They’re light as a feather though so if they fit your ears shell size isn’t much of an issue.
If you get a good seal, I would imagine the passive noise isolation would be impressive…

Really enjoying the Hifiman RE800 - I'm on holidays at the moment and brought a few sets of earphones with me but this is the one I'm reaching for the most. They fall into a more 'polite' and relaxed tuning category but with very good detail and resolution - perfectly suited for some of my electronic music library. Comfort is absolutely fantastic, barely feel them in my ears - really like this bullet form factor, which definitely has me hungry for more! 634ears on the radar and I see @Ace Bee took the plunge last year, I could only see your post on the fact you ordered them - how have you found them since?

A new iem from kz/cca house

CCA LYRA
[seems to be single DD]

It seems to use Xun DD shell (that cone on top of the DD was the give away).
a new generation XunDD? Possibly with the superthin membrane in CRA or their new Liquid Crystal Driver in ESX?

CCA CRA is pretty well recieved and so far KZ ESX have positive response
And KZ focusing retuning and rebuilding their single dd have pretty good merit on maturing their supposed house sound

It's time for KZ to issue an annual subscription for future releases 🤣

I am ready to subscribe for 10$/month
Or save up your money for something that sounds good and has all the drivers work not some thrown in used hearing aid BA'S? 🤔 But hey if you like em and floats your boat go for it.

I like the "mysterious" claim. KZ can plausibly deny the type of driver (or even the claimed number of drivers) inside if someone opens the shell up haha.

The bass tuning magnet is a brilliant idea. If BQEYZ incorporated the tuning cap or nozzle on top of the magnetic vents shown here they could have gotten double the tuning variants. Autumn is the best BQEYZ earphone I have heard to date. These guys seems to be getting better and better with their seasonal phone.

They have been dodging the inevitable winter phone though.
@Dsnuts worth a comparison with Vortex and Autumn now 😊

So true! And how quickly people forget… I for one won’t touch a KZ IEM… unless they pay ME a subscription… :)
