Not at all
But love to hear what others talk about and what's out there on the market
May others do the opposite what's fine for me as well ...

A lot of the stuff I look into is first heard about here, so I enjoy reading about what others consider to be good/bad... For instance, I would have never thought about the CCA CRA in a thousand years had I not seen many people talking about them (in a good way) on Head-Fi, and while they aren't the end-all-be-all of IEMs, they are better than some $300 IEMs I have heard.

Are these yours? Jesus they look stunning! Better than mine

Yes! I asked Bloom Audio if they could get me a unit that had slightly different colors between the right and left earbuds. Never got a reply but they totally delivered. Only had a chance to take pictures tho, have not worn them yet.

Wow, what a great company they are. Congrats and now try to imagine they sound even better than they look hah.

@RIGATIO well, crap, you were right. The MkII are something else. The soundstage feels wider and a loooot more holographic yet transparent. Finding new details that aren't audible or perceptible with the IT-07. It's all in the timbre, beautifully handled in such a way that it is so easy to distinguish each individual noise and the source. Testing different tips, liking the blue spiral ones that come with the IT-07. I prefer ear tips with a wide bore. Lastly, I'm finding the cable jut a bit annoying over the ear, Thieaudio could've used a shorter terminal on the 2 pin end. They feel rather comfortable in the ear, maybe just a bit too tight for my ears, we shall see after an hour or two.

Also getting the sensation you mentioned that sound is coming more from outside your head rather than from the center. The amp13 must be adding some extra spicy flavor on the sound stage and how natural it feels. If you are wondering about the volume, the MkII feel normal to me at 70% volume with high gain while using the lower powered output, so the amp13 can totally handle them nicely with headroom to spare.

I have tried many tips with them but finally ended up with the stock whoye once as they help to display the best detail, but thats just me, we all know that the tips are very individual thing.
The cable is the thing wthat annoyed me the most at the beginning but now i used to it (it will form according to the angle of your ears but its gonna take at least 2-3 weeks).
When it comes to the sound, well im glad that you like them. I didn't want to convince anyone by force, but i really feel that they are on of the best iems you can grab right now (and the cheapest that are on the real TOTL level).
Will be waiting for more impressions from you!

I agree, the source (mainly the amp) has a big influence on how they sound. They are very very well tuned, so they will scale very well with a better source.
And this sensation of hearing the sound coming from the outside, gosh, i love it. Its the closest ive gotten to the speaker-like sound when it comes to the iems, even headphones. Its a pure joy, having such an amazing detail ad transparency but its all not offensive at all.

They sound even better with acoustic recordings, where you can spot many more reverberations. Its like being in an audience on a real concert.
