I noticed that you have the FIR Kr5 in addition to the Advar. I've been curious about the Kr5 for a while now so was wondering if you could compare them to the Advar? Would be interesting to hear how the Advar stacks up to a $3k IEM.

Damn, a meet finally happened in Pittsburgh right after I moved to Maryland (temporarily). Don't think I'll be able to make it :(

Does anyone know if the Amazon seller Natural Green Products is selling these legitimately? It's the same Amazon page that FiiO was selling from but it doesn't seem to be available from FiiO anymore: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JB8QBD5

Hmm, sounds like I'm not missing out on anything if I already have the Rai Penta.

I have the Rai Penta but still interested in these. Would love to hear more comparisons if anyone has both!

Could you perhaps compare the sound from the UTWS3 to the BTR3K? I would expect the BTR3K to sound better but I'm wondering whether or not the difference in sound quality is too big of a tradeoff for the convenience factor. I would be using them with the Meze Rai Penta btw.

Which codecs does this support? In particular, does it support aptX LL?

Have you tried it with one of the USB 2.0 ports while the Switch is docked? This was going to be one of my main uses for it so I'm going to have to pass on this if it still doesn't work.

I'm surprised to hear about all of these issues with wear. I've been taking mine out with me regularly for the past month and there hasn't been any signs of wear at all.

My week with the Cobalt has come to an end so here is my impressions post. Hopefully it will be helpful for those who are considering purchasing the Cobalt! I want to preface this impressions post with the fact that I was very busy with work this past week so most of the time that I was...

This driver design seems really well thought out! With how well received the ES100 was, I'm excited to see more of the same from the HE100!

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out!

Thanks for your feedback! I was more wondering how the ES100 compared to those other DACS when it is plugged in as a USB DAC instead of using Bluetooth. I want to use it mainly as a wired DAC with the flexibility of using Bluetooth when needed.

I've been needing a new portable DAC and was looking into the ES100 because of all of its extra functionality. Is anyone able to compare the sound quality when used as a USB DAC to others like the Dragonfly Red or Cobalt? Would only be using this for IEMs.

All of these new impressions confirm for me that the B3 seem to be a successor of the Heaven VII sound. The only real issue I had with the Heaven VII was the lack of sub bass extension. Everything else was amazing.

Yeah no problem! Hmm, it sounds like you would really like the Heaven VII. Descriptions of the B3 sound mighty close to how I heard the Heaven VII so maybe go for that since it has the removable cable too.

Well it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a bit of that Final magic in a relatively balanced IEM, then I'd say it's worth it, especially if the price is good. Wouldn't recommend if you like thumping bass since it's a single BA obviously. Take this with a grain of salt...

If you put it that way... Well I mean I already dropped $1099 on these so what's $25 more at this point right?

Could you elaborate on why they sound more true to life than the stock tips? Like does it sound more open? Wider soundstage? Any details would be much appreciated, since I've never dropped $25 on just eartips haha.

I'd be very interested in a comparison too. I've been a huge Final fan for years now, with the Heaven V being the first pair of headphones or IEMs that really wowed me. Eventually upgraded to the Heaven VII as my daily driver, which I absolutely loved, until they stopped working about 6 months...

HiFlight, I was wondering if you would be able to share the differences between the regular stock tips (any of the 4 sizes) vs the Spiral Dot ++? I was considering ordering some off Amazon JP but wanted to know what kind of sonic differences to expect and if it would be worth it. Thanks in advanced!

My Rai Penta finally arrived (after delivery issues with Fedex ugh)! Just wondering which of the stock tips people found to be the best? There's so many options so I'm just trying them all at the moment. These sound so amazing right out of the box though! Really looking forward to getting a...

How do they compare to the LX? I should be getting mine in by Wednesday and I can't wait!

Ah, well I think I'll still take a leap of faith on the RP based on all the good things I've heard and Meze's track record. Want to get the Empyrean eventually but open-back cans just don't suit my current living situation. It's cool! Would be interested in hearing some in-depth comparisons...

Well I wouldn't expect the soundstage to come anywhere close on the RP considering it's an IEM haha. But the FR and tonal balance seems to be similar if I'm understanding correctly? Comfort, build quality, and design are all very important to me so that's great to hear!
