Amazing. Thank you.

Still curious about Newbsound though, hopefully someone knows something about that!

Has anyone ordered (heard) the new limited edition Yinman 2.0 series in either 150Ω or 600Ω? Curious to hear some feedback on them.

2021 - Yinman 音曼 2.0 150 LE (150Ω @ 110 dB/mW; aka NEW 150 Limited Edition)
2021 - Yinman 音曼 2.0 600 LE (600Ω @ 95 dB/mW; aka NEW 600 Limited Edition)

Qian39 Impressions:

Bass: Excellent bass, its elevated and very clean with great texture. Not as much as sub-bass as something like the X6, but close in mid-bass quantity.

Mids: Great vocals, very clean despite the tonality being a bit on the warmer side.

Treble: Well tuned treble, airy, clean and not fatiguing.

Overall: Drop whatever you are doing and get this. The Yincrow X6 might have been surpassed at half the price with a godly fit/comfort.



K´s K300 Impresssions:

Bass: sub-bass has poor extension and rumble. Mid-bass is a bit bloated but not that much quantity.

Mids: Unclean due to bass bleed, too much warmth.

Treble: Dark treble, unclean, lacks clarity and detail.

Overall: Not a budget Samsara K300, for iem people its somewhat similar to something like the Final Audio E5000.

Lovely Rose Maria arrived today! Really transparent and open sound!

wonderful... can you tell us soomething more? maybe with some comparisons?
If I remember correctly these earbuds require quite a lot of burn-in... I am very attracted by rose technics products...

 

[weezarrgh]

Longtime lurker here just adding to the Newbsound gospel - these definitely punch above their weight class! But most importantly @irv003 was a pleasure to correspond with and got the earbuds sent out really quickly! If you have the means, definitely consider adding them to the rotation!

Here are some recent convos about Rose and Maria in general with some minor but helpful comparisons:

If you speak of 2020 - Rose Technics Maria II (14Ω; 16mm & 14.8mm) there have been some discussions but not many... they be "bright" which turns a lot of people off immediately when it comes to earbuds.

Here is a nice brief from @ClieOS regarding the Maria II



Regarding 2019 - Rose Technics Maria (14Ω) here is a nice measurement by @ClieOS as well as a review by @davidmolliere

Concur, Maria I & II are bright sounding but damn do they have a wondrously wide soundstage. @ClieOS describes the Maria II quite well: "As for sound - think of it with a sound signature between SimPhonio D2+ and D3 - bright and very well extended treble, somewhat warm on the mid range, good deep punching but moderate low-end with a super massive soundstage. Listening to it pretty much equal to listening a miniature open back on-ear rather than an earbud. because of how 'out-of-the-ear' it sounds, even wider than the original Maria and definitely the widest sounding earbud in the market."

Another possible option would be the 2020 - Rose Technics Maria II (14Ω) in the smaller 14.8mm size. This is a bright signature earbud in comparison to all. Has a nice sparkle to it but unfortunately it is very fatiguing for me to use for nay length of time (I am hyper sensitive to sibilant and bright signature). The Maria II is well regarded... so much so, that I had to put it on my god-tier list.

Yes, right smack between the Chaconne, Maria II, and EM5 though I think the Maria II or even the EM5 were better sounding to me but I think 'fit' was an issue with the Lyra Nature LE. I really want to try the Lyra Mini to see if that helps any as it is supposed to sound very similar (less forward and open though so it may be a wash).

Though bright and fatiguing to me (I am sensitive to sibilant treble) the Maria II is an extraordinary earbud in so many regards... the widest head/soundstage I have ever experienced with an earbud.

It's too expensive no matter how good it may sound.
Can't be worth it...

I won't feed this.

 

[pickyAudiophile]

Also on my consideration list but "the wait" may kill me ! And I am not getting any younger!

Is it still on your watch list?
Still no official annoucement or specs yet. I do trust in Ivan's designs and would order blindly. As there are so many mediocre ES9038 implementations out there by brands like Hiby, Hidizs or whatever OEM, you name them. Few of them I purchased and sold with a loss just days or weeks later.
