    What people think is endgame: Finding that mystical IEM that matches 100% with your tone preferences and has enough TOTL techs, stops you from buying more gear. What endgame really is: Hopelessly spending thousands of dollars on side grades when that money could've bought you a u12t or something...

    Yeah, I did. The Questyle M15 seems to improve things a bit but not by much. It's really evident that something ain't right when I was doing some comparisons with my Symth Meteors which are supposed to be bassier.

    I feel pretty dumb realizing that my pair of B2 Dusks were always defective. They sound like you're always using a high impedance adapter, super hard to drive with a ridiculous amount of bass. Not sure what's the issue with my set? I tried swapping cables, tips and cleaning the sound tubes...

    3.5/5 is not a bad score at all, I'm baffled Penon thinks 3.5/5 is bad, explains why I never see any negative reviews reviews lower than 4-stars whenever I'm browsing their Penon, ISN and Sound Rhyme IEMs. Hidizs had a bit of drama on reddit back when the MP145 was new, they were accused of...

    I have a couple of FAX CDs in my physical collection, mostly the old trance stuff that's heavily overshadowed by the many ambient releases this label churned over the years. Always thought this release was some of that beatless ambient music I usually don't care for but there's some really good...

    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...

    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

    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 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.

    Rank the IEM's you've heard

    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.
