EPZ Q1 Pro Review

[@UFO-Audio]

I own the Q1 Pro and the Nuo and I really like both of them. I find the nuances between sets are what makes this hobby fun and keeps it interesting. There is an old saying that " one man's trash is another man's treasure" and that certainly is the case with iem's. It's completely ok if someone doesn't like an iem that I like and vice versa. I personally find the Q1 Pro to be a great value at roughly $30.00 dollars U.S. but they won't be for everyone. If and that is a BIG IF - you like the original 7hz Zero sound signature then the Q1 Pro is in my opinion a direct upgrade. If however you like a fuller sound that still has good treble then the Nuo's would suit you better. I enjoy them both for what they present individually. YMMV! God bless and @ Prime - Keep up the great reviews!

It is a very nice-looking set. I'm adding them to my list. Awesome review!

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Cool, thanks!

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

David, thank you for another wonderful earphone review! 👌

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@marksr12]

Enjoyed your review as always, thanks! I don't have the Nuo, but I would agree with your conclusion. I however am glad to have the less colored IEM's in my collection.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@pancedimitrieski3759]

YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT DUDE.

[@DarthThrash]

I bought the Kefine Delci after watching your review, I should get them soon.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Good choice!

[@realAkib.22]

Aoshida e20 or Epz q1 pro for soundstage and imaging?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

If you're asking for gaming, the Epz Q1. E20 is better for music IMO.

[@wanaboed]

You used to love Tin HiFi C3 for under $50 set. So how's the C3 compared to Q1 Pro?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

The C3 is a good one. It has more bass punch and midrange fullness, whereas Q1 Pro mids are dry and bass lacks depth.

[@wanaboed]

@@PrimeAudioReviews in other words, you still recommend C3 along with Ziigaat Nuo, Kiwiears Cadenza, and Simgot EW200?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

@wanaboed yes, especially now because it's only $37 on AE.

[@IcyyX_]

​@@wanaboedwhich do you recommend for an all rounder first iem purchase?

[@wanaboed]

@@IcyyX_ for an under $50 set? Probably Tin C3. The fit is really good for most people and the sound quality is passable for the price

[@r7anubis758]

EPZ Q1 Pro VS KZ ZSN Pro 2?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Zsn pro 2 is more engaging and balanced

[@r7anubis758]

@@PrimeAudioReviews I got the Q1 Pro in a giveaway. Thinking if I should use it, if I have a reason to, over my ZSN Pro 2, or if I should sell it and get an upgrade to my ZSN Pro 2?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

@r7anubis758 preferably go for the ZS10 Pro 2 .

[@abdullah_12_12]

I did not like the sound of the Kefine Delci. It is unbalanced. The sound of an explosion is louder than words. I want an upgrade. The sound is very balanced without any difference in sound and free of sibilance. It is comfortable for listening to music, KZbin, movies, $100 or less.

[@-E-M-M-]

the spike at 6 and 11k just kills me I can't use them

[@k.w5804]

For $30 I’d just get the kinera celest wyvern abyss, just for the looks alone lol.😂

[@Anonymous-gh6xf]

@@k.w5804 This has the better "dual magnetic" driver tho same as the one in Ew200

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Yeah, the Abyss is pretty nice.

[@k.w5804]

@@Anonymous-gh6xf see my other comments. Single DD at that price range all have the same tech to me, difference is the tuning and its benefits and drawbacks associated with it. It’s good set and looks good too (reason why I bought it and gifted to a friend of mine later). I only have the wyvern now so all that was from my memory a couple months ago. For $30 you can’t go wrong with either tbh. They are a bit different but close enough.

[@Helmond2017]

Abyss sounds pretty good if lower treble and upper mids are eq'd. It's a bit shouty ootb.

[@seaneckhart9914]

This is the only review that doesnt shill for this IEM. Its the worst IEM in my collection by far. Anything higher than 60% volume is super shouty and unlistenable

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Driest lower mids ever 😁

[@wahid-lg1kk]

Lucky I was warned about this, and got the Kinera Wyvern Abyss instead, not good at low volumes, but outstanding at high volume with high power.

[@udaykadam5455]

​​@@wahid-lg1kk how does it compare with the cadenza? In terms of technicalities and overall sound quality?

[@wahid-lg1kk]

@@udaykadam5455 I haven't heard Cadenza, sorry.

[@Anonymous-gh6xf]

Bro this IEM reviewers are absolute bs. Some call EPZ Q1 Pro THE BEST under $50 out performing EW200 then this guy calls it the worst.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Enjoy your q1 pro. 😄

[@Anonymous-gh6xf]

@@PrimeAudioReviews That's the point. I haven't even bought it yet.

[@k.w5804]

@@Anonymous-gh6xfI mean his opinion is kinda consistent with mine and a few others such as Jaytiss.. Q1 Pro ain’t bad but if you think EW200 is lean and bright lacking bass, Q1 pro is another notch down on the base and even brighter and thinner to my ears, with slightly worse stage and resolution. I have also the wyvern abyss and honestly I would even pick wyvern over q1 pro for its look and slightly more bass. Q1 pro is advertised as “gaming” iem and I’m not surprised and honestly expected that lean bright sound signature.

[@fakeklg]

Opinions, eh? Interesting how that works.

[@dennisalarcon9175]

When two reviewers review an iem with different eartips, they are reviewing two different sounding iems, even if the changes are slight

[@ahraziqbal9]

Hello Sir I need a suggestion I'm currently using Moondrop SSR(my first IEM) which I love though I've heard some find it to be shouty or on the brighter side. Which means I'm not sensitive to peaky treble or mids. Now I'm planning to get a new IEM which is good at detail retrieval and is transparent sounding. I won't mind if it's bright or warm sounding as long as I get great details for the price alongside being transparent sounding. I've read reviews of Etymotic ER2SE is somewhat similar to what I'm looking for but it's way over my budget. I want to get a set at the minimum price possible. The max I can stretch my budget is 70-90$. I have two options in my mind considering detail retrieval in that price range, first the Simgot EA500lm but I've heard these are coloured and not transparent at all(which is why I'm hesitant to go for it) second is the Truthear Hexa which is relatively transparent and warm relaxed sounding but has good detail retrieval for its price. There's another IEM that I have my eye on is the Tanchjim 4u which isn't available in my country(India) through a retailer as of now. I'm not sure if I should wait for it yo arrive or go for any other alternative. I could even go for anything between the Truthear GATE or Tangzu Wan'er Studio Edition if they're somewhat transparent sounding with good detail retrieval and offer excellent value 'cause all I want is a natural sounding transparent IEM with great detail retrieval for its price (be it brightly tuned or on the warmer side). and I'm not an audiophile I just listen to classical genre and qawwali sometimes. Please suggest me an IEM considering everything I've described above. Thanks in advance. P.s. - I don't mind if there's not enough base to make it sound balanced.
