I just posted this over at the discovery thread.

So I got a 3 BA offering from a brand called TSMR. i am very happy with the price performance ratio. Its too early for me to say anything about the sound. It has a unique tuning and has switches (i have all the switches ON) to change the sound. The mids are really great and so is the treble extension decent for the price. Fun tuning IMO.. Here are some more details .. LINK

Yup I have a bunch of those smaller buffer for my pens but as I thought about it, I remember having my pen body shoot across the room and shatter, Did you make those koa/watch parts cover on those buds? That picture gives me a ton of mod ideas for my acrylic IEMs that don't have sound holes on that part earpiece. Pens makers use about 15-25 coats of CA glue and then sand and buff them into a glass like finish. Nice way to "customize" your chifi IEMs. I thinking the Shozy Hibiki would make a great candidate for a curly koa upgrade

Nah, that was just an image I grabbed from Google. There are a lot of those "watch parts" multi-BA IEMs for sale on Aliexpress. Nice ones with 3, 4, 5, etc BA drivers and loads of different face plate options.

And yes, buffers (and grinders) can grab stuff from you and shoot it across a room (no matter if it's a large industrial upright one, a bench mounted one, or a small Dremel/Flex Shaft version). Back when I was a master jeweler, I actually had the last 1" my ring finger ripped off while buffing an extremely thick and heavy solid gold chain (like multiple ounces). Someone bumped me from behind, which lurched me forward into the machine slightly, the buffing wheel grabbed the chain (and my finger with it), wrapped it around the wheel, and spun it around at 3500rpms like a whirling death machine.

Impressively, the chain only had a few scratches on it once it was eventually untwisted from the buffer (because it was so heavy duty).

It's the same buffer I go in and use to polish some of my IEMs sometimes. Sure is faster than doing it by hand with the nail sanders

I put my review of the NICEHCK BRO online: https://goo.gl/rG3CMn

How would you compare the NICEHCK BRO to some of your favorite KZs? (from what I gather: ZSR, EDR1/2, HDS3, ATR)

QDC Anole series also has the same switches

There's also the LZ Big Dipper. A few chinese brands like to use the switches so people can alter the sound sig a bit (the BD offers it in bass-mid-treble switches, with each switch adding another $80 to the price)

Different. The BRO is more neutrally tuned with more forward mids. The BRO has a tighter bass. The EDR and HDS are warmer and fuzzier (but not as accurate)...comfort food...that's why we like them. The ZSR are somewhere in between the EDR/HDS and the Bro.

I find the ATR being in its own class. Nothing wrong with it - always a good listen. It is what it is. But some don't find the bass focussed enough.

Wow really? Have you ever tried DIYing this Ba drivers before? Just curious about it

P.S. As far as I know, no "brandname" produces an "expensive" earbud. The earbud must have been originally a Sennheiser design and none of their models has ever been above $60 if I am rightly. Expensive earbuds appear to come entirely from boutique companies.

Some examples are the B and O earset. Sennheiser has also made the MX980 and Audio Technica has made earbuds such as the CM707. All were above $60. Its just that earbuds aren't as popular as headphones or iems hence the reason there aren't that many from non specialized brands.

I just checked sennheiser.de. All they currently offer in terms of earbuds are the MX365 for 15 Euros. Wonder why...obviously, they didn't sell enough of the more expensive ones.

Hopefully, I'll be receiving this nice package (separate purchases) just on time for fathers day!

dodocool hi-res ear phones and dodocool hi-res player to go with it!

Probably the cheapest hi-res package out there!

I've had those IEMs for a year. I like them a LOT. Titanium drivers, and surprisingly good sound. I hate the noodle cable though (as I do all noodle cables).
