Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

I have received my Rose Mini2 today and I got what I expected from the positive reviews here on head-fi. I am quite impressed what I hear out of my Onkyo DP-S1 and with the stock foam tips and cable. Very good IEM's for the asked price.
So I wonder what are the Mini6 or the newly released Mini4 able to deliver if they are expectable updates to the little bro?
Has anyone already those?
Do some of the reviewer plan to get those and write reviews in the near future?

I have the rose mini6 and love the sound just not the tips sliding off and remaining in my ears
Would you consider the Mini6 to be quite balanced, coherent, natural, close to reference sounding IEM's like the Mini2 are described?
Can you please share your sonic impressions on these? Thanks

Anyone know who the people behind the Moni One are, and did they follow it up? All I get when I punch that into Google is that one review from @peter123 a while back. Might be getting a used pair of those through another Head-Fi member but I can't see any other products of theirs around; was it just a one-off or have they done anything else since?

The rose mini 6 have a very natural sound. I use triple tips on them and they remind me of my Unique Melody Miracles but with a fuller sound

Hey all

a question here

I love the clarity and details on my Noble Audio Sage, I just need a little bit more presence in lower frequencies without spoiling the whole "picture" : ))) so any advise what to get from Chinese/Asian offerings? something under 300 - 350 $ ?

cheers

JVC FW01 would be a great choice! Awesome bass and great overall performance.

You could try the lz A5 or wait for the it04 from ibasso.

I have been trying different cables on my Zodic Audio ET2201 IEMs (DM5). I prefer the silver plated cable of the two supplied with the IEMs, and then I tried a different silver plated cable which softened the treble and tightened the bass, although at the same time reducing the volume. I then tried the cable supplied with my Whizzer A15 pros, this is a 6N OCC cable of high quality and it sounds great. There is more sparkle in the treble without harshness and the overall sound is more natural and balanced. The volume is back to where it was before. Layering is excellent.

Was this set-up running through a phone & Fiio A5, Topping NX1A or straight through your Sony NWZ A15?

Any idea what the impedance on that Whizzer cable is?

I am using a Hifiwalker H2 DAP and a Fiio A5 amplifier connected by a Fiio L16 cable. I'm afraid I don't know the impedance of the Whizzer OCC cable, although judging by the increase in volume it could be lower than the silver plated cable.

They look like the Sony MH1C with better cables, and pretty much the slim form factor of the Final Audio E2000/E3000.
I've searched the european and U.S. sites and there is no info about these yet. Hope we'll see some impressions about these soon. Cheers, thx for posting.

thank you for your input !

LZ A5 was my choice some time ago, but after reading so much about treble issues I'd better wait for new filters ti be released or will just stay away from it. IT04 will cost 500$
FW01 looks interesting, need to make some reading !

some more suggestions ?
cheers
