Yup! The ear tips' bore, whether they're narrow, wide, from side to side, or long, short from front to back can effect the overall sound presence of most IEM's. Plus, silicone, comply, or foam tips, which are different materials causes noticeable changes as well. Just make sure you always have a good seal, since any leakage of sound can cause a false presentation of its original sound signature.
Anyone here know something about the Lear IEMs, particularly the LEAR LHF-AE1d BE MKII?
The only info I got is from BGGAR/HBB.
The set is quite old from early 2017 yet there is no much info about it on the whole internet.

Mkii is new , they told me
Headsup, the Aliexpress Anniversary sale is due on 27/03/20. I just spoke to some AE sellers who confirmed it will be on.
Anyway, starting today, there's some coins to collect and games you can play on AE to accumulate coupons before the big day! The games may seem lame but they do give nice coupons, which can potentially stack.
The worthwhile coupon to get is the first one (aliexpress coupon) as it can stack with others and can be used in any store on any product (as long as minimum spend is hit). The select coupons are only for selected stores/items, and ain't as valuable.
Happy shopping for audio gear in a week's time!
Hi just to let u guys know, there's an Aliexpress Anniversary Sale on 27/03/20. As above, there are coupons and coins to be earned now (that above link was from another thread but it was to show the different types of coupons available). But this post here today is to update on some good deals I've seen (the 27/03/20 prices are already forecasted).
Please feel free to add any good deals you guys see so we can all benefit. If there's any lower prices than these, please also share with us! Sale prices are before stacking coupons, and these are lowest desktop prices I've managed to find (the Aliexpress app tends to give a few cents to dollars off), so with coupons and app use, potentially the deal may be even sweeter:
Audiosense T800 - $268 ---> lowest I've seen it go for firsthand. Usually $298 USD.
BLON BL-03 - $23
BQEYZ Spring 1 - $102 ---> this looks like a very good deal. Lowest I've seen it go, usually $139 USD. Hmm, very tempting.
CCA C12 - $30
CCA C16 - $68
FAAEAL Datura Pro - $23 (earbud)
FAAEAL Hibiscus - $42
KBEAR Diamond - $71
KBEAR Knight - $10 (earbud)
KZ ZSX - $37
LZ A6 - $209 ---> lowest I've seen it go before coupons. Too bad out of my budget this season.
LZ A6 Mini - $51 ---> also lowest I've seen it go. Previous best price was around $69. Hmmmmm. I think it might be firesale clearing stock time?
Moondrop Blessing 2 - $304
Moondrop Starfield - $104
NICEHCK M6 - $81
NICEHCK NX7 Pro - $87
**** - $17

The only difference I see is the MMCX connectors, nothing different from their description.
They are using beryllium coating and N50 magnets (same ones of the LCD-4), that's why I find them super interesting.

Form 1.1 at $64 is a steal.

I have ordered it 2 days ago with an Aliexpress coupon, a store coupon and some coins. Had to pay almost 62 euro which is like 66 us dollar (instead of 75 dollar).
Perhaps i should have waited to save a few extra bucks. The upside is but i will get it earlier. It is already on the way.

Preemptive congrats on your TRIs!
They’d be my pick as well but I’m going to try and sit this one out

That form discount is pretty neat
The Be mark ii listing on Amazon is from February 2018...

I think the LEAR AE1d Be MKII sounds great but my set has an MMCX problem.
The cable that comes with it has angled connector at the end of the cable and those just doesn't work for me so I decided to take them off and use my preferred cable that I got with my Magaosi DQ4. Well, I almost couldn't get the left connector out of the socket! I had to work at it for a couple of minutes. The right one did come out pretty easily but when I put in the right connector of my preferred cable into the MMCX socket, it tends to come out easily when I adjust the fit in my ear. No such problem with the left socket and connector. It comes out if I want to take it out but stays connected otherwise. I'd get the cheaper two pin model and buy a two pin to MMCX adapter if you have an MMCX cable you really want to use.
I'm even thinking of finding out if LEAR might consider making a custom of this model (the cheaper, original model is available as a custom and so is the Ti version, USD 257 vs 386 respectively). Getting the LEAR AE1d Be MKII means having to order directly from LEAR in Hong Kong or finding a seller with a good offer.
I think it's worth it but these were the most expensive IEMs I've ever bought. I paid $333 HK plus customs charges for it.
