I couldn't find a genuine store for MH755 so when I found one for MH750 I jumped on the opportunity without wasting any time. It's hard to imagine how fantastic they sound and cost less than a cup of coffee.
I bought my MH755 from ebay last year for £4.43. Unfortunately that seller has no more of them.

Was HZSOUND Heart Mirror the best iem under 100 € of the year?

How does it compare to Blon BL-03? I realized it is brighter.

Would it be a signature too much like NM2 + if I thought about buying both?
Based on the volume of forum member postings, nope. Even though the interest has ebbed, I think that honor goes to the iBasso IT00.

Exactly. Many sellers do not have MH755 in stock and those available currently are mostly fakes. Thankfully MH750 still haven't reached that phase. And I want to keep at least a few backups just in case something happens to them

Open Heart resin IEMs came today. Amazing presentation and quality build. Really nice cable with brass fittings and loads of accessories. And the sound.. well, OOTB they are really impressive. Deep textured sub bass, no bass bleed. Mids not recessed and excellent timbre. Treble clean and extended with excellent detail. Big 3D soundstage. These are a superb single DD and I think will challenge my Smabat NCO, Tin T2 plus and the BL-05s for top spot! £22 off Ali Express, it's a no-brainer.

That's indeed quite a good set of accessories for a budget set.

I don't really pay much attention to accessories in budget CHIFI as most of us in this hobby have aftermarket tips/cables that we will most likely use with our IEM. But I was extremely disappointed with the most recent TRN flagship (let's ignore the $15000 USD joke TRN golden ears), the TRN BA8, which was $140ish at launch. It had a truly disgraceful set of accessories:

1) Hard round case (metal) – FYI, it costs $3 USD on Aliexpress.

2) Silicone tips (S/M/L)

3) 4 Core OCC Cable – tangly and thin.

I wouldn't talk about the sound of the TRN BA8 (spoiler: it's not very good), but the dearth of accessories for a "flagship" is shocking. The TRN BA8’s cable and eartips are exactly the same as those seen in budget TRN gear, and perhaps they added the hard case to make it look more premium, but that hard case can be easily bought for $3 or cheaper on Aliexpress.

Fresh of the chi-fi oem assembly line: (Fengru) Rosa (D3). $25 USD on Aliexpress.

This is marketed as 1DD 10mm Beryllium Plated Crystal Composite film IEM.

Fit/isolation and build (except massive seams) are not bad. I've been using them with YY 16 SPC cable + CP145 tips.

Bright-leaning V sound signature, with highlight here being clean treble extension. High notes are well audible without sounding piercing or harsh. Very fun to listen to brass instruments.

Low end is above average with powerful and clean bass slam and decent sub-bass extension. However bass is not very well texturized and with complex low end tracks that have multiple simultaneous different basslines (like german techno), there's no good separation and things gets mashed together.

Mids are disappointing. Bass bleeds and there's a drop off in low mids to make the bass slam more pronounced. Male vocals sound distant and not musical. Femals vocals and upper mids are comparatively better due to good treble extension.

Soundstage is narrow and shallow but is tall and extends well vertically. Timbre and musically are below average. Minute details and instrument separation are OK. Stereo imaging is good.

Suggested for those fiending for affordable clean treble, it's very impressive at this price. Bass heads would appreciate simple yet strong bass slam. (My pick for best chi-fi IEM in this price range still goes to BL-03.)

(thanks to @baskingshark for flagging these)

The Open Heart continues to impress. It has a well balanced profile but has plenty of verve and vitality. Often neutral and balanced IEMs can lack a bit of excitement but that's not the case here. Midrange timbre is really excellent, classical music sounds great as does electronic music. The first four minutes or so of this track are amazing.
