Tin T4 is here, and I kinda like the sound of it. So far, a bit on the bright side, but otherwise very balanced tuning. In typical "balanced" fashion though they've killed the sub-bass extension and mid-bass thump, so yes, no more 80's Retrowave for me while listening to these. Review coming within the next two weeks.

Now just need Moondrop Starfield for the ultimate under $100 showdown.

On another note, I noticed that the mmcx jack on the cable side doesn't sit firmly in the socket (on the IEM side) and thus it wobbles. This is the first time I've seen such a behavior on an ~$100 IEM and I must say I'm having second thoughts already. Gotta open a return ticket on Amazon just in case. Is the "mmcx jack wobbling" issue common in T4? Can other T4 owners confirm this?

I can confirm that, mine's like that too.

Yes, I have the same problem on the T4 with the stock cable. No problem though with a Hi-fi Hear cable and a Faaeal Hibiscus MMCX cable. I agree with your thoughts on the sound signature too although sub bass is fine on them for me. Funnily enough, the T4 cable works really well with my Shuoer Tape!

Looking for a cheap set for gaming. I have the Blob and Shozy 1.1 and they are amazing for music listening, but they’re not doing it for me for soundstage and 3D space. I have the Diamonds, I could try them, but I get quite a bit of mid and treble bleed on them so I’m currently selling them and hope to replace with a gaming set.

TRN BA5, but beware the QC issues and buy from Amazon.

I’ve looked around, can’t find the zs7 anywhere, just the zs6.

Sorry, that link is to an item out of stock. The ZS7 seems to be unavailable at the moment.

Yea, just lurking here at home as well. I'm mostly working from home in China online and hoping to go back to work by April, but who knows if when, IMHO. I still need to update some final touches on my profile page, but haven't had the chance with all that's going on between the outbreak, work and my family.

Finally the Urbanfun YBF-ISS014 are starting the get the recognition they deserve. I've been using them with wide bore "spiral" tips lately (like these or these) and the detail/soundstage is incredible. It cuts down on the bass slightly but given how bass heavy these are from the start, it might even be for the better.
