Same with Crinacle recomending the galaxy buds 2 pro.

Audiophiles , what do they know.


Sometimes I think they just like to troll the audience.

Yeah, but Jude created Head Fi, so he’s the MAN…. I do enjoy Crinical, he a hoot to watch, more for entertainment. I love it when he craps on $2k IEM’s…

Just bought some HE1000 Stealth this week

Pretty fancy. I'll bet they're killer.

Haven't stopped using the DPP now I got the fit sorted. None of the included tips were close for me. The stems' length cause the wings to not sit in the recess of the concha

I'd probably return the MTW3 but for the life of me I can't find the box. Think it's gotten thrown out. Might put them up for sale. Not sure

What tips did you end up using.

What tips did you end up using.

Spinfit CP1025 for TWS
The mouth of the tip is almost then level with the nozzel end. Means they knock a good mm off the depth overall if not more.
I just couldn't use them with any other tip
The little coloured ring sits inside the grove on the stem meaning a solid lock (if a little fiddly to get on in the first place)
Had to drop the "immersion" slider to -1 as the bass response (hardly lacking on these) was feeling even more elevated but -1 was decent.

BTW; anyone interested in ultra expensive IEM's, check out the "water cooler, banter" thread. These guys are next level when it comes to $$$ outlay..
Some up to $10k for IEM and cable. Any TWS is a huge bargain comparatively.

I would rather buy some watches unless I won $1.5B in lottery.

Ha ha me too. Give me a Grand Seiko over some IEMs any day of the week.

My latest purchase in tws and watch (right one). My wallet is crying right now. Grand Seiko is another holy grail for me. One day I will add it to my collection.

I’m watch Denon and HIFIMAN for any price movement on Black Friday.

Talk about an expensive hobby.

My SJE093 says hello. Nice collection.

Is there any impressions of the new Astell-kern?

Got a question, does AK design, source parts and manufacture their TWS products? I think their TOTL IEM’s are OEM’d from Germany and rebranded.

I’ll agree with him. For easy to drive stuff the Apple dongle is fine. Anymore I only use the headphone jack on my M1 MacBook Air, and an Apple lightning dongle for my iPhone 13Pro. All my stuff is easy to power though. I realized lately that I didn’t like the sound of my Qudelix 5K, and there is no point in hooking up my NX4DSD.

Anyway, to keep this comment on topic, my MTW3 has been my most used headphone/IEM lately.

Here’s what I’m getting at. China’s market (internal) is so huge, we probably haven’t even scratched the surface here with what’s available. How do we know some of these offerings from boutique providers aren’t Chinese inexpensive TWS they’re just flipping. Repackaged with 80% - 90% mark-up. If they are, and if they’re good, might a well just buy they, as we don’t really have access to this market…
