Not to detract from the thread, I'm not sure where I should ask this but it's the biggest thread I'm following. I'm currently interested in an item being sold on carousell and I believe the seller is looking to sell within Malaysia only. As I am from the US I can't access the site and am wondering if a reputable member here can act as a third party between the seller and myself. It would be very much appreciated. PM me, thanks.

I have received the TFZ Tequila Pro.
What can I say? The debate was opened messages ago and you are right about many things. But I can't help but like the bass of these IEMS. There is also an improved clarity. It is true that I was expecting the trend to change, as it happened with the TFZ T2 Pro or the My Love 4. But it didn't happen. What is left? Perhaps a successful revision of the beloved No.3.
I like the exterior design too, it's small, it's closed, it's reminiscent of the Tequila 1, but more refined and elegant.
I'll put up some graphics and you can debate. I'll be enjoying its sound.

So basically it is an unabashed V-shape? It is even more bassy and trebly than the OH10, with less treble extension.

What about technicalities, stage, refinement, treble peaks etc. of the Tequila Pro.

With the Olina coming out soon at $99, I am most curious to find out how they compare.

Have you heard the OH10? I didn't pick them up since I thought the OH1's pacing was a little off.. Fit me like a glove though, and I know the OH10 is shaped the same.

Oh, no. I should have clarified that I based that statement upon the graphs in the post I replied to.

In the graph comparison, the Tequila Pro is even more V-shaped than the OH10.

You can use a package forwarding service if he is willing to ship within Malaysia.

I will write a review, but in a few weeks time.

The OH10 is heavier than the OH1, but they have the same shape and a very similar frequency response. But, technically the OH10 is superior and more refined.

Do you think I would similarly not like the OH10 if I thought the OH1 lacked coherency between the drivers?

I felt like I never talk about how to get good audio on iPhones, so here's my review on a lightning dongle, the Maktar Spectra X2. The name may not ring a bell, but NextDrive surely should, and they renamed to Maktar Spectra now, the company offering what I consider to be a really good sound for those who prefer the apple to the robots~

I believe so. I reviewed the OH10 and OH01 both, and even though technically OH10 had the edge, OH01 had more balance across the spectrum.

I might jump on this, just for the aesthetic.

This is my favorite combo at the moment. It's getting more eartime than the DUNU, Timeless, Opus #3, R2, Sony A55, etc.

The Fiio X3 III + Hifiman RE800 Silver. The single dynamic plays BIG. Punchy fast bass. Extended and sparkly treble that's airy and a wide stage. The only draw back? The recessed mids. Damn, if this thing was more balanced, it would be be a killer. A best of class IEM, but it's not too far off. Just V shaped. The timbre kicks a$$. Detailed with very good technicalities. Just odd to me that Hifiman, known for years as having killer lush and pronounced mids, tuned the RE800 this way? Still, it's such a fun listen. Addicting!
