Pre orders are live on their website. I'll wait a little while to see if Amazon US gets a listing.
Remember to use the 10 dollar off coupon if you haven’t used their shop before. $239, even better deal!

Hi, just signed up here to join in with this thread.

I preordered the green R4 and can't wait for it to arrive 🙂
Just stay in this thread don’t keep exploring, guaranteed way to make your wallet a little lighter 🤣

jk, welcome! The Discovery Thread is a great place to start if you like IEMs, but you can kinda talk about whatever there.

Bummed that orders won't start getting fulfilled until mid-May. Means I have to wait until I return from my summer wandering. Was hoping to take one on my travels!

Damn we really do frequent the same places around here lol. Ask MusicTeck to ship you one when they get it via DHL, 2 days max 😉

Totally depends when retailers get stock. Could be cutting it pretty close.

And yeah, I do get the feeling that I keep seeing the same virtual faces in the same virtual spaces!

Just put a pre-order in for a green R4 through the HiBy site. Kinda been in the market for a DAP that I can take anywhere, and the cost of entry isn’t so high!

My thoughts on this one:

Anybody have a clue whether those two rear case protrusions serve a function?
The decorative lights and probably hides the wireless antenna

I have the black color on pre-order. Really looking forward to this one and hoping it will become my everyday carry. It seems like there is a lot of great tech and some really unique features for $249. Pretty interested in the 2 separate audio pathways for PCM and DSD as I have a decent amount of DSD files. Not sure any other DAP has that feature. I feel like Hiby is the DAP king right now in price to performance ratio. Packing in a ton of tech and features for really reasonable prices.

Confirming that R4 works perfectly fine with Apple Music. It drives Gaea easily and sounds like a big DAP without relying on DSP and EQ. It does not make the Gaea bright or warmer than how I expect this IEM to sound.

As a side note, this album has some fun stereo mixing tricks going.

I’m still ashamed that I’m listening to Taylor Swift.
