    CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

    Hello, It's been 200 posts since I've been here. Has there been anything new worthwhile? I enjoy my ibasso IT01 and CCA C12 . I use the Kbear that was hyped but it is too mudldle for music although tonality is ok. Anything that merges the CCA C12 seperation with the IT01's tonality? That would...

    Thank you Wendy! It would be nice to have some sort of identification when changing versions in the future, even if it is just a piece of paper. It would help people to compare what they hear. I would also recommend a different range of tips in the package, as the accessories came with the same...

    Hello, I bought the Lark on 11.11 from the official store, and surprisingly just received it (fastest 11.11 shipment I've experienced!). How do I tell if it is the RETUNED version? I can't find that information anywhere, except one person saying there are no WHITE eartips in the RETUNED...

    That's good to know. For me C12 lacked a bit of timber, especially in the bass area. All considered, a good purchase. LARK seems a bit of a gamble.. Will see! I don't really care about the number of drivers, as my best performer is a single DD.

    I bought the KBEAR LARK, as a very spontaneous buy! Had coupons for another deal and decided to place the savings on some IEMs.. My best cheap ones are the CA C12, which have held up. The newer Ibasso IT00 did peak my interest after the wholesome IT01, so this KBEAR purchase is a gamble...

    CCA in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    Just to give some credit to the C12. I've been treating these as beaters and they are still going strong....Cable tangles but that's a general KZ/CCA problem. Sound is clear and spacious, although I only have the ibasso IT100 to compare. I would recommended the C12 to anyone as its a quality...

    I dont get why so many throw spinfits on iems. They work well for bass shy ones and, in general, are rarely used in my collection (on vivo x800 theyre great). For c12 and blon 03 i found the spinfits (signle and double flange) to increase midbass bleed and decreased seperation and soundstage...

    I was surprised by the size of the box and of the IEMs themselves when I received the C12. THEY ARE TINY! On videos and pics they appear huge, but not as large as the ZSX. I skipped those because I feared they wouldn't fit. It turns out, I was strongly mistaken. The C12 are anyway, the most...

    I like "wobbly bass" on the blon for stringy bass :) But added seperation and clarity of the C12 is great for philip grass, michel jarre, orchestral type tracks. Sound stage does seem deeper on the blon. I will probably get another blon as it has something that is special and more of a rarity...

    Received CCA C12 and blon bl03 amongst other aliexpress goodies :) They were really fast this year...sales not that big for IEMs though. Quick impressions is that low budget is definitely on another level since only 2 years ago. Too early for proper impressions, but so far C12 and blons complete...

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    Ear guides removed using tiny scissors, on the blon's stock cable (my nails hurt...15 min of pain) and the KZ silver/copper one (takes 30 seconds due to the soft plastic: small incision, and pull! eassssyy!). Definitely worth it as the Blons do well worn-down, but with the tips I am using...

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    Blon stock cables fit fine in my case, and I used some tips similar to KZ whirlwinds/turbos in shape (but on the softer side). Perfect seal, although bass is really strong if the vent is blocked by a tight seal. I will be wearing these cable down as soon as I get my cables. A quick test does...

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    The stock tip that was on the blon are long and thin, which will mostly create a seal for people who use S size tips. They are out of the ordinary is what I meant. They could have fitted a larger size tip which would correspond to the norm in terms of diameter, and have the length for a deep...
