Tansio Marai Sparks. You would have to assume these will sound good using 7 higher end BAs and 4 Sonion EST drivers doing upper treble duties.

Some of the best mids I have heard on an earphone. Just based on tone alone I can tell they are using a higher end Sonion BAs two of them for mids. This thing separates every part of the mids in a valid field your hearing. Everyhing has space to it. One of the most refined sounding earphones I have ever heard. Vocals are on another level on these. The only real negative is that the accessories package is a bit lack luster for a high end IEM but your not gonna care once you hear music flowing through these.

By far Tansio Marais best to date and priced accordingly. Large spacious sound with a very high refinement level to all aspects of the tuning even bass. Using 4 vented BAs for bass. These aren't bass monsters as you would have guessed but the quality and detail in the bass region is right there with the rest of the signture add to this a sparkly extended detailed EST treble. These are easily some of the best earphones I have heard. The tonal accuaracy imaging and detail of these things are just amazing.

Yep pretend that cloudy "S" shape squiggle is not there as it is just a reflection.

3DT is well regarded and said to have more potential. I always like a good 3 way so had to try especially since I still have the solid ISN GC4 which is a nice color match and seems to be a sonic match since the 3DT is not trying to be a bass monster more than trying to be a bit technical and a sonic experience of 3 dynamics working together in the right way. I think I have a new flagship and something that beats out the AZLA and GC4 for best bass. Those two are kinda brothers from another motha...

Both big earphones with eerily similar cables and 2 pin and have Dignis cases and are bass champions that were $10 off from the same price when released. 3DT is like the new and improved and better tuned to match the GC4 :) having the more tamed midbass. They of course look better and fit better too. At the prices I bought the total is $509 with the cable but that is good value for the champion bass sweet mids and 3 drivers allow them to have high quality and cohesive treble that has a certain something and blending from a different driver is great for the layering and placement and of course the separation. Of course still need to give it more time to flesh out and settle in any way it might but they are gonna be one to relax and enjoy for a while as something that ticks all the boxes both technical and for a fun, lively, organic, well crafted multi-dynamic presentation.

Hope it won't be as "violating" as the traditional deep fitting bullet shape Etys of the past!!!
Sadly the nozzle seems just as long as regular Etys. I can't use the ER2XR at all for this very reason, causes physical pain and that ruins everything.

Does this look like the Aurora in yesterday's scenery picture?
Is it the one that you described in your sentence?
Aurora makes its debut today and will bring about more information in the near future!

One thing about Aurora is that its sound can compete with the Believe's! Please stay tuned! :wink:
