Quite interesting Amp released from TCG, It's named TCG AP6.
 
They've been making big sized amplifier for a while and they've recently started to make portable amplifier as well. 
 
The price is approx. $190. I'm planning to try these out.
 

 
 
I'm really not sure if I can do a great job writing impressions for these as I don't have that much experience with DAPs and AMPs. 

 
I'm thinking to ask another Head-fier to write the impression as well once I receive them. PM if anybody's interested.
 
Below's their website with additional pictures of AP6.

Just found some cheap earbuds that seem to be generating some buzz. From the description it seems like they have a focus on mids. For $6.50 they also come with a shirt clip and carry case. I wonder how these sound compared to the monk.

Take one for the team and order! I think its quite to beat the monks at $5

Would love to and may do so in the future but I'm already over my monthly quota.

My money is on the fact that the Bettes, i.valux, HLSX 808, as well as a few others that are likely to pop up, are ALL coming from the same Manufacturer. It's easy to fudge specs. to make them look like they are slightly different.
 
Today's specs are ridiculous anyways. You hear, (If you are Younger and LUCKY), 20Hz--- 20kHz. I would be VERY lucky at my age of 62 to hear 25-16khz, if even that.
 
Besides your source material isn't any better than human hearing capabilities anyways. (20-20kHz). I've heard that some of the frequencies spec'd by Hi Res stuff actually gets rid of some sonic debris and cleans up the sound a little. I've never noticed the difference.
 
JMHO
 

TWIN

 
I might, in a couple of weeks, purchase the Bette/i.Valux and see if there's a difference that I can write and share about. I will keep you informed if I decide to get them.
You still da man for bringing the Bette/i.Valux to my attention. Or else, I wouldn't have made the move to get the HLSX-808's. Thanks!

Very good perfomer in my book and it also has very nice bass without being overwheling. I prefer it over the Zircon and other extremely v-shaped offerings by a large margin but as always YMMV

 Paul,
 
    I really couldn't get a decent translation but it appears the amplifier is only 130mW at 32 ohms which is rather anemic for $190.  What do you see?

It's 210mW at 32 ohms actually.

Ok , **** UE are better than Rock Zircon ? Or I should buy xiaomi hybrid or xiaomi piston 33 ?

 

[Ahdiofyle]

I'm looking on easys store and some of these IEMs are pretty badass looking. Senfur UE? I think is the model plus a few custom others. I think I might bite the bullet and drop $100 and see what I get.

xiaomi hybrid in my opinion!

if you get the authentic ones..
burn them in for 150-200 hours and you will have a very good IEM!

from what i hear about the Zircon ..(i have had a chat with few reputable members)
they also are very fun and bassy but the are not audiophile grade IEMs..
they are good for casual sessions!
personally i will not categorize hybrids into consumer or audiophile grade .. but i can tell you that..
they manage to give life to the most minute detail without deteriorating the bass!
also the bass is one of the most deep and low extending bass i have heard!

they deliver great performance for the price!
i also would like to tell you that they are oriented towards more modern songs..
EDM , pop , rock .. etc!
if you are looking for an IEM for slow, soft and guitar oriented (folk music...etc etc)
they will have good instrument separation but will recess the vocals a tad bit!
(this is noticeable only when you are testing them with another mid friendly IEM..)

overall i would confidently recommend it!

i have heard the opposite for the hybrids, read they were a step down from the Piston 3.0 :/

i personally own the piston 3 and the hybrids!
its totally your call in case you prefer different sound .. acc to specified genres!
