IMR R1 Zenith B stock in near perfect condition with all original accessories (all tips, filters, 3.5mm cable, 2.5mm balanced cable) I believe it was B stock due to slightly imperfect housings (see images) but otherwise it seems to perform perfectly fine. Purchased in 2019, but almost never...

I used to have these! loved the sound. Unfortunately, the wires always died, usually within warranty so I would get them replaced. Sorry not of much help! but hopefully this helps bump it abit.

Crinacle has a review out here: https://crinacle.com/2021/06/30/sony-wf-1000xm4-review-the-audiophiles-perspective/ Scores decently well!

I got it on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32736006455.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.26724c4dXnPb1t

My favourite is definitely the Sony hybrid tips (Without the foam core). Use them everywhere as the ML size is just perfect for me =)

FLC8N with black / red filters anyone? Granted, red is not very controlled, but there's good rumble

It's a real shame they are not doing well. I have the 8N and really liked it. It did feel at the time that they did not get good marketing out though. I only found about the 8N because I was interested in the 8S. Even then, I could hardly find reviews and it was even harder to find a pair from...

This is amazing actually - thank you for letting me know!!!

Good question.... might have to do more homework here Any thoughts?

Love the speed of the bass on my HF5. Definitely adequate, and so different from most other earphones... the precision and detail overall is definitely breath-taking though

In my shortlist: 1) ThieAudio Oracle or ThieAudio Clairvoyance 2) Moondrop Blessing 2

Anyone in the UK thinking of getting the Oracle? Any advice on what's the best way to get it? I see Amazon might be an option?

You’ll be glad to know they are comfortable. I have FLC 8Ns, etymotic HF3s and FiiO FH1s and the air pods pros are the most comfortable. It’s a somewhat shallow in ear fit and they are super light and decently secure. I’ve slept with them in an airplane before, although the battery life wasn’t...

Not to be a sheep, but consider the Airpods Pro? Crinacle rated them decently. I have them and they are really convenient if you use apple devices. It's a generally inoffensive, neutral-ish signature. Extension on both ends won't impress you if you've had a good pair of wired IEMs, but still not...

Definitely. It also makes getting away from the desk to grab some water, snacks etc. so much easier when paired with a laptop for zoom calls, watching youtube with its crappy audio or watching the odd movie
