    Guys there's some kinda wizardly going on here... I literally canNOT take these out of my ears! They have me spell-bound. Everything I'm hearing them play in their burn-in session just sounds stunning. sub-bass hits hard, but doesn't take over the music. I think the mids could use a bit more...

    Final AliExpress haul finally showed up today. two XINHS cables [including the H04 that I got just for the RED SP01 that also arrived today!] Sadly I got the MAROON cable which is darker than I was hoping, so it's not a Great color match for the SP01, but oh well... it's sure a CLASSY cable...

    I have the KZ PR3 and... it's OK. you really need a warmer cable to bring out the bass. [it's rather linear.] I'm WAY more impressed with the Kiwi Ears Aether [but again, lots more $$$ than the PR3.]

    I haven't really gotten into Asian music that much, but found this on the "what are you listening to now?" thread... wow. What a song! First tried it on the YuXuanJi... it was good. clear and precise. But then popped in the XINHS HS80 and holy Nirvana, what an upgrade! Total sonic upgrade in...

    Quick reply and comparison between Wan’er OG and Wan’er 2: [from DCE on cables that I think best fit their differing sound themes.] Wan’er 2 is more DETAILED in the treble than the OG and has (way) better STAGE. OG is more… smooth and organic. At times, I think the OG can be a BIT too...

    Not a bad idea… I generally don’t get out much to social events like that but I should look into it. Yea… so much stuff On AE is simply not even for sale in the USA anymore :/ these tariffs are an inconvenience now but who knows that the long-term results will be. XuanNv needs power and a...

    Giving the XuanNv some love this morning... listening to the stunning selection of soundtracks from Sophie Hunger. [Album: Cinema] Running from the NiceHCK RedAg cable and the DC-Elite. People like to say this set is boring... but in reality, it's very professionally balanced and capable, when...

    I'd probably be better off with the Estrella, but that treble hump at 4K makes me wonder if it is sibilant ?

    looks great! I was waffling between this and the new Simgot one, but opted for the Aether... and I think that was a smart choice. bass is fantastic!!!! and the soundstage is amazing, and it's clear and detailed without being fatiguing. It's like a more refined ZeTianWu, of sorts.

    Went back on Amazon Music to Patricia Barber's oldest album, "A Distortion of Love," and for some reason switched to the TRN Jaws, which I've not used a whole lot yet... WOW... compared to the PR3, the Jaws is a treble-head STAGE NIRVANA. Similar to the ZeTianWu in how it elevates and clarifies...

    Whizzer SS20 tips... the Fan 3 barely fit me right because of the wide nozzle, but strangely, those donut-tips worked well! Listening again to the addictive "Smash" album by Patricia Barber... on the Tangzu Ze Tian Wu... I'm reminded again of how GOOD that planar set is... so incredibly...

    I've never heard any of those suggestions. But I also agree with the H60 and Fan 3 recommendations ... Fan 3's bass isn't the snappiest, but it's certainly organic. I'll add the ivipQ C-09 Phoenixia to the list... maybe not as mellow mids as the Fan 3, but it's a warmish, organic set with GOOD...

    Wow… this sounds like an impressive set. Might be too warm for me but I’d love to try it some time.

    Looked at the AM16 on AE... cheapest price was by that notorious LuckLZ Audio store... $44. they try adding over $60 in additional fees. No way am I paying over 100$ for a $50 item! guess this seals the deal for me... Trump, I heartily thank you for breaking my IEM-purchasing addiction! [LOL]...

    Keep seeing the Soundbrenner Wave IEM ads on Facebook… can get them for $79. They are “dial magnet” DD.. look boring. Probably won’t get them but I’m mildly curious. Marketed toward musicians. Any graphs?
