If you ever subscribed to Tidal they sent a 4 months for 1 offer to my email address. Assuming all former subscribers also got it. Streaming FLAC.

Decided not to go with the Flare Audios.
 
Could anyone recommend some good IEM deals? These are the ones I've found so far:
 
Brainwavz M1 - $20
Vsonic VSD3 - $40
Hifiman RE400 - $60
 
I would probably prefer IEMs with a sound signature similar to the RE400. I would go with the RE400s, just not sure if they're worth 3x the price of the M1.

They are, definitely worth 3x as much. Never tried the m1 but have tried the brainwave flagship and the RE400 was much better. Even though they are talked about a lot they're still Hifi's best kept secret.

Here's Brainwavz CyberMonday Promo,
 
If you like a balanced sound and have not heard the Delta iems here is a chance at $10.
 
The HM2 Over ears (on ears?) are just released today and are set to sell for $50
The HM2 intro $40 package includes HM2 phones (with hard case), Hengja Headphone Hanger ($18), Brainwavz AP001 Portable Headphone Amp ($26), and a set of the Delta iems ($22.50 on Amazon)
- So if you throw away the headphones you would still be ahead and have a cheap hard case :wink:
 
 
 
Non-headphone deal: Canon refurbished SX400 30x Zoom in red $50 shipped.
                                                                   SX400 30x Zoom in black $50 shipped
 
Canon refurbs are flawless and have 1 year warranties.

I agree - very clear, resolving, pleasant sounding IEM. My only concern was build quality, which is not stellar. As long as you take care of them and not use them at the gym, keep them in the case, etc., they're tough to beat at this price.

Sadly, haven't seen much other than maybe some Shure 215's.

Anyone else find some good stuff?

There was an RHA T20 for about 150, a beyerdynamic T1 2nd generation for about 600, but I quickly left before my finger hit the add to cart button :p

Also a Hifiman HE1000 for about $2000, but doubt I'd take a chance with that kinda cash
