Thanks man. Yeah I saw that review too and BGs Funny thing is that everything I have seems to be similar with slight variations.

When listening to the right tunes, the MDV really sound great. But they seem to be getting the least love right now.

The TRN definitely have a lame tonality. Sad. I very much prefer the AZ09 Pro to them. Fiio 5 are permanently attached to my Clairvoyance. 3s, I cut off the bottom, filed them down and they now fit Moondrop buds!
I never thought to do that... Can you post a pick of the filed down version... I would love to put the Aria on my 3's...this group is awesome

I will say the xm4 due to noise cancellation, but I prefer the sound of the mw08 the most
I have WF-1000XM4 and I love them, but I'm considering a second set with a slightly different signature.

I find XM4 extraordinary with Metal and the more energetic / aggressive genres, because they manage to sound engaging, fun, but smooth and not tiring.

I would like the second set with a different sound, with more emphasis on mids and mid-treble than bass, but without harshness and sharp treble, for vocals and acoustic music.

Yeah, that why I consider the eq due to many reviews said they have more details than the xm4 but you might want to try the T5II anc

What do you mean by lame tonality?

Here you go. You have to cut and pull off the rings at the end of the Fiio. Sadly, I didn’t take pics of the process. EDIT: Added pics of the filed down AZ09 Pro too. Works with all my Moondrop and other 2 Pin IEMs.

Not sure how to explain it better. For me, they lack the power and definition the Fiio and AZ09 Pro seem to have. They just do sound particularly colorful. More flat and not a robust. Not sure if it's the amp in them or not. But like @Ceeluh7 and I were discussing, it could be I haven't found a sensitive IEM that matches well with them. That said, the TRN30 TWS adapters are my least favorite.

https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-airpods-pro-2-could-swap-bluetooth-for-hi-res-audio-technology

Optical wireless ? Infrared?

Could this possibly find the holy grail? - Hi Res to wireless
Doesn’t strike me as a solution that apple would implement since it would clearly be fussy to deal with and would probably be appreciated by serious audiophiles. Plus all that to waste them on air pods seems unlikely. Cool idea though. Apple is all about simplicity and the user experience.

I am entirely like you... I did a review on Facebook. A lengthy one comparing the Aria and the t3+ and the Mele, Blon 03....the t3+ came away tops over them all. The tonality of the Aria and t3+ is very very close. If you look at a graph they are darn near identicle with the t3+ having a bit more energy in the lows and the highs. Let the t3+ burn in. It needs time, at least 50 hrs. In fact try to burn all these sets in as they will change and the drivers will settle so what you are hearing now... Like treble peaks, bloated basses at times can be helped with just burn in or what I like to do... Listen in. I also agree whole heartedly about your summary of the HE01... It isn't a technical giant but it does have great tonality and just is emphasized in the right areas. Anyways, you are spot on with what I hear regarding these sets.
I def like your tastes in iems. I love the lea, aria, and he01. The he01 reminds me a lot of my shure srh840s which I loved for years. They're both boring, but just something about them I love.

Dude.... You pre ordered the Olina? Wait... I think you told me that already. Anyways, make sure to post the verse you get because I'm sure you'll be in the first 500 that purchased it. That's great.
Hahahah yeah I couldn't resist after seeing hbb's video about them. I got in around purchase 425 I think. I'll definitely be posting the verse. It's just such a good deal to support hbb, plus I love what what he's doing with the verses and having 6/500 be free with the golden lettered cards, plus the verses with free gear. I didn't know it used the oxygen driver until you mentioned it. HBB didn't say what one it was in his video. Now I'm super excited for it.

I never thought to do that... Can you post a pick of the filed down version... I would love to put the Aria on my 3's...this group is awesome
Guess I lucked out with my utws3's. I got mmcx and using an mmcx --> 2 pin adapter, they work with my arias.
