True, thinking about it, when I was using earphones, the main issue was that each time that I'd take my phone out of my pocket and put it back, the cable would twist.. with MMCX this wouldn't be the case as you could just rotate it and untwist it. Never thought about it like this, but people complain about it making a noise when rotating.

I never heard any noise when rotating the cable tho (with my Pai Audio DR2). Maybe some IEM does make noise

free rotating is good sometimes since you can adjust how the cable hook on your ear, but if they keep rotating, it does become annoying as heck

I like MMCX. The rotation helps with fit and its just an easy standard. I have never had a single MMCX cable fail either. Have had 3 dual pin cables break. I also hate the numerous different versions of dual pin connectors. Innies, Outies, QDC, TFZ .78 .75 ect.

Btw I had one MMCX connector that was loose and always cut out with certain movements. I rectified the situation by using a very small standard screwdriver and just splaying the middle pole a tiny bit. Rectified the problem and is still perfect to this day.

how to fix loose the connector? my socket is very loose after I use the mmcx to 2 pin adaptor at it

Well in my case it was just not making contact with the center pin inside the IEM. If you look it should be a very small pole with a gap in the middle of it. Using a very tiny standard screwdriver I was able to stick it in between the gaps and just barely splay both sides of the pole outwards. That helped give it a tight fit and solved the cut out problem and the super loose spinning issue.

I just receive my JADE AUDIO EA3.

If its a knowles in there, its a bright one.

V (or kinda W) shape sound. Sub bass is little boomy. Vocal are clear but bright with rare sibilance. Soundstage is kinda huge. Mid range is on the thin transparent side, not very textured or fully revealing. Treble is quite emphased, perhaps it will be too agressive for some, but it deliver plenty of micro details and have nice sparkle-brilliance. I like how acoustic guitar sound but some percussion can be harsh too....will burn them in more and share more impressions.
Construction is okay-ish. Choice of housing plastic is rather cheap IMO Cable look nice (for the price).

My EA3 tracking information still hasn't updated :/

 

[yorosello]

eyy...another EA3 has arrived... where the heck is mine?

 

[yorosello]

My EA3 tracking information still hasn't updated :/

the shipping service they use is really slow if I must say. They ask me to wait for 5-10 days for the tracking to get updated

Ali sellers all seem to be on a go slow of late.

I dunno if this will help, but I've seen some people buy a MMCX to 2 pin adapter, something like this:



There are smaller ones than these, and they're all available on AE and most online shops. Whether it will degrade the audio signal and make the fitting weird/unasthetically pleasing is another story though. Never tried one, so maybe anyone can advise?

I guess these are similar devices to "socket savers" that are used in amps and other stuff to prevent wear and tear of the socket. It might be worth a punt IMO for expensive TOTL IEMs. I'm not a fan of MMCX connectors too, but it's pity that you guys give a miss to some good sounding IEMs just because it has an MMCX connector.

Do you have a link? I only get the small ones without any cable.

I have the small 2pin-MMCX convertors for testing IEMs but they are a little too long for straight recessed 2pin long term. They are Ok for right angle connectors, though.

I will try my best to help you. I don't own any IEM's as of now, I am just a person who did their research. I cannot tell you which IEM has the blon sound singature, but I do see this IEM being a better alternative to the BL03: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000265604736.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4c7b4c4dVfpxUO

Other than that, the TRN V90 is well respected. I mean you can see that the V90, CCA C12/C16, KZ SZX are always recommended. Maybe you want to hear from somebody who has more experience irl.

I don't have the Urbanfun or the ZSX. Based on the ones I do have (V90, C12 and BL03), my recommendation is that if you can afford two of the three get the 03 and C12 as they are more different sounding. If you want one IEM to do the lot, the V90 has most of the bass performance of the 03 with most of the detail of the C12. Honestly all three of these IEMs are excellent (and I know there are others at the same money that are in the same ballpark) and none will disappoint. The V90 is second best of the three in pretty much any situation, which makes it in my book the best all rounder and the answer to the question "which is the best sub £30 IEM money can buy?"

Can someone tell me how much bigger the A6 Mini is over the V90? Noticed they look similar from pics.

How's the bass on the T4 in terms of quantity and quality and extension? I thought the T4's FR looked quite good except it was a bit basslite for my tastes, hence I gave it a miss. But I've no doubt Tin audio has quite good tuning, especially for those that like a neutralish tuning. Up to now the T2 is still generally regarded as the "gold standard" in the sub $50 USD range for a neutralish CHIFI, the T4 looks a bit more bassy than it.

Yeah, I think bass heads will probably find it to be bass-lite. The extension is good, though, and the quality, for my tastes, is great. Very fast and tight bass, but with just enough decay to give it body and umph and not sound too dry. For me the quantity is sufficient even for EDM. I didn't feel that way about the T2 at all, even though I liked most of its other qualities. The T4 is definitely more bright and closer to neutralish tonality than the BL-03, which is darker with more bass and less elevated highs.

ive been tip rolling on the **** to try to get them to a sound i like, with the Symbio W tips (my faves for Tin T2) the **** had way too much bass, with Spiral Dots bass was kinda thin and it sounded V shaped, mids were too recessed. time to try some of my generics.

TRN BA5 is supposed to be here tomorrow which is nice.

i was a big mmcx fan for a while 'cause i don't like the feel of lack of durability on the connector of the only 2pin ive had so far (KZ ZST), but after breaking the mmcx connector on my TRN BT20S by accident within five minutes because it was too tight im starting to swing back around to 2pin.
