Someone tried them a few months ago, and it was just overly bloated bass.

I think it was maybe @1clearhead or @Nymphonomaniac.

Ah, NVM then lol.

Here is the comment I remember from a few months ago (referencing some older post that I could not find): https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chi...phones-and-iems.820747/page-763#post-13721528

I think it's known as a few different names - Salar F, the F90, and others - which is why I cant find the original post @themindfreak referenced. But it's always the same specs, and impossible to confuse with anything else due to the giant "F double moving coil" printed on the face.

I wouldn't get them just for that reason. I'm petty lol.

You can remove that type of printing using a qtip and a solvent such as acetone, goof off, xylene, toluene, lighter fluid, gasoline, naphtha, or lacquer thinner. Then buffing it with plastic polish. You can also wet sand it right off as a solvent alternative.

I easily removed the “ZS3” from my ZS3s, and the cheesy writing from my Fonge T01.

There’s always a way lol

Well if anyone wants to take one for the team, the **** K5 can be had for $120 from the AK Audio store. Their three BA model for $100. Both are rather fetching.

I'm seeing $120/150?

Some deals here , not exactly chifi but from Singapore

https://www.null-audio.com/collections/on-sale

The nebula is good.

Excerpt: "The AAW Nebula Two has solid build quality, adequate accessories, and excellent sound quality for the price. I’ve never heard an IEM with a more natural, balanced sound before; add to that a 3D soundstage, phenomenal end-to-end frequency extension, and great instrument separation with fantastic detail retrieval, and you get an IEM that punches well above its asking price."

Just bought a pair of AAW Q iems and a pair of shozy zero, oh and bought some UE 900s days ago. My wallet is bleeding, suffering and screaming miserably and I'm wondering what will I eat in the next months, lol.

Posted 3 reviews tonight. All were for bluetooth buds. One, the Riversong AirX2 from Gearbest, can only be described as best left at the bottom of the river. The other two were from a newcomer named SmartOmi, and both were impressive for early efforts. The ACE in particular has a lot of good features and makes me think SmartOmi will be one to watch if they can get a bit better extension on both ends and incorporate AptX in the next model.
