@audio123 don’t say that, I don’t want to buy another iem

I’d drop soundpeats gamer no.1 to that.

A merely $32 TWS IEM, 2x6mm DD, looks nothing special and the title “Gamer” makes an impression it’s not audiophile target supremacy, not really, I’m experiencing better poaitional accuracy than both MEST MKII or RSV Resolution and others are just average DD, but it’s got supreme and penultimate poaitional coherence Why $32 USD TWS can beat TOTLs

No worries trumpethead....to keep costs down, whilst echoing the GK10 ethos....I invariably use Reversed KZ Starline silicone eartips - extremely cheap & provide a perfect seal.
Because your turning silicon inside out - the surface texture is very grippy

Plus I keep one set normal for smaller bore and one set flipped for wider bore. They are cheap enough to buy a few sets to have on hand

There use to be a vendor on ebay that sold 20 pairs of starline tips for $1. I ended up getting 40 pairs due to them messing up on my initial order. Probably cost them more money to ship them than what little money they made.

You can do that tip mod with just about any earphones tips. All those tips you don't use that come with your earphones. Try them inversed. You might be surprised.

This vendor sells 16 pairs for less than $5.00 not bad deal. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...xp_id=c6585346-14c4-4302-b116-b261c7c82cdb-43

You can buy 3 pairs of the size you need for less than a dollar here. Shipping cost $1.67 to ship it via snail mail but worth owning some of these for the inverse mod. Some of the better tips you can use for your earphones inversed. Better than Xelastecs Imo. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/328...exp_id=789090c0-9e81-48b4-a1e8-8e3eec62262d-2

Same, bought the 20 pairs from eBay and kept asking them when they were going to re-stock. Drone parts and KZ tips

Boarding the GK10 hype train. I had noticed it was on Hifigo's Amazon US site where I can utilize some points and return if necessary but wasn't sure when it would ship. I believe she meant it would be in stock on their main store this week and Amazon US. Here is what they said

Hello Paul,

It's available on this week and you can also purchase from our amazon store. Because we won't sell it from our websire later.

Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099K92JQP/wired+earbuds/

The Amazon listing did mention that it was expected to ship out in 6 to 10 days from the date of ordering. Hopefully mine won't take too long to arrive, as the hype train is a bit overwhelming, so I'm quite curious how they'll actually sound.

On Facebook they mentioned the Hifigo stock arrives on Thursday. Ofc can't find the post now. But yeah I think 6-10 is going to be right.

After receiving my set two days ago, I took a break from listening to them yesterday - in order to take a fresh listen when I hit the sack. This enabled me to listen specifically to their stage. (I agree the hype train can be overwhelming) alas this set will reward you in so many ways. I continue to be amazed by what I'm hearing tbh. The 3D spherical holophonic imaging, layering, & separation of instruments, and female vocals are exceptional. Plenty of "air" so everything feels "live". Micro details are stunning - no matter how busy the track, you're always able to pick out and follow the minutiae of micro details - making binaural soundscapes / soundtracks an absolute joy! Authenticity of percussion, bass & sub bass are at next level! And as the mid range is so well presented - the timbre of jazz, classical instrumentation etc is perfection per(sonic)fied !! Hence - the GK10 are an absolute blast!...I also love their shells - very light, they perfectly align with your ears tragus (- providing an ideal seal.) So all in all, GEEK WOLD have hit this release totl'y outta the park !! - for which they deserve a great deal of Kudos, many, many times over !!

It's great that we now have an official graph.

Agree with all of the statements above, it keeps impressing me. Having said that I do want to advise caution, I hope the number of lemons is low and unit variation is minimal.
