Got a pair myself. THey are ok. But rarely use em. Better ones on the premises. The AKG N5005 for $160 is way better when you can get it for the sale price and not the $999 price.

I bet they cost more these days.

I should try the KZ with some eq and see. I put some foam tips on them I think I stole from some Shures or Fio.

  not sure about their cans, but no. The N5005 have 4 filters so you can tune it. I have the bass filters in so its a rumble monster. I have fullsized cans that don't sound as good to me. Its amazing. Pretty sure they have the harmon curve. Also I have EQ anyhow so its customizable. Some tracks do need lower treble but its the recording not the iems.

      That link I posted has some used options for $200. Also if you do snag a pair I highly recommend these adaptors if you plan use some other mmcx cables

      Walmart had them as low as $130 but are sold out now. AKG is sold out too. And Harman.com too. I bought mine from AKG directly. Actually it was $160 at the time.
      
      This is the best I have found now:

      Not sure if its just short supply or something new coming out.
