Lol the nonsensical English... From my understanding of Chinese I'm betting "Ring-Iron mixed unit" means it's supposed to be a dynamic / BA hybrid IEM though :p

So, where are those initial ebay CKR9LTD sound impressions early comparisons etc., huh??:veryevil:  


They're coming. These have been pretty much the only earphones I've used since I got them(the Macaws got some headtime though), and I have no doubts they're the real deal. On the upside, I'll have more burn-in time on them.

I love the translations. Especially with correspondence with sellers on Aliexpress. They always start with HELLO DEAR:.
 
Makes me feel loved.

I got DUNU 1000, first triple driver hybrid I've heard. I'm sure you guys have all heard them but for me its a first and they are easily the best iem I've ever heard/owned.

I'm disabled so the budget is tight but I snuck these in and man I'm glad i did.....what did you guys think of them, if you in fact heard them?

I think you did good, haven't listened to them for a while, but I did like the DUNU 1K (too much stuff, too little listening time...).

Some of the photos are from the AKG K3003 product catalogue. Just like them, the BA's in these do not use any receiver tube but has a magnified damper in the form of the orange and black filters. Interesting for the price. The pics also show commendable machining.

The Opus 1 looks interesting, that link shows them at $258 currently if my currency converter is accurate.

The Westone Adventure Beta that I ordered at the discounted price arrived just prior to my surgery.  Tested them and then let them burn for over 100 hours.  Finally I am up for some listening and tip rolling.  Held in place I get what they can do but I cannot get them to stay in place.  I have tried every tip in the package plus all other small bore tips, that will fit the skinny long nozzles, in my collection.  Down and over ear.  I generally like over ear wearing style, but these would not stay in place, no seal at all.  Down wearing is somewhat better, however seal will not stay.  Basically they just fall out of my ears.  When held in place with the best fitting tips I could find (light blue pair from ThinkSound Rain 2) I concluded the sound quality did not warrant anymore effort .... Returned.
 
More KZ arrived also and are on burn, some for gifts and some as second pairs (EDSE, ED10, ED9 & ATE).
 
Still loving the Fidue A73.
 
YMMV,

You tried all the silicone STAR tips and Tru fit foam tips?  I would have expected at least foam tips to do the trick, especially if you go with a large size, squeeze/Insert and let them expand to stay put.  Maybe try some Comply foam tips, 100 size?  Another choice, try Shure tips, you can get different sizes of their silicone olive tips at Sweetwater.com,  like this one: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EASFX1-10M

That wasn't my intention, I'm way to laid back to even think that way. I mentioned it because it looks like the currency value is always fluctuating so we may get a shot at an even lower price but it wouldn't surprise me if they shot way up either.
