Sometimes I imagine there's this dude, the head of the KZ research department. He is the legendary, the omega, the final boss, and every new model of IEM must pass his trial before beginning their journey into the real world. The problem is that he's 99 years old.

Wow. Thanks for the info that you bought 3 units and all three came with different tuning. My general experience with KZ in that generally are too bright. Thanks.

One thing I have to say about KZ...their AZ09 Pro and CCA BTX bluetooth earhooks are fantastic accessories that I have become married to. I modded two sets for use with standard (B) 2 pin IEM's like the S12, HEXA, Olina (modded), Tin HiFi T3, Heart Mirror (modded). I kept two other sets in standard C-pin configuration for use with the PR1 HiFi, CCA CRA, TKZK Wave, Tangzu Wan ER. Love these earhooks...essentially the same except the BTX have a snugger fit...for those times when I prefer the extra security away from home.

I think most of the planar iems probably have the same issue, which is the common issue for planar driver. So do I bought S12 three times. Have you tried other brand planar more than 3 pcs for same models?

Yes I have ....six S12... all perfect Two for most of the others I have and all measured fine. This PR3 and TRN MT4 where the worst offenders I have ever seen. Channel inbalance of max 3db and minor deviations in the above 8k area are acceptable. I prefer 1db of inbalance.

Great review , as always. No more KZ for me, i tried them in the past, but it wasn't the sound i was looking for. Out of curiosity , i remember that in a precedent review you mention that you are a professional bodybuilder ... which earphones , headphones do you use , if any , while training? (i'm still searching for sweat proof , good sounding earphone) Thank U

Its interesting because my pr3 is much louder than my pr2, its just hair quiter than my p1max. So in my case it goes p1max, pr3, pr2 with the pr2 being 50% more quiet than the p1max. Isnt it because of that upgrade cable u are using?

One little suggestion : since your videos are long people might tend to listen than watch. So when you say 'this' refering to an iem people listening dont know what iems you are reffering to. Plus you change cables and iems shell is downwards.. so its hard to say what iem u r talking about.. so please mention iem name (you do though but do more) if its okay..thankz for videos..

Well I am in the "very limited group" you mentioned because I think Stellaris/S12 are among the best planars. They are used mainly for playing highly technical rock (prog) and I feel people who love those genres would not necessarily love pr3 because the quality control issue. Ultimately the PR3 tries to be a cheap alternative to s12 but reaches the limit of KZ's budget.
@TrevorHarris-ek9hf

That is a realistic point we have to realize, PR3 will come out when someone talk about budget and ask for what the best steal is... and the price is lower a lot...I mean nothing is that perfect performance, sounds nice, wid stagee, and nice price finally lol...

This is the first time since I've been watching your reviews where I'm not going to leave a thumbs-up and will leave critical commentary. In my opinion, an IEM where you experienced a ⅔ failure rate due to QA/QC issues should not be recommended even with major caveats. It should be a pass for everyone due to poor QA/QC and that should be clearly stated (again, in my opinion). Besides this one, I always enjoy your reviews and appreciate your guidance.
