Anyone know why the T800 review page is gone/banned?

I haven't spent much time with them yet, but first impressions are mixed. T260 is very comfortable. I'm using P-series comply foam tips, so isolation is exceptional as well.
I'm getting much more overall bass than expected or wanted actually (I'm sure foam tips are some part of that equation). It is however fairly linear (nothing ridiculously boosted).
Highs/Upper treble is rolled off drastically, so I find myself straining to hear details or any "air." After 8K everything takes a nose dive. Additionally, high mids-treble in the 4-10K region don't sound as refined compared to some of my other IEMs. Cymbals especially, in some tracks sound kind of plastic or artificial.
Mids-high mids (centered around 2K) really stick out and this is why I was interested in the T260 in the first place. They will be used for vocal monitoring in live performance. Good news is I use an iPad app to control my monitors and it has a 31 band EQ, so it's all good.
The sound signature reminds me of Yamaha Orthodynamics I used to own (HP-1, YH-1). Linear bass, boosted high mids, rolled off highs-upper treble. However, no where near as refined.
I would not use these for critical listening or finding details in recordings, but believe they will be fine for my applications (monitoring with EQ and everyday on the go use). I should have saved some money and tried the T180, but that orange shell turned me off, lol.
BTW, even though I've waited a ridiculous amount of time, Audiosense has always been very responsive. I've always had great customer service from them. Lesson learned, don't use Epacket mail service --- Use AliExpress Standard!

That makes me more excited about the upcoming AQ7!
I have two pairs of AQ3 and one of ThieAudio Legacy 3. The Legacy 3 has more subbass than the AQ3 for sure, but less midbass. Just wanted to clearify this since the graphs do not reflect that!

The ads on that site are really starting to get intrusive.
I’m all for paying the bills and all, but it’s starting to get ridiculous. Pop ups, banners, ads up top, ads down below, multiple ads embedded every other paragraph...next the ads are going to come and knock on my front door...

As anyone had or heard the t800 and blessing 2. I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these. Help me please, anybody?

T800 is very bright and u shaped, with almost dd like bass.
Blessing 2 is bright-neutral with quality bass but low quantity.
I prefer blessing 2 way more than the T800.

Bright as in fatiguing? I can handle treble but too much is a no /no. I don't mind low quantity as long as the bass has texture. What about details / resolution? I'm hearing the blessing 2 really punches above its weight class
