Haha. Nice.

Well they are not bright and harsh in treble contrary to many reports, it's just that they have a very controlled bass, unlike most of the bloated until vomit competition (*cough* blon *cough*) so they appear maybe bright for ppl accustomed to v-shaped.
Hibiscus can be bought for ~$45 during 11.11 with coupons and discounts. As a sub 50 DLC IEM it's very tempting. I've got my eyes on them for sure. Might have to ditch BT20S for this month thanks to my miser wallet. **** Pro is already in the way along with N3+ so 11.11 is solely focused on Hibiscus. Hoping to find a sweet deal with coupon stacking and all that jazz.
I think Blon and Tin complement each other very well. BLON is much bassier and slightly more musical. Tin is more detailed. Both respond well to amplification. If you want to drive from a phone, buy one or the other and put the money towards a cheap amp.
Anyone tried the Tiandirenhe TD2? Around $30 CDN (including shipping) for a supposed Knowles ED 26784 BA driver + dynamic... sounds a bit too good to be true when the Audiosense T180 is a single Knowles that's around $60 CDN in contrast.

The cheapest price I see is $55 for 11/11. Can you please tell me how to get even a lower price?
So I decided to buy the Tin T2 and Blon 03 for 11/11. I thought those two are different enough to buy two instead of buying one IEM for double the price.. or?
Anyways, the big 11/11 sale is not as big, obviusly, since the prices have been lower just a few weeks ago.
Also, people are saying to wait for the Tin T4 because it's the next best thing, as always with Chi-Fi, but from what I'm seeing, the price will be around $100 and it's a single DD. I know more drivers don't mean better but the T2 had two DD. Is it really worth to pay for times more for T4?
Any recommendations? I've been thinking about getting an amp for a bit.
I don't understand why. All of your iems was massive hyped before, and it was feeded by lot of words.As soon as I hear the word GuideRay I switch off tbh. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same about BLON and for the same reason.
I'll put it here. As i see GuideRays are still uncovered on Head-fi, and they can be good purchase on 11.11. For me all of those minuses on review are pluses.
You can clearly hear tonal balance diferences and clarity.
GuideRays have some sybilance apearing before burning-in. After that is smooth.I guess it depends what sound signature u prefer and what are the usual genres of music u listen to, cause it's comparing apples and oranges, the different tranducer types have their strengths and weaknesses. The guideray will probably win in clarity as it is a hybrid with a dedicated BA driver, compared to the single DD BLON. Plus the BLON needs aftermarket eartips +/- cable, +/- good source to sound good, rather than just out of the box.
I was pretty interested in the guideray until I saw most FR and reviewers reported a harsh/bright treble, which is the tradeoff for getting more details in the treble frequencies. So nothing right or wrong, we all have our opinions and preferences for tuning, I think more good CHIFI options at the sub $50 USD range can only be beneficial for us consumers.

Cons of Blon is that highs roll-off, and separation and holography isn't the best.
I'm listening electronic generes, like berlin techno, psy-trance, idm, ambient.
Which options? I'm really intrested in
