Coming soon: Whizzer Kylin HE01. Looking forward to this one.
I have both TD08 and DQ6 as well.I just burned 50h my TD08. Before leaving them 1 more day. I tried some tracks. I must (and afraid) to say I like them more than my new DQ6.
I listen to some Trance tracks and these are definitely for people who love the bass department. V-shaped, mids and treble are clear. I'm a bit treble peak sensitive so like it!
The bass and sub-bass are the stars where TD08 shines! I feel like on the stage of a concert between huge monitors, and the vibrations go all over my head. And it is no harsh! - imagine velvety liquid chocolate hitting you and you need a spoon more and more
PS I'm comparing them with what I have so till now these just hit the spot for me!

Anyone compared kbear lark to ks1??
brain burn you mean?the 3DD needs at least 100h burn
I guess ks1 has to compete with cca csn, trn ta1, and possibly dq6. While Kbear lark will compete with heart mirror and ssr. I want to buy them all, lol! I already ordered the heart mirror, do you think kbear lark make sense after that? Also I don't know whether you have the csn or ta1, if you do what about csn vs ks1 vs ta1 (I already ordered csn.)?Very different kettle of fish, when comparing budget hybrids (KBEAR LARK) to single DD like the KS1. But tuning wise they are also different (KBEAR LARK is neutralish bright versus the V shaped KS1).
The KBEAR LARK has better technicalities like clarity, details, imaging, instrument separation. KBEAR LARK has better accessories but can be a bit too hot in the higher treble area for some. Timbre isn't the best when compared to single DD types and there is sibilance. This if assuming the LARK is the retuned version (there was an original release that had a 4K area boost).
KS1 has good organic timbre and tonality, but is bottlenecked at the technicalities department. The mids are also quite recessed with some midbass bleed, so not for mids/vocal lovers, but the treble is safe and non fatiguing/non sibilant. More of a set to sit back and chill to music rather than critical listening or for analytical listening.

Wait until you burn them in even more! They start sounding a lot, and I mean A LOT better!
CCA CSN ($15USD from aliexpress) arrived: 1BA+1DD simple config, wouldn't get this done wrong.
Out of box impressions, bass DD driver needs burn in for sure, out of box it’s muddy and uncontrolled. Except that CSN is one of fine-tuned IEM! Not a typical V-shaped, it’s rather neutral with bass boost.
size comparison to its sibling KZ DQ6, hard to see but it’s a tad bigger, but overall similar shape & size.
Highly recommended for entry model all-rounder.
-great coherence
-good imaging, good positioning
-OK resolution, need treble extension but it's 1BA after all.
-very warm sounding, I feel it's one of the best tuned CCA tonality, reminds me of a bit budget made version of CCA CA16 + air pods pro
- average to wider side of sound stage
-CCA/KZ FINALLY DONE SOMETHING WITH ITS CABLE, now it doesn't smell like a chemical plant at all!
Should be a good rival to TRN TA1 (same 1BA + 1 DD) as a coherent little entry model that works for almost any music! Only weakness is rather limited instrument separation, so for congested traffic, it would sound pretty up to its throat.
Sorry, Thie Audio legacy 3... it's hard to justify $120 for 2BA Knowles BA + 1DD..even with those fancy switches...I would just pay $15 and get this CCA CSN. not a huge difference there and here.
Do you think a wide nozzle mod able to fix the congestion?
