Has anyone tried the Bamboo Forest Bird Larks (Chinese: 竹林鳥 百靈)?

They're a $15 bullet style IEM with MMCX connector from a fairly new company.

There was one post about them on this forum, but it seemed suspiciously positive.

I wouldn't be suspicious, the post was by a member that I think can be trusted

Haha, that person was me. :wink::thumbsup:

I still highly recommend them, but I just can't get the seller to sell them through Aliexpress, Penon Audio, or other overseas online stores since they're so new at trying to market their own products. Unfortunately, the only way to get them is through their Taobao online store or other partner Taobao stores from China. Even though they do deliver globally from their own store, unless you know Chinese, the other possible way to get them is through an agent from Taobao that will order them and get them delivered for you.

But, I still hold in high regards the BFB Larks as one of the best sounding budget IEM's by far this year and are right up there with my top five best sounding hybrids and tribrids. Right now, it is a stellar budget IEM for the their low asking price in China with positive reviews growing as fast as they're being sold.

So far, they've made three in-ear earphones.

BFB Amazing
BFB Lark
BFB Nightingale

...and soon, a fourth one with BA Armatures.


PS. No need to be suspicious, I just like to keep people informed of what goes on with some of the latest Chinese made IEM's here in China.

I know it's pretty old but I was kinda curious so I snapped up an old QDC Neptune 2nd hand.

Ended up reviewing it here

Aaaand yeah, based on this and what my circle's said about the Uranus QDC has to up their lower level offerings to be competitive, especially considering Chi-fi today. Would love to try some of their higher-end stuff one day so I can really figure 'em out as a brand

Hi Bryan, fancy seeing you here!

For me, my current one is the Audiosense DT300. I also reviewed the DT600 but something about that uncolored reference neutral on the DT300 makes me absolutely go crazy for it.

DT300 is a fantastically resolving set though, with excellent soundstage. Great for ~180$

KZ AS10
Somehow the folks that made this IEM must have known how good it sounded by listening to this offering before release. Listening to them now gives a room effect that is cohesive, presenting a good 3D image of the music that extends well outside your head, expanding the music into your whole field of view. "Look what we did with off the shelf parts and our skilled assemblers!," those KZ insiders must said , while obviously gloating.

Toneking Ninetails. This was the first IEM that started the tunable nozzle thingy.

It has nine potential sound signatures from V shaped to U shaped to neutralish. So very versatile. Very good timbre, but technically maybe not as good as some modern day $100 sets. But the nozzles really work, they ain't gimmicks, the most bassy config can really rattle the jaw, whereas the neutralish bright ones have good treble extension.

Due to the open backed design, the Ninetails have superb soundstage, but very weak isolation. It also looks weird but actually is very comfortable once you know how to wear it. A keeper for me.
