UNDERATED IEM OF 2020 : NiceHCK NX7 mk III.

It's really cool to once in a while visit this thread and learn about products such as this one, thanks

I'm finding that the MT300, like the TRI i3 and the KBEAR Believe, is another which benefits from amplification. It really opens up with a bit of power. My Topping NX1a sounds excellent with the MT300, there is a real synergy there and the soundstage is holographic. I prefer it to the Fiio A5 which is warmer and sounds more intimate. Strangely it's the opposite with the Believe.

Compared to the also recent launch by Smabat the Black Bat how would you compare the X1 and also the TRIPOWIN TC01. I like vocals but occasionally the bass head comes out

MT300 definitely benefit from extra juice....using both: A55 / NX4 DSD & ZX300a balanced configurations.

TRIPOWIN TC01 don't lack quantity of bass.....imo, for their shell size they're not deficient in any area.

Interesting. At first the Final A4000 was met with a luke warm impressions but now seems to be coming on like gangbusters. Crinnacle certainly part of the luke warm start and then the NM2+ is "underwhelming" as well. Seems, perhaps, talk of their impending demise into the 'meh' realm is premature.

final holds a lot of appeal for many, so not surprised its newest offering is catching on.

I share a similar preference to Crinacle's targeted frequency graph, but I'm MUCH more forgiving about headphones that deviate from it and still find quite a bit of enjoyment from them. He is just one reviewer after all and should be weighted as such. When you can find a headphone that is liked by him and the rest of the prominent reviewers, then you likely have something special in that price bracket but that doesn't guarantee that YOU will like it

I will remain curious about the new Final A-series IEMs, and I bet one day I will pick one of them up. The Final E-series got me back into IEMs for music listening/gaming and while I've explored other brands, I'll always have a special place for Final.

@mochill
Really looking forward to your impressions of the A4000. Please compare them to the E series E4000 and E5000 (I think you own the entire E-suite haha!)

Question for you. Any plans for something like a portable dac amp for IEMs? Reason why I ask is while I am a big fan of your BL. I would love to see you guys do a dedicated one for just IEMs.

This is how i'd describe the KZ DQ6. transparent. clear. wide stage. hard hitting bass that's tight, and excellent detail retrieval.

You're welcome. Just trying to put a little spotlight on some overlooked gems. This is one of them.

The best stuff we have specifically for iEMs is xDSD.
