They appear to have 1 dynamic driver + 2 BA drivers + 1 Piezo driver. Seems very promising.

U tried another cable with your set? It fixes the intermittent connection issue?

If it's a cable problem and your cable is not a high end one, I think it's better to find another cheap aftermarket cable from Aliexpress for a few bucks. Cables can be repaired but it's probably not worth the cost for cheap ones. 11/11 is coming up and there are a lot of cheap deals on AE. My personal favourite bang for buck cable is the NiceHCK 8 core copper cable @ $6USD + during the sale. It has 2 pin or MMCX variants, and even balanced variants.

Thanks for the advice but I am actually a bit bummed because it is the original IT01 cable that is causing the problem with the left side . The cheap mmcx from my **** works fine.

I realize Hisenior is selling a triple DD IEM called the Hisenior N3. Their rep says it is a basshead set, and there's a plastic shell version ($14 11/11 pricing) and a metal shell version ($18). Rep says there's no difference in sound between the 2 shell types, and it has detachable MMCX cables, which is not that common at this pricing.

...

This whets my basshead appetite, plus there's not much treble peak and looks affordable. I'm likely getting a set on 11/11. Anybody tried it before?
I hope the bass rattles my jaw until I get a headache!

I don't think anyone has tried them. SomeEntityThing posted about the NFJ branded variant and linked to a review a while back, and I followed up mentioning the NEX branded variant in post #20052:

You should go into the IT01 thread and discuss this. It has been a known issue and you might be able to get it fixed or replaced under warranty.

This fall has brought me a bountiful harvest of IEM goodness. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Nice. Although I have many things in my ali basket, I think I might just for the blon. For 11/11, the discounts don't seem that great anyway for many of my products.
Was going to fetch an earbud in the sub 50-70eu but I think it might be risky without much research, and out of the numerous TRN v90, CCA C12, KSX, I'm sure they'll be better models in a few months time.

HAHAHA, I'm currently learning about sound perception in my psychology course right now, and as an audiophile who has already acquired lots of sound knowledge from my venture into HiFi (and ChiFi), I understood concepts like harmonics and timbre like a pro

One thing in my course I found interesting really though was this:

The audibility curve illustrates the minimum amplitude (loudness) required to hear a certain frequency. Of course, you can see (and probably already know) that we are most sensitive towards the high-mids area (2-6Khz) and least sensitive on both ends of the spectrum.

This means that a flat frequency response isn't actually ideal for human hearing, something that the Harman Target proves and demonstrates. This also explains why a huge bump in the bass or in the upper treble might seem bad on graph, but is actually very tame on the ears.

also take into consideration the volume that you're listening to, as that would change how you hear frequencies {Fletcher - Munson curve)

my rule of thumb is, V shaped signature is good for low volume listening and tends to do better for noisy environments, while mid-centric and neutral signature are better for higher volume listening and in a more quiet /controlled environment.

so i always treat earphones like tools or golf clubs: there's no ultimate best, each has it's own uses...although there's no one stopping us from using only one club to finish the entire course

I'll take one for the team and order the Hisenior N3 on 11/11. I'm always up for more basshead sets, and at $14 - 18 USD for a triple DD set, it's an offer that cannot be refused LOL.

Have ordered one as well. $18 version. Now the wait begins. It'll take around 45 days for it to reach me so there's a chance that you might get before me. Lol

I ordered **** Pro earlier today and I'm looking forward to see how they sound. I'm a big fan of the non Pro version.

 

[DynamicEars]

I plan to get these: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/40003...aqWg1WGkye32KgmBumu4krs0ObMzaJroaAqpqEALw_wcB
Does anyone know much about them? I really love the non-pro version of these. They're apparently for pre-sale right now.

Sweet! Im gonna take them too!

Similar with my last month grabs. Enjoy mate!

Crazy price, hopefully they are great and shock us again like the blons

The **** was released more than 6 months ago. What are the odds of a updated **** being released ? (Maybe with better tonality/timber)

I knew it. After I bought a spare **** !

Just got the Blon 03 in my ears.. quite heavy on the bass, maybe it's because I need foam tips on them? I love the shallow fit on them though, very comfy.

Overall I'd put them in a similar tonality and frequency response curve to my mh755 (a touch more bass, again I'm using foams compared to the stock sony tips on the mh755)

They can be too bass-heavy depending on the configuration. For me, using a silver-plated cable and some no-name tips, the bass is exaggerated. Using a copper cable and Spiral Dots, the overall sound is quite balanced. I am using the E1DA 9038S (highly recommended), so my cables are balanced. In my opinion, straight out of the box, these don't reveal their potential.
