what kind of exotic driver does it have that makes it $5,000? topological nanofilm liquid push pull electrostat?

It's made from unobtanium fused with unicorn horn dust and highs bosons aged in Himalayan caves!

Hifiman is at it again, now they've blatantly copied the design of the legendary SONY R10 and launched... HifiMan R10. The price? $5000, for the same headband and pad they use in their $150 models. I don't even...

It sound good.

I prefer Zero to Obravo Cupid already.

Could you be so kind to compare BGVP ZERO to Shouer Tape and BQEYZ Spring? I am still choosing between second-hand Tape and brand new Zero - price is the same.

A new Fiio BTR5/3 and earstudio es100 rival? It looks super tiny though.

Probably not as it doesn't seem to have the ability to take phone calls, no balanced output, no clip etc. It actually looks more like a unit for indoor usage to me.

Having heard the UM 3DD before, I don't have high hopes for 3DD IEMs. Recently, QDC released the Dmagic 3D and after testing it, I am in awe at its overall sound. Punchy bass without being overpowering, decay is quick. The midrange is transparent with a crystal clear vocals presentation. Treble is crisp and airy. Expansive and open soundstage. QDC nailed it IMO. Really good.

No mention of battery life or even having a battery at all. So I guess not really a rival.

Well, they did mention that more info is coming on 11th august.

True, maybe they’ll reveal new features then. But the description certainly reads like it’s a desktop device, which would explain why it wouldn’t need a battery like the ES100, Qudelix, etc:

“Topping has a good range of desktop DAC/AMPs including Topping E30, D90, A90, and many more...”

“the Topping BC3 also feature Line out function to give output to power amplifiers, speaker systems and feed them the signal...”

“This small device can be used to feed wireless audio signals to your existing desktop DAC’s with optical output interface, you can easily use it as a line-out source to speakers...”

Nice, 12 hour battery life!

So here is something interesting. Penon OSG. Just got these. So it seems Graphene is not only used for dynamics but how about higher end cables?
I posted about these on the mid tier cable thread but how they figured out there are sonic properties from Graphene material for cables is beyond me but interesting none the less.

Looks nice at least.

where do they rank? are they better than most dynamic driven earphones? are they good for the price range?
