I don't have any BLON's.

Just got my Blon BL01, $21.99 USD on Amazon

ViPER audio EQ on the Fiio X5III kinda works like MSEB (though not quite as intuitive and impactful), so it's really elevated the performance. If you can get one for $200, it's well worth it.

The Fiio X5 iii being on android, you could install the Hiby Music application from the Google Playstore or the APK. I suppose.

Just purchased my last IEM for this year.
8BA (Knowles) + 1DD called a Nimbus and looking forward to share my impression here when I receive it early next year. This IEM is designed and manufactured by Aur Audio and graph looks extremely promising. I will measure it myself to confirm the extension on both ends and how it performs in real life.

I ve got their 8ba model and it is very good, very balanced tuning and great resolution.

I decided to take a flier on my next KZ. I've never kept a single KZ i've bought, and that includes about 4-5 different earphones. A few months ago I sold a lot of 3 at once, but this is intriguing to me. KZ DQ6. The CCA CST shocked the heck out of me with it's performance and at $12.00, is a champion in the price to performance ratio, so I figured i'll give KZ, CCA's sister company a shot with the triple DD unit. If it's even as good as the CST, then the $20.00 i paid for it with coupons is worth the time and money. Seeing as high quality triple DD's are very expensive, with the cheapest being the JVC's, it's hopefully a bargain, and budget winner? We'll see? Not much cheddar getting laid out.

That graph though...

That graph though...

KZs graphs are more like cartoons for marketing purposes. They should not be taken as bible by graphaholics.

I haven't tried the Tape Pro, but a lot of its reviews have been lukewarm at best, so I'll be skipping it. And at the price range that they are releasing into, there's really lots of well regarded gems like Fiio FH3, Thie Audio stuff, TRI Starsea/I3, KBEAR BElieve, NM2+, Shozy Form 1.4, ISN H40, just to name a few.

Is it me, or are certain Chi-Fi brands inexplicably priced higher than their direct competition? I guess if it sells, that’s all they care about. Shuoer is one of those companies, IMO, as is Shozy.

Then again, maybe it’s just that companies like KB Ear and Tri are so very competitively priced for what they provide.

I did end up giving my 7Hz i99 to my son, but I walked away from the experience with great feelings. Based on that, the i77 for $119 would appear to be a worthwhile try:

You can get the i77 for as low as £53 on aliexpress. It's OK but a baby i99 it ain't.

I've just received the i77 today but I have the i77 Pro and i88 since a little while now and basically I think that if someone wants a taste of the i99 then there is only getting the i99 that'll do it. The i88 is the closest to the i99, the general tonality being somewhat similar but it's nowhere near as dark and is also peakier in the upper mids making it a standard energetic v-shape vs the dark yet detailed i99. i77 and i77 Pro are very similar to each other and are another flavor of v-shape with quite good bass but somewhat cruder upper registers.

Did have a brief listen yesterday. Was quite underwhelming, the strangest thing to me is that the positional cues sound like it is squashed horizontally while the soundstage is actually there.

Either my ears aren't adapting to the sound yet or it is like that.
Give me a few more days and see what would happen

Meanwhile, I did post my review about the Soranik ION-4 yesterday. https://banbeu.com/soranik-ion-4-review-the-experiment/

Was an interesting earphone around the time the Tape came out, and it does have some part that did better than the Tape
