ZIIGAAT CINCOTRES - The Not so Twin Brother

[@Alxtorr77]

My friend don't change your style. You're the best reviewer. The things you do and the way you describe a product (iem) is the correct way to do it. I'm a marketing professional and I understand brands that only wants to reviewers help with sales. But they forgot that the only way to scale as a company is listen what people with audio experience think about their products. Tony you're doing it perfectly.

[@akros9333]

I appreciate that!

[@StarBuccaneers168]

I don't comment often but I appreciate what you do. Your IEM collection is absolutely incredible. Please ignore the toxic people. ❤

[@ToJoseGarcia]

I appreciate your reviews and in depth comparisons. For us ADHD viewers please mark below each iem on the table the name of it.

[@petrpulpytel]

Many thanks for your work Akros, and dont hear the trolls..., your reviews are the the most informative on YT in IEM space... dont understand, that you have only 5k followers, you deserve much much more..

[@fumo1000]

Ignore the haters - they have personal issues. Focus on the good - your content is valuable and appreciated! The way you make your comparisons and shine a light on each IEM's strong points is absolutely essential for the IEM community.

People I was talking the other day with my wife about this exact situation Some people has a dark cloud with them; a genie-temper, they are either unhappy, bored, hyper, under drugs or lonely and they are somehow possessed by that way of thinking and the consequences of their actions is the final result That’s what feeds and feeds from that entity, that energy feeds them And now, that genie-entity needs more of the same energy to feed more of them… As how you react in certain situations is the genie that you going to feed If you react higher than them, swearing, gestures, angry about how they made you feel, then you are a mental person Nobody knows you better than yourself, right Don’t try to let others attach you their genie Let them carry with that temper, is theirs The harder they try the weaker they are You are the one I follow for my next IEM Keep your reviews coming The same way you are doing it That’s how you are It’s your channel

Nobody does a review like you do. You don't only give an incredibly detailed review , but you bring us on an adventure. I've made decisions based on your reviews. Not having at least 50000 subscribers is a great mystery to me. Your reviews are exciting. Thanks for your hard work.

[@SoundNoob-ob6lf]

Don't take those trolls too serious. Every reviewer is entitled to his style. Yes, for some people your reviews might appear as too long, but they are also very in depth. I think most of us appreciate your efforts and your valuable contribution to the community. Keep up your great work and ignore all destructive comments

[@vaguely8426]

You have the most in depth reviews with the most comparisons, you tell us exactly what we should know before spending what we have on iems, I wish more people could know that too, but you've helped many people find iems they're happy with. You also mentioned Sade in 1 of your reviews and I use to listen to her all the time, I hadn't since I got more expensive gear but I'm very grateful for that too because the production and sound of Sades songs are next level when you have equipment good enough to show it, so thank you for that too. Do what you want and do what you love in life, have no regrets. You're my favorite reviewer and its not even close.

[@lb3537]

I have watched many if not most of your reviews…. I also watch many others….You are one of the best and most thorough reviewers in this industry and I strongly value your opinion and love your reviews because you always showcase lesser known models that are also great iems… honestly some of the iems you show for comparisons are very important to the hobby…. Don’t worry about the haters …these people are miserable in every aspect of their life …don’t let it bring you down… honestly when I have an interest in an iem you’re the first I check to see if you reviewed it because I know it’s such a solid baseline….!

[@gibant1]

I consider you the best reveiwer, it's very difficult to keep up with the amount of IEMs out there and all the new releases. You giving comparisons helps not only choose an IEM but also remember other IEMs that I would otherwise have forgottten/not considred. On a side note, I also put your earlier reviews on when I need to drift off to sleep, your dulcet tones seem to be just what I need to fight insomnia. Seriously helps, thank you.

[@taidee]

Some of us come for the long thorough review that you do Akros, we appreciate the comparison because in most cases that is what really tells us how an IEM, the large group of IEM comparison you do does provide a better context that a comparison to just on or two unrelated IEMs. So we appreciate what you do.

[@supertree08]

Bought the cincotres during AliExpress anniversary. Can’t wait for the arrival. Keep up the good review!

[@Sforzabull]

Tony, the way you do reviews is more valuable than any other reviews on KZbin. Don't change a thing! We don't listen to the same music, it doesn't matter, the way you review products gives me insight I don't get anywhere else. I actually get disappointed when I'm interested in a set you haven't reviewed, you sir are the only thing keeping me from having to blindly buy sets. Don't get discouraged, the channel will continue to grow as people realize the extent you go through to bring us honest, insightful reviews. You're never going to please everyone. Thank you for the amazing impact you have on this hobby. FYI, speaking of BGVP not getting the attention it deserves, i just received the DMA yesterday and it is a standout set. Not sure why it isn't hyped and/or reviewed more. Hopefully BGVP is smart enough to send you one soon!

[@akros9333]

I can't thank you enough for the support you show me. I will definitely try to get my hands on the DMA.....you say its good so i trust you.

[@calvinlooi4500]

Thanks for the review and I can relate to your frustration. IMO as long as you're doing your best and constantly trying to improve, just keep going. Those who criticize you with no basis are just jealous that you have so many IEMs. It's not easy to be a content creator so you have my support. I personally appreciate whatever you're doing and will keep watching! Blindly bought the cincotres during the Aliexpress sale, seems like I won't be disappointed!

[@J-Reyez]

Thank you, really appreciate your videos! Keep it up!!

