Yeah it looks beautiful indeed. FR looks painful at the upper mids and is a bit basshead to boot, but then again from what other audiophiles tell me, planars are quite power hungry, so in actual listening I suspect the peaks may not be as harsh as the FR looks.
Here are my short impressions for the PaiAudio DM2A In-Ear Monitor;
The DM2A is a nice looking In-Ear Monitor with a well tuned V shaped sound signature that offers a good detail retrieval and musicality with a clean midrange and fast bass response that performs in my opinion above its price range.
I personally prefer the King Edition over the No.3 due to the clearer midrange and crispier treble. The overall expression is more open and detailed on the King Edition.
Well, my ear probably wouldn't really able to tell how much different they are from each other unless I listen to them back to back in this case. It'll be just like when I compared my T2 Galaxy with my No.3. Both sounds very identical in my ear, only the no.3 had a slightly bigger soundstage, faster bass decay and a bit more boomy than the T2 Galaxy.
So I guess my decision to cancel the purchase of King Edition was still fair since it'll be just a side grade to the no.3, not a very significant one. I'll not miss a lot.
Actually, that is NOT the usual chifi 2-4khz peak where you have a peak at 2k and 4k. From what I see the peak is centered at 3Khz and drops quite rapidly as it rises, looks more like Etymotic (diffuse field) tuning with sub-bass boost and bit more energy in the upper treble. Looks interesting for me, but I need unbiased (not product launch) reviews before I fully get behind it. I think this is a Kbear model? I am a little tired of the shiny bling bling chrome look of 2019. I much prefer a flat paint/machined look as it is less gaudy looking.
very curious driver array--from my experience with floorstanders, integration with planars and dynamic speakers is tough--i'm anxious to hear how these sound
Just a question for bluetooth users, is true wireless bluetooth adapters ( TRN BT20/BT20s) worse when it comes to sound quality compared to "normal" bluetooth adapters? The ones with a band/cable between them.

In Theory the cable between means you only need one BT stereo receiver chip, and the cable can act as an antenna improving signal reception sensitivity. So, should be easier to design a better quality BT Earphone with the cable.
*** But there are a lot of cheap/poor quality ones made with the cable between. It does not define a great BT earphone or BT receiver.
Given enough time, I’m sure someone will come out with a 4xBA, 2xDD, 2xPiezo 1xElectrostat, 1xPlanar, that comes with an integrated amplifier you wear around your neck.
