This is heartbreaking news, Thomas / HungryPanda was an integral part of this community and as strange as it might seem I was always glad when I saw his avatar (the same goes for mbwilson111) in the same way you´re happy when you see your friends / acquaintances when you meet them in person, he made this a friendlier place and I will miss him. My heartfelt condolendces mbwilson111, just know that you´re very much appreciated here, don´t hessitate to shoot me a pm if you read this and need to talk, lots of love.
@mbwilson111 We may only be fellow earbud aficionados but we're here for you if you need us. Sending love and support.

HUNGRYPANDA SPECIAL EDITION?
I thought a HungryPanda earphone, or even better, an earbud, would be a good idea to commemorate Tom. I was asking around and Shozy are considering a HungryPanda Special Edition of either their Shozy zero or Shozy v33 models...laser engraved. OK, these are not earbuds, but this is still the right thread for it as Tom was spending a lot of time here.
Shozy is a reputable HK company.
The issues I see:
1. These models at $50 and $75 (regular issue) respectively, so not cheap to begin with - and not everybody can afford them.
2. I would like to see some of the money going to a covid-19 charity...I am a non-profit guy.
UPDATE: Shozy would commit to charity but they need a certain quantity to make this happen.
Suggestions welcome! Also per pm.

A grand idea!
Another company to consider contacting would be NiceHCK as Tom very much did like Jim and thought well of many of his ear bud models which are also much more modestly priced.

Has anyone told Jim?

I tried and will try again.
UPDATE: I just sent a detailed message to Jim. I was asking for a black and white earbud ("Panda" colour) that is affordable...and that some money should go to charity.
ANOTHER UPDATE: I wonder whether Jim is still the front guy at NiceHCK. My messages were read but I didn't receive a reply...which is weird.
I put the Shozy idea on hold. These guys are very nice and understanding.

I got FAAEAl Iris - Commemorative Edition yesterday.
First impressions:
Pleasant bass with a good "punch"
Emphasis on upper middle and HF - bright sound
Imaginary scene is wide, but not deep (typical problem)
Good separation of instruments
Full review will be later.
P.s. Rest In Peace, @HungryPanda, we not forget You. Condolences to @mbwilson111.
