Ok, tried all of them. Neon 4 - great. But expensive.. Krypt 5 - mids are recessed.. Xenon 6 - great again but HEAVY. I mean really heavy. So 4 is the winner.
I can understand how premium headphones with expensive materials like carbon fiber, titanium, sheepskin and the drivers (which are a much more substantial size) go for multiple thousands of dollars. I splurged over $1k for the LCD X 2021 and love them, beyond them, the diminishing returns are small for 2X or 3X the price. But when they're making such great sounding iems for $20-$50, I'm really surprised what some of these high end iems are priced at. I'm considering a new tribrid basshead iem for just over $1000 to perhaps be my endgame in iems. How much do these products really cost to R&D and manufacture? I think they'd sell a lot more with affordable pricing. Especially the larger companies.
Trust me these iems will make experience music in ways you never have imagined, yes they are expensive but trust me either get 400 iem or just jump to 3000+ it will make a huge difference in the listening experience.
An audiophile buddy of mine with a great pair of ears whom I trust (we have same taste) says that the KR5 represent only a minor, or cynically even just a sideways, upgrade over Shure SE530 in both musicality and technicalities. Could you please confirm, if you have recent first-hand experience with both sets. Thanks.
Still not satisfying as IER Z1R and Legend X Evo even though they have tactile bass to be honest I felt the bass more on the Evo and Z1R but the Xenon 6 has a oh so lush and warm mid range that sound so good! So the Xenon 6 is the best IEM if you want some warmth they sound good on classics like Air Supply
Extremely good compliment to each other. They’re both of my top iems odin is extreme clarity xenon 6 is extreme warmth Don’t listen to the haters that only care about all rounders they are the lamest

Heavier than the z1r?
Krs5 isn't reccessed with the red atom
How about Radon 6?
