NiceHCK has released some new cables (business as usual).
But one is the SilkCyan upgrade cable from the F1 Pro, that can now be bought seperately.
So if you bought the F1 Pro without it and want to upgrade - you now can!
The other one is the OurOasis which looks very nice imho.
SilkCyan (Silver Plated Annealing Copper + Tricolor Copper Mixed ~ 47USD): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006890925146.html
OurOasis (Furukawa Copper + 6N OFC ~ 77 USD): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006866990399.html

i was planning to buy something in that 80~120 price range.
as i currently avoid 1DD ( i want something different) and avoiding something potentially sibilant, hydro was on my sight.
EA500LM seems to be interesting but yeah 1DD...
Singaravelan
1000+ Head-Fier
The new Aful Explorer should also be in that price range - probably 110 usd... So please to wait!
Definitely excited for hydro. I’ll post some quick impressions to this thread when it shows up.

Speaking ABX Test is this legit? I discovered this while browsing through Reddit, so I decided to check it out. I only did the shortest test because I'm too lazy, but even with that, I still got bored listening and didn't really vibe with the last track, which is probably the reason why I got a low score on it lol.
I think it depends on the track as well. Some are easier to distinguish than others.
Tbh, besides Spotify sound pretty yucky somehow, I don’t really fuss over mp3 vs red book vs hi-res. Who knows whether the microphone being used was good enough to record upper frequencies or not

Lee of Elysian does not need influencer collab to teach him how to tune.
He teaches them how to tune.
What gap do you try to fill in your collection?
Another wonderful late night listen with the SIE made my sleep so much sweeter. Do you guys fall asleep with IEMs in ears?
TANGZU Wan'er S.G for ~ 16.50 USD (Edit: sometimes also for less than 8 USD if you can wait 
crazy price anyway)

I'm still browsing,
but so far i want a bit vocal forward with decent thickness for rock song.
Good impactful bass but controlled and didn't bleed or smear other segment.
Treble with decent resolution but primarly not sibilant.
I had to mod Aria by opening the metal vent to get more satisfying bass.
Trio is nice but a bit unbalanced with vocal amount, i have to turn the volume up just to get the same sound presence with PR2 or Aria. by the time i got decent vocal presence, the bass while not overbearing, its up there.
thats why Hydro with seemingly better quality bass but FR shows lower amount of bass, seems interesting to me.
but at $120... KZ/CCA...

I think you are describing EA1000 in Harman tuning: forward vocal, treble behind vocal, tight bass with good texture (though I want a bit more midbass). But I guess you have already excluded this IEM.
If you wait for a few weeks, I should have the Aful explorer to share some thoughts. Might be worth a consideration.

Oooh nice.
I have spent a bit much on budget iems recently. constantly mildly upgrade things.
Thats why i want to spent a bit on 80-120, to shut the thirst for awhile
