oh wow, i was looking for this database for like a year now, thanks a lot haha!
I guess I should mention that I threw away the monk plus before I had my database. Its garbage....

X6 is my default rec for any iem guy coming to the bud world.

Any earbud recommendations apart of good old allmighty monk plus? Can't really use IEM due to my ear situations.
Tingo TC200 (5$), Vido (2$), Qian25 (4$), Qian39 (7$), emx500 (7$), Yincrow X6 (11$), Mrz Tomahawk (34$)

When using IEM, I have been using ER2SE for serious listening and KZ ZSR for casual listening.
Decided to upgrade KZ ZSR during the 11.11 sales.

It's my first time ordering IEM from China (Aliexpess - Shenzen audio). So I went with budget options (less than $150).
Following IEMs were in consideration:

Moondrop Aria
Moondrop Starfield
Thieaudio Legacy 2
Tripowin x HBB Mele
HZsound Mirror
TANCHJIM HANA

Ended up going with Moondrop Aria for few reasons.
1. Moondrop have IEMs that I want to try (Kato, Blessing 2), so trying out their lower model to see the fit, etc.
2. My general preference is neutral(ish) (HD 560s, ER2SE), Aria seems to be closer to Harmon target (similar to Galaxy Buds Plus), which should be fine but wouldn't want any more bass than that.
3. Really like the look of Aria. Fingers cross, it won't have the paint bubble issue that I have read on various sites. :pray:

Hopefully, the whole process turns out good because there are more IEMs from China that I want to try in the future. Timeless, Kato, Blessing 2, etc.
if you have 40$ left....buy a HZsound Mirror asap!
Perfect complement to Aria imo kinda End game really.

Legacy2 is underwhelming. Starfield is less refined and warmer than Aria, but i love them...kinda overpriced for nowadays standard though.

No thanks.
Oh....ok.
You're not a fan of BQEYZ?

I find KB100, KC2 and especially Spring2 quite excellent. Not so much the Summer.

Can't wait to hear their ''first'' single DD...(cause i have an old prototype of single DD-Piezo they never launch that was meh)
