I don’t know the Etude price and official cable, but the Astral and Septet has nicer and modular cables if I am not wrong
Edit: seems like we are not going to get the nicer cable of Kiwi Ears, but the usual one…

Really, really need a review… I am about to order the Yanyin Canon Pro and after that no new IEM’s for a while. First the Astral and Septet made me doubt purchasing the Canon and when I finally decided to go for the Canon the Étude pops up 
This might be my next IEM. It looks like a winner to me...BC driver ( a first in my collection) , beryllium DD( I love them), 3 ba 's to polish the treble and mids,Kiwi,under 200£...almost a blind buy for me.
All of them have a different sound signature, I believe the Etude is meant for bass-heads according to its descriptionReally, really need a review… I am about to order the Yanyin Canon Pro and after that no new IEM’s for a while.

It depends on what you are looking for
Sounds like it is not going to be the typicall BCD:

I ordered the Tansio Mirai Feat, had doubts and cancelled them. Now I ordered the YanYin Canon Pro but again having doubts because of the Etude. If I want to cancel the Canon I must be quick. Unfortunately not a single review in sight. And now cancel the Canon and wait for an Etude review? It already takes weeks before they arrive. No news about the Etude availability.
This hobby is killing me
*edit* yep. Cancelled the Canon. And… reordered the Mirai Feat.
I probably can do the Mirai Feat + Etude but probably can’t do the Canon + Etude which is 158,- euro more expensive.
Hopefully the Etude will be a banger…
*edit 2* While waiting for (reviews of) the Étude the Hifiman Svanar wired and Svanar LE (I use a iPhone so LDAC not important) caught my eye. I know, different tuning, but at this point it is more what IEM would be the best addition for my collection
I like bass but already have the feat incoming. A extra bass set would be appreciated but a neutral set for variety also. Anyone with advice for this eternally doubting man?

The Quintet also has a bone conduction driver
Right! For my ears that pzt driver has very little effect...it's basically inaudible.
Are you sure that a PZT is a bone conduction driver? As far as I know, it is not
Correct, Linsoul has confirmed it is going to be under 150$. I am personally excited for this release
I didnt know Piezoelectric made bcd's either, but yea. I feel like it doesnt do much for this iem IMO

I am not sure I would technically call a PZT a bone conduction driver ?I didnt know Piezoelectric made bcd's either, but yea. I feel like it doesnt do much for this iem IMO
