But these are a decent back up to have Just wonder if Sennheiser would be able to confirm whether the units being sold from the Sennheiser Digital Store are genuine - I'm very tempted to ask them, be good to know either way. The price appears to have gone back up to around £95 (inc P&P) since I ordered mine. Nice one. When i (and Dawn) first tried ours, there was a noticeable different tone signature. Ive never liked the KZ’s so i was coming from others, but ive still used them a few times. We both agreed that while they are a bit quieter (not a problem at all), they are both more refined and musical. Less fatiguing over a long gig/rehearsal. Nothing that didnt take very little time to adjust to, but as you’ve noticed, easier to wear, which was the big deal for me at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I don't use them, a back up pair for £40 isn't bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Edwards69 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Admittedly, this quote made be laugh inside. “We had it out on over 70 shows with Mötley Crüe, from the prototype all the way to the finished product; it worked perfectly for those guys and allowed them to perform on a higher level,” As much as I love the Crue, I'd hardly trust them as a barometer of performance excellence these days.

dave_bass5 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 ‘A higher level’? What on earth does that mean? Are we to assume all bands that use these will instantly play better somehow, even if using top end gear already which i assume bands like MC are already doing. That quote makes the whole thing a bit cheesy for me, i will not be equipping the band with them now 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorandelac Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hey guys need help... I want to buy better ear tips from my kz zs10 pro x, just can find what is the inside diameter... which ones to buy? Any pointers? I want a foam ones not the silicone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 I don't think you can reliably measure. With tips, fit is so changeable, I think it's just a case of buying a load and trying them to see which works best for you. For example, if you see yourself as a M in one brand, you may get better results with a S in another (due to lying and sealing deeper in the ear). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us have gone for better tips like Comply or the cheaper brands for the KZ’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting at $ 4,499.00 https://jhaudio.com/iem/JHA-UIEM-RPB A set of high quality hearing aids will set you back £2500 - £3500, so these being in that ball park does not surprise me. I'm currently on my third or fourth monitoring setup intended to mimic the eq curve of my hearing aids, so there is a market there.

JapanAxe Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 On 26/02/2023 at 20:21, EBS_freak said: Worth noting that 823-832 is part of the shared mic license (fee based) as opposed to the 863-865 free, no license required, frequencies. I've just bought a Sennheiser XSW IEM setup that operates in the 823-832MHz band. I've signed up with OfCom as a PMSE casual user and looked at buying a licence before I venture out to use it live. Unhelpfully, there is no mention of this band alongside the UHF Channel 38 licence, except they say 'Channel 69: the band 790 - 862 MHz (including Channel 69) was cleared of PMSE use from 1st January 2013.' As I understand it, 823-832MHz was added in 2015. Is the OfCome website really that out-of-date or am I missing something? I think I'll give them a call! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
