NiceHCK store? I got also a very good deal of 230$.

How did you get $230? The best I’m getting for NiceHCK is $245.95

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).

That is one good looking iem!

I’ve purchased several items, this past year, from the NiceHCK stores on AliEx. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Very fast processing. I’m not in any way affiliated with them (or any company), just a satisfied customer.

same experience, I purchased a lot from them last year and some this year (including 11-11), and they’ve always been honest and reliable, friendly, I’m a fan!

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

Wouldn't be the first company to do that, would they shanling? Honestly if you want those get a full open android player and install apps instead. Clunky but works. I miss the days of just being able to use the apple app for it. Made it nice and simple.

True. Honestly the ideal device for portable video, spoken word content and internet radio remains the smartphone and not the DAP, specifically because high fidelity is not required (and frankly wasted) for such content. On the other hand, a smartphone has advantages of a large screen and always on data connection for streaming said content directly rather than having to load entire seasons of TV shows and film rentals via a PC like in the iPod days. While it is true that DAPs used to be able to do these things, I think that the dropping of these extraneous features frees up DAPs to be solely focused on music from a design and engineering standpoint, which reduces the number of compromises that have to be made. We therefore get better portable sources because of it.

Wondering what 2021 has in store for us. 2020 is quite a revolutionary year for audio gears.

2020 is quite a revolutionary year

Yes indeed. This year is revolutionary in all fields, not just for audio gear. Unfortunately...

It's like honey on a razors edge....do I....don't I? I've just received the LZ A7, I've got the Shuoer Tape Pro coming AND the KBear Believe on the way....urgggg....and the TRi i4.....and the KBear Lark.
It's a great deal for $112...a really good deal....but I have take back control of this endless stream of incoming IEM's. As I sip pandang leaf green tea, I am going to repeat "NO" like a mantra. I have simply enough IEMs and have had a great 11/11, so I'll be so happy to hear how good your NM2 + is. Enjoy.

I feel your joy and pain. I am trying to resist, 4 already, and 2 to come this month alone! Plus I am still considering the A7 and Believe. This is crazy! Not enough time, let alone anything else!

Yes! It has truly been an ear-opening and eye-opening year to say the least!

Yes, the NM2+ is a fantastic IEM, but so too is the Tri i3, Tri Starlight, and Tri Starsea from all accounts. Unfortunately, we can’t have them all.

I‘d say you’re pretty well covered already, and there are a lot of sidegrades to be had. The A7, however, is on a different level IMO, if nothing else, for its versatility. It‘s the perfect single IEM to take on a trip.

Could you compare the IT00 (which I own) to the NM+2? I may go for the NM+2 if it's better.

 

[BubisUK]

Has anyone spotted any good deals on Ali? Purchased TRN V90s for 16.23$ So maybe some other deals are lurking somewhere

NM2+ more neutral bass, forward upper midrange & brighter treble.

They’re very different. Technically, the NM2+ is superior in every way, but the tuning is completely different. The IT00 is warm, V-shaped, has good treble sparkle, and is a very fun IEM. It has good technicalities for an affordable single DD IEM. The NM2+ has phenomenal clarity, resolution and detail, with excellent speed and transients. It is much more neutrally tuned, but with some boosted bass to help counteract the prominent upper midrange. The IT00 is an easily likable and enjoyable IEM for most people, but it is colored. The NM2+ really has no coloration, but has a really significant upper midrange peak, that some may find edgy and shouty. Usually, with a little ear tip rolling and maybe changing out cables, most people end up loving the sound and technical capabilities of the NM2+.
