Depends on your 1) budget, 2) sound preference and 3) if you’ll be using a DAP or a desktop amp to drive the HP.

1) 300-500 usd 2) well textured, slightly warmer than neutral, although I do quite like boosted subbass 3) with a chord mojo

I take it's more technically proficient than the harmony?

Thanks for the early impressions.

Would love to hear a comparison of this with harmony 8.2.

If this prototype is really the harmony 8.2 married with fibae, then I am upgrading for sure.

Stop teasing @piotrus-g

I would not say it's more technically proficient than the Harmony 8.2 to my tastes of signature I think it's more engaging.

As is always the case, this does a lot of things right however there are a couple of cons, but I think I'll wait to mention those until I see what the other reviewers say.

Or should I say wishes as opposed to cons?

Just to be clear there's no malicious intent on our side like this
Nonetheless it is and will be interesting to see what each person has to say about the sound of this one

oof, never send iems to me, I will not understand what I'm listening to. I have no idea how to describe sound signature and have no idea bout different frequencies. I just like listening, probably unjustified

So, what you're alluding to is that you can be as satisfied in KZ thread looking at $20 iems but you choose Nic's thread to be seduced by 100x more expensive flagships instead?

lol, yes, I like what I think is technical ability in the flagships. I can't tell if they are well tuned or not
I'd like to learn though, but I haven't spent the time to listen to a lot of iems
