Thank you. I’m not a twitter user so would never have found it. Sounds interesting, will have to wait for pics and specs before considering it though.

Seems like a strange way to advertise something to me, especially as it’s limited to 500 and over half have already gone!

An excellent example of Guerilla Marketing! Hype it to the Moon without even providing a picture. Some people will believe it blindly.
We'll see (or not).

Hi all, I hope you don't hate recommendation requests too much, and well if you do, I've learned for next time! I want to get a $50-150 IEM that is not over-ear. While I have a fair bit of confidence, I don't have quite enough to be the only one on my college campus wearing earphones that style. I'm pondering the 1more triple driver, but all the amazon reviews about how they break or grow defective in the first few months have got me scared. I would love any suggestions!

EDIT: I'm looking for a headphone that prioritizes overall quality and durability. The sound curve/signature isn't as important for me as long as it isn't blatantly wacky (but perhaps this factor should be higher on my priority list). If I'm being choosy I do love strong base and vocals.

Perhaps you can consider something with filters? This way, it is more versatile because you can change the filters to tune the sound.

People be thinking "it's very late 2017, this was it, Chris has released all reviews for this year". People be wrong. Chris has released a review of a small and very affordable Bluetooth speaker that I got as a gift, the EasyAcc LX-839. In theory, it sounds like an awesome little thing - cheap, Bluetooth, micro SD slot, AUX in, headphone (/line) out, built-in FM tuner. But in reality, it sucks quite a bit - the volume buttons share their function with the skip buttons, and the skip function has the higher priority, so you have to hold down the buttons in order to change the volume (the other way 'round would have been much more convenient). Then this stupid thing doesn't remember its volume setting after switching modes or turning it back on, and resets to a default high-ish volume setting. In addition, the line in is not a 3.5 mm socket but shared with the micro USB socket wherefore you have to use a proprietary cable (that is however included) for it. And last but not least, the FM tuner works only if you plug in the proprietary USB cable, since the stupid speaker has got no built-in antenna.

My extended thoughts on the LX-839 speaker can be found here, in German language, but as always with a translator widget below the navigation bar: http://kopfhoerer-lounge.blogspot.com/2017/12/easyacc-lx-839-bluetooth-lautsprecher-review.html

On a related note, my original review of the Zorloo ZuperDAC-S was re-posted to Head-Fi: https://head-fi.org/showcase/zorloo-zuperdac-s.22836/reviews#review-19645

..., as was my original review of the Cowon Plenue J: https://head-fi.org/showcase/cowon-plenue-j.22835/reviews#review-19637

Perhaps the Tronsmart is better....got the T2 and T4, T4 fit in a pocket and product quite impressive and loud sound, but I prefer the bigger T2, hes a very good friends of mine,especially for impressive BT reception that can go up to 20m without problem, wich no other BT stuffs give me. micro sd slot is kind of absurd, cause it sound less good than BT (should be opposite) and you cannot change folder so....anyway, this is pure toy or pratical ''sound okay'' speakers.

I read your review and was impress to find that you look like to still very enjoy your Ibasso DX90, because after 3 years hes still a big boy among DAP I think, proof is that lot of high end DAP still use the ES9018 dac. Can I know what other DAP you have and why you still love so much your DX90???

From the consensus of the reviews the Hibiki was very good but not epic. Had potential and thus the demand for an audiophile version:) Needs to be another IT01 as far as a must try and very popular(better sounding would be great for the same $100-ish price). Needs a choice of mic or no mic. If they go audiophile this time does that mean dropping the mic cause that is what audiophiles usually want. Just give both options.

New version needs to be mmcx so you have more choice in cables. The biggest thing for me on the Hibiki was it could use a rethinking of the bass. To me extension was good but rolled off and both sub-bass and mid-bass were recessed. I'd like to see them brought forward a bit to balance the rest of the signature. (Particularly the sub-bass, I could survive with the mid-bass as it is).

Obviously from the pic that MMCX is a no-go :) There is always this though...
