CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest
Nov 15, 2018 at 12:12 AM Post #14,206 of 31,845
I spent the afternoon today with the BossHiFi/Blon S1 (1+1 hybrid) and though I haven't shown them much love over the past several months I can say they performed quite admirably. The S1 may look like a fisher-price toy but they're extremely comfortable and light as a feather.

The translucent blue but very basic cable is nothing to celebrate but its preformed earhooks did a great job of keeping the S1 stationary despite any sudden movements up, down, left or right.

The bass, midrange and treble are nearly on equal footing while the soundstage presentation has average width & depth. Their only minor drawback is that the sound signature tends to lean towards being somewhat dry, despite the accurate timbre. That said, I had them in for two hours but I really enjoyed my time with them today. In the end, good extension on both ends with a centered midrange make these an easy recommendation if you're looking for a great middle-of-the-road daily driver.

My BossHiFi B3 is excellent at $30+/-.
The BossHiFi/Blon S1 is quite a bargain at $16.

Now I'm eyeing this Blon BlueJay single dynamic with detachable cables. I might go for these. Has anyone in the community dubbed these yet?

The red is the "Blon Cardinal".

The blue is the "Blon BlueJay".

Yes, it's extremely bright.

I found the T2 Pro model (pre-release) I reviewed to sound bright but not significantly brighter than the T2 regular. It was more extended. But my model had some defects in it... like missing screens. Who knows what else. I wonder if that or other passed-on defects cause sound to change. My actual measurements also look a little bit different than yours and ischa's who posted his on a different forum (probably cant post here but its not the one you're probably thinking of) which I compared to mine. Both yours and his had some differences between T2/T2 Pro where mine didnt have as drastic differences besides extension of treble.

Made more in-depth post on the other thread.

Do note that Aliexpress Standard Shipping uses PostNL, the national Dutch postal service; I always try to buy from stores that use aliexpress standard shipping for that reason (I am Dutch). :beyersmile:

It uses a postal service that is either the national postal service of the destination country or a postal service of a country in the same region as the destination.

In my experience , Aliexpress standard shipping is almost always faster than China post.

Right, I wasn't aware of that. But yeah, for me it also has almost always been faster.

My DHL from 11.11 shows out for shipping today too. Looks like NiceHck shipped very quickly this year.

Could somebody recommend me some iem for rap possibly with ok isolation because i will be using it during my commute. I have more or less 30 euro to spend.

Thanks will look into them, but what do you think of tin t2 with the vent mod, i could get them for like 36 i think

The vent mod is terrible. It makes the bass a bloated mess.

I've tried to mod a number of T2s in various ways. I have never been able to get anything better than how they came tuned stock.

If you want a bassy IEM, there are a million good ones to choose from. There's no need to mess up a great IEM like the T2.

Shot down again, weather delay due to storms in the Northeast. Going to be next week. Not NiceHCK's fault but I'm bummed.

It really makes me wonder about that red plastic "ZSE" triple driver (with the stainless rear cover) that is Estron's current flagship. It's pretty expensive (~$70), but like the other Estron IEMs (C630, C631, etc) it could theoretically punch way above it's price point. I'm just not willing to be the guinea pig on that one...
I found two reviews on the plastic EST ES633 on YouTube. This is the only source of live impressions about these earphones at the moment. There were also several customer reviews on Amazon, but I don't trust to promo-phrases like "What’s impressive is that for a price point of $70, I got quality in the $150-$200 mark."

20181116_095414_HDR.jpg Coming back to the HiFi Walker A7. I managed to get a second pair but unfortunately it isn't as good as the first one! The first one is more balanced, vocals and trebles are fab but the second pair is more boomy and that makes vocals less nice. Trebles don't extend so nicely either. I have tested it with the same source, cable, songs and tips. Even did the same burn in . Was wondering if anyone else has got similar experience or i simply got a bad one.
