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

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

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+.

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

I had additional coupons.

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

I believe that Chi-Fi especially made this possible. There were the iems delivering you the sound beyond their price points.

We've also seen new brands on the market. For example, Hidisz definitely made a good entry with Heart Mirror and my heart goes to that one. I eventually sold my tin t2 plus and KZ ZAX after having it. If you're looking for a sub 50$, it should be definitely in your collection. I'll never sell that one for sure along with Blon Bl-03.

In case of QC Chi-Fi iems still need time and some brands should switch from mmcx to 2 pin in my opinion. Tin Hifi already made that move.

You may disagree but I think there's a little inconsistency along with the new models some brands release. I believe they're not listening what their customers wants. For example, Moondrop has entered sub 40$ market with SSR and a lot of people were complaining about the peak at 3kz region. Then they released SSP and it occurred that it has slightly elevated bass but didn't fix the SSR's issue.

And another thing which I don't like is the naming that they used which makes people confused. For example, Blon Bl-01 or tin hifi t2 plus. I understand the fact that they want to keep their tier by the numbers but for me it creates more confusion when they do that. The best example I have for this is how Sony names their smartphones especially 'Sony Xperia 1 ii' which makes you think that next model will be like 'Xperia 1 ii three' but I believe they'll have another ridiculously creative idea to name new one...

The NM2+ is not going anywhere. Sales will come around again. Personally, I’d wait for the KBEAR Believe first. It may be everything you need in a single DD IEM. If you remind me later, I can compare it to the NM2+. Noooooo......Noooooo......Noooooo. That’s good meditation that I need to do more of . Right now, I’m convincing myself NOT to get another A7. I’m crazy.

If you get another A7, which amounts to around 10 IEM's, that's like owning 10 more IEM's for a total of 20! That is crazy!

The O800 is Oriveti's lastest flagship and their first foray into all BA IEMs. After listening extensively, I must say we are looking at a new winner here. Bass is precise with good definition. The midrange is transparent and there is a perfect balance of body & forwardness. Treble is crisp, airy and smooth. Soundstage has an open feeling. Will have more detailed impressions soon. I have nothing but praise for this IEM. Really good stuff. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always!

OMG

Since I don't plan on selling off anymore of my collection, I have reached my limit *knock on wood* *hope to God*. I was able to get the NM2+ for about $120 with coupon stacking and store discount, so that will be the last one for a good long time. @activatorfly and @audio123 convinced me to take the plunge, so since i was able to get it at such a discount, and i was able to sell the JVC FW01 and cancel an order for the Sony A55, I decided this is a worthy iem to add as a companion to the A7 and Tape Pro.

....so that will be the last one for a good long time.

UM Mest, Musicteck, from1399$ to 1189$. Available now.

I got burned twice with purchases over $500.00, so that won't happen again. I'll be happy with my mid-tier purchases that are 80-90% of the top tier stuff. Those two cost me over $1,000 with taxes and shipping, and neither turned out to be a signature i was happy with, so when i sold them, I got about $550-600 back, so i lost $400 on those deals. That's a whole new mid-tier right there.

Got my Victor true wireless in today..

Not the Spial Dot SF tips which will be here tomorrow. Using with M Spiral Dots that came installed on them. Small, easy to fit and comfy, no issues. Really very likable. I'm digging the barrel shape with no relief and cable exit in the way at all. Victor studio tuned them quite nicely. Big and open, they need some burn in but the bass reaches pretty low and is sweet out of the box with good separation and definition. Maybe the lower lows have a little pre-burn-in bloat on the edges and they seem a little slow while snares sound tight and quick so those lower lows stand out as pretty tight but not as much and a little slower. Sounds like they need some hours. Just open and you hear everything and everything sounds good from highs to lows. They deserve the Victor label and are a TWS you can not have to suffer vs. your wired stuff and spend under $150($146 shipped for me). Super early but very happy with them including very usable ambient and good mics.

Size comparo vs. my Sonata...

You will be in for a treat. The NF NM2+ is so good.

Spoiler: Only for those who cable roll

On a side note, using this pairing at the moment. The Penon Totem sure breathes new life into my Noble Kaiser Encore, excellent synergy. Very extended and tight bass expression, lush and clear midrange, smooth yet crisp treble. There is an enveloping soundstage. Relatively speaking, comparing to other high end cables, the Totem is very well priced.

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

$50 - Tin T2+
$90 - ISN D02
$130 - FiiO FH3
$170 - NF Audio NM2+
$320 - LZ A7

All these I would say are miles ahead of their price points even from 2019 let alone 2017.

Let's hope the Tape Pro is added to this list for late 2020, and i've got the NM2+ on the way and the A7 are already dominating my collection.
