That is a very good point, and I see that on that particular store, you have three choices; one with just buds, one with just BT cable, and one with both. I have not ordered from that site, but did notice it has a pretty good rating (the same as CKLewis Audio actually). I actually ordered mine from CKLewis Audio Store though (where they are actually a bit cheaper), and when I had an issue (first set one driver was blown), they sent me another without too much hassle. Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for them?Hi! Looking at the positive opinions in the thread about the Lun Sheng Aeolian Bells, I ordered them with the bluetooth cable on Aliexpress but I was unlucky as the seller (LUNSON Brand Store) sent me only the cable with a broken plastic part too. He was very slow in responding and insisted that I ordered only the cable; I got a full refund only by opening a dispute as he was clearly wrong. This is just to tell you to be careful if you want to buy from this seller.
Before ordering them again, what do you think about the imaging capabilities of the A-Bells? I'm prioritizing imaging over everything else at the moment. Can you give me some advice about earbuds with best imaging in a price range from 20 to 100 EUR/USD? Thank you
Having said all of that, I would never order the BT adapter for those anyhow. I may be making a conclusion based on price alone, but I would bet "dollars to dozens" that an $18 BT adapter that has a built in DAC/amp will NOT sound very good with these (or anything else for that matter) but as always, YMMV! I could be totally surprised by this, but it is unlikely.
I think that for the money spent, these are excellent in their imaging (and overall sound as well); though I wouldn't say that they have pinpoint accuracy, but also not just a big wall of sound either. You get an idea of where the instruments are coming from, but not exactly where. Separation helps this too, also being above average. Don't get me wrong, they will not top any of the TOTL buds out there, but they are better than most (if not all) budget buds in this regard (IMHO). They are tuned overall similarly to the EB2S, but with better clarity, and less aggressive in the presence region and with better technicalities.
For a full rich sound but with very little in the way of technicalities, the FF1 is the current king to my ears, but I find the A-Bells are best for their technicalities, even with them both having totally opposite tuning. All this being my opinion only and you may find it to be totally different.
