I wanted to try a planar, and if its good for 40 bucks, i can take the hit, i just dont want to have a collection of 200 KZ´s

IS it just me or im getting a ZEX Pro vibe from this ?, that KZ releases them without declaring the collab and a few days later someone like Crinacle, or Zeos comes out and says "yea, those are mine".

oddly enough this thing hits several reviewer target graph, PaulWasabi and Practiphile target sound sig.

Those two are pretty active on KZ-Discord and share the EQ for OG PR1 to be closer to their target, maybe KZ take a look and their preferences

i think i misunderstood you,

KZ is publishing different graphs depending on the target of the reviewer or many reviewers have a similar graph to which this IEM gets close to ?

Basically these reviewer have asking for a more balanced planar sets since PLA13 is out. they note the driver is capable but the tuning ruining it. They also shared their EQ preset for Pla13 to make it closer to their prefered sound sig. among these reviewers are PaulWasabi and Practiphile.

PR1 Hifi later released with sound sig that was closer to the reviewer demand but still dig deep in fun v sound. So the reveiwer continue to ask for more balanced sound sig as well as sharing the EQ preset for it.

and now KZ finally released the more balanced PR1, the PR1 Pro who apparently straddles PaulWasabi and Practiphile prefered sound sig.

One thing they lament is KZ have EDA-balance and EDA High-res which are quite the darling in their community. but their decision choose not to continue the balanced sound sig bloodline is beyond me.

this hits back to KZ as one of the new budget kings TangZu Wan'er is basically TangZu takes on Eda-Balance tuning. There is also SGOR Venus who apparently using the same driver but tried to improve the tuning of Eda-Balance who are also have their little hype.
