So I got the AS24 and the ZS10 PRO 2, and then the Airpods PRO 2 for my upcoming flight, and thought I was done. Tried and loved them, and keeping them. But nope, not done!! Because of this thread, [the ol' shifting the blame game HAHA] I then proceeded to order the D-fi, ZVX, and TRN Conch to have a showdown of the best cheap single DD... then ordered the Trio because it was super cheap, then ordered the Tangzu Xuan Nv because it's the most heavenly-looking IEM I've seen... [probably gifting it to a friend, but if I like it, I'll buy one for myself as well!] and now I ordered the POLARIS haha to add to my single DD showdown.As I told @activatorfly, due to the excellent/above average (4/5) natural timbre and top end resolution of the CCA Polaris, I'm finding them absolutely engaging and amazing for jazz, instrumental, and swing. It really gets me emotionally involved in the music. Still feeling my way around other genres with mixed results, but nothing terrible, just mixed.
So far, of that list, only the $5 D-fi has arrived and I love the sound and build quality although I personally would like more treble airiness.
