No. I haven't. But I am not doubting their sonic capabilities. They might be fantastic sounding. But I have very little faith in that brand's QC in general. And that's why I'm averse to paying significant monies to them. I might be wrong but it's better to be safe then sorry

LOL, to better be safe than sorry you'd better buy everything locally with a warranty. I think I've got 6 IEM's from this brand (and the MT300 on the way) and haven't had any QC issues with either and I also think that they all sound from good to very good compared to other offerings at their respective price points. As always YMMV but I really think that your arguments here is more true to Chi-Fi in general than this specific brand. Especially since you don't have any experience with the items you're asking people to stay away from.....

I agree with your views on Chi-fi, and I barely go in that price range without some decent warranty or a product which doesn't have frequent QC issues. I have two iems from this brand as well and I too like how they sound. I was sharing my experiences with this brand's IEMs. I'm glad that you haven't faced any issues so far and I hope it stays the same way.

Actually that is totally untrue. Many find the pro a very good IEM. We listen to reason not populism. Investigate.

Well at this point the Tape Pro has had a pretty equivocal reception with people coming down on both sides, which is anything but populism. I think @RikudouGoku tends to put forth a very fact-based account of what he is hearing and why he has the opinions he has. When he references an overall lack of detail retrieval, I already know I ought to be looking elsewhere given my preferences, especially at 130 dollars.

Yes, at 130 usd and at the current market where competition is fierce. Something like the Tape Pro is garbage and doesnt deserve to be priced like it is...

When the successor has had 1 year of development and manages to sound worse than the predecessor, at the same time that something at 33% the price of it (LZ A6 mini) also is beating it on all aspects. How can you NOT give it a bad rating? Thats the question....

It just is not true. Surprised to see a kind of tribalism on this site.

You may not agree with the review, but it doesn't make it untrue. Look, you have the right to your opinion, and you can state your disagreement with others' views, but labelling dissenting views as falsehoods is a bridge too far.

As you wish. It's quite fairly your choice. There are many different views. Enjoy.

I happen to agree with @dharmasteve that the Tape Pro is competent and, as can be seen in previous posts, I had a civil discussion with @RikudouGoku on the subject.

Let us move forward with our divided opinions and be civil to each other. There will be more to (dis)agree on in the future, save your energy. Peace 🤝
