Seems like **** are preferred IEM. Been thinking of getting a pair but never used aliexpress. Was wondering what people use for payment like a Visa gift card type of burner card. Dont want to use my normal credit card or bank card. Tried searching for them on Amazon but they are not there.

I have a card I exclusively use for online purchases only. I capped the credit limit at a fairly low amount, so in case it’s stolen there’s not much damage that can be done (not that I’d be responsible for the fraudulent charges anyways).

Having a separate card makes it easy to identify and change at the 1st sign of trouble. All activity related to the card (by me or anyone else) generates instant alerts to my phone. Never had a problem.

Although now Aliexpress accepts PayPal, which would be even more secure. They didn’t years ago.

That's what I figured. Thanks for confirming that and I'll look in to a card for just that. First still have get the ones you recommend for me. It's nice to know there are good sounding iems that doesnt have to break the bank. Again I thank you for your input and experience.

PayPal is my option too. And not sure if everywhere, but apart of this, in Spain you can have VISA rechargeable cards. You can put just the amount of money you need to pay your purchase, most times just before is needed, and leave it with e.g. 5€ when is not in use. I do it with bank app.

My take on the Lypertek Bevi. A nice everyday carry iem with a light bass expression, personally prefer this over the Final E3000. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always! :)

Is it just me, or does anyone else think those look like grease guns for Zerk fittings? :ksc75smile:

If you have a Citi credit card, you can generate temporary credit card numbers with spend and expiry limits.

Genius! About time someone came up with this feature!

I just randomly happened to notice that a seller on amazon.com is selling the green version of the TFZ Series 2 for $10 with Prime shipping. I wasn't even in the market for them, but figured I couldn't pass up that price. The cable, carrying pouch, and tips are probably worth that price.

I wanted to thank you for sharing this, my Series 2 arrived and it was definitely $10 well spent. They are an ugly green but sound great for the money and seem very comfortable.
