Sure Principle of economies of scale!

Plus, good impressions here cause waves on the IEM sphere of the internet.

Are great price trackers. Its good to check out the price history to see if the deal you are getting really is a good one. Because sometimes, like in this case. It is possible for the deal to be worse than their sale price.

Seller commented” sorry that $255 history chart is no longer available. The factory updates the price.”

I was thinking it might be kind of a Mangird Tea on the possible cheap. I am waiting, but watching, on the Veedix.

Those price fluctuations are interesting. Thanks @RikudouGoku, you are like the shopper sleuth extraordinaire.

Ok, I just had terrible experience with Shenzhen audio, never want to have same type of terrible customer care...I’d find another shop that offers $250 range for Veedix Silver String. I found that seller is bette since they at least offer some discount coupon for the future, not like Shenzhen audio, simply replying with copy and paste.

Unfortunately, its only beteran/yaoyaotiger that got it...

Anyone heard the new metal shell Openheart IEMs?




Edit: ordered the top ones.

These (finally) showed up today. I'll be throwing them on burn in.

Shells are small and fairly comfortable, I have smaller ears so hard for me to find comfortable IEMs. They do have some heft to them, as they did not use a lightweight metal like aluminum.


Initial impressions: easy to drive, bass heavy.

request a comparison vs Moondrop S8,

well, in term of detail retrieval pretty sure it surpassed Moondrop S8 easily, and extension both ways since Moondrop S8 pretty sucks at extension

the cons: Arouse D8 is more fatiguing not because it has sharp treble, but because it provide lot of information

so if you want neutral with slight warm touch with really good resolution and don't mind with BA bass (though in arouse D8 IMO is on greater side but it still BA Bass in the end), i think Lee's Ears Arouse D8 is really good choices