[@infiniteuniverse805]

Keep doing you, Tony. I always look forward to your reviews, especially your tip and cable recs that go along with the IEM you are reviewing...which no one to my knowledge does and can be very helpful (which can help to bring out the true sound of the IEM). Also, what other reviewer buys 3 different of the same set to see/listen/measure if manufacturers do the silent upgrade (or downgrade) to the drivers? No one I know of... You are among the top 3 of my fav audio review channels and the length of your videos is evident in the time you take to actually accurately compare IEM's to others, helping us hobbyists make informed decisions on what to audition for ourselves. Keep up the good work, subscriber for life here... 🎶

[@bri3fcas3]

You're doing great and I can tell you're passionate on this hobby by watching your video. I come to your video to look for opinion other than just technicality and marketing jargon described by other reviews. Feelings on the IEM matters too. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@mauerchisp4814]

I've been watching you since 2022 Akros, I know it's not too much, but I came here to say that your reviews are great, you helped me pick my favorite iems :) Hope you're ok! Now time to watch cincotres vs Variations!

[@gabeplg]

Hey man, just wanted to say you're easily my favorite reviewer on here and I bought the EM6L & the Orchestra Lite almost solely based on your recommendations and comparisons, and I love both of them. As for the views and the subscribers, I reckon your content requires a bit more of an attention span than your average YT review and people these days just can't handle a lengthy, analytical discussion without fancy editing, neon colors or fancy go pro cameras. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[@SileDevil]

Just finished watching the whole review, great great comparisons, cant wait for my Doscinco to arrive.

[@opulentotter8594]

Thank you Akros for the reviews. Two purchases I have been very happy with, mainly relying on your impressions and graphs as they are quite underrated are the Geek Wold GK100 and, coincidentally, the ivipQ V12! Indeed the V12 is quite nice, it is like a more musical Orchestra Lite. GK100 I applied a 500 mesh on nozzle and wowweee the level of articulation and detail still shines. Appreciate your contributions and efforts. I have given nearly all reviewers their fair listen, very few do I feel are competent and unbiased enough to subscribe to. You can bet I am subscribed to Akros!

[@akros9333]

Thank you for the support. Yes those sets are both pretty impressive and very underrated. The GK100 with the mod you did or then with a medium density foam inserted into the tip, becomes simply unreal. Very good technical abilities while maintaining a high degree of musical correctness and engagement.

[@jorgeh4591]

Tony, long time fan here. Keep doing your thing! You've addressed this similar discourse in a video not too long ago and since then have only increased your credibility and following as a trustworthy reviewer. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this for the community. Now only my question, I know your reviews tend to compare the particular IEM to others in a similar price bracket or configuration. I'm interested in seeing others throw into the mix, either lower and/or higher priced IEMs that are similarly popular. In this case, I'm curious on your thoughts regarding the Cincotres vs the recent offerings from Meyer Audio. Is it worth the price difference? Thanks again... cheers !

[@JohnClarkW]

I loved the Doscinco and would probably enjoy this one. I do think the comparisons are very useful, and thank you for that Tony. Your reviews are very informative, and expose me to more of AE brands ( I tend to buy on Linsoul most of the time ). Zeos is a shill, but an entertaining shill.

[@calvinyip364]

Tbh i like your reviews. That compare and long . And you make alot of good points. Dont understand why is there any criticism. Keep up the good work. Dont care the haters

[@Cujobob]

Zeos’ channel is really just entertainment, it’s hype and comedy, all presentation, but you don’t find a lot real help there. There’s nothing wrong with just having fun with it, but he’s doing something completely different. I appreciate your reviews, I’ve probably watched all of them in the last year or so. Time stamps, even maybe just pointing to the conclusion or a relevant part, would probably be good for those people who don’t want all of the detail. In the speaker review realm, cheapaudioman has a ton of viewers whereas Erin’s Audio Corner (a much more detailed reviewer) will probably never reach that subscriber count. The casual person likes to be pandered to. Keeping a camera focused on a single spot and then putting the product you’re speaking about directly in focus closer up might be one way you can add a bit of pop to your videos, as well. When you’re zoomed out, I think it contributes to the whole casual conversation aspect, but a lot of people just want close ups.

[@lucuschen9911]

Hi, how do these sets like the Zigaats and hype 4 compare to the softears RSV in terms of details and textures? I also have the hype 2 and looking for an RSV with more sub and bass. It can be less resolving or similar. Is there anything that you can recommend? I will like if it can keep the same mids as the RSV and just more bass and very slightly more treble.

[@brunis_m]

You make the best and most thorough reviews by far. But if you want number of followers, for better or for worse there’s a formula that you kind of need to follow due to people’s limited attention span: 10 min video with intro > concise review > comparisons > conclusion. And editing does count. That’s not just for IEMs, but really any reviewers out there.

[@brunis_m]

Also, people are very drawn to “best IEMs for each price range” or “the new king of bass” and things of the sort. These get the most views of all if you look closely. I don’t necessarily think you should change your style because like I said you do a much more thorough job. But these are just ideas you could experiment with to get to more people

[@opulentotter8594]

Good comments. As much as he already does, perhaps in addition to the regular style of comparison reviews, he could do some shorter "Top 5, Best Budget Basshead, Company Tier List" kind of "clickbait" videos for more engagement in the algorithms.

[@opulentotter8594]

Very true. Akros re-iterates it often because it needs to be said, people need to make their own decision in a very competitive market. Reviewer like Akros provides his honest opinion, helps narrow the field with comparisons, but leaves the choice up to you. Some thought and self-reflection is necessary, such an insane idea! This is the way.
