The Openheart Resin does not have the warmth, timbre and magic of the Blon 03. If you mean the HZSOUND Heart Mirror, then the Heart Mirror is in a league above the Openheart Resin.

Agree with hear mirror, I found heart mirror is close to Moondrop Starfield, or maybe CNT DD units are actually from same OEM/ODM, and heart mirror might just be the product from that OEM/ODM so they could lower the R&D cost to have a great single DD around $50 bracket

Thanks. I guess you guys don't have tripowin tc 01. That would be an interesting comparison. Heart mirror is my next target, as I heard they are neutral (a tad warmer) with good technicalities. But kz dq6 and tripowin tc-01 is also on my radar. If someone has all three (also something from my collection or signature eg. Bl03) or combinations of them, would love to hear your thoughts. Especially I would love a comparison technicality wise, as I have read up on their tonality and sound signature.

Not what you asked, but...

I had the BL-03 and have the DQ6.

The DQ6 has a much wider sound stage and better mids; male vocals are especially intelligible. The BLON's fit is atrocious. Literally unwearable. The DQ6 will sound like crap with the stock tips, but once you find the right tips it's pretty amazing.

I'm the opposite; the Blons fit my relatively small ears better than the DQ6, which hurts to wear for an extended period of time.

No this is exactly what I want! I have blon, so comparing with that helps me get a sense of how good the others are. Btw, from the impressions I got from the kz thread, dq6 has better technicalities than bl03. Any comments on that??

Exactly, I have the same impression! For small ears, blon is actually really comfortable, sleep with them inside comfortable (almost, but you do want to take them out at some point when you wake up a bit). I know because I have done it.

I feel like the DQ6 would more of a sidegrade while the Heart Mirror would be an upgrade to the BL-03. I don't own the Heart Mirror but from what I've read, it's a very promising option.

The DQ6 is a bit brighter and significantly less mid-bassy than the Blons so I guess it sounds a bit more detailed? My ears aren't discerning enough to tell.

TRN TA1: order placed.

 

[HerrXRDS]

Fiio F9 Pro with eq to drop that 8k peak is still my pic over anything new including FH3, blon, yssi, etc. Superior technicalities, soundstage and perfect fit.

 

[profusion]

Will Kinera Bd005s be un upgrade from my cca c12 as a sub 100$ piece?

Fiio F9 Pro with eq to drop that 8k peak...

Could you provide more details about this?

unfortunately, I don't have tripowin tc 01, but for KZ DQ6 and Heart Mirror, heart mirror got better technicality:

soundstage :
DQ6 got a strange arrays of sonud that I'm hesitating to refer that as a sound stage, but yes it has an echo chamber of sounds, meanwhile, Heart Mirror just got above-average ones, pretty similar to Moondrop starfield.

imaging:
Heart Mirror got more coherent imaging

positioning:
Heat Mirror got better positioning, benefiting from a single DD. DQ6 has some tricky positioning some instruments may appear in front of you and some may be far. If you like it you will like it, but in terms of accuracy, it's far off.

resolution:
Again Heart Mirror: it's a solid contender for the value-to-money.

But after all...The one on my constant list is DQ6, as Heart Mirror is a good and outperforming contender, it lacks uniqueness to me. "wow, this thing sounds good!"
DQ6 is "hmm?? it's not terrible, it's quite good for some aspects, but hmmm?? Unique"

Looks like the Openheart Resins are back in stock

Wow, the purple one looks exquisite.! (Out-of-stock )...Order placed for the blue one.

I let go of the Blon a while back so I can't comment on its technical abilities, but the DQ6 is good from that perspective.

The more I use them the more impressed I am. They're my go-to Zoom call headset but they deserve better.

 

[speedfiend]

Anyone can compare the Heart Mirror to the Dunu Falcon-C? The Falcon-C seems to be the single DD IEM that I keep going back to in the sub $200 range.

Should I guess that what my big brother needs is headgear that can go loud while moving as little air in the process as possible?

Edit: Is this why BAs are popular for hearing aids. Although I think bone conductors are even more so.

I just wrote a review on the DQSM Hermit, found it to be quite a surprisingly pleasant-sounding IEM for its asking price!
