Has anyone noticed a new lucky bags for the Summer sale? I could only find older lucky bags and nothing new.

Hahahaha. Honestly at $49.99 I'd stay a million miles away from them. Because most of the IEMs listed in that draw are available for a lot less than $50. A cable is no incentive for me to get into that lottery especially if I'm going to win K1 and/or KB1. Or in the best case scenario BQ3/KC2. I'd rather get BQ3 for ~$35 with coupons or KC2 for ~$30 with coupons.Only seen the bqeyz lucky draw so far.

They term it "lucky draw", but it is probably gonna be unlucky for 90% of people haha. Ie ending up with some uncleared stock like the older K series.
I got burnt the last round with the bqeyz lucky bag, I was one of the 90% ish cases that received the K1 or KB1.
The big hitters like Summer or the Spring series will probably be the minority of sets given in this lucky draw, and this round it is more expensive at $49 compared to their previous lucky bag at $20ish.
Got mine too!KBEAR Neon review:

I'm also planning to buy Reecho and some good cable for it. Stock cable looks so cheap.Anyone started to pull together their Ali Summer sale wish list yet?
I'm starting to think that I'm turning into an addict!
Currently only have DD and BA iems, so perhaps time for me to try some other techs.
Maybe, BQEYZ Summer for $116 (or spring 2 $135)

or possibly the planar Tri i3 before it disappears for $140 (i3 pro version is apparently on the way)

That being said, I am a sucker for a single DD:
Reecho SG03 ($55) has got good reviews
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002394579812.html
Whizzer Kylin HE01 also had good reviews ($65 - think it might be a banned store this is from, so no link)
Or the HZSound Heart Mirror ($42)

Not spotted any deals on Moondrop Aria
oh, and the Tri Starsea ($107) seems to get a bit of attention

If its vocal centric, hows the vocal against Tanchjim Tanya?Got mine too!
Note: KBEar Neon was a prize from photo contest event hosted by KBEar, positive bias may affect the impression.
What’s so special about Neon?:
-The Midrange!
What’s the genre Neon would excel?
-anything with female vocals, it makes ofher instruments very subtle so you can concentrate on vocals
Tanya is still with 4px... it’s been 2 months since I placed order, that shipper is worse than Aliexpress standard shippingIf its vocal centric, hows the vocal against Tanchjim Tanya?
unfortunately its the only somewhat vocal centric sets i have (the rest is V with scooped mid)

Great write up on the Tanya, thanks for sharing your valued insight. I love the Tanya for some laid back listening while doing work. It puts out good SQ that is smooth and effortless.Here's a small review of the Tanchjim Tanya:
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tanchjim-tanya.25203/reviews#review-26110
Self purchased unit.
The year 2021 hasn't ended yet, but I think it may be the BLON BL-03 of this year, in terms of having excellent timbre and tonality, but perhaps not the most detailed set.
TLDR:
Pros
Excellent fit and good build.
Natural and organic timbre with great tonality.
Smooth and non fatiguing.
Above average technicalities (other than microdetails). Layering is a highlight.
Excellent price to performance ratio.
Cons
Non detachable cable.
Hard to drive, needs amping to scale better.
Not the most detailed set, not for analytical listening.
Below average isolation.
