The light is spectacular, changeable, and mysterious.
Could you use one sentence to describe this attractive scene?

Aurora - the show of light: the immense stage and shimmering colours of ethereal natural harmony - we captured it all in sound for you, KBEar!

Wow just wow these get better and better

Right off the bat the sound stage really stick out it's vast and deep with insane placement I couldn't ask for anything better at this price definitely a sound stage king

At first rip Poppin em in my ears they easily got muddy but about 50 hours they started to peak the most

Mids: mids are natural and fast with life but they lack some body with some songs but most of the time I have no problem em they do have a slight spike that is slightly harsh to my ears in the transition from mids/treble area but nothing that isn't abruptly canceled out by the speed of the iem

Bass : it's a mid ranged balanced armeture (if your a bass head or want something for an all rounder this is not your iem) these give a light light sub bass and a heavy mid bass but that's also light on the hitting. The tonality is forsure amazing tho especially for guitar it gives body to acoustics

Treble: treble is bright and crisp but not fatiguing I can enjoy treble happy songs with moderate volume on these for an hour or 2 the treble are natural, transparent,and airy and doesn't lack detail it is on the dark side though a tad bit but not alot

With an over all bass boost added to the iem just don't do it if you want high volumes you'll get nothing but mud . But a bass boost adds body to damn near the wholesale spectrum of the iem at times giving it a warmer texture . With the bass boost it can get a lil congested for me

Sounstage: as I've stated above .. the sound is immense and wide vocals will have echo that I've never heard before just mesmerizing and eargasmic I can't get enough of it. It'll sound kinds middling in the beginning of use but after about 3 days of straight use they have this aura effect

Over all these have an "audiophile tuning" and not meant for the bass head but if you enjoy a beautiful concert or just some beautiful acoustic guitar thankyou tri for send me the NEON they are for sure phenomenal

Pros: mids ,vocals,treble, wide soundstage
Cons: lack of bass

Songs used : the life span of a rivalry by shalfi and glide by ehiorobo

They shine most with lofi

Does this look like the Aurora in yesterday's scenery picture?
Is it the one that you described in your sentence?
Aurora makes its debut today and will bring about more information in the near future!

One thing about Aurora is that its sound can compete with the Believe's! Please stay tuned! :wink:

Don McLean wrote "Starry, starry night, swirling clouds in violet haze" in his song "Vincent" That fits really well, I think.

If these are as good as people make the BElieve out to be, they'll definitely be worth consideration. It'll be a challenge to unseat the Starseas I've fallen in love with, but I'm willing to see how they are. I will say, I'm absolutely loving the design direction that TRI has been taking with their resin IEMs. They're super comfortable to wear and they just look so pretty with the shimmering resin swirl faceplate. Keep up the great work!

The KBEAR KS 1 that I won are quite astonishing.
I've waited to post as I was tempted to post a huge string of superlatives, and thought that I should wait for a while to see if the 'new toy' bias confirmation would ease-up, so I could leave some reasonably level-headed impressions, but the truth is that I friggin LOVE these things.
They're bassy (just the right relative quantity of bass for me), exciting and engaging.
I was really surprised how good the bl03 are for the cost of admission, but the K1 just hit more sweet spots IMO, and that's even before I consider the vastly better physical fit I'm enjoying from the K1.
Even after LOADS of fiddling with cables and tips etc the BL03 were never secure in my ears, comfy but never secure.
The K1's fit superbly right out of the box (I hated the cable at first, and dismissed it, but I was wrong, more to follow) and I even found the tips to be a great fit, which NEVER happens to me! I literally never swapped out from the medium silicones straight out of the box.
At first I found the fit of the cables to be hopeless, as they arched way too high above my ear and were really annoying, but I tried re-shaping them by dipping the ear hook into a bowl of freshly boiled water, bending into the shape I wanted, and holding the shape while the wire cooled. (I removed the iem for this BTW!) This worked perfectly and the cable/ear guide now fits like a glove.
I swapped the cable out for a 4.4mm one anyway, but the stock one actually outperforms it's price bracket by quite a margin once it fits.
The medium ear tip (silicone) seems to be very slightly smaller than most I encounter, so it fits my 'between size' ear canal perfectly, and the nozzle length is decent, and avoids that 'teetering on the edge of falling out' sensation by actually allowing the ear-tip to be inserted properly (N.B. not too deep, just right 😘).
Clarity and resolution aren't affected badly by the large bass quantity, and the upper end seems to be boosted enough that the whole balance just hits my bass-head/audiophile sweet spot.
I was going to end this comment by saying KBEAR are risking entry level customers just sticking with their first time purchase, thereby killing any sales priced north of $21, but now that I think about it, I myself am now thumbing through all of KBears higher end catalogue with a view to find an even better iem with the same overall tonal balance (and maybe driver compliment) as the KB1.
Thanks for holding the competition @WendyLi, and thanks for the KB1, it really is a stellar iem.

I found KS1 shines really well when its dumper filter is removed, highly recommended👍

my pair has some considerable channel imbalance unfortunately, but soundwise i think they are good

(measurements using IEC711 compliant microphone)
That's unfortunate. Will you be seeking out a replacement? That graph looks pretty bright with the gain significantly above the rest of the range, but I'm surprised at how flat the curve is from the sub-bass to mids.
