I totally agree, the Starshines are exceptionally brilliant IEMs, and a steal at their price.

Very well described, nice review

@abheybir Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it!

$499 = flagship? Seems to have rather mediocre performance, for anything about it to be called flagship-level. I know, at least, that the treble performance of Starlight 4 is phenomenally realistic(though way, way too bright).

@CT007 Indeed, it's the company's flagship. You are entitled to your own opinion.

@CT007 - yea varies from company to company for example Fiio FD5<400$ and used to be a flagship of the brand.

@abheybir Absolutely. Different companies work in different price ranges. You have $100 flagships, $300 flagships, $500 flagships, $5000 flagships, etc.

@abheybir So if TRI already has a $799 flagship IEM, how can a new $499 IEM also be a flagship? Flagships can be half the price of each other? FD3 at $109 can be a flagship, but also their $799 FDX? I suppose it makes sense, if flagship just means, "newest".
