i think the cp100s are one of the best ones around

Try the KBEAR 07, I only tried them after they came with an IEM. Prefer them to CP100 now. Cheaper too!

it seems to mimic the acoustune AET series

Yes, they are basically the same, and I also prefer them over the CP100s, which have quite a pronounced effect on the colour of the sound.

i do have both but comfort wise i still prefer the cp100s, even with a tight fight and good isolation it doesn't hurt. AET is stiffer in comparison, of course stiffer means less resonance from the tips material hence less coloration

Anyone tried EDS yet? curious if it step up from EDX or at least comparable to EDA or CCA CRA.

Right now the attention is on EDX Ultra, the even newer one.

Yeah but that twice the price. EDS is priced similar to original EDX.

My ranking, CRA > EDX Pro > EDS.
I find EDS soundstage not as open as the others, technically seems left behind. Never try the EDX.

I must have dozed off for a moment. I missed the latest FOTM!

Don't worry as we type apparently we both missed EDX Ultra+MAX

If i recalled it right EDS appear along side of EDC both side grade for EDX and not quite EDX Pro level.
I don't quite remember why but there are the $20~30 KZ that is more focused by reviewer here instead of EDS and EDC, the beginning of Magnetostats batch?

The EDA balanced is pretty decent out of the box, far better than anything else anywhere near $10 (except for the CRA and now Moondrop Chu).
Like most IEMs, it needs some EQ to really shine. All I needed was some slight boosts all around and it's performing extremely well. Curious to try some AutoEQ settings on this when available.

If they'd sell them individually for $15, I'd buy one. I don't see $30 dollars for two IEMs I don't want with no tips or cables, as being any kind of bargain!

Funny you should say that - they do sell them separately and there is a limited time coupon right now that drops them to $15:

I admitted to buying a new DAP an hour ago... I'm in goodwill overdraft!

They are selling the balanced individually though..
