They're super excited about the sound quality.

I've seen a number of Chinese companies--and reviewers from other countries too, I believe--use the word "decent" in that way. It seems they don't realize that it carries the connotation of something being average or mediocre. Nobody wants to buy an IEM with merely decent sound.

But it's luxuriously decent

so.....BQEYZ is working on BQ6 and it will be lauch in some months.
Audiosense work on like 3 new models, including one or 2 sub-100$. This time it will be hybrid: 1DD+1BA and 1DD+2BA. It will have resin housing, not the one of T180-260-300.

Man...2020 will be VERY exciting....but, can we really take more?

Anybody try the BLON CARDINAL????

Do you know what the driver makeup of the BQ6 will be?

Lots of new piezo IEMs coming it seems. I have to say this new **** Pro is really growing on me... Might just be my new favorite IEM. The bass is exceptional. It reaches deep and slams hard and fast with no hint of muddiness (unlike the Blon-03). Very fun tuning, especially for Metal.

Yeah, now that I've "rediscovered" my NX7 after doing the micropore tape mod, I've found that it's excellent for metal too. Handles all of the fast paced guitar and drum/cymbals/high hats extremely well. Wouldn't surprise me to see that other models using a piezo driver also share those properties/abilities.

Lz A6 mini. Blazing fast. Has incredible air and space. Very 3D. Amazed at its technical abilities.

There is an A6 mini currently somewhere between Hong Kong and Los Angeles, headed my way :)

Sweet. I will say though. Them blue filters that come on them are crazy whack. Should have shipped with the black filters installed imo. The red filters are good too, but give up resolution. I also thought all the tips were horrible too. All very thin and in my ears would all push down the stem to where the filter screen was even with the mouth of the tip. Had good succes with Sony hybrids and Auvio tips.

BTW, do you like the TFZ No3?

Yeah I have the BLON Cardinal, this is my amateur review: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/blon-bluejay-cardinal.24030/reviews#review-22925
It has similar tuning to the BL-03, but has better fit (longer nozzles), better isolation and soundstage. Techinicalities (details, clarity, instrument separation) is about 20% better than the BL-03. More bassy than BL-03 with same tips used on both.
