Trying out the Azla SednaEarfirs Max and I must say, it's actually really interesting. I find it kind of a toss up between the spinfit ATM but not because of them being too similar, but because of how different they are. It actually seems to have the effect of applying a parametric EQ to lower the high frequencies beyond 6K or so. Not in a way that reduces detail, but creates a much more balanced sound because the upper mids can be what people call shouty, even though I do like that aspect.
Examples like this song

Where the guitars have a really nice sheen with the spinfits, it's a lot more controlled with the Azla.
There are some songs where I do prefer the splashier sound, but for anyone who had a problem with the upper mids of the hype 2 (or any other earphone really) should definitely give these tips a try.

Update: I’m using the Cayin RU6 and the mid range is on track. I was using my desktop FIIO MK7 and it was on high gain which is right for headphones but not for efficient IEMs as the Juxears. Makes them sound ‘in the face’ forward. I also have a FIIO Q3 for portable use that also sounds good with them. They can tame an unruly mid range/treble if needed with its selectable filter but it didn’t need it. The RU6 is a very good match for these rascals.

That said: The Juxears are very very satisfying. The bass is round and extended, the mids are now well-balanced and positioned right along with the highs which are just right for my taste. Very musical. What a bargain. Me likey! And to think I bought them on a lark.

Added to my wish list!

Check out my Shanling Sono review. This one caught me by surprise. I normally don't write reviews but this one needs more attention.
tl;dr, Shanling delivers the Legato that I hoped 7Hz would release.

Wow this has really piqued my interest! I don't have a high quality bass head IEM yet.... Would you say they are warm and relaxed treble as well? I'm really in the mood for that right now!!! I've been considering the Tangzu FUDU, 7hz SONUS.... Perhaps the Simgot EM6L....

I'm craving something like Tanya tuning but at the next level up!

FiiO M15S has stolen my heart, I would have loved it if I doesn't have to send this back to my friend. This DAP is highly detailed and crisp sounding while not sounding harsh or fatiguing at all. It is tremendously powerful, to the extent that it can drive most IEMs and Headphones in the market with ease.

Pros:-
Highly Detailed Sound
Doesn't Sound Sharp or Fatiguing.
Mostly Neutral and Transparent Sound
Sound-wise I have no complaints at all
Power-wise it can drive most stuff out there(apart from only a handful of highly demanding headphones)
Considering power and performance, the battery life is quite decent
I like the build quality and the included case
The fan is a good stand for the player

Cons:-
Volume can only be adjusted by either wheel or keys, we can't program both to be useful.
720P display in a 1000$ product in 2023
Doesn't get enough warm to be used with the fan at all, even after hours of usage. My Shanling used to get more warm and hot.
UI is a bit sluggish considering other DAPs available around the price point

Hope you guys enjoy the read!!

Well, it looks like the time has come to get a Neon Pro as I do like the blue with transparent shell the most... rip my wallet

IE200 is more balanced, but lacks the extension or the wideness and tallness of the IE300's stage and imaging picture. IE300 has intrusive mids. IE200 doesn't, but the highs are much more polite, so it gives it a perception of being not as resolving and engaging.
Do you think it´s worth it though compared in value to the IE300? I could get the IE200 for around 80$ used and the IE300 for around 150$ used.

Simgot EA1000 graphs via IEC711 coupler. 8 kHz is a coupler peak.

This IEM has 3 different tuning nozzles to spice up the frequency response.

1 dynamic driver (10mm DMDC) + 1 passive radiator

EDIT:
From brief listening, the EA1000 is a harmanish set, with excellent technicalities for a DD. Good timbre too.
The PR does add a bit of a sub-bass boost in sub-bass predominant tracks, but the bass is still very clean and tight and textured.

So many IEMs, not enough time or money 😩 Jupiter And the Neon Pro look amazing.
