Funny, the issue he has with these is one of the reasons I like the originals. I appreciate them not invading deep into my ear canals, I don't always want that. Weirdly I seem to be more fatigued by bass than treble, so I don't really notice the issue he talks about as a result of the shallow nozzle depth.
Of the 4 cheap IEM's I own, if I'm going on comfort the Zero's despite the weird shape win for me hands down. I think the shallow depth is part of that. The other reason is these don't have a stupid lip towards the top of the shell that others (Hola and QKZ x HBB, even Waner to a small extent) have. Seriously why do they have this lip? It's like with those ones they have tried to mould the shell to the inside of an ear, and it just doesn't work for me and instead creates a pressure point.
They are very comfortable and easy to fit but walking with them is awful due to the thump. And also the 12k peak measured on the original with the new rig is real. I told y'all.
