The Mangird Tea is also in my list of prospects. Thanks!
Currently my favorite IEM. Imaging is also spectacular, at least compared to everything I’ve heard so far. Very holographic.

The LZ A7 is scheduled for a October release and it feels a bit more relaxed in the treble compared to the A6 while still maintaining excellent quality. It's quite unique imo with an extremely airy sound and fantastic separation. This is whith the prototype filters so hopefully the final version will be even better.

Interesting. If this turns out as a possible competitor against the likes of Mofa Trio then I might consider this, especially if the pricing is also competitive.

We are not quite sure about exactly how well it goes up against the Trio soundwise but the A7 pricing is $180 cheaper.

Saw this posted by Penon FB page, captioned only as "Penon Volt."

I see a dynamic driver, multiple BAs, and proper BA sound tubes with Knowles tuning dampers.

Nice!

EST is the future for trebles. Beyond great extension, very smooth presentation, very fast, detailed yet zero harshness, non offensive and non tiring. I know lot of manufacturer still playing and trying with EST tuning but the only thing i hear that need improvement is they need to be brave enough to give est more boost. Tune them and treat them like BAs made them a bit too smoothen, i know they scared if their tuning too harsh but EST is too smooth, need to have more boost than BA to have "bite" and "dynamic attack".
At least crin also commented similarly about ESTs on his review of monarch/clairvoyance.
Not washed out, but just a little more bite will be great IMHO

2020-09:04: Added the Tanchjim Oxygen rank S and review is up: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tanchjim-oxygen.23545/reviews#item-review-24263

Best single DD I have ever heard, in terms of SQ and technicalities. :thumbsup:

Also have a big change in my database, more info here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/rik...-list-statistics.925319/page-30#post-15843828
If you feel male vocals are lacking then try them with the tanchjim upgrade cable. From a bright signature it becomes dark and adds more warmth. I personally find it on a similar level to the kanas pro. Better vocals and highs on the kpe whilst the oxygens have a slight edge in technicalities, better bass and a slightly more spacious stage. My o2 have been left faulty for a good time now but if I can't repair them then I'll just sell them (would be a shame).

I've started a thread "My guilty pleasure IEMs/BUDs". Anyone brave enough to confess and go through the shame...... come and tell us. IEMs/BUDs under $40. No critiques, purely pleasure. You are in a confession booth.
