After a couple months away, I have returned :)

As you might be able to tell, I have rationalised my setup and joined the dark side... (Apple + TWS? Unimaginable...)

I do have the Moondrop Arias on the way though :wink:

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe!

You have been very wise to stay away from headfi these few months. And congrats in finding your endgame.

Might probably have saved yourself a tidy sum of money not hanging out here!!!

BQEYZ is having a lucky box thingy at $49.99 USD:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002820135666.html

According to them:
  • It includes at least one piece of BQEYZ earphone with an upgrade cable, such as Summer, Spring 1, K1, KB1, K2, KC2, BQ3.
  • If the last number of the order ID is 8, you can get Summer.


Well their last lucky box thing wasn't too lucky, it seemed almost > 90% of people ended up getting the KB100 or KB1? Stock clearing time? But oh wells, gamblers will wanna gamble since the Summer is up for grabs. Any takers???

Kb100/KC2/BQ3 is still a decent return for the lucky bag but K1/KB1/K2 + cable for $49 is so off putting. Mostly it will be those $30 IEMs+ cable. 1 in a million chances of someone getting a Summer. We will definitely find some gutsy buyers as times since immemorial humans have loved to fight against the odds to pocket elusive/lucrative prices

Significant price jump from last lucky box. The previous one was like 20 US Dollars ? The items are almost the same too. The last lucky box was like 90% K1 and or KB1. I got a K1. For 20 dollar perhaps worth a gamble but for 50 dollar no way.

I just got a bit tired of seeing new budget ChiFi sidegrades pop up every two weeks haha. Life circumstances have also changed, I’m exercising and going outdoors more regularly, and TWS and ANC are excellent technologies for that purpose. I’m more into spending money on the (typically CD quality) music and supporting the artists than on transducers and sources these days if that makes sense.

Reading everyone’s impressions still very much interests me though! I just needed to figure out what my goal really is and, well, it’s really in service of the music :)

It's true if one's focused on the budget category then there aren't many genuinely game changing release often probably 2-3 IEMs a year so instead of burying more IEMs to the personal graveyard to make way for a new shiny toy, it makes sense to take a break. Great that you're purchasing music. Maybe you will get into the TWS rabbit hole but considering you're using an iPhone nothing would Airpods. Maybe you will just buy new Airpods every year to satisfy your inner audiophile 🤣🤣

Will they tune it as boringly as the other Moondrop products? Superb bass and mids and supremely boring and laid back highs? If that's the case, stick with the Mofasest Trio.

Might the graph is interesting for some. :D

The BLON 03 has closer to a Harmon 2019 curve, which is probably a large part of why people both love it and lament the peculiar fitment they decided to go with for it.
