It's only take one week for the item to reach my country, yet it has been another 2weeks the item was in my local postal office and they haven't deliver the item. I cannot pick the item since they haven't sort the item yet and they mix all package in their warehouse. It's been 3 weeks since the delivery date.

 
Perhaps the 11.11 sale caused it? They might have way more parcels than usual

Nah... It's been a habit of my country postal service. Late and late. If I want to get it faster I have to give some money to the officer in order to prioritize my package. Which I hate it because my the next parcel will be late again, so they can take more money from me.

Audio Tech CKR10?

ATH CKS1100....
 
So, the last couple of days I've got a bunch of new IEM's in. Initial thoughts on the ones relevant for this threas are as follow:
 
The Light (~$40):
5mm microdriver. Super small, extremely comfortable, harder than average to drive.
 
Sound is very nice, smooth and soft while still maintaing a good amunt of details. Bass hits harder than expected with very little bleed into the midrange.

Moni One (~$99):
Hybrid, 1DD+2BA. Detachable cables, great fit, pretty wide nozzle but long enough to still fitr safely in my narrow ear canals. Pretty easy to drive. 
 
Sound is very high quality with great resolution and speed. A bit on the bright side without going overboard. Pretty well balanced and less recessed midrang, less mid bass bleed and less harsh treble compared to another popular IEM in here. Very very good for the money.

LZ A4 (~$195):
Hybrid, 1DD+2BA. Detachable cables, 18(!) different filter combinations. Extremely comfortable to wear both over the ears and straight down. Easy to drive.
 
WOW, just WOW! These are seriously impressing so far. Very wide soundstage and amazing amount of air betweeen instruments. Smooth and yet detailed, great resolution without ever feeling harsh or fatiguing. Amazing bass reproduction, amount depends on the filters in use. I still got a lot of different filter combinations to test but I already feel that these belong up with the my abslolute best IEM's.

The LZ A4 does already have an dedicated thread for those who might be interested:

All three of these are really great offerings for their respective price (and beyond) and I intend to publish full reviews of them all within a couple of weeks. 
 
Edit:
I've been listening to a wide variaty of music through the Shanling M1 and Opus #1 DAP's.

Much appreciate your impressions, Bro!

Nice to see the words (bolded part) you have used for describing Moni ones's sound (now, I am genuinely stoked for their arrival).
 
BTW, mine are still in transit.  Hopefully, should get them before Christmas.

Hi everybody, my Xiaomi Hybrid died last week and i'm looking for a new iem to try. I didn't really like the Hybrid's sound signature as it was too bass-heavy for me and the treble were muddy. I think they're quite v-shaped? I was also annoyed with them because the eartips would fall off really often.
Anyway, i'm looking for more balanced/flat/neutral iems this time and i'm sure you can help me out. Budget is €30, but if it's really worth it i can justify €40 :p These will be used as a daily driver in my commute time. The volume/mic thingy is a must for me. I've seen some interesting units in this thread, like the Superlux, the new Hybrid Pro (i don't know about their sound signature tho) and the DT2+ also caught my attention (ofc when the qc issues are over), but i'm really counting on you guys' opinions :) Thanks in advance

Also, i'd like to buy on black friday/cyber monday. do you know if aliex sellers have sales or whatnot like for 11/11?
