to be honest, as a producer, I'd be a lot more interested in such a device than in a CD player, as cassette player produce an imperfect and saturated sound which can gives interesting results on some tracks, but also as a producer, I already own a bunch of VSTs that does the same thing for me :D...

and it wasn't even on their projected release schedule. It might just be a FF3 with detachable cable, but that would be enough for me to get it.

has some people already mentioned, it's not a "real" planar, but otherwise, if you like that kind of tuning, it is pretty good: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/kinera-celest-pandamon.26255/reviews

oh yeah, I got them because I wanted a fun set to listen to some specific tracks, and for that, it's great, I'm just curious about how 7hz would go with another tuning, and if it could be another fun one for other kinds of tracks :D

That looks really nice! I bought the original version during the latest sales. Not too interested in buying a new pair just for the looks, but I might be interested if it's retuned.

it apparently has a socket for a IEM made for it, I guess we'll see more soon. The official website upgraded the product page with a few more details, but it is barebones, compared to the 5K page right now.

yep, it's supposed to be a desktop device.

ha that's interesting. Stax trying their hands at an electrostatic IEM, I guess. That's their brand after all, and the connector looks like it's meant to be used with their Energizer units

defintely this, I've only used it with a balanced cable and either using a Fiio KA5 set to hi gain or a Venture Electronics Megatron and it does sound good through those, but it sure is awfully hungry

yeah it sure looks like it's just a cable "upgrade". I'd rather have a detachable cable version :D

I got the exact same answer from another shop I ordered the Reecho SG-03s from, a few months back, so I'm pretty sure it's some kind of generic answer provided by AliX, and it sure is lacking.

Thank you for your answer! Guess I'll wait a bit to see if there are more opinions about the SIE, before deciding if I should get those or the Legato

That's interesting! I'm currently on the fence about buying a 7hz Legato, as I'm looking for something that is bassy with a good analogue feel. Have you had the chance to compare the SIE and the Legato ? I get that the Legato might be a bith more niche, regarding its tuning, so if the SIE has...

I'm kinda curious about this one. I got into IEMs only recently, and it was already "old news" at the time, so never got around getting the BL03, even out of curiosity. But this one does look interesting. I guess I'll wait until we have more opinions about it.

that's what I like to hear! Thank you!

sounds perfect to listen to some Primus :D

interesting! Waiting to see comparison of the Legato and Rinko, as it seems to also be a bit of a bass cannon, and I'm currently looking for one.

ok so the options are basically if you want the cable with it or not, thanks for the clarification. Well it's on the wishlist, I might get those in a few weeks.

Also haven't posted here in a while, but I had to reduce my budget, due to my phone dying on me, so I had to buy a new one. Couldn't wait until I would have enough to get a pair of Fiio FF5, so I ended up getting the Toneking TO180, which also was recommended to me, and I'm pretty happy with those!

oh those looks nice! I'm a bit puzzled at the different options and why some are pricier, as there are little to no explanations on the page. To me it looks like the two options on the left are just the earbuds and the two options on the right are the earbuds + cables ? The default pictures...

well the TA3 also comes with a modular cable and a much more complex faceplate, so I guess that also could be some of the reasons. Good eye about the MT4, I didn't catch that!

yeah that had me raising an eyebrow, too. My guess is that whereas the TA3 has electronic crossover and passive dampening, the MT4 only has the later. So the signatures are quite similar, but the TA3 is potentially more refined.
