The discovery thread!

I will certainly let everyone know whether they are bargain art of the year or one to avoid at any cost!

Yes, the colours look good and I chose purple as well, a bit more subtle. The entire package just seems too good to be true, so we will find soon if they are worth anything at all.
If nothing else, it’s a fidget IEM. Something to look at and play with while listening to your Starlights.

I like that! It would be even better if they sound like the TRI I3....the chunky sound of marbles hitting each other. I try to avoid them hitting each other for fear of causing damage but if they sound awful why not make them sing for the money!

Seems there's a few Shuoers on the horizon:

1) Shuoer Tape Pro:

Credit to the posters of the above links, have to google translate for the 2nd link. Seems there's interchangable filters and a bass adjustment screw. And good news, no more MMCX QC issues hopefully, since it comes in a 2 pin connector.

3) And this is the ultimate "discovery" since we are in the discovery thread: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...s-huge-huntsman-spider-hiding-HEADPHONES.html

Man "discovers" a huge spider hiding in his headphone. Wicked, maybe this may have added some sibilance to the music?

If the spider is poisonous, it gives a new meaning to, "dying for your hobby". A macabre joke but I could not resist it.

Haha at least the guy would have died in bliss listening to music. Not a bad way to go haha.

This also brings us to the favourite CHIFI term "female poison", where their local Chinese market likes boosted upper mids/treble cause they like female boosted vocals.

No one can say that pair of HPs lacked bite.

Now I am confused....

Why is there a tape PRO AND a tape 2? What purpose does the pro serve then? just a replacement for the first one with fixed QC and some added features and the tape 2 is the true successor with upgraded sound and everything?

(Also doesnt help that both of them are identical looking...)

Ya good question. I would have thought they should have just concentrated on tuning the Tape 2 and that would have sufficed as the Pro version of the Tape 1. LOL, maybe now the upcoming Tape 2 is a Tape 1 Pro Pro? Mind boggling.

Probably, the cynical answer is that 11/11 and Black Friday are coming, and 2 items on the market mean more $$$$$ for Shouer. Though it might dilute sales if they turn out to be sidegrades or marginal upgrades.

yeah, like which one should we get if we want the best one? (especially for the ones with the original tape.)

They really need to go out with more info, because this does seem like they are trying to milk us for more money.....
