It's my favorite iem in my collection. Even more so than the A7 or NM2+ (though with the NM2+, it's oh so close). Ultimately the bass wins out over both.

Probably I don’t have much experiences with the IEMs for this price range, and I give the high expectation to it, Anyway, great set for its price range, totally impressed by its tonality.

Thanks a lot!

Got an interesting one incoming TaoBao only Leisurely Audio L12. I believe this will be the only one in the US. 12BA Knowles and Sonion drivers for $550

Got both of these in today, courtesy of my twin daughters. The Q1 mk II is tiny!! I was shocked at how little and lightweight it is compared to my Mont Blanc's. Sounds really good OOTB, and i'll have more reactions later. Same with the Pioneer CH3. First Pioneer's i've owned in over two decades, since i owned a Pioneer Tape player. It sports a Graphene microdriver.

AKG N200 just came in. Was a total impulse buy on Boxing Day since it was being cleared out at CDN$30!

$409 what???

I have a feeling that AKG (now owned by Samsung) might’ve sourced the eartips from Azla. Included eartips are similar to the SednaEarfits short in design.

Charging it now. Measurement and first
Impression coming up soon.

Aaaah shoot! Should’ve bought 5 more at that price lol
This sounds freakin amazing. Even better than the N400 which Crinacle rated number 1 for wireless in-ear and I wholeheartedly agreed.

Tonality wise this is definitely my top 3 out of all my earphone collection.
Probably closest representation of the Harman target curve I was searching for.
Of course technicalities are not as good as wired counterparts but I can probably listen to this all day long as everything sounds correct to my ears.

So much positive input on this thread about the MT300, that I decided to go for it....from MissAudio. Hope the triple driver mixture brings as good a result as the TRi i3. Will the TDK Electrostatic Driver or the Planar win the day? We shall see. I've been using the HiBy R5 as my source, but if we ever come out of lockdown in the UK, I fancied an amp to put on my mobile phone, so I found a sale and bought the IFi Hip Dac. OMG! Not that I believe in OMG, but the 4.4mm from Hip Dac sounds great. It's clear that a good DAC with plenty of power brings the best out of our IEMs.

I'm also pretty tempted of the MT300, but the often faulty MMCX connectors for now still putting me off Prefer 2Pin at any point.

But if you find them really outstanding and amazing, maybe I will ignore the MMCX problematic

I have the MT300s for about a week now. No issues so far. Already connected/disconnected the cable for about 5 times and the mmcx is still good

I trust the perpetrators of the rec of the MT300. I do agree that MMCX can be problematical, but I probably have 15ish MMCX IEM's and only one cable had a problem. It's all pot luck from ChiFi, but in general I have been lucky. I have to trust the volume of head-fiers who rate these. I paid £63-20 from MissAudioStore including VAT (Arghhh). Leaving the EU has increased the price of IEMs. I cannot even imagine AliExpress will send the VAT to Boris Johnson, so it's a lot of old B******S.

I bought the MT300 too, I usually avoid BA/hybrids/tribids/etc but as I never heard an EST this seems a good proposition.

With regards to the scrapping of VAT exemption on items purchased abroad of value less than £15/€22, it has little to do with Brexit as it originates in an EU law which was meant to come into force for the EU at the same date but has been postponed for 6 months due to Covid, Brexit only gives us a 6 months head start as we didn't similarly postpone.

And sure Aliexpress will forward the VAT to the UK, as all items coming in will be scanned and will need to have VAT paid in order to get through customs. Not sure how this works in case of returns and or refunds though, hopefully we won't lose the VAT value in these cases.

Though after you get the MT300 you still won't have heard an EST.
