Hibiscus can be bought for ~$45 during 11.11 with coupons and discounts. As a sub 50 DLC IEM it's very tempting. I've got my eyes on them for sure. Might have to ditch BT20S for this month thanks to my miser wallet. **** Pro is already in the way along with N3+ so 11.11 is solely focused on Hibiscus. Hoping to find a sweet deal with coupon stacking and all that jazz.

Have u gotten the BLON BL-03? It's a must try DD for all CHIFI lovers, even if u don't like it, at least that can form the basis of comparisons when discussing other higher end DDs. I saw it at $25 USD 11/11 prices at some AE stores, maybe even cheaper with coupons. I like it more than some of my more expensive single DDs like the TFZ No. 3.

Other than the Hibiscus, there's other single DDs that are ~ $50 - 100 USD (prices before coupon deduction):
1) BLON Bluejay/Cardinal - cheapest $64 USD. I'm quite interested in it, as this is the most expensive IEM from the BLON family, I think it uses the same drivers as the BLON
2) Auglamour T100 - $26 USD
3) Simgot MT3 - $75 USD
4) Toneking 1Q - $86 USD
5) GT2 10 mm DLC - $67 USD

Auglamour T100 is the cheapest of the lot, I haven't heard any other Auglamour IEMS before though.
Probably only have cash to get one of these single DDs and the Hisenior N3 ($18 USD).

Hmm, it's a bit weird, but I still prefer the no. 3 than the blon :confused:

TFZ No. 3 is definitely much more technical than the BLONs to me, and it is quite basshead to boot, but the upper mids and 8 kHz peak is a bit shouty to me for some instruments and female vocals. On certain recordings it is a bit overbearing. But as usual YMMV.

It also depends on the genre of the music you listen to might differ. Yup, YMMV.

How to find that GT2 10mm DLC $67?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000261790502.html?

Its a custom build and is totally a gamble, but the looks and shape of it are really intriguing. I may gamble on them, but then again I have an Oppoty to get V90 for $25 and I am very intrigued by the TRN TWS which is also $25ish for me.

Play that stupid game on the mobile app. There are all kinds of coupons given away there. $5 off $35 ect. I ended up getting some nice coupons there and it didn't take that long to play through the entire game board.

Where did you get the **** pro? I thought they are still in pre order session? Do they already have them in stock now?

Have BL03 and love them to the bits. I'm looking at $50ish and Simgot et all out of my budget for now even with coupons. Auglamour has sketchy record of more misses than hits. As I'm buying a couple of TWS as well so it's really difficult for me to gamble on Auglamour. I've placed my bets on **** Pro and Hisenior N3+ so, it's either Hibiscus or nothing for me atm and two factors that make me lean towards Hibiscus are $45-47 price tag and DLC driver.

All of a sudden there's a surge in number of DDs in Chi-fi scene which is very refreshing from the recent hybrid burst. Some really good DDs popping up in all budgets. Is CNT diaphragm the new BA? Feels like that somehow, at least to me
