I bought the DB3 for my morning constitution; as it fits me criteria: an inexpensive option that will catch a lot of sweat and may get tossed in my bag, sans protective casing.
Yes! Very good point.
Hyping a product (from my perspective) has always had a negative connotation, as it invariably has over used sound bites/exaggerations in-bedded.Perhaps its time to STOP using the latest Buzz word 'Hype' with every sentence? especially as its becoming used for everything now which is frankly tiresome as it has started to garner a negative connotation
My point being that there is All the difference in the world between 'Hyping' something and wishing to share ones joy and delight in a personal experience of an IEM...
Something which Dsnuts obvisually does.
Wishing to share what you delight in should be respected and not turned into something negative
Anyhoo...just a thought - Nothing personal intended to anyone in particular
I have two words, D's, that will explain it all, BLON BL-03. 85% are into that right now and some are into the VE BIE and then maybe 4-5% slice of the pie left for the DB3. That is the current trending.
Of course watch out for the TAPE though not a real cheapie like the others. Gonna be one of the next big things. Train is still rolling slow enough to jump on
Wonder if the TAPE can be tape modded? (couldn't resist asking the question

I think it's important to make sure one spends as much time as possible with an earphone and to try with multiple eartips and cables. Music genres are also important. Some phones will sound better with certain genres, not so great with others. I've mentioned this previously in other posts here, and on other threads, like on the KZ thread. I don't believe in "one size fits all, that there's an absolute perfect iem, bud, headphone; that does everything and all music best"). Every iem, bud, headphone, amp, dac, dap, etc...is tuned for certain type or a few types of music. But certainly not ALL. That's why I'd rather have several sets that I can whip out whenever I want to experience different genres. I'm a music lover, first and foremost. I'm into lots of different types, styles and genres. I DON'T just listen to the same 10 songs from a certain genre, over and over again. I like to switch it up...alot! I can start a listening session with some old jazz, and by the time I stop listening to music and go to bed, I'm listening to metal/hard rock/80's-90's dance. There's no such thing as a transducer that does it all. If you're into multiple types of music (like I am), you need to find sets that work for you...and that means multiple sets that are tuned best for certain genres. Case in point: the TFZ NO.3. I did NOT like this iem AT ALL for SQ, when I first obtained them in May this year. As recently as less than a month ago, I rated them LAST, of the four iems I currently own. Within the past 2-3 weeks, they have moved up the ladder, based on the type of music I've been listening to ( old school Reggae, dance, funk, r&b) off Spotify. After a cable and tip change, this set now sounds excellent with that type of music. Folks, ya gotta not make snap judgements on your gear. Take the time to play with it a bit, and it can be rewarding. At this point in this game, I will NEVER sink kilobucks into anything; whether it be an amp, dac, dap, iems, headphones, etc. Not when there's so much great gear coming in at $100 and below. The TRUE discoveries, are those that do 80+% of what the TOTL gear does...at 10% or less of the cost. DB3, NX7, BLON BL03, KZ ZSX, CCA C12, TRN V90...are all under $100 and all give a slightly different sound signature. But they are relatively affordable and your can own them all for about a quarter of the price of something like Andromeda.
