Found a really promising looking DAP on eBay called the M220, anyone here tried it?

I would ask here, as the people that hang on that thread are the ChiFi DAP gurus: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/obscure-chinese-daps.720512/

I refer to those as "ball style" foams. I really like them as well. They fit my ears very comfortably, and allow deep insertion.

The other style of foams you run into are what I refer to as "wedge style" foams. Like Comply and similar tips. While the wedge style are nice, I prefer the ball style much more.

Here's the wedge style:

I picked up my Tennmak Pro after using my ZS5 for quite some time .

It's warm and relaxing with no fatigue. It's just a normal IEM but I would say it just works .

I call those Comply. I have a pair of Rock Zircon's that I never use. I tried them with a million tips and they never sounded as good as many of my others. I tried the "ball type" foam on them and now they sound great. $5 well spent. It's all about tips. When I get new headphones I listen very carefully with every pair of tips, usually about 10 types. Out of my top ten headphones there is only one pair where I ended up using the original tips!!

Finally got my hand on the Turbo Ear T7A, they sounded great, very large sound stage and the clarity surpassed my M1060 with good bass.
Now all I need is to figure out which tip sound the best.

The housing seems to be identical to the Idealist S1813 which is a nice player for the money. Unfortunately they don't show much from the UI of the M220 in those pictures.

Hi guys, looking for some advice. I need to buy a good isolating and comfortable IEM for my wife. She's been using the Fidue A31s for quite some time now but after some years of abuse the cable is breaking. She likes it, but would appreciate any advice on a better IEM within the same price/characteristics.

Thanks!

There is a new SVARA-Red IEM, really exciting given how positive the reception was for SVARA-L (Escase). Single dynamic at 50-60$. It's funny that we live in a world where single dynamic driver in IEM brings more attention than multi driver/hybrids.
Semi-open design if these lines are all open and not just hiding a small vent hole.

Same cable as the BGVP HTVBRHAKD123456 DN1. Good stuff!

That cable is around 10$, a standard MMCX cable (I know that **** uses them as well). Looks nice, even though a metal connector would look even better.

That cable is around 10$, a standard MMCX cable from Chum Buddy McGee (they could be just distributing them and not manufacturing, but I know that **** uses them as well). Looks nice, even though a metal connector would look even better.

That may be, but it's still a nice cable.

Agreed!

I realized a second later. Delete it fast from my quote, oh no xD

Fixed. All is see now is you naming a fantastic seller.
