Is this better than the Final Audio E2000?

JoeBiNo. Unless you really like the smoother KZ house sound
Final E2k sounds to me is more on par with Carbo Tenores. The KZ personally don't feel all too worth it, especially with some cheap-ish stuff laying around
Plus, TinAudio T2 is actually pretty good and afaik cheaper than these, and the T2 is quite a high bar to beat for budget Chinesium

malvinvnvThanks. Have you heard TinAudio T2, and it beats the E2000 and Tenores? I heard it lacked some bass.
What about the FH1? I had the FH1 but figured out my left ear is bigger and I botched the seal. Leaning on my left side closed the gap and it was nice, but I'd already promised it away. Maybe I should dig up my ZS5.1 for another try.
I like the E2000 better than the Carbo Tenores, which I used for several years but they funked up just as I got the E2000.

JoeBiSorry for the slow reply. I did heard the T2, and I can't really say it beats the E2k and Tenores frankly. I notice that both E2000 and Tenores are actually smoother, and perhaps distorts less in the treble region whilst the T2 can sound a bit harsh and brittle when it comes to higher pitched sound. The Tenores would probably be the one with the perceivably most bass, and it's actually quite in line with the tuning as well, since it aims for a very fun, yet somewhat decently well managed V-shaped soundsig.
The E2k tends to be V as well, as compared to the warm and thick E3000. It has less impact on the subbass region but the midbass actually lends it a very nice, very Final Audio-like house sound. It works the best with vocal tracks and those that are not really requiring the drivers to produce fast transients like rap songs or electronics.
The T2 I would say is quite the balanced compromise between both, even factoring in the slightly brittle treble regions. Its bass actually extends low enough to give the fun in electronic music. It's not gonna rattle your head any time soon, but it does subs pretty well. The midbass is not as pronounced as the E2k and can play quite well with quite a lot of genres. The mids are not the most lively vs the E2000 but it is quite a bit better than the Tenores on account fo the less heavy bass.
As for the FH1, I did tried it a while back but unfortunately, I can't really remember what it sounds like and I'd rather not comment on it lest I give the wrong directions as it may affect the subjective impression as well. Sorry about that.
Hope this helps though
