Think how much you can save if you replace them all with the Bird then!Can confirm that is simply not true. I'm coming to double that amount with the addition of my 5th iem (hopefully the last)

Ha, if only. I've been craving a second complimentary IEM and am getting irritated at all the new DAP/cable releases but no new flagship IEMs!I completely get you. The current get-out price for the hobby is$5999$6600. If you have it, you can skip all the baby steps, side steps and missteps and live happily ever after.

You just hold on to your wallet for the next few weeks until HK AV show (the weekend of August 6-8). There should be quite a few juicy surprise announcements

You really should try the Trailli, David. It’s a very special IEM.Jury is still out on this... hope I get a chance to audition it...
No no, you can't pair a Traillii with a flagship. What you want is an all-day listen with great, easy sound you can just kick about with. Because nothing will take the place if Traillii for the special listens. At least nothing that's out there yet. Easier on your wallet that way too.Ha, if only.

You mean like your old LX that I'm listening to right now?Anything dark/warm but highly technical with excellent timbre?
(Mind you, it's not dark, but still...)
My friends at the summit, another PSA from budget-fi - check out the GK10 from Geek Wold, a $45 multi-driver (2DD bass and mids, 1BA high, 2 peizo ultra high) IEM. It has supplanted the BL-03 as my go to beater, top timbre and technicalities, especially when amped. As long as you go into it expecting a Traillii-like unboxing experience you won't be disappointed.
I hope to be back at the summit in the next few months with a Traillii re-purchase, *fingers crossed*.
