Holy crap that was fast. What do you think of them as I like mine?
Super early impressions, but these are REALLY good on genres its meant for but REALLY bad on those that it isnt meant for. It makes male vocals sound like Gods and female vocals like godesses, and the bass is quite good actually. I was expecting the bass quantity to be like my Tin T3/P1 which is very bass light, but it has enough for the kind of songs its suited for. Not enough sub-bass specifically for EDMs and the like. Highs also quite good and none fatiguing. Mids are the focus and it has really good quality and very balanced between male and female vocals, Gonna declare it right now but this is the BEST mids in all of my iems.

Suited for slow music and vocal focused. ( THEY SOUND REALLY GOOOOOOOD). BUT!!!!! genres/songs with alot of things going around like Rock,pop, (some hip-hop) and metal sounds CRAP, seriously If you only listen to those then turn away because it sounded like a giant mix of mudd. ( This is quite serious since I can handle Blon 03s bad separation, but the T2 doesnt even compare in how bad it is in that).

Gonna be an iem I will use definitely, but for specific genres/songs only.

(Litterally just like 10 minutes of listening, my full review will probably be done next week)

Yeah for these midcentric sets, they ain't gonna be versatile or all rounder IEMs. I don't have the Hisenior T2, but my Hisenior B5+ is similarly midcentric and these midcentric specialists are best suited for vocals, unless u wanna play with EQ. Purists might say no to EQ and that the mids are overly coloured, but it's kinda hard to go back to the common V shaped CHIFI once u heard a lush midcentric tuning for vocal genres. Agree other genres will benefit from a differently tuned IEM, but I still keep my Hisenior B5+ around specifically for vocal music. IMHO I think every aspiring audiophile should have at least one midcentric tuned set in their collection for their journey to reach audio nirvana.

Yup, that's what I was getting from my Avara Av1s. They are very mid centric so if you play other song that are not meant to them, they will not sound as good as all rounder IEM

The Chinese Tabao site says one DD four BA
Is it still a beryllium DD? I can't seem to find that anywhere, if not, that's disappointing....

No it doesn't say at all it's a Beryllium. The reviews in Chinese are generally positive, saying it's a big improvement on 1.1. But so far they are all general reviews and not specific on how they are improved. Mine is still running in........ Plus I have not tried 1.1 so I can't really comment :triportsad:

Just received the KB EAR diamond and first impression is very promising. It sounds really clean and crisp with good impactful and textured bass. Timbre is pretty spot on as well. Only the soundstage is bit smaller than my current rotation of IEMs. (ISN H40, TRI i3 and Tape)

That's how I hear it too. A really good value iem. I haven't noticed any change with extended use either, despite what some people have claimed.
