I need https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01AWZEC5G/ to go on sale so I can justify picking it up for my favorite chinese IEM.  Totally overkill for the price, but I still want it.

Confirmed with the seller that it is indeed metallic body. My mistake coz i nvr feel or had IEM with metallic body that light before, probably some kind of alloy. And ya i did chew it too so metal it is.@TwinACStacks@crabdog@peter123@Ahmad313

Nice, that makes it more appealing to me!

  Both my DBA-02 MkII and my LZ-A2S arrived in the mail today so I decided to play around with them while the 4in1 is burning in.
 
Initial thoughts:
 
BA treble is definitely harsher than DD treble as evidenced as by all 3 IEMs. However, the 4in1 is still the harshest, as of this moment, though I will need to listen to them after they finish burning in.
 
Still using MJ - Billie Jean for initial impressions, being fed through my Encore mDAC
 
LZ-A2S: Detail....is not its strong suit. Michael almost comes across as spitting his words in this song. Mids are less recessed than the 4in1. Treble is less harsh, but still sparkly. Bass extends well, both mid and sub bass.
 
DBA-02 MkII: Detail....is its strong suit. Relatively flat sound signature. Almost no sub-bass. Mid-bass is tight and punchy. Lyrics come across very clearly and presented well. Treble is airy, sparkly, bordering on harsh, but not quite 4in1 harsh. Kinda what I expected a dual BA IEM to sound like.
 
Pop songs: Would listen to either the 4in1 or the LZ-A2S, will know more when I do a head-to-head.
 
Critical Listening: DBA-02 MkII all the way.
 
I wonder when the Chinese IEMs will challenge the top multi-BAs on clarity and detail.

 
Try Sirus

They already does. You just have to pay more than $50 to get there. I don't know what the DBA-02 MK2 is but if it's the Fischer ones they're four years old and that's a lot when it comes IEM's. Especially Chinese ones get better almost every month.....

There are already BA iems look at Pai audio. Thing is good BA drivers from Sonion and Knowles are expensive.

The DBA-02 is supposed to be the same as Brainwavz B2 if I'm not wrong. They use TWFK-30017 Dual BA

Too bad the paiaudio ones aren't great in the details for a multi-BA according to the reviews.

Yeah, not really impressed with the paiaudio iems.

  Really great to hear that. Glad I didn`t get A73 because I`m really happy with 4in1.
Guys, if You have, use JVC Spiral Dot tips and deep insertion(if possible) and tryalso other mmcx cables.
I use S.D. tips and Tennmak Upgrade cable - result is no way harsh treble but still very detailed and clear sound.

Which Tennmak upgrade cable?

I`m using translucent white SPOFC without mic:

Let I quote myself about the VIVO XE800. Thinking of ordering them. Here they are only $3 but I dont trust it, does anyone know? http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-In-ear-Music-Earphone-W-Mic-Headphone-For-VIVO-XE800-iPhone-7-6-Samsung-S6-/151752305190?var=&hash=item2355246a26maYD1PYhk9Cp2huWqdC1qlQ
 
Why there should be fakes? I might order them, if theyre fake, eBay will refund nonetheless.

I dont see many people talking about the Somic V4. But the few reviews there are say wonders about them.

Are they really that good?

 
Don't wanna hype them but they are excellent and currently my favorite IEMs. Neutral sound sig with small emphasis on bass. I compared them with the similarly priced 1More Pistons 2 and the V4s are better imo. Great bass impact, smooth mids, non-sibilant treble with microdetails. Bought them at GB for around $18, a no-brainer.

There's no way they'll be originals at that price IMO.

If they are though they'll be the bargain of the century.
