And you said unicorns weren't real...

...and 3 other Toneking buds at 65Ohm, 150Ohm and 200Ohm but all around the $60-$65 price.
(apologies if mentioned already. I didn't see them in the thread going back a bit)

Looks like a modified tomahawk. The other 3 look like modified To300, and then again To300 itself is probably a spinoff from the successful tomahawk.

Wait, the Cypherus site is up? ...Ugh, my testimony sounds so cheesy lol.

I might start saving up for CAX Red Dragon. Next paycheck! (or two...)

Sounds interesting. I've never heard of Cypherus until just recently. I don't see pricing on the website.. Do they normally sell through another market?

 

[theoutsider]

Inside..

Done by the same guy and selling at similar price. They probably share the same internals and were given different tunings. Seahf is supposed to be sibilant and Hi-z supposed to be bassy or something.

Go for it.

Tell them you are a serious reviewer! Lol!

Someone told me there's a few cables for you to pick; higher price for better cable!

I'm also saving money for a red dragon.

Does this picture mean that the inside(Driver as well?) of TY Hi-Z AWK-314P and Seahf AWK-F32P are the same?

Same sound

Really!

Did you read @ctaxxxx 's review notes on TOTL earbuds? Cypherus has a few models on the list of the Totl list!

Checking it out now, thanks for the heads up!

Not to forget to mention that CAX Black is #1 on two other member's personal earbud ranking.

Edit: Actually just email him for pricing. Don't want to deter anyone...

Someone told me it's US$500+, depending on the level of cable you pick.

This is far cheaper than a totl iem!

IMHO: Ridiculous price. Got campfred in loan from a friend, I was expecting something (much) better for the price.
I have about 15 pairs of earbuds now in my drawer and my ranking would have nothing to do with the price I paid for them.

Same sound

But I also feel that Seahf and Hi-z are given different tunings that Seahf is a little sibilant and Hi-z is a little bassy.

One of the guys got the red dragon and sold the black! He told me red beats the black hands down.

They said red is one league above.

With newer budget buds sounding better than before, it really is hard to argue the value. I do feel that CampFred 2 is a step up though. It's all about those diminishing returns! As someone who drops $1K on headphones, $200 sounds like a steal to me for the sound quality it provides.

I feel the same about the price. However, I was told by the other member that the cable they give you are very expensive. The more money you give them, the more money they spend on buying the higher spec cable to put on the same model for you. It same it's fair this way as It will cost us a lot if we were to buy the cable ourselves.

I remember that people give a monk+ Earbud to them to upgrade cable and become a super earbud.

Having said this, red dragon is still cheaper than the second hand Sony mdr-e282 that I am longing to get. Red dragon is cheap when compare to TOTL IEM.

Agreed. I just bought the DIY Graphene for <$30, which is (supposedly) comparable to the Stardust, which is something like 5x the cost. With that in mind, it does become harder to justify spending $200+ on earbuds when there's always the chance that something might come out with 90% of the sound at a fraction of the price. Same with IEMs and to some extent, headphones as well.

 

[cocolinho]

You are right and I think diminishing returns appear earlier with earbuds than headphones/IEMs.
Now I need to get these DIY Graphene !
