificing anything in tonality or layering in aune except for little bit of extension on both ends, just a tad less resolving. Now I am gonna try with Fatfreq eq as well. At least this is better than nothing when obviously the expensive maestro must have its perks when listened to in person rather than through some mannequin head mics, but compared with the other samples from cheaper sets, it is definitely out there with the TOTL when eq done right, with some minor drawbacks for sure. But HBB is killer for the price as well. If anybody reading can you name IEM which are famous for equing to TOTL level .

[Funzilla_Official_Channel]

Wow when the Maestro SE comes in the soundfield gets wider. So far the QKZ HBB a good one (fyi listening from sony ier z1r+fiio btr15)

[mandaf]

qkz HBB for me, the second is Maestro SE
