@Gee Simpson . i found my old apple dongle and listened to the MT300 straight from my phone, and man oh man, they definitely don't need an amp. Very good staging and the imaging is just as strong, the bass is very very good, hitting hard and punchy while listening to Marley. I wish i could find my upgrade dongle, but that's currently M.I.A., so the original will have to do. The highs aren't quite as extended, but the detail retrieval is definitely there, the mids are just as present, and the because the highs are a little more withdrawn, there a bit more warmth than out of my R5, X3, or A45.

Yeah for marketing purposes, driver count and material is an easier, sexier sell. Im just thinking of the old bose wave radio that sounded larger than it was due to the acoustic tunnels the sound travelled through. Wondering if some more of that can be explored. The Final E5000 has an interesting chamber design that does make it sound pretty darn large.
Smabat have their Maze system which is like a transmission line speaker. It's in their earbuds and the NCO IEM.

Nice! 🙂 Looking forward to receiving mine and also the spiral dot tips that should improve my other IEM's too.

MissAudio has been around for a couple years, and good ratings, so at this price, i'd act quickly.
Yup, I agree to the Miss Audio store. They are legit. Bought my first set of KZ ZS10 PRO from them, and another set of the same a few months later, to give away as a Christmas gift. Also bought a couple of earphone cases from them to. Only bummer about dealing with them currently, is that they don't offer free Aliexpress shipping with tracking to me here in Canada anymore. Other sellers offer this, so imo Miss Audio store is sliding down my list of preferred sellers.

In my case the first week was pretty uncomfy, but their eartip softens up quite fast after 1-2 weeks and the biggest flange silicone kinda molded to my ear's shape, so nowadays it's rather comfy to me.

I guess your culprit was the 3-flange design, people with shorter canals have a bad time with them. Although, the 2-flange design should be way less 'violator'. At least people struggling to fit a blon will love it outright. :D
Ohhhh ya! I love me a nice long nozzle like that! 😜

My first impression of Moondrop SSP are just fine. Typical V shape IEMs with upper midrange emphasis, that provide balanced sound signature and fatiguing free listening. Personally I think the SSP is kinda lost between musical and technical. Because for its price range there are few fun sets that stand out, and SSP are not particularly good at technical performance, same as its timbre. Well, is still the good set of you looking for balance V shape IEMs with Harman- ish upper midrange. For me, just not thing really stand out. I will update more thoughts when I A/B to other sets for its price range.

My first impression of Kbear Lark are pretty good. The tonality are excellent and it is hard to find this kind of mature tonality for its price range. The Lark are clean sounding IEM, that has neutral-bright tonality with good amount of warm and fullness so it doesn’t sound overly lean or boring. The details retrieval and clarity are great, soundstage are open and wider than deeper. The only problems of Lark is the upper midrange to treble’s timbre, I don’t know why there are no one mentioned this, but it has really obvious BA-ish timbre for upper midrange to treble. I don’t know if it is single cases or faulty units, anyway, I will confirmed it with Kbear.

Hi friend, different strokes for different folks, it may because listening sense varies. :joy: :joy: :joy:

Probably I don’t have much experiences with the IEMs for this price range, and I give the high expectation to it, Anyway, great set for its price range, totally impressed by its tonality.

I agree with you. It's to make decisions. Like with the MT300, a couple reviewers said it had conherency issues. Mine has not had that issue, and has passed the coherency tests (The Who - Eminence Front, Dino - I Like It, Absu - A Shield With A Face) with flying colors. They also said it was on the bright side. Nope. It's very balanced, with extended and natural highs. Not bright or treble leaning. The bass is very articulate and authoritative. Had I listened to those reviews, i wouldn't have gotten such an awesome earphone, But the MT100 got enough positive reviews that I took a shot at the MT300 and WINNER WINNER chicken dinner!
Are you still enthusiastic two weeks later?
