I like so much 1677ss that i'm thinking to buy also ST1000 and/or HS1697ti or maybe i'll wait HS2000MX, but latter looks not comfy as older models...
HS1300ss looks also interesting but should be similar to HS1677ss, maybe better isolation but not better at all.

To me the HS2000MX is every bit as comfy as the previous offerings, maybe even more so with the new asymmetrically shaped tips

Thank @ehjie i confirm everything you told me, HS1677ss is a real deal and different from others IEMs I have/had.

Curious if you (or anyone else that reads this) can compare the HS1677ss to the Dunu Zen. Especially when used with a balanced source

Sorry didn’t listen to Zen

Okay thanks. With a little luck some other forum number might chime in

A totally different experience. auditioned the z1r multiple times, from its release.
Acoustunes are medium efficient in ear headphones - easier to drive than the end game treble z1r

Take care, they're very addictive LOL.
Sure less on the low level (micro) details, less on separation - that's a given. But dang! they're jaw dropping XL size scene and a different kind of organic presentation, bright as a sunny day...

Enjoy your hi-fi level music...

Maybe, I should draw the line here.
If I don't have the '77 - then I' d grab a pair 1300. It can be sensible to get the custom tip st-1000 and increase isolation.
The HS2K is the next step after the '77

Plugged to M8, it’s very different from every IEMs listened right now, sound more similar to open back Cans, i’d try some tips but AET07 (stock) aren’t bad, a bit short.
I’ll try Azla earfit regular length and EPRO EP00 that are longer.
I like it with post rock but also with acoustic music as Dominic Miller.
Soundstage is huge and detail retrival is very good but still mantain natural timbre, This DD has a great timbre, natural/warm but very detailed at the same time.
I really like what I’m hearing right now with M8, Arvo Part “Passio” sounds so emotional and true, I’ve almost cried

You will my friend. Play your most sentimental music. Check out the coherence, prat/adsr, natural dynamic energy emanating from the record production.
Since I personally watched one of his concerts, this is an example:

I really love my HS1677ss and next step will be ARS133 because I read will improve everything from highs to bass.
Bass will be more articulated and highs will have more air and at the same time will be less harsh and more fluid
