i had the same dilemna, r1 seems a bit better than trn conch (based on the single tone deaf monk opinion that is the first and only available at the moment of 11.11) but the price difference is large so i grabbed conch with the $15 discount on linsoul so it was $20 not a big risk even if it is bad (i had problem with trn ba5 in the past it was my only iem that failed over the 20 iems i owned so trn is low in my brand trust list) and i'll wait for more reviews before deciding for the r1 (my s12 is built like a tank so letshuoer is high in my brand trust list (artti is a sub-company, no idea why they make unknown sub-companies when the mother brand is well reviewed, unless they want to lower price and service quality without hurting the mother company reputation)

I ended up doing exactly the same, got Conch for $20. Also awaiting more R1 reviews.
Great minds... :wink:

When I owned both the S12 and Z12 for comparison, I did try the S12 in one ear and Z12 in the other. After a short while, it sounded totally cohesive.

yep like 3d movies, one eye see one image the other eye sees another image, our brain mixes both seamlessly into a single perception, no idea why iem hobbyists don't play with that more often

Tested and still working right now. You can get buds like Hzsound Heart Mirror Zero for $15 no tax! Or Linsoul 11.11 'bundle K' + something else for <$20. I'm gonna pass simply because I don't want anymore budget sets, they all add up. Definitely a great deal!

Ihear Audio Store on Aliexpress has some nice prices on some things such as the Mangird Tea2 for $192 plus shipping (other sellers are selling it for around $300) and some iFi portable DACs including the Gryphon which was posted earlier in this thread for an even lower price.

Stack with the coupon codes for maximum savings. May be better to add some extras to reach the next tier of coupons.

Tea2 - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804335448770.html

Gryphon - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804163136534.html

Other stuff sorted by number of orders - https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1102032711/search?SortType=orders_desc
