The Hibiscus is a very good looking iem, Cable is very good. Not for bassheads but a pleasant listen. I find them comfortable but prefer the TRN V90. I'm still tip rolling so opinion may change

Sony Mh755 for comparison(Harman-esque) , quite sub-bassy but still doesn't have as much of a peak in the upper-mids. Taken from the same site.
Hmm... Just like everybody here I also have the MH755. A quick check, and the tonality of the two pair is not far apart. MH755 doesn't feel that much bassy, and DM-380 doesn't have that weird 3kHz peak like my (sold) Shuoer Tape.
I don't know, Otto's measurement of Spring 1 also has massive bass, which is not what I feel.

For Black Friday, Penon has the LZ A6 Mini on sale, $69.00 USD
https://penonaudio.com/lz-a6mini.html

I am so sad. After spending time researching this and deciding I would buy the A6 mini instead of the NiceHCK NX7 Pro, I have found out that my husband already ordered it .... before I even knew about the sale price! So, maybe I am back to the original plan.

Oh well, I really do like the UrbanFun... and others...

Fwiw my NX7 Pro should be waiting for me next weekend when I get back from my current business trip. I already have the A6 mini and enjoy them a lot. I will be able to do a comparison between the two.

I want to try the LZ A6 Mini, will it be worth it or I should just wait for the moondrop starfield? :|

I actually prefer Spaceship to MH755s.

"the silicone tips didn't get a good perch"
I'm kind of glad with each passing day that my order got cancelled on these. It sounds like it was for the better. No bass, peeling paint, tips that fall off. Hopefully these cases are isolated.

The cable sounds like the best thing about them.
My bad, I wasn't clear. By perch, I was referring to the level of seal, to my ear canal. The grey/orange tips hold onto the nozzle very well.

The Hibiscus is a very good looking iem, Cable is very good. Not for bassheads but a pleasant listen. I find them comfortable but prefer the TRN V90. I'm still tip rolling so opinion may change
For me, the Hibiscus purchase was serendipitous, after stumbling upon the sale price and seeing the finish and the stock cable.

Hopefully the Cargo Broker that has been holding onto my NX7 Pro for 14 days and counting will release them at some point soon and I'll be able to compare the two IEMs.

So, FiiO under their Jade audio brand has released their $50 offering. Perhaps more of a what we can expect it to be thing since it is made in relation to the FH1 which is already well known.

I have the original NX7, and I know Panda has it also. Have you asked to borrow his NX7 to see how you like/dislike it's sound? I would be interested about your impressions on the original NX7. Personally, I love mine; so I don't feel the need to upgrade to the Pro version. To me, it's a great earphone already, and gives me a sound I enjoy immensely.

Very nice looking iem! If the price is under $50, I'd be curious to try this set. Nice to see a set of Fiio iems, that finally use a 2 pin. I'm not a big fan of mmcx connectors especially if I want to use in balanced format. The blue set really looks attractive too!

This looks very promising, 13mm DD + 1 knowles BA with experience from Fiio. FR seems very good. Shells are also very beautiful!

+1 what DynamicEars said. I'd totally be willing to give this a try when it comes out.
