    The discovery thread!

    Isn't that just usual 12$ KZ 784 cable? :thinking: It's decent, but if we also take into account that Trio now sells for 20$, Hydro must sound extraordinary in comparison to make up for that 85$ added cost.

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    With that price - no wonder. What I really like about these inflated price cable offers is the fact that -$8 or more Ali sale promocodes work on them too in addition to store promos. If a cable from known brand goes below 10$ - that's an instant buy in my book, because only materials (if...

    The discovery thread!

    It seems they also appeared in KBEAR store on Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006878219227.html From the look of it, they made a refresh, with new cable options (type C and 3.5mm + 1.2m\2m) and new, previously unseen tips (at least they look different from stock Rosefinch tips and...

    You basically take some needle or 1mm flat screwdriver (or anything similar) and remove that stock white filter from Rosefinch. Then you pick 4.5mm 350/400/450 filters like this (try the density that sounds better to you) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006137203461.html (I think 5mm might...

    The discovery thread!

    I did this too with 400 filter and they became really decent for the price. You know, sometimes you listen to a new IEM and have immediate urge to sell them right away, but these weren't that bad at all. It only surprises me why KBEAR is sticking to that white filter even with this new batch -...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    I swear, I'm not 12-year-old, but this was also my first reaction to the faceplate design. I can't believe KZ designers looked at this and thought everything is fine. Something like "CRA ᵖʳᵒ" would have been much better.

    Say what you will about Tiandirenhe sound and tuning, but their designs are always so pretty 🤩 This time it's their new TD21 earbuds. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006791924189.html

    Weird thing. I was searching for more info about Shenzhen Fujing Electronics Co company (the one that owns business license for various Volkchoi stores on Ali) and found a fresh trademark "SORATUNE" registered by them in early March. and first google search with this trademark gave me this...

    They will lower the prices eventually. Even now Trio sells on Ali for 19$ already (off from ~25$ from most stores + coins discount and 2$ anniversary coupon). The only thing that bothers me and put my Trio purchase on hold until next sale - if Trio is really comparable to Rhapsody in terms of...

    The discovery thread!

    Considering that with promos pink bag is $16.99 and golden is $22.99, perhaps something in 50$ price range? They said on twitter it's an old product so maybe something like Sakura, HiCotton or 7NBEE cables (just guessing by colors and 7N cables available in their store offers)...

    The discovery thread!

    In Akros comparison between R1, Aoshida E20 and CCA Rhapsody it looked more like a sidegrade to me (it's not a direct comparison with Trio per se, but gives some interesting insight nevertheless). On the other hand, R1 can be picked for less than ~49$ at the moment (with 5$ off 39 coupon +...

    Reply to review by 'Ealuri' on item 'Artti R3'

    Thank you for early review! Mine is still in transit ($15 price tag was irresistible) so it's nice to see early impressions. If you'd have to pick between the two, would you pick R2 or R3? Does R2 worth double price in comparison?

    It seems that coins system was reworked some time ago and it's not so useless now. The proper way to use it is to add the stuff you want to your wish list (better if it's the same item from different sources), then in the app open "Coins" - "Discounts" finder and usually wish listed items will...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hey all! I'm a long time reader of IEM reviews and especially discovery thread, but read-only mode can be pretty limiting so I decided to make an account.
