It is hard to describe it in words, in written way and in English)) To put it shortly:
1) C4 Pro and c10 mod have natural sound presentation - they are description of analogue sound among DAPs in comparison with digital, not natural sound. In comparison, all android devices in this or that degree have some artificiality. OS influence sound a lot, actually.
2) Colorflyes drives drivers\dynamics of earbuds much better in terms of authority, deepness, massiveness and overall scale. C4 Pro has widest scene and at the same time it is deep and high. For example, in comparison, even though Opus 3 and Calyx M have amazing, fun and precise sound signature, everything sounds a little bit on the distance.
3) Consequently, extensions on all spectre of frequencies are better and longer. Vocals and wind instruments are instant and the most obvious beneficiaries.
4) Finally, realism of scene representation is phenomenal.

Equilibrium mk2 is practical earbuds - survive through tough situations, sits in the ear very well and in different positions of the body. Also, they sounds great even without foams. Sounds very wide, open, with lots of air and has good amount of bass - no "too light" feelings (inn comparison, ps100-260, Turandot, SHOZY SG sounds intimate and close; it is not good or bad, just the fact). They sound really realistic and the synergy with c4 pro is just fantastic. Also, they sounds great from absolutely any source without exceptions. No other models have the same advantages at once.

Thanks for your extensive feedback

For me, it would be the Moondrop Chaconne. Its totally targeting my preferences.

I like these better, but I'm sure there are less ... cumbersome solutions for that cable termination?

How does this set sound?

Whenever an Aliexpress shop mentions "female poison", I run far away as that usually means shouty banshee upper mids!

With those wooden shell, high chance of good timbre

With those wooden shell, high chance of good timbre

Not really a guarantee, I had the JVC FW02 (wooden iem that costs around 200 usd) and it had a lot worse timbre than the Blon BL-03.

Well, the weather in my area has been warming up and I'm already starting to experience some discomfort while wearing headphones -- my excuse for ordering an earbud I've been looking at for around a year. It's hard to believe that 1 year has already passed for a good number of us that made the journey into earbuds during the pandemic.

I haven't been on head-fi much after starting a new job, but I'm still very much into the value prop earbuds represent. As soon as I get the new buds in, out of habit I'll measure and compensate them, posting the results here. A couple more hints as to what's inbound:

1. a bud that purists would think is silly to compensate for. (@Alex.Grimm, et al)
2. not avail on aliexpress.
3. I never would normally purchase, but I posted something a while back describing what I would do when I got a job.
4. a bud that started shipping its second iteration around 4.5 months ago.

How's that for a tease? Have a great weekend everyone!
