Personally I don't feel like this is a great way of categorizing tuning approaches. There is so much variety from equipment (not just IEMs) that comes from all over the world that these types of blanket statements do more to stereotype gear than to accurately describe it. Just my two cents.I understand why some folks don't love it, but I do not for the life of me understand the hate it gets in some quarters or why some folks have made a religion out of trumpeting their dislike for it.
In my opinion a lot of the controversy around it stems from the fact that it's an unapologetic and pure manifestation of a quintessentially American tuning aesthetic, which completely flies in the face of many of the trends in recent years that have placed an emphasis on more "eastern" tuning approaches that emphasize top end air, detail and clarity above all.

if there isn't at Aliexpress and Taobao etc there isn't.Hi guys you know maybe if there are this silicone protection for bonneville too?
I don't think you need those for Bonneville. The shells on the chromatic line up won't get peal off like the metal shell does.
Speaking of protection, my 3-year-old well-used Andromeda (500hr+) looks nearly straight out of a brand new box
I toss them in my pocket and bags when I go out (with mesh pouch).
All I did was keep them in the mesh iem pouch(the one that separates each side) that CFA provided when I was not wearing them.

Obsolescence by design? I have given up using my Andros that I keeping, practically, as a collection item by now due to the fragility of their finishing.What sorcery is that? I do the same and mineis all scratched uphas developed patinas.
(borderline to sell the whole lot, what is the point in having a stack of IEMs that I barely dare to touch?).
The only exception to this are Ara and Gold TI .. Supermoon HK seem to be holding on ok so far, albeit once again I barely use them now as I fear the scratchiness of anything CFA.
Normal use has not caused any issues to my Sonys, 64Audio, UM, Sennheiser, but "rapid esthetic ruining risk" is a common feature of most CFA IEMs I own.

Honestly I love the worn look. I know it’s not for everyone, especially those more concerned with resale, but I love it. It makes them mine you know?What sorcery is that? I do the same and mineis all scratched uphas developed patinas.

Hey friends, was going to switch up to the Blackstar today after using the Bonneville last few wks to provide some brief impressions, Bony vs Black-star, but just plugged into Apple Music first time with Bonneville ,which has impacted my thoughts,,, to keep listening more and that i need to do same with Blackstar
Surprisingly using Apple Music sound seems more impactful, even more detailed using latest app version , than Tidal
Both iems are amazing,, foot stomping sets
While i cant wait to plug into the Blackstar today,, its hard to unplug the Bonneville at the moment
While stomping my feet enjoying the music, I wondered is the Bonneville a mini a trifecta?
Boy love to try that one
Blackstar thoughts coming soon

Apple music is louder on average across the board check if your tidal has loudness equalization on as well. I predominantly use both services for different genres concurrently.Hey friends, was going to switch up to the Blackstar today after using the Bonneville last few wks to provide some brief impressions, Bony vs Black-star, but just plugged into Apple Music first time with Bonneville ,which has impacted my thoughts,,, to keep listening more and that i need to do same with Blackstar

Thx, will check, and appreciate info
Interested in listening to the Bonneville and Trifecta. The only CFA products I heard (years back) are the OG Andro and Ara. Much has changed since then..
