Reply to comment by xler8r in KZ PR1 Pro ($40 Planar IEM). Too good to be true? by GuitarHentaiMan

I’m seeing it for $100.80 CAD on AliExpress. That’s about $75 USD. Is it worth it at that price?

Dunno. It’s a tough call. At that price, I feel like saving a lil more for the S12. It’s $119 USD right now. I think Pr1 pro price will drop again.

Or maybe I’d be tempted to get the Pr1 (non-pro) for $40 on AliExpress. The non-pro model’s tuning isn’t as good as the Pro, but would still be enjoyable, cheap way to experience planar.

Thanks. I found one for about $68 USD and ordered it. I’m totally new to this kind of earphone so I wouldn’t have spent more than $75. If I end up liking it, then I’ll consider the S12 or whatever else is better. I wasn’t aware that the PR1 was that much cheaper. I would’ve went with those instead.

That’s more what I was hoping to see them for. I’ll bet you like them. This thread has a lot of good comments about the details you can hear with the PR1. Hearing new parts of songs is my favorite part of this hobby RN. I’ve been spending my time with my AirPods Pro 2 just amazed at the way the instruments are separated around my head. I have their spatial audio off and Atmos off, so it’s not that. I’ve never heard the separate elements of songs before like this.

I don’t even like the Beatles that much, but “Here comes the sun” (remastered) came on and I couldn’t believe how I could hear all the layers of it.

Lol, someone really went through the effort to downvote our comments. Anyway, I miss the joy of enjoying music with good quality earphones/headphones. I'm glad I stumbled across this new model recently. What's funny is that I considered it because I didn't want to get my current headphones sweaty during the summer.
