Jading by the specs, price & especially the accessories list the FD3 series was surely meant to be a hit? But we rarely see any reviews on it, I wonder why? Surely many people have bought them.

  13. FiiO BTR5

    4.50 star(s)
    Introduction: I think the biggest reason behind this write up is that I myself have spent countless hours on various Facebook audio enthusiast groups, online forums, YouTube channels & even Reddit trying to find out if the Shanling UP4 or Fiio BTR5 will be better for me. Thanks to many users who owned both sharing their opinions I came to the conclusion that UP4 would be ideal for my type of usage, which was mostly budget or mid-range IEM’s not hard to drive headphones or even very expensive IEM’s. But some of my queries went unanswered like the...
  14. Moondrop SSR Super Starship Reference Review

    3.50 star(s)
    Intro: The Super Spaceship Reference (SSR) is a roughly $35 offering from Moondrop, it has a single Beryllium-coated dome + polyurethane suspension ring & a 16Ω output impedance. I specifically got this pair as an alternative to my Final E3000’s as I was using a warm source at the time (Shanling UP4) which led to some muddiness at times with certain tracks on my E3k’s. Auditioning the SSR at a local retail store I observed that this had less muddiness & paired better with my warm source due to its diffuse-field (DF) neutral signature. I was also very...
  15. Final Audio Design E3000

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro: Final E3000 $45 dollar bullet shaped IEM. What makes the E3000 unique is their bullet shaped style housing, while most ChiFi IEM's choose to opt for that over the ear candy shaped shell design, Final keeps it classy by going with this unique bullet shell design which is not only extremely light weight but very comfortable to wear as well! But comfort isn't the only thing that the Final E3000 has going for it, the sound is pretty mesmerizing for it's price range.
