Not a fan of AAA lights or have never EDC’d one but $10 is a steal. There is also a CR123/RCR123 light for $60 that comes with a buck driver good for 1,000 lumens.
If you use them and change regularly they usually are okay, if they sit in an unused light for many months or years they usually leak and get stuck in the light or ruin the light. Try some eneloops.
I highly suggest you skip KZ. I was a big fan of them for years, had KZ everything, their ATE, ZS3, ZS5, ZST, basically I spent over $100 on these crappy headphones, the replaceable cables and BT cables. Just buy some MH755, or MH750. I bought 10x off https://www.ebay.com/sch/rwtf3024/
Trust me, they are way better sounding than any KZ can ever be. They are asymmetrical and the MH755 needs an extender or to be resoldered, but trust me, KZ is flawed these are perfect sounding. That wire on the KZ is noisy as hell too.
Eneloop, Duracell, or Ikea ones. If you use alkaline, you can use an acid like vinegar or lemon juice to clean it up. It is not the end of the world if that happens, it can be fixed. Eneloops and Ikea ones are the same, I think some duracells are nicknamed duraloops because they are the same as well.
Very interested! Does it affect other modes too? How similar is it to the Glaree E03 driver? https://jetplow.org/2018/07/14/glaree-e03-teardown-mini-review/
I’m interested in one of these for hat brim use, so I would get the aluminum, if the discount would apply to it, but the discount only applies to the copper and Ti versions. Lighter weight is better for hat brim use.
Between those two, I’m leaning toward the Ti for the lighter weight, but copper heat sinks so much better.
Are the runtimes and the functionality of the Ti version as good as the copper, or is the copper a much better performer?
After picking the material, then I’d have to chose between the XP G2 R5 and 219 emitters. Since I would actually be using this as a tool to see with it clipped to my hat brim inside my truck topper or under the hood of a vehicle, etc., I’m torn between the high CRI, but low output of the 219 or the low CRI, but much higher output of the XP G2 R5.
The titanium isn’t expected to ship until mid January.
I liked the ES4 as well, but I can promise you the MH750 are much better at bass better than any KZ, the MH755 are also known to be bassy, just less so than MH750. Are you inserting the IEM into your ears enough? I can use the small or the large, but the small ones go deeper, much deeper. The nozzles on the ZS5 ZS6 and ZS7 are the reason I do not recommend them, look at how the bores are smooth. They will simply slip off and you will lose your tips, plus the treble is very shrill and they stuff more drivers into their IEM, but they don't sound better, the KZ ATR is the best bassy one they make IMO. The tips on the MH750 are comfortably large but I am not sure how much larger the other ones are. I measured mine and they are around 12.5mm or 13mm. I don't want to pollute the thread if this is off topic, but I highly recommend them before you make another KZ purchase. I was part of the chifi cult until I got these, and now I no longer need to buy more of the chifi, a chase that never ends because they are never quite enough, the IEM that KZ makes are almost good enough all the time, but never enough. These are $6.60 or $3.30 if you buy 10x of them, and I think they are perfect.
Cool – thanks for all this info & will investigate. I was starting to wonder if the technology production optimization had gotten so good now, that “audio engines” for this tiny form factor are pretty much at the limit, and all these companies are doing is coming up with fancier packaging to seduce people into spending hundreds of dollars for the same technology in lesser earbuds. About 10 years ago, I don’t think this was the case. I have about 5 different earbuds ranging from $10 to $50, purchased over about 5 years or so, last set from 4 years ago. And there are notable differences.
