Hmmm, price?šŸ˜³ Ariaā€™s only let down is its somehow muffled midrange, no matter how I tame, it just doesnā€™t get away. If that LCP driver one has clean neutral sigunature from top to bottom, with sub$100 tag, it may be an insta buy
why not going with Ucotech RE-1 ?
Single DD, should be sub $100, clean neutral
it's one of my favourite sub $100

Nah only interested in LCP driver. Not interested in CNT/DLC.

I've ordered the i88 Mini a couple days ago (along with a T5, IT01X, NA2+ & Jasper...), hopefully they are less peaky than the i88. I ordered a black version but it turned out it was unstocked so will get the silver instead.

Not sure why I bought all that, FOMO sickness probably, as I don't expect any of them to even remotely challenge the Turii.
Its updated i88, if im not mistaken those 7Hz iems are good in lows ( 7hz?)šŸ˜
I was reading an MIT research article about consciousness and that 7Hz triggered me that they may referred to this.

From the latest study, the anesthesia effect on tested monkey brain indicated that consciousness has something to deal with 7Hz electrical plus sourced from deep inside the brains; it reduces to 3-4Hz by anesthesia with loss of consciousness.

So, i might be a wee late on the game, but I got an offer for a 7hz i99 for 330 usd (used) and im looking at the lcp i88 mini

any thoughts? Yay or nay for an openly known bass head (me)
I will choose 8mm 1DD i88 mini because its better then Sennheiser 7mm ie900šŸ¤£

I have the ie300 for review, and it's...not good, not good at all...

If the latest 7hzi88 mini tuned right by reducing its size and new driver, it might be positive given the comfort in reduction of weight.

i99 is big v-shape with, obviously, recessed mids, bass is quite slow and not the most impactful/authoritative but it's rather clean. It's more of a warm earphone suited for relaxed listening and it takes a bit of time of time to get used to. There is a pronounced peak at 5kHz but it's not too exaggerated so that's OK. It's got quite big soundstage and detail retrieval is pretty good considering the quite massive bass bleed.

I enjoyed the i99 while I had it and agree with your assessment, essentially a comfort food set.

Plussound has exceeded expectations with their recently released Limited Edition Tri-Hybrid. This is the first cable I have ever tried that I dare say flawless. Simply phenomenal. Enjoy and Happy Listening, as always! :)

I looked on their website, but I couldnā€™t find the price. Is it the $299 cable?
