HEY! Who you talkin' about shouted the Titan V1.
Though I guess after that one it has been mostly smooth and polite treble from them.

Indeed. They used to have airy and forward treble on their IEM's, going way back to their DN1000 and then after the Titan, it was smooth and polite from there on out.HEY! Who you talkin' about shouted the Titan V1.

If the EST112 had just a bit more extension and air, to allow for more detail and transparency, it would be my #1 IEM easily. EASILY. It's still top 4, but it would be nice to be #1 for the price.

Too many combos to show here, so its easier to play with the tool.

AceBee also recommended the LAND. If I sell the EST112, i'll probably pick this one up?Tansio Mirai LAND,

Land is a sweet piece but treble will impress as aggressive to some

New thinksound OV21 full sized cans in the house. Woody timbre. Excellent dynamics, clean, rich, punchy full bass, very musical yet accurate sound signature. Its been a while since I got my Amiron Homes last year that a can has taken over my earphone time. These things are extremely well made and sounds superb. This is a preproduction unit and I do believe these will be making some waves here on headfi.
Headphone fans. Keep a watch out for these things.

Too have a the same carbon(graphene?) cableSo...I splurged on cables! From XINHS, presenting...
SCC74 - 7N Single Crystal Copper 4 Core
SS48 - 4N Pure Silver (Sterling Silver) 8 Core
CARBON4 - Single Crystal Copper Silver-Plated Graphene 4 Core
COPPERHEAD - Alloy Copper 4 Core
WHITECRANE - Silver-Plated Furukawa Copper 4 Core
COUPLET - Alloy Copper + Silver-Plated Furukawa Copper Hybrid 4 Core (Customised)
Except WHITECRANE, all the other names were given by me. XINHS was kind enough to laser-etch those names on the splitter.
Very very very bright sound with it. Super mids and highs, super soundstage but sound become a bright with, for example, Shozy Black Hole Mini

Do it. It's amazing...but needs at least 160 hours of burn in and a better SPC cable to sound best

Though I’ve been completely spoiled by the convenience, usability, ergonomics and active noise cancelling functionality of my TWS earphones for personal audio while commuting and at work, I still very much enjoy my Arias at home when I don’t have to deal with earhooks in addition to face mask ear loops and glasses. For wired listening, It’s hard to justify moving beyond these plus a decent cable and the Apple dongle for me, unless it’s to satiate curiosity. While they aren’t the last word in soundstage and detail retrieval, they don’t really do anything wrong tonally, providing a warm and rich sound that I really like while allowing vocals to shine.

Saturday reader about the LZ A2pros
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/lz-a2pro.25454/
These are ok at the price range but have a strange tuning. Uneven mids and uneven treble with a big bass end and you got a strange sparkly aspects of treble with a sharper aspects for upper mids and then a warm low end that casts a shadow. It is most definitely the most colored LZ earphone I have ever heard. It is not all bad the bass has some authority as it should for having roughly 12dbs of bass but at the same time all that coloration limits any real technical standouts on the tuning. These were made for the younger set that loves them some bass is the way I look at it. No way these were made for serious sound folks.

I know that these are not IEMs, but they were a discovery for me. Some pictures of the new "Edifier NeoBuds Pro" earbuds.
Got these via Indiegogo for about $80. Main reason I bough them is because 1) They have LDAC codec. 2) They are DD hybrid with one knowles BA. 3) They have noise cancelation of some sort, and 4) They are were a lot less expensive that the Sony and other earbuds with LDAC. Current price is $130.
Initial impressions:
- Out of the box they sounded clean and clear and Was able to maintain bluetooth connection (LDAC) for 25 to 35 feet, indoors, including some walls and floors. Background is nice and "black"(no hiss/noise) using LDAC from my old LG G6. But the sound was really bass heavy. Though the mids and treble were clean and clear, they were recessed. Looked at the tips provided. and they had much narrower core in the tips than the nozzles.
- So tried some KZ Star tips on them. Immediately the sound was much more balanced. These earbuds really sounded better with bigger bore tips. But there is a problem in that those tips stick out further than the stock tips; Because of that, the charging case will not fully close. The sound was so good, especially with "high noise cancelation" and LDAC being used, that I'd still keep them; Even if it meant having to put the tips on and off after each use.
- Lucking I found some slightly wider bore, double flange tips, that fully balanced the sound, and would fit in the case, allowing it to close properly.
For some reason, the "High Noise cancelation" setting sounds much better than the "Low Noise Cancelation"; or the Setting No Noise Cancelation. It's like with High Noise Cancelation, you get a different overall equalization setting; and it sounds great! I was indoors and did not hear any increased noise with the other settings, so that was not the cause for the sound improvement of the High Noise Cancelation Setting.. If I planned to use them, I'd probably set up a custom equalization curve to improve those other two settings.
- A fourth setting called "Ambient" added a hiss that was not there in other settings. Guess that is from the microphones. I did not test out using the microphones for making phone calls. Got these primarily for music listening.
Also, the Volume was a bit low.. So I added back 9db of Gain to make up for the volume lost by using REPLAYGAIN on my tracks. That gave the ability to play at good volumes at about 80% setting in USB Audio Player Pro.
I've not heard a lot of earbuds, but with the right tips, these really do sound great. In a blind test, pretty sure that I would have assumed they were wired.
