Seems like 7hz has a new earbud called the "Timeless", at 999 yuan it is around 150 usd. Looks like it has a replaceable cable.

Is that the piezo bud? The PISLO PXVV?

7Hz Timeless look interesting out of bunch, simply because I rated separated, oversized dual driver set up since Rose days. The potential of having extra extended bass, and distinct characteristics like Masya & Mojito.

Still need to see more reviews before putting more thoughts on them though. Gotta let ears be the judges. 😆

Has Chi-fi QC ever been good? Doesnt seem like it to me tbh...

QC for CHIFI is a crapshoot sometimes, but I've also had my fair share of QC problems for western/boutique brands (well the western gear are mostly made in China anyways).

The only thing is CHIFI is generally cheaper, so even in the worst case that a QC issue develops, it isn't as painful on the pocket. The issue is that sometimes their customer service is fly by night (if they even talk to you), and sending stuff back to China may be more expensive than the item itself!

@zhibli06 Hey Lee we are going to have to report you to Huawei! They will be none too pleased with you :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: LOL!
i own...pretty much all Hi-Fi phones...they are amazing for retro gaming....as i am sensitive to OLED PWM backlite
the gold age of the hi-fi phone started with vivo actually...and meizu mx4 pro... has a very very very good screen...of course LG is probly better, but
I personally perfer JDI to LG for panel....(for retro gaming), but if I am watching anime...I think LG is more vivid~

ohh this is head-fi..sorry.....soundwise.. i have V30 tested long ago...i should make a video about them somewhere down the line.

Cheers

I can't find any information re: the 7hz timeless. Do you have a link?
I have no other info other than the post you linked. All of the new products being shown have probably just released in china, so most likely its going to take a while before they get released internationally (if they even will be).

Zen LL. I am impressed.
This is much more than a sleeping bud. So far I did not find any weak area, everything is great with comfort and tuning being excellent.
The sound experience is really quite comparable to full sized headphones.
The Rosemary is unfortunately inferior in almost every area, though it is still good value for the price.

Will the LBBS be any match for the Zen LL? We will find out soon. Stay tuned.

Great! Thanks for sharing your views of the Zen LL. How are the highs on the LL? Rolled off or well extended? Would you say the sound sig to be balanced, or warm tending towards dark?

Quite some talk of the LBBs recently. I might have to bust out mine just to revisit it. Pity the fit is very poor in my case.

Does anyone know what's the nozzle size of M2s Pro and ST-10s?
The original ST-10's size is tad of a squeeze for my ears so I'm wondering if the newer ones is the same size.
I can't find any specific information, but all three use the 15.4mm driver, so I have to assume they are all the same size. Take that with a grain of salt, because they could be different; it's really hard to tell just from a picture.

Aliexpress is having a sale now. I just bought a SMABAT ST10S 150 ohm driver, to try it on the M2S Pro and M0.

Now it's the waiting game for the long ride from China, will update when this driver comes. I do hope it can be almost as good as the original SMABAT ST10S Black Gold, but cheaper, since it just involves putting the driver in the M2S Pro shell.

Anyways, thanks to another helpful headfier, he put some Aliexpress coupon codes here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the...the-first-post.692119/page-2126#post-16455018
They can stack with store coupons so hope for big savings for everyone!!!
