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

I have the CNT-1, so a more balanced version (LZ Z05A) would suit me well.
I don't plan on buying another LZ product. Why should I have to change the stock cable and eartips to make the CNT1 work well? I want something that works when I purchase it.

Now after I changed the cable and eartips... it doesn't sound that special. I think I need someone to tell me the perfect config cause I give up.

Last hour had $15 off $100... I caved and also got the Shuoer Tape for $90. Hope no connector issues arise.

mine shipped rather quick, in fact all three of my purchase on 11.11 shipped the next day. i hope their journey to my home is quick

Well I have a feeling there's gonna be a black friday and christmas sale of some sort on AE. Maybe for all we know, before we receive our loot from 11/11, a new sale (and new hypetrain CHIFI) will have started. This is bad for the wallet =(

That's Chinese tech industry for you. Every subsequent release is more like an open-beta testing for products, which isn't common in western industries.
This is especially present in their telecommunications industry, which is pretty much profitless up until they release their premium models.

100% Agreed, I posted this in another thread about us consumers being treated as beta testers:

Unfortunately, that's the way it is in the CHIFI industry. And it won't change anytime soon I'm afraid.

Good evening, everyone!

What IEM would you recommend for a sub $50 budget?

I was thinking of either getting the CCA A10 (heard good things about it here) for a pure BA iem (my first) or the BLON-03 that everyone seems to like.

I already have the Tin T2, and the new T4 is out of my budget for now.

What do you think? Another recommendations? Is there better IEMs under $50?

Harman tuning (with some sub-bass): BLON BL-03
More bassy V-shaped fun: V90

Get these two and everything else is chasing the final 5%

Western brands aren’t immune, though. Audeze iSine felt beta-ish to me for example.

God I hope so, my indecision made me miss the deals, lol. After buying the Tin T4s I still wanna buy the Tape and the P1 (just because interesting tech) as well as the No.3 and ZSX or C12. Maybe BL-03 because of the hype and it's really cheap so no big deal if I don't like them. So if I can get a decent price any one of those I'll be happy. Probs get one of the cheaper ones because I can't see me finding the Tape or P1 for less than $100...

Prices generally drop a few months after release, so if u wait a bit and are not too hard up to get some CHIFI IEMs ASAP, chances are they will be cheaper in a few months time. AE sales are year round, so don't worry.

There's a successor to the TFZ No. 3 that came out a few weeks ago, the TFZ King Edition. It has the same driver as TFZ No. 3 but has tuning switches too. And it's a few quid more than the original No. 3. I almost pulled the trigger on the King Edition on 11/11 (it came with a free TFZ My Love), but some early first adopter reviews from mainland China had equivocal reviews. But a bigger contributory factor to not getting it was my wife would have killed me if suddenly 2 IEMs appeared in the mail so soon after I got the BLON Cardinal LOL.

The TinHifi T4 is now available for $79 though the normal price will be $119. It's a steal at both prices!

Nice, been looking at it alot...hope either to test them or buy them (after reviewer hype train pass).

So whats incredible about them??? It's hard to get an idea of the sound...but did timbre is thick? Hows female vocal? Soundstage??

But yeah, the graph is DOPE:

  • Mahir Efe Falay Well Pro looks like a bassy version of **** at the first glance. It dragged my face down :) but while its stage is narrower its treble extension and clarity are one.5 notches better.

    Pro's bass feels like it has sub bass capacity but it doesnt go that …See More

      so sounstage is less big and airy? what about mid range? yeah, treble with 2 bas should be more extended....i wonder how they fit everything in there...

  • ErIk Ikomori
    ps: thanks for the share!!!!!!!

  • Mahir Efe Falay
    ErIk Ikomori Always my pleasure ❤

    The soundstage is something I didnt especially look for but while pro can easily be driven its not that airy. No big deal, its like 0.7 while **** is 1. About midrange I detected a slight V FR. Will listen more to update and verify. Fit is almost same as ****.''
we got some first impressions of SF DT6PRO on NBBA. Should receive mine soon. Construction look kinda crappy, but still unsure about the sound.
