Hello friends, the Aliexpress Summer Sale is starting on Jun 15, 12:00 AM PT, this is confirmed on their site. Sale prices are already forecasted! These are the lowest deals I've found while browsing Aliexpress, prices in USD.

Please feel free to add any good deals you guys see so we can all benefit as a community. If there's any lower prices than these, please also share with us! Sale prices are before stacking coupons, and occasionally prices are even lower if you follow some stores. 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 T180/T260/T300 - $34/53/96 respectively
Audiosense AQ3 - $152
Audiosense T800 - $268 ---> lowest I've seen it go for firsthand. Usually $298 USD. There's a new flagship called AQ7 coming soon, so possibly wait for reviews on the AQ7.
BLON BL-03 - $24
BLON BL-05 - $38
BQEYZ Spring 1 - $111 ---> u might wanna wait for reviews of the new Spring 2 that is supposedly launching soon. In general the sellers will clear the older models at cheaper pricing to make way for the newly launched gear, but the new gear will probably not be discounted significantly (if at all).
CCA C12 - $29
CCA C16 - $70
CCA CA16 - $51 (not to be confused with the CCA C16 which is a pure multi BA setup. This CCA CA16 is a newer model that just launched and is a hybrid).
CVJ CSN - $50
FAAEAL Datura Pro - $22 (earbud)
FAAEAL Hibiscus - $37
Hisenior B5+ - $76
ISN D10 - $148
KBEAR Diamond - $67 ---> lowest I've seen it go for firsthand. Usually $79 USD.
KBEAR KB04 - $25
KZ ZS10 Pro - $30
KZ ZSX - $33
LZ Z04A from $23 to 18 ---> tip courtesy of @RikudouGoku
LZ Z05A from $25 to 21 ---> tip courtesy of @RikudouGoku
LZ A6 - $209 ---> lowest I've seen it go before coupons. I think there's a new LZ A7 in the works, so possibly stock clearing time.
LZ A6 Mini - $51 ---> also lowest I've seen it go.
Moondrop Blessing 2 - $319
NiceHCK DB3 - $15
NICEHCK M6 - $76
NICEHCK NX7 Pro - $85
Shozy Form 1.1 - $67
Shozy Form 1.4 - $179
Shuoer Tape - $116
SMABAT ST10S (black silver) - $80 (earbud)
SMABAT ST10S (black gold) - $126 (earbud). ---> black gold is supposedly better sounding, higher impedance, so needs amping.
Tanchjim Cora - $47
Tanchjim Oxygen - $219
Tempotec Sonata HD Pro - $31 (Amp/DAC dongle) ---> super good deal, I bought one at the last Aliexpress sale @ $33 with stacking coupons and it is one of my recent 10/10 purchases. It can upgrade the sound in a humble smartphone/desktop to close to that of my desktop setup for cheap. I am most likely getting a second pair this sale as a backup. The hard part is sneaking a duplicate audio gear past my wife in the mail box.
TinHIFI T2 - $32
TinHIFI T4 - $89
TinHIFI P1 - $150
TFZ No. 3 - $90
TFZ Tequila - $66
Toneking Ninetails - $111
TRI I3 - $147
TRN BA5 - $39
TRN V90 - $26
TRN VX - $65
Yincrow RW1000 - $69 (earbud)

Seems the hyped gear like Moondrop Starfield, ISN H40 and Audio Legacy 3 ain't on sale, but u can stack coupons with them to bring down the price a bit. Amazingly, Urbanfun YBF-ISS014's base price has even increased this sale LOL (do they know what is the meaning of the word sale?)

Happy shopping, sorry about your wallet in advance!

To me, even with the A7 on the horizon, the A6 is just an excellent value at $209. I doubt they'll have trouble clearing stock at that price.

True, but the A7 was supposed to have a different tuning right? If that is the case it isnt a "waste" to get the A6 as well.

Edit: And maybe the A6 filters will fit the A7?

I'm skipping these sales, saving up for LZ A7 because it sounds to be like super versatile. I mean, a tri-hybrid with a new two layered piezo driver with nozzle filters, multiple tubes made of different materials, and on top of that switches to play with the BA drivers, that sounds super interesting to me.

Yeah that one sounds like its gonna be great. But since it does have a piezo driver, not everyone is gonna like the unique sound that it produces. Just like with the Shuoer Tape and similar iems with more "exotic" drivers :joy:

For me, I’m now torn between the Penon Orb, the Blessing 2, and the Mangird Tea. I may end up having to get 2 of the three.

I keep telling myself that I need to save up and just get a TOTL IEM, instead of having so many less expensive ones. That is often the right thing to do. The thing is, however, there is no one ideal IEM, and for variety, we need multiple different units. Lastly, some of these IEMs in the $300 +/- range can compete with many TOTL products.

Mangird Tea, a special iem indeed

Has anyone come across a larger value site-wide coupon that can be used on the upcoming aliexpress sale, other than the USD$10 one you get playing the "energy lab" game?

I might just pick up the Mangird Tea, especially if there are other finishes available.

Me too. I’m just wanting to roll the dice again. I bought the L3 early on before the user reviews came in. So very glad I did.
