CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

Not to my ears, but that definitely comes to the DD vs. BA preference and perhaps to the ability to measure the low end of IEMs with BAs properly.

P. S. I am not into any "hype trains".
I bought A10 and like it.
C10 is undoubtedly a better all-rounder that can be recommended more universally, especially to people coming from DDs.
Yup, agree!...I warned everyone in my review! They sound horrible right out the package, but give them at least 100 hours of play time, and they will definitly surprise those treble and clarity seekers. Details are easily revealing on all genre's!
...That's why I personally won't review an earphone right out the package.:wink:

While poking around on AliExpress, I came across this Audio Sense T180, which is the single balanced armature (Knowles RAF-32873) version of their T100 single dynamic driver earphone, that I recently bought.
It's difficult to tell, from just looking at the photo, whether the nozzle is as thin as the one on the T100.
So, I've ordered a set, to see if they sound as good, and are as comfortable to wear.

Did anyone recently get this message from this banned seller on Aliexpress about a new carbon nanotube IEM that they're selling?

I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but apparently its original price is supposed to be $199, but it's now selling for $29.99 for the first 500 units.

I have no idea if this is actually legit cause it seems too good to be true, but I bought one anyways. Can't wait to get it and see if it actually sounds like a $200 IEM.

No

They market a new iem for 40$ which is to 30$ for promotion and they sell that like a iem which is similar to 200$ iem..

Like nicehck which ep10 which similar to 1000$. I never take that like real. Chinese marketing is always in the abuse

just received Kinera Siv, that thing is good
Still waiting on mine. Ordered from the Kinera2017 store when they have the promotional price of $30 on release weekend. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have just waited to purchase from one of the usual AE stores (especially during the mid-year sale when it was the same price) and I probably would have had it by now.

Yikes, I guess I should cancel my purchase then.

I don't expect much, just figured I'd be surprised and have more fodder for the blog.

Any impression s on the audiosense t180?

Over on the "Audio Lounge" thread, I posted this on 28-JUN-19 -
The Audiosense T180 Knowles Single Balanced Armature Earphones arrived in the mail yesterday, and they are in the same shell as the T100 earphones, which I find are comfortable for my ears.
I'm driving them with: Roku4 (TOSLINK) -> (TOSLINK) FiiO Taishan D03K [Cirrus 4344 DAC](3.5mm TRS) -> (3.5mm TRS) iBasso PB2 Amp [4x LME49710HA & 4x BUF634P w/Class A Bias](2.5mm TRRS).
While the T180 may not have the same level of low Bass as the T100 - they do have a fairly balanced sound, with fast, detailed Bass; articulate & slightly forward Midrange; and very clear Treble.
