Impressive but needs power

Well after listening to these for about a week, i am really impressed by its performance. I dont really have much experienced so i'll try my best to give a good initial impression of the P1s. Unboxing, It comes in a really nice box .( unfortunately, shipping wasnt gentle with it) The P1s are nicely presented ,in place. The cable though, looks and feels abit like dried ramen noodles, behaves like it as well. First off, these NEED power, i initially plugged it straight into my v30 with a 80 ohm adapter to kick it into high impedence mode. It sounded OK but underwhelming compared to plugging it into my B4x. Fit, When i stuck them into my ears initially,they sounded really muffled until i got them sitting right in which, sound improved dramaticly. These are really small and fit in my ears really well and are really comfortable and i dont really feel them in my ears which is quite nice Sound As i said earlier, they need POWER. They needed atleast 12'O clock on the B4x ( non balanced port since im using stock cables), which is almost as much as my HE4xx, my other everyday iems such as KZSZS10 pro only required 8'O clock before my ears scream at me to stop. The detail retrival works wonders. Listening to some smooth jazz, u can really feel the texture of sound, Listening to some Euphonium Solos, these sounded really warm and sweet, really brings out the sound of a euphonium. These have the perfect amount of bass for me and they sound very nicely balanced and smooth across the frequencies. Vocals sound natural and especially on female vocals, it brings out the sweetness. Imaging is really good and i could easily feel the directions in which the sound comes from. Soundstage has really good depth but dont sound wide, more on the intimate side. I used my LG V30 with and without a 80 ohm adapter to kick it into high impedence mode and they both sounded okay. When i plugged it into my portable amps, the bass gets more pronounced and i could hear more resolution within the bass and the treble, In the trebles section especially, when listening to vocals and especially violins, you could really feel the texture of the sound produced, my best analogy would be comparing feeling the surface of sand paper versus a rock or brick With an amp, you can tell so much more detail like the inconsistencies of sound of vocals or instruments (like a rock or brick) versus the general texture of sound (like sand paper) Even so plugging into a phone (LG V30) would have enough volume, though the P1s are not at their full potential. They really open up and shine with more current running through them. Either ways, with or without amp, the sound signature would stay almost the same and there wouldn't really be much change in how they sound except for the improvement in the resolution. Overall, i really like the P1s and imo they are really above their price point. These are just my opinions and sound is subjective so people may not feel the same, especially about the quantity of bass.

Hewnrai_74How does the Tin p1 compare to your zs10pro? Is it really worth it?

PandarrenU cant really compare them though, their sound profile is quite different. The KZ has emphasis in the bass and the upper midrange,lower treble area. The ZS10pros are a little recessed in the lower mids. If you are comparing against detail retrival, then the P1s out right destroys the zs10pros in that regard. Price to performance ratio, both are really good, both hit above where they are priced at. For me, i was looking for something that is detailed and similar neutral in which, the P1s are very worth it for me but they did require amplification to sound their best so some people may think its not worth it because of that. I have a JDS Labs C5 which i bring around with me all the time so portability isnt an issue for me.
