@mbwilson111 I've just read your signature, and I'm happy to report that Mr. Steve Guttenberg (and me!) both like the Tin T2 Pro

So it turns out I just don't seem to like BA earphones. Just received my Semkarch CNT-1 through the mail and while I was ordering those I also ordered a pair of cheapie KZ ED9. Straight out of the box I prefer those little guys to the ZS10 and the TRN V80. Sure, they're flawed (tuning isn't quite spot on with either nozzle and the cable microphonics are off-putting) but these cost less than a CD. For the money, I'm impressed.

After spending (wasting?) hundreds of dollars on headphones, earbuds and iems I have found my favourite pair!

Semkarch CNT-1!

The sound is so realistic that I dont know if I'm listening to music or if it's right beside me.

Discontinued, too. Buy now!

Literally thrown a pair of spinfits on and I'm now having my first listen. They do seem rather nice.

How do they compare to the moondrop crescents?

I haven't really heard mine. But the CNT-1 sound quality is worth $100+

Ya it looks good, all the headfiers are recommending it too.
I have too many IEMs argggg. In 2 minds whether to get it.
Penon audio is still selling it at 95 USD lol, the other AE stores are selling it at 35 ish.
Do the CNT-1 nozzle filters change the sound a lot? Not a gimick?

Noticeably. The gold filter has a touch less bass than the black. It makes as much difference as eartips. In my case I can't get a good seal with any of my silicone tips. So I've changed to Bulletz. They were a touch overblown in the bass with the blacks. So I've changed to the golds. Loveliness ensues.

Edit - what is this "too many" IEMs of which you speak?

My local post office has apparently misplaced my parcel! Hope they find it else I will have to reorder before the stocks run out. CNT drivers have fantastic sound it's so natural. My VS7s give that pleasant natural sounding feel to it. I desperately hope my local post guys find and deliver my parcel!

Ouch. That's a sickener. Hope it turns up.
