Looks like TRN looked at the forgotten colorful world IEMs by Fearless (Barcelona, Provence and Shangri-La) and thought decorating the DD was a cute marketing gimmick. But TRN's accessory game is no gimmick, it's the best I've seen for the coin and unmatched, it's shame their tuning is subpar...

I've always wanted to own a Softears Twilight because the FR is something I'd probably really enjoy but at $930, it's a no from me. Maybe I'll try classifieds one day, I've seen them go for around $550 on average.

The Starfield and JD7 are a tie for me but Starfield won points for nostalgia. Zero Red is very solid but I prefer a less distinct bass shelf which seems to be uncommon among audiophiles. The Volume sounded really bright to me for some reason hence the low placement. I think this set has...

Since theintention brought his own tier list, I decided to make my own, haven't updated mine in a long time. 1- 7th Acoustics Supernova 2- Xenns Mangird Tea 2 3- Tangzu X HBB: Heyday 4- Sennheiser IE600 5- Moondrop Starfield 6- Fiio JD7 7- Truthear X Crinacle: Red 8- Tangzu Wa'ner 9- Moondrop...

I see two unknown sony earbuds, one of the buds in the bottom 3rd row looks like a CCA CST, the IEM on the far right of the 2nd row might be a NiceHCK NX7 MK4. There's probably a random KZ in that pile somewhere

New Adonis model is now live: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006960434996.html Timmy listened to a demo, said bass was bloated. Sick IEM shells, lovely cable and pretty box, QoA absolutely nailed the presentation but I've heard they are meh at tuning much like Kinera who is apparently a...

I (And probably most people.) thought about the same thing but it's not out of the ordinary to have the Volare @ $600 when the Shuoer EJ07M has x4 sonion ESTs and retailed for around the same coin. If I'd hazard a guess, the Volare might be using cheaper BAs to save $$$, maybe custom bellsings...

$299 is pretty competitive pricing, I expected these to be maybe $425 because the Vulkan was $379 when it came out (Same driver config.) plus collab commissions. This is good for DUNU because they tend to be uncompetitive with their IEM pricing in general.

Timmy shilling the Pilgrim: Techs above the B3 is something I have to hear, also Effect Audio is shilling their cables lol Why spend $400 on an IEM when you can spend double am I rite?

I've heard Bellsings were made by Knowles ex-employees who left the company to make Knowles BA clones. People often call Sonion BAs the best in the market but are Knowles noticeably better than Bellsings?

TRN charging 30 bucks for a seven driver set is kinda wild. Makes you wonder how much the BAs cost, probably cents assuming there are 5 BAs on each side

PM'd!

I enjoy listening to my set and it's probably the most resolving set I've heard so far, really a tossup between the S8 and IE600. The S8 is a rather niche listen IMO, there's very little mid bass and mids are borderline shouty. Now discontinued and not really worth getting your hands on one...

8 dollars is crazy when the unboxing alone is comparable with stuff that costs 5-6 times the MSRP.

Price is apparently 400 USD: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006922123249.html I'm sold at this price minus the proprietary connectors (Why at this price point?) and an embarrassingly lack of tips One thing to note is that the treble BA (Sonion E50) is used on the Hype 4 while the 2300 has...

How does the Hype 4 fare against the Doscinco?

How long til Sony releases a successor to the Z1R? It's been on my radar for years but there's a lot of stuff nowadays for less. I'm getting a flagship IEM if I don't upgrade my old Dell laptop later this year. I don't wanna buy a Z1R and then Sony announces a successor 3 days after.

I thought the Timeless II went back to the drawing board after the original IEM release did not meet expectations. Like Shiguru Miyamoto quoted: A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad

Noticed that the grill on the Aurora looks like a flower, never seen this before on an IEM.

The Yanyin Moonlight comment sounds like something Crin would comment and then say absolutely NOT! when he looks up the price.. People who can easily demo sets are pretty darn blessed, not having to make any leap of faiths when deciding on sets is an underrated advantage.

Everything on offer look like generic, nameless products bought from Ali or Taobao and rebranded to be sold at a premium. 250$ for a pair of IEMs that probably retail for around fifty or maybe even less than that. I could be totally wrong but the wireless IEMs look like rebranded KZs and jrumz...

Did anyone get the Audio Volare pricing right? I thought this was around $1,600 judging by the driver config and unboxing. I've seen a bit of hype going around, is this the new best thing or a soup of the week IEM?

I'm not a basshead but I don't have any basshead IEMs on hand. Meteor has quite a bit of bass, but I wouldn't call the Meteor a true basshead IEM. Pretty sure Precog will review the Titan, interested to see what people think of this set.

I saw Baskingshark's Variations post on FB, it's not a Moondrop if the Faceplate doesn't come off 😂 Jokes aside, I don't expect IEM faceplates to remain intact for a long time if they are glued on. That Sympth Titan has me interested, it graphs with a ton of bass, looks to be a Meteor...

The rusty Aria 2 nozzle is probably due to heat and humidity, I own a Mangird Tea 2 and Kbear Diamond with oxidized nozzles and live in a humid place. You'd think Moondrop would improve build quality given that the Starfield and Aria was plagued by build quality issues but nope.
