What do you mean by "hard circle"?

Do you mean neck band (like this):

Yes that, and I missed "without" in my post, so something without neck band.

Yes, that is a good price. I paid twice that on amazon last year.

I have another Senzer, the Senzer S10 which is very tiny... good for sleeping. Can't comment on the sound as it has been too long since I last used it. The problem with having too much stuff.

Bluedio T3Plus, 50 USD, Bluetooth, Uber strong bass, 20 Hours of Battery life, really nice if you like your bass to be strong but non-distorted

Did you opt for any of the upgrades ?

Nope, they are too expensive for me. They price was already high.

I wonder what imporvemtn the "upgrade" brings. I'd love to know the IT01 stacks against this considering both of them retail at the same price .

If you are talking about same Hisenior B5+ but more expensive variant, then in terms of sound nothing will change. Its just about looks and cable (and I doubt it will have much effect on sound). If you wish to pay more and get better model, you should look for other variants of their earphones. I also know **** makes same type of Multi-BA earphones.

i think i paid $25 for my h1 and though it was good value--if you like that big, v-shaped fun sound they're a no-brainer for $10

I bought a second one for 9€. A total steal!

Besides a very good overall sound which scales well with good DAPs, The Senzer H1 has an impressive soundstage.

finally after some weeks of usage of KZ ES4 and Rose North Forest here is my comparison-
I used turbo whirlwinds M on both the iems
The sound signatures are quite different because KZ uses BA for mids and highs where as RNF uses dynamic driver for full FR
Cable:
es4's cable is braided and non-microphonic and is rather tangle resistant
rnf's cable is a good quality non-sticky rubberized but is quite microphonic it is quite tangle resistant
Bass:
es4 has fast and quite controlled bass with good quantity with wide bores but gets boomy with starlines though(wide bores are must for es4), sub-bass extension is good, there is some mid-bass bleed into low mids but is treatable with EQ
rnf's bass is slightly slower than of es4's but is present in larger quantity, mid-bass is boosted and has prominent mid-bass bleed into low mids but when this mid bass is treated then you will hear the depth of rnf's bass it digs so deep which is quite desirable
Mids:
es4 has clean and clear mids with sparkle which is expected from a BA one can hear the subtle micro details easily, mids are quite energetic and natural sounding on es4
rnf's mid is dominated by 4k-5k peak which gives a slight artificial tone to mids the mids are quite forward(more than es4), the mids on rnf are relatively more thick than es4 and has a strong tone to it, when rnf is treated with eq it sounds so much better and cleaner than before(quite worth it), these do not sound as natural as es4's
Highs:
here es4 completely dominates rnf
es4 has brighter and more detailed highs than rnf but rnf is no joke in highs it has lot of air here(more than es4)
Soundstage:
here es4 completely destroys rnf in terms of width but they are quite close in depth
imaging is better on es4, instrument separation is also better on es4
Conclusion:
es4 and rnf are quite different from each other es4 has thinner and cleaner SQ than rnf but rnf has thick mids with awesome bass which I like but rnf lacks in soundstage which is a bummer
ES4:
controlled bass with clear sparkling mids and bright and detailed highs
RNF:
deep AF bass with strong thick mids with airy highs

my Hisenior B5+ seems to have settled. no more significant changes in sound. I'm happy to say this has settled in nicely. worth every cent of it's price

 

[ssnjrthgr8]

The nozzle of the Hisenior B5+ have 2 sound paths. One from a group of 4 BAs and another goes from a single BA.

Its supposed to have 3 of them...

Spoiler

 

[skajohyros]

Anyone have any experience with UiiSii HM7? Bit of an older pair but i was thinking about ordering them as a cheap gym headphone. It was gonna be either that or the kz edr2.

Both have similar sound signatures. Hm7 being a bit more bassy while the edr2 more balanced. I prefer the edr2 but both are decent for the price.

 

[TooPoorForHiFi]

Is there any IEM as good as the iBasso IT01 but can be worn down and not hook over the ear?

 

[HungryPanda]

The only dynamic iem I have that can be worn down is the Svara Red

Mine

Its supposed to have 3 of them...

Well, yea, but I see only 2 of them. There are 2 double BA, a large triangular sound duct, that goes through filter and to the nozzle, and another from 1 single BA.

Interesting question to ask.

i can only see 2 also on my unit, just like vivicector described, but it is a bit hard to peek.
