I was going to get the dm6 for my next iem but many Ali express sellers are raving about the **** hq8 and say these are a number 1 hit in Japan! They are also getting a massive sale on 11.11. Anyone heard about these because I can't find a review?

hq8 sound a lot like T88 but seem to have a slight scoop in mids.

Thanks alot man you just save me amples of time and I really loved your os v3 recommendation an absolute beast of an iem! Now I am after something that specialises on vocals. I really want both male and female vocals to shine and sound really forward, full and clear. What would be your pick from all the stuff you have heard upto the 200 USD price range?

Looks like MD finally shipped the Tenhz P4 pro. Look forward to hearing them tomorrow. Though I got my sights set on a bigger prize. Been reading the hype on the new Solaris.

Why can't we get earphones that sound like the Andromeda or Solaris for 1/10th of the cost. It this too much to ask?!!

DM6 and Massdrop+ both do vocals well. I think Massdrop needs to get over themselves and drop that price a bit.

Magaosi K5 sounds great with vocals too. If $200 is your budget the K5 or DM6 do vocals good. Just my opinion of course

Thanks alot for your help, you really do have great content over there on YouTube. My last question would be do you feel the tenhz pro would be just as good for vocals only or is the dm6 still better? It's because I could save a load more and just remembered that you said the tenhz pro was very close to the dm6's sound. I don't care about bass as I have the os v3 for that.

Yes. My only gripe was for raising bass via EQ but if that is no prob for you then yeah that has good vocals and overall tuning. Save that cash. Christmas is coming

Would you still recommend DMG or is there any other earphones that you would recommend around the $100-$130 price range?

I don't care about eq and basically just wanted a clean upgrade from my <$50 earphone at the moment.

Thanks.

I still rec the DMG. Another option is the Anew U1.

You did mention about TenHZ p4 pro being close in terms of sound to the DM6 but later on dismissed p4 pro due to the low end not reacting to EQ .

Since Dm6 is better than DMG, can I say that if i don't eq, the p4 pro would be a better choice over dmg?

P4 pro is more balanced while DMG has a warm tilt. If you're going for a more balanced tuning the P4 pro is a decent affordable analog of the DM6

So no 1 is better than the other?

Thanks for your rec , just ordered the DMG and gona be at peace with my decision .

Thank you @thejoker13 for your balanced and agreeable words. Yes, I have been one of those who may have stumbled in the very HotFi worst (beware not in communications only, though, those dynamic gentlemen), and it was my first AE buying too.

Hopefully now the legit Toneking seller with his reported 100% positive fb rate will make it up in the right times before I will back to penon forever.

AE is a strange pretty jungle-ish site for ecommerce not to join without a Paypal account (and i kinda despise Paypal, but here is totally mandatory to have money back in the short time becouse of the scum sellers'density).
I hope T66s will prove so great and worth a IEM as some reviewers said.

I know Hotfi has issues with communication, but I have always received everything I've ordered from them. You're entitled to do what you want and I don't blame you for your opinion, but I haven't had some of the negative experiences with them like some people report. You can save alot of money from ordering from Hotfi, but it definitely won't be as smooth as ordering from the official store. So you need to balance and decide what is the most important aspect to you before ordering. The official Toneking store is great to deal with and will give prompt responses and fast shipping, but you will definitely pay extra for their service. Personally, I wish everyone would order from the official store and have a great and positive experience, so the Toneking name doesn't get associated with so much negativity like what happened in the past with all the Hotfi nonsense. I feel that hurt the brand and it's a shame because of how awesome, and underappreciated that they are.
I hope you enjoy the T66s friend! They're a rare treat for their cost and only get better with the more time you spend with them. Personally, I find them to be the perfect balance of the T4 and the T88k. Please share your impressions whenever you can then. I believe I am the only one around here that has them, other than you now!

The Solaris Hype is getting to me. I was contemplating spending on some new in ears during 11/11 sales but. Like all nice things you have to pay to play. I will try n be good not to splurge during sales day. Though this will be difficult. I do have a few cables I am most definitley gonna snap up but otherwise. I hope to start saving up.

I can most definitley see the Solaris in my collection. That earphone seems to be playing at a similar level as the IER Z1R I heard at Can Jam. I read some rumors that the Z1R is getting a retune for some odd reason. I thought what I heard sounded great but I am sure Sony is doing this for a good reason.
