Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite or Aful MagicOne as well.I think that upcoming Dunu x GizAudio DaVinci might just suit all that to a T. A lot of early impressions seem to match up pretty well.

Is Kinera Verdandi better than it's older brother Urd? Both are EST based with similar type of configuration while the more expensive Verdandi has a BCD that does it's job at lower mid bass and sub bass region but is it better? Here is my comparison video review:
For those who doesn't have patience, Urd is a more pleasing IEM, a bit more composed and refined. Thi sounds odd but the calm and composure Urd has is not there with Verdandi. Verdandi's treble is a bit more agitated and feels like it's trying to do a lot of things at once and is all over the place, lacking control and refinement.
For more details, watch the video.

I found the Z1r to be horrible. Very V shaped, wooly bass and bad treble extension with lower and mid treble prominence. Badly tuned IEM which is good for bass heads only.I'm not that particular fan of IER-Z1R especially on how it was tuned. Tested it many times since early 2019. For sure it has a superb technical performance and excellent fitting to my lugholes but its tuning doesn't fit well to my sound profile preference. Somewhat off to me.

Planning to make a longer thread about these in a bit after more listening, but man are the SWEEAR SR-11s a thing of beauty... Apologies for my crap yellow lighting and subpar camera skills.
This brand is way way way slept on compared to other TOTL IEMs. I'm happy about that so I could get a pair of these but these deserve to be seen and heard!!!

Currently have them paired with Baroque Eletech Tips and these flat out sing. I swapped the stock cable for my Hikari Audio Sigure.

Maybe fit problem if you hear bad treble extension and wooly bass. Treble extension and subbass shelf is like its forteI found the Z1r to be horrible. Very V shaped, wooly bass and bad treble extension with lower and mid treble prominence. Badly tuned IEM which is good for bass heads only.

I swear I have seen that shell a couple years ago under a different brand. Am I hallucinating?

Keen eye sir! iKKO OH2 uses the same shell. The QuietSea was made with iKKO's help.I swear I have seen that shell a couple years ago under a different brand. Am I hallucinating?

That one has looked intriguing from the specs, but I did not ready any impressions? Are they in this thread I can search for them.
I prefer a hybrid to a single DD as well so it's perfect in that regard.

100% agree. Even Crinacle had a wacky first impression, where later he found, (as many do) two separate (yet very different) IER-Z1R insertion depths. You can even use two different sizes of ear-tips.Maybe fit problem if you hear bad treble extension and wooly bass. Treble extension and subbass shelf is like its forte
One (bigger ear-tip) on the outside, and one deep (smaller ear-tip)................. creating treble enhancing effects, and stage increasing reality results.
One another note.................

NIghtingale is a beaut! I still enjoy two hours daily on em. wide stage. Takes the harshness out of certain type of metal music as well. Not good for low-end genre, great niche for a particular kind of music. But it sure does something 'unnatural' with the music no?! has a veil (dampening?) that i love. Can't say more as I don't understand these things yet, but something there for sure : - )I had very similar thoughts, my music preference is extremely vocal centric, and the nightingale was a pleasant surprise and with its price point. The temptation was very real

I’d probably pass on this set being sensitive to treble myself but I like that Paul was technical enough with his review to confirm that it works well at lower volume.
First impressions of the AirPods Pro 2… the fit will take some getting used to… not sure how long-term comfort will be… now audiophiles wouldn’t even listen to a headphone until they play stuff through it for 1-2 days haha. Not me! They sound surprisingly good… after a hearing test with an app it customized the sound and it sounds even better… haven’t compared it yet to my KZs but I know it has a more balanced mature sound but still very capable of details in the treble which I like. Bassy enough too.

CCA Hydro review

So far both stated that this is the best CCA they've tried
As Kesobie noted in the price range, while very close in performance to Simgot EM6L and trade blows with Celest Phoenixcalls, apparently it still outperformed by Simgot EA500LM.
