Things are moving too quickly right now with so many well tuned single DD's coming out. Moondrop Chu remains great value with the included tips and would suit you if like your tunings bright leaning and only have $20 but I think it's hampered by its lack of macrodynamics, light noteweight (unnatural at times) and creeping sibilance on some tracks. If you like a well balanced tuning and can save up $35 the Shimin Li is a standard-setter at this price. Comparing the Shimin Li against the Reecho SG-01 OVA ($49) there's not much in it on the technical front and tonally they are both excellent. I would pick the SG-01 OVA if you prefer a V-shaped tuning with your mids slightly further back.

Quite interest in Shimin Li cause of the look. Well i want a foward vocal/ midrange so Ova might not suit my taste but thanks for the recommend tho

CCA CKX.

Well, there's the power-hungry Final E5000. If you DAP or dongle is up to the task, the E5K offers a similarly immersive low-end experience.

Just got this beauty in.

Went for the gold ones to compliment my silver Heart Mirrors. They are a bit more gaudy than the silver ones but so are my HANA 2021s

I'll post some updates after I've had some time with them. Let's see if it indeed is a better Heart mirror or just an equal that is slightly cheaper.

Also got a KZ ESX on the way as well. should be here soon... and will be the last single DD for a while. Out of the last 10, 8 were single DD.
Looking for a nice all BA or hybrid/tribrid in the future.

Nice! I ordered the gold too.

It truly has been the season of the single DD!

Very interested to hear your thoughts on Heart Mirror vs Shimin Li and whether they really are direct competitors from a tonal perspective. The Shimin Li sounds neutral to warm to my ears and everyone said Heart Mirror was bright.

How's the bass compared to the Heartmirror?

Can someone compare KZ ZAX and Reecho SG01 OVA? How do they sound different?

Tipsy TTROMSO is a great upgrade to CA16, it has the same warm tuning but better stage and separation. It's not sparkly on top but everything sounds rich, full and smooth. If you want a fun non-fatiguing IEM this is a steal for $89. Cloth covered cable and no included Case.

For an extra $20 the TRI Meteor also has a smooth, warm U shaped tuning. Quality of included accessories makes the increase in price worthwhile.

Either of these is a great pick if you want a lifted mid-bass rather than a sub-bass focus. Both also have good note weight and natural sounding instruments. If you want zing in the treble, these are not for you.

CCA Lyra
(seems to be 1dd, price unknown)
Updated with Graph from kz-Discord, with comparison to EDA-bal from Xerus in KZ-discord.

Updated EDA-Bal to be closer to harman treble target?
