Some more IEMs from Leisurely Audio!
This brand has gotten pretty good feedback/reviews in Korea, apparently they are pretty populair there.
I don't know anything about this brand. Maybe someone on headfi has any exprience with this brand and their IEMs?

Leisurely Audio E7


Leisurely Audio E12
(8BA + 4EST)


Leisurely Audio D7 PRO

I tried to order the D7 from taobao, but the store didn't ship for one month so I cancelled the order. Too lazy to get a proxy service, but that's probably the way to go if anyone wants order from their taobao store.

Man those Leisurely Audio IEMs sure are purdy lookin'! Will be curious to learn more about their sound characteristics....

I agree, they are very pretty. Here are a few more pictures of some IEMs i found, enjoy!

Ah, too bad it took them so long to ship it out.
Do you maybe have or found some information about the D7? Like Frequency Graph maybe?
I think every little bit of information helps

There are some discussion in Chinese from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as their taobao store, the feedback has been pretty positive especially given the price to performance ratio. I think they are OEM manufacture so they have good wholesale price. The D7 is only 1000 RMB or ~ $160 USB for 1DD and 6BA, so I decided to take a chance.
Go to their taobao site for some frequency graphs, from the feedback and the graphs, they are mostly going for a neutral and smooth house sound.

Thanks for the update!
But wow, those are some nice prices! I kinda expected the IEMs to cost a lot more.
I'll try to get my hands on some of their IEMs. ( Never ordered from taobao before )
Thanks again for the information!

It is very obvious these are fakes. Do not buy these or anything that looks like an earphone that cost 1/10th the cost of an original on aliexpress is the point of this post.

in all fairness, it does say DIY Xelentos, so they aren't claiming to be real.

So I bought a pair of Senn HD599's from Amazon, with the payment plan, as a impulse buy to replace my Senn HD600 I sold a few months back to buy a pair of Mofasest Trio's that I didn't like and ended up selling. I like the 599's more than the HD600. They are both open, but the 599 isolate a bit more than the 600, and the stage is wider and more 3D. They do say refined and sophisticated tuning on the box, and this is exactly how they sound. First pair of cans i've owned in years (I wasn't a big fan of cans) that make me yearn for them when i'm using IEM's. I really love the HD599, and they are so comfy and pretty too. They aren't for bassheads, but they don't carry the Sennheiser veil like the HD600 did or the IE800 do.

I just ordered a pair of the brand new IE300 from Sennheiser, and they'll be here Tuesday. Reviews have been very good, so here's to hoping they have a more refined sound than the IE800 (they use the same driver, only retuned), with more stage and 3D presentation. If so, i'll be a very happy camper.

that's not bad all for a multi EST and BA. Surprising a little.

Yeah i'm surprised as well.
From what i can tell/read ( through google translate ) is that the L8 and E12 models are very very highly regarded in the community

While we are on the topic of thing you can only get on taobao, I've actually been debating between getting leisurely audio IEMs or from another niche brand called "earsir" or tianxing in Chinese. Their ES170 has been getting great reviews in Chinese forums, and it's price is also pretty good, you get 7 BA for ~$360, according to the impressions, it's got great bass for an all BA unit. I'm moving soon so I'm holding off on purchases from overseas atm, but if anyone here is willing to take the plunge and share some impressions I'd be very interested.

Just found out the new UM MASON Fabled sound Special edition will be selling for $6K. The Special is that they will cost as much as a good used car. Prices for flagships now a days is unreal. I am sure they will be praised by reviewers and will sound like heaven has ascended on your ears.

But for me anyway give me KBEARS KS1 for $20. Thank goodness for earphones we can afford. Lol
