It comes with 2 pins 0.78mm now. The set that I reviewed uses MMCX unfortunately.

I posted my in-depth review about the Audio-GD Master 19!! It is end-game stuff, but for upper midrange price, and you'll probably grow to love it as much as I do after giving it a listen, regardless of your headphones, because this can drive pretty much anything you throw at it. Even works amazingly well as a preamp for high-end systems!

ALSO,



I made a video review about HIFIMAN Deva, a Headphone that can work both as wired, and wireless, it has Bluetooth 5.0, aptX, LDAC, and it's bluetooth module can also work as a USB DAC. It is better than Sundara, which has been a long time favorite of mine. Even better, I added a bit of comparison and pairing in my video, and with the usual sass and memes, to make for a fun to watch video!

What would you guys recommend for iems under $200 ($250CAD), detail oriented/neutral but not lacking supportive bass? (I'm not a basshead but I like something to be there, you know?) I've been eyeing up the tin t4 (~$125 CAD) and moondrop starfield (~$150CAD) but I want to make sure there isn't anything else I should consider. (I know both are well under my budget and if they weren't both quite so over $100CAD I would just get them both)

I mainly listen to new jazz and alternative pop ? (Alternative pop being like twenty one pilots and Mumford and sons kind of thing)

Thanks!!

My discovery is the Pure Digital Drive tech that Audia Technica uses in 3 of its headphones.

The d/a conversion from 96K 24 bit takes place in the speaker driver (not in an amp before the speakers)

it sounds amazing. It’s very “fast” good with transients and also sub bass / HF delivery.

I connect mine via 96k 24bit usb out from my Mackbook Pro.

read up on it here. You need to feed them hi res digital signal via its usb cable to get the magic.

read up on the tech here. It’s unique.

U can read about the TRI I3, sub $150 usually. I can summarize it as such: Sumo-sized Shells, Silky Smooth Sublime Symphonia, Speaker-like Soundstage, Subdued Sparkle.

On a serious note, I think if fufills most of your criteria except it is not the most detailed at the midfi CHIFI price range, but it is very smooth and non fatiguing as such. It is a Planar + DD + BA tribid, mild U shaped, with the lush planar mids being its strongest suit. Bass is not at basshead levels nor bass lite, but very accurate and tight with moderate subbass rumble. It needs amping to scale to its optimal performance though, as the planars inside are quite power hungry.

The shells are one of the largest I've ever seen in an IEM, but it fits my average sized ears with no discomfort, though it probably cannot be used to sleep on. But this huge shell gives the TRI I3 quite a holographic soundstage at its price range.

Good luck with your search!
