Just figured out what the new "aPs" designation means on some of Wong's latest Blur earbud models (Blur 173 MX aPs 300Ω and Blur 173 MX aPs 400Ω)... it stands for Air Pocket Shell. I had completely missed this one post of his where he explained/introduced it; very interesting.

Just got some iSine 10's from Adorama B-stock. Form factor feels like a cousin of the earbud as another take on the IEM + open-back fusion. I actually find the earhooks comfortable and the silicon tip comfortable enough. Quite good to me for 119 USD (sans shipping), but definitely improved when the mids hump is EQ'd out in exchange for a more pleasant listening experience, e.g. V-shaped or more neutral.

I did not really like the light wood finish and I think there is a dark option that seemed to be in black painted metal?
I have black color, its wood shell with plastic сap on glue

Both buds I ordered yesterday have been shipped, it looks like. Fingers crossed they'll get here fast!

I wasn't going to mention the store out of goodwill, but yes it is AK. Looks like I'm not the only one being duped by them. Buyers beware.
Name and shame every time a seller/store is being obnoxious, imo.

I hope they send me the correct one because the darker one is the one I like. I also order a cheap 4.4mm cable just in case more power is needed.
One of my friends agreed with the seller to replace the stock cable with another from 2.5mm or 4.4mm Maybe this is better, the stock cable is not soft...

Thanks for sharing! I want to keep the original cable to play around with and besides, it will be easier for me to sell later if I don't like them.

Anyway the 4.4mm cable I have bought from the RY store are really affordable.
