Can any one tell ablout its sound.ihav kc06a and kc09 i know its sound great

SabarnaDefinitely sounds better than KC09 by a margin (Sony ZX300 DAP). I have never listened to KC06A though.

egglizhenHow is it better? I have the KC09 and like them. I love short runs of loud music, but am treble sensitive sometimes and these don't cause me trouble, even listening to longer podcasts. Though the bass can get crowded, I don't notice unless I switch to another hp right away.

JoeBiTo me it is all around improvement. Maybe except the bass. 07 got a tab too loosed on the bass. But the BA unit definitely adds more clarity and separation to the sound, allowing you to get more details of the music. I am not quite sure how much treble sensitivity you are talking about here. To my ear, 09's treble is actually quite crispy and less smooth, which is not supposed to be super friendly to listeners with treble sensitivity. If 09 don't give you trouble, I don't believe 07 will. I am using Sony ZX300 by the way. Different DAC/AMP yield different sound signature.

egglizhenHmm that doesn't bode well- to me the KC09's bass was already kinda rounded in nature. If that of the KC07 is even looser...

Oct 26, 2018

phoenixsongWell, to me they are equally loosed. Neither one of them satisfies me at bass department, lol. But yea, if you valued the bass more, forget abt KC07. Probably will be better off with RHA t10i.

egglizhenI actually did notice today that the 09 treble was a bit grainy listening to Steely Dan "Any Major Dude" on a resurrected iPod mini. The E3000 is less warm but the highs are smoother, which I prefer, but still not great on this track. The GR07 classic treble was great, but the whole thing was too bright. Perhaps I should try that RHA.

egglizhenI love the kc09 sound but how do the the soundstage and vocals compare to the kc07s? I would prefer a more forward and clear vocal presentation with the same great soundstage and dynamics the kc09 produces

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

NabildinhoI give KC09 a 5 out of 10 on soundstage. KC07 probably scores a 6 out of 10. Same with the vocal.

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenSo does it generally keep the same sound as the kc09 apart from a bit more detail and clarity? I was hoping for a good upgrade.

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenBro i ha kc06,kco6a and kc09 but kc09 is good update awsome sound with good bass.really enjoyable.i giv 8.5 out of 10.but i want can u plz compare kc07/brainwavz b400/ue900

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

NabildinhoFor me KC07 is like 10% better than 09 in every aspect (high, mid, bass, sound stage, separation, clarity) except the bass. 10% ain't a whole lot, but to me they add up. It gives me a better overall listening experience. But is it mind-blowing? Hell no. After all it's a sub-$200 IEM.

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

SabarnaWell, I gave KC09 a 5 out of 10, and KC07 a 6... I never had b400 or UE900. I had UE900S though. U might not agree with me, but I think KC07 blow the UE900S out of the water. Even KC09 is better than UE900s by a margin. I am totally not a fan for UE. I have once tried out their $1500 flagship UE 18+Pro. And u know what, I rather pick the $200 KC07. Other people seem to like them though. So what can I say.....

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenThanks for the impressions and in this price range what do you feel is the best iem for forward and full vocals with a big soundstage both width and height?

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenBro b400 sounded great,i think kc09 is good when u got 69 usd from here.i hav ue900s sounded good but without bass. Plz bro tell can u prefer me kc07,i hav 50 pair of earphones but they priece under 800 isd.not here 1500usd earphone.in kco7 range i hav rha t20i,b400,ue900s,lz a4,etymotic er3xr.but can u suggest me bro to buy it bro

Oct 29, 2018

SabarnaWhat kind (pop, rock, classical, etc.) of music you like? Do you listen with your phone or do you use any DAP or DAC/AMP? And price wise, I assume you mean 150 usd but not 1500 usd?

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

NabildinhoSoundstage generally are somewhat limited in IEMs. And at this price range you don't get huge, ear-blowing improvements. All I can say is if you liked KC09, KC07 won't disappoint, especially when use with proper DAP or AMP. If possible, maybe consider Campfire Audio Dorado in the future. That's an absolute beast in vocal.

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenUse in mobile with fiio f7 and brainwavz b2 amplifire.

Sabarnawhat kind of music?

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenI prefer balenced sound.and clear with some good bass.no artificial tune making sound like some company need clean and good sound like imr r1 but in 150 usd which earphone u prefer me.sound of ue900s is good less bass but godd for 169 usd i hav ostry kco9 and kco6a they are good but can u prefer me kco7.

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

SabarnaKC07 doesn't have better bass than KC09. So no, if u want bass, go somewhere else.

Vote

Oct 29, 2018

SabarnaGo with rha t20i if u focus on good bass. But overall KC07 is more balanced.

Oct 29, 2018

SabarnaI have never tried those.

Oct 29, 2018

egglizhenThanks for your help, I may get the kc07 then. Regarding soundstage I have tried a few really highly recommended iems and they have dissapointed due to small soundstage. I generally notice the difference because I watch a lot of movies. I have been following the dm6 hype train aswell but am not sure if that iem is worth it though.

Oct 31, 2018

egglizhenFor good vocals in the sub £200 range what is your pick. I like full, forward and clear

NabildinhoEtymotic: ER3XR Moondrop: Kanas Pro Edition Ostry: KC07

Oct 31, 2018

egglizhenThanks for your suggestions. I am a movie watcher and would like both male and female vocals sounding good especially male vocals. If you were to pick one for the clearest, detailed, full and energetic vocals which one would be your pick?

Vote

Oct 31, 2018

NabildinhoThen go with either ER3XR or KC07. Moondrop KPE is more for female vocals.

Oct 31, 2018

egglizhenThanks alot and lastly I really want to go for the ostrys now but there's just a few iems in the way for me to decide. Have you ever tried the dm6, b400, tenhz p4 pro or any recently hyped iems? If soo do you still think the ostrys are the best choice for me? Appreciate your help.

Vote

Oct 31, 2018

NabildinhoI haven't tried any of those. Sorry couldn't help you much there. But I heard quite some good words on the DM6 from my friends.

Oct 31, 2018

egglizhenI have in my possession the it01s, hifiboy os v3, ostry kc09 and have tried the tfz secret gardens. Neither of those excel in vocal even after the rave reviews.

Vote

Oct 31, 2018

Nabildinhoit01 sucks bro. Ibasso's earphones have been nothing but disappointment so far. Both it01 and it03 suck ass. They are even losing out market share back in China. I hope they do a better job on it04, but given my experience with the previous two, I probably won't even try it. lol

Oct 31, 2018

egglizhenHahaaa soo true man!!! I fell for the hype train and have a suspicion the dm6 could be the new one aswell. is was between the kc07 and dm6 for me.

SabarnaI too have KC06A's - love them. Wish they had a little more low end, they clarity "for a noob like me" is great.

do not get the Ibasso IT01s mixed up with the IT01. The 01s is different tuning than the original and sounds great. Please read all the reviews you can on IT01s.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
