Just got a pair, found them on Amazon for $700 aud, was sent a clearly used pair missing the case and outerbox, and I noticed that when i plugged the stock balanced cable the left ear was noticably quieter then the right, although with the Linsoul Tripowin Amber cable they work perfectly, so it was probably a user return who had a faulty cable.
Either way, asked amazon to send me a replacement, which will come tomorrow, but while that one arrives i've been listening to this pair and they are brilliant, clear, excellent sound quality and WOW the comfort is amazing, I have always hated how massive Chi-Fi IEMs are and could never get them to be comfortable for more then an hour, but these things fit like they aren't even there.
The 3d Printed Zirconium casing is really cool from a technical standpoint as well. The QC slip on my pair say they were produced in October 2024.
For reference I have the Letshour S12 and have tried the 7hz Timeless and these are much better then both of them, both for comfort, detail and soundstage.
I also own the HD600, Focal Elegia, AKG K712 and Grado SR80x and these sound better then every single over ear headphone I own.
The only audio experience I prefer to these is my KEF Q150 but you can't exactly compare speakers to IEMs, not very fair!
They sound great through the Topping DX3+ or the ifi Go Link Max.
I still think the Airpods Pro 2 are the better out and about headphone because man I hate cables while walking around but at home these are absolute weapons.
If the pair i get sent tomorrow is also clearly used I will try negotiate some sort of discount because if I can get them for even cheaper I don't really mind the used pair, as long as the warranty is still valid given how many people seem to experience QC issues with these, but man they sound too good and are too comfortable for me to not want to risk keeping them around.
Hoping the new pairs made recently are of a higher quality and better QC then the early release pairs!
Time will tell
