FG for New Product KB EAR KS1!
Looking forward to its release!! :beerchug:

Sub-30 USD? Hoping it's a different shell than the KS2. Though the KS2 does look nice.

You plugging directly to your Smartphones?

I would like to yes. That's why I bought a portable one. I can also run it into my atom or vice versa then to mobile. How do I update the firmware
Ok, I still prefer a Dap over dongles and desktop small amp. Firmware auto updates easily OTA.

I have recieved yesterday my TRI Starsea, but those have anoying driver flex. When I'm moving them in ear cannal I can easy hear differences when air is moving into, and when is blocked (less or more bass). It's very difficult when you are moving with them in ears, because once I have seal, once i hadn't. Its almost unusable in portable usage.
I bought them in KB Ear official shop in Aliexpress. What I should to do? Only way to fix it to send them back?
I see inside is tube going straight to mesh (probably), so there's no secound vent (one is on shell and is opened)

Try eartips one size smaller or foam tips. The pressure build-up and popping problem disappeared for me after I replaced silicone tips with foams (Tennmak, in my case, but I'm pretty sure any will do).

It could fix bass problem, but will add treble harshness.. Now I'm wondering is it produced like that, and this thing is typical for this model or I have issue with mine unit

Aside from me there's at least one more used who's had driver flex issues in the Starsea, so it looks like this IEM's build is conducive to flex (though not everyone will get it for reasons of ear anatomy).

As for your other concern, the Tennmak foam tips have very minimal effect on sound. If you don't have them, you can order them on AliExpress. They are dirt cheap and they last forever.

Has the Moose escaped the paddocks of Head-Fi?

This slightly off-topic post might get his attention! :ksc75smile:

I don't like foams. I have tried now Sony Triple Comfort tips and with them sound is okayish... but I feel quite ""unsealed".
