Besides, it is not far expensive than the China brand listed at the bottom of the table. For R19 and above sizes, the pricing gap between PS72 and top brands are even wider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of pricing, Ecsta Sport PS72 is enticing to worth a try. And in terms of performance, it can be seen as even on par with top brands and definitely much better than any other China brands exist in the (HK) market. Noise maybe an issue for PS72. Yet, if you were to choose between China brands such as LingLong vs Kumho PS72, I think it is a no brainer to get a set of PS72 with almost the same pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-medium-font-size\">The evaluation is based on publicly available data and general feedback.
