Maybe I missed the news?
Now I found it on AliExpress at NiceHCK.

I looked up in NiceHCK store, but wasn't able to find it; searching for its name in aliexpress search also do not show any results.
Could you provide a link to it?

The Blox TM11 is 180USD.
Please buy a Blox TM11 and if you like it (and you probably will) add more great reviews!:L3000:

Haha please buy and leave a review even if you don't like it 😅
I checked their website. They show and explain the process of how they assemble their drivers. Pretty impressive, although I am not completely convinced that a human can do it better/more precise than a machine!
I will definitely wait for at least 1 more impression on their qualities. Didn't somebody else in here order a set? Seems I read something a few weeks ago... Worried about the price. Import taxes will be 21%, this combined with Shipping will drive the price up close to 250€. 🥴

@mochill bought it.

Also, although it's a little old, @ClieOS, the founder of this Earbuds Round-Up, ranked the Blox TM7, which is two generations old, second in his final earbuds ranking.

And here is his comment, written elsewhere:
"Blox TM7 - Lush, lively, dynamic with an excellent 3D soundstage and life-like presentation. Great all-arounder."

Yes, I purchased one as well. I have had it a few weeks but not much time with it to be honest. The TM11 is a good all rounder I would say. The most revealing about it to me is that it has great soundstage, probably the best soundstage among the buds I have. It has decent bass, where it should be, not powerful or thumping. So it is definitely for someone that wants great stage and not a bass heavy model. It reminds me a lot of first hearing a Grado headphone, where you feel like you are in the audience, dead center. It also scales very well with power... it really wants it.

Appreciate the suggestions, folks. There is no rush, so I will keep watching this thread while slowly digesting what is out there. 👍

Folks, Yincrow RW-4000 for $300 on AliExpress (NiceHCK Audio Store) as I type (coupon + coins -- App only). Looks solid and it has MMCX. Yay or Nay? Have you guys already seen it at an even lower price?

Even if I don't pull the trigger now, I will leave it as a note to self and leave this one on my radar. :wink:

In my setup (FiiO btr3k) I can enjoy plenty of bass without needing too much power.
I agree with everything else.

Could be source and cable used. LPGT Ti with 8w cable with thin foams.

$300 is a very good price. I paid the early adapter price for the RW-4000, but I don't regret it, they are an outstanding set of buds.

To help you make your purchasing decision, check out this impression by @JAnonymous5150.

With just my smartphone, the Sony Xperia 1 V, I can enjoy plenty of bass without having to turn up the volume too much.
The measured resistance of my Blox TM11 was 43 ohms.

EDIT:
@qua2k, can you measure the resistance of your Blox TM11?

Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link, since I use a local, not an international AE application. Searching by name and image doesn't work, I found it by accident.
Thanks @mt877 for the links.
I also placed an order :)

Has Smabat finally come to their senses and tuned an earbud without an icepick?
