The discovery thread!

[Audio Fun]

Received some PMs lately on what's my 'Best Value' gear of the year. This comes as no surprise as the year 2020 is coming to an end. This year, I have tried many competent audio gears ranging from budget to top of the line. All I can say is that the market is going to get even more saturated next year. The IEM that exceeds my expectations and presents excellent value goes to:

NF NM2+. Full Review Here

Just wandering which IEM go second, is it Penon ORB?

Finally ordered A7 from NiceHCK's store and they shipped it immediately. Very impressive. At the moment I'm considering nm2+. Maybe I'll order that one too.

Wow that' very impressive. I ordered mine from KRHifi, hope have a better luck this time

Do you guys have any recommendations for a sub 150$ over ear headphones?

a lot of Sony products are smooth in the highs and 9o mi jidetailed. Seems to be the Sony house tuning. Now there are a few exceptions of note (EX1000), but those are the exception and not the rule.

What one is that?7

Reecho Insects Awaken = (4 knowles BA) = sale 300 usd (MSRP 330)




That name is going to give me nightmares. Wonder if it can compete with stuff like the Tansio Mirai TSMR-4 Pro and the BGVP DM8 (upcoming).

@RikudouGoku have you tested it?

Second is extremely tough to pick. Penon Orb, ISN H40, LZ A7, iBasso IT00/IT07/AM05, Dunu DK-2001/SA6, Fearless S8Z, Reecho Insects Awaken, etc.

That’s actually hard to pick, I am more interested in the reecho insects awaken, can you please share some impressions with me?

Very soon bro.
I think the very fact that Reecho included the Acoustune AET07 & AET08 tips shows they mean serious business for their new Insects Awaken IEM.

So did you like NM2 + more than LZ A7?

I like both equally but in terms of value, I have to give it to NM2+. It exceeds expectations at its price point. That's my opinion.

@RikudouGoku have you tested it?

Nope and not interested in it either since it is all BA.

Anybody know more about this...

Looks like the AP80 replacement maybe. Thinking(hoping) it keeps the FM and has up to date BT.

Well let's hope they don't go promising podcast and audiobook features and then never getting around to actually implementing them
