Im expecting XENNS UP to top them all😂
Well, prcie-wise they are closer to the Clairvoyance/Monarch range, rather than IST50/EST112/Oracle range...so it may top them...although I am expecting LAND to be a close contender nevertheless.

It wouldn't be the first time Mangird topped everyone's recs for a while at a given price point.
I see it have extra pairs of BAs hence the most costliest among them. I hope the Beryllium on the DD tuned nicely compare to Dunu EST112.

It might be a triplets now compare to the oringinal Twins.😆

Perhaps your not a fan of his library.😆
When the guy says that his best/favourite sound was coming from dynamic drivers - that is not from real non-amplified instruments - what is to be expected: how much bass is not too much to rattle your..., and how to make treble to sound non-offensive relative to those dynamic drivers :ksc75smile:

Are you in for tribrids?😂

Not into EST- based ones.
In my very limited opinion, the technology is overrated relative to what it offers (and the high voltage in your ears:))

Technologically, it eludes me why piezo transducers are not further developed, just right mechanical amplification, but perhaps BAs are just simpler for similar functions.

I have MT300, NX7 pro and I3 - all interesting IEMs, but all-BAs suit my listening preferences the most at the moment.

Yeah, perhaps you're right. Why 64 Audio still in all BA era.☺️

There are hardly any "rights" and "wrongs" in this hobby.
There are different listening and other (like exploring new technologies) preferences - and it is great that so many options exist.

Then the preferences can evolve :relaxed:

It all always comes down to tuning 😆

Yeah, once companies figure out how to tune out the peaky harmonics from the electret drivers, they should end up appealing to a much broader range of people. I am looking forward to TRI's upcoming tribrid replacement for the i3, since planar magnetic drivers are as intriguing as always and are supposed to have fantastic timbre in the mid-bass through to the lower treble range. The i3 being a DD+PM+BA configuration.

Well, this is happening (not with me yet, but on its way)

Guys, I think I discovered something epic

Looks quite similar
and there is already claims on GS Audio being the OEM for Fearless
Both have the same driver count, might have the same sonion BAs as well. Only a different DD and a different knowles BA

Price difference is ridiculous if this is true....
