The ER2SE and other etymotics wont suit me well since they are heavily emphasized on 3khz pinna gain. And lack of bass for me also. But we have our difference preferences right? And I always appreciate that differences, different perception or arguments Cheers!

Of course! I do think other Etys might not suit me tbh, I've only tried the 2's and any more pinna gain would be too much for me.

FR attached. Looks very clean/sterile but I still want to hear it...8kHz sensitive need not apply.

Yes. Well if you consider $650 a budget friendly price. The only catch on Yanyin stuff is that they are all 8 ohms. Meaning they go full bored sound in just about anything but you have to watch what your connecting them to. No need for a high output amp for example. It will make them sound not right. Anything with a low output impedance with a low noise floor and your golden.

I put a lot of work on that review and it has all of what I consider an actual flagship sound quality in disguise.

thanks for your feedback, the only thing I am thinking bout is whether any of those up to 600 usd could top at least the 64audio U12T

things i heard that are on the budget but non topped U12T
1- 7hz
2- alot of dunu iems almost all of them
3- and many from alot of other companies in the 100-200 usd range

my main question is whether any of those chifi iems up to 600 usd could top U12T, the u12t is an old contender so i thought maybe with chifi companies who do not have the running cost expenses as 64audio, would be able to come up with iems that r in the 600 usd range and top u12t

Sadly no, u12t is something special and sit up there with other Kings. No IEMs under $1000 that can compete with u12t as complete package AFAIK, of course I never heard all of them but I got experience with quite many IEMs. The Monarch mk II is close on midrange, but as complete package the U12t still above them.

I thought so as well, unless we get more opinions here

Short answer: no.

Wake me up when $600 chifi is better than $2000 64t.

More info about the 7Hz successor to the Timeless planar, the upcoming Dioko (also a planar, now a collab with Crinacle):

The 8khz area does look a bit fierce, but not sure if that's a coupler artefact.

According to some forum talk, Salnotes seems like a sister brand of 7Hz.

7Hz have several proprietary planar drivers in the pipeline and the Dioko driver is the first. I've been told it has a few significant changes compared to the Timeless driver in magnet distribution, conductive tracing and rear cavity dimensions. I'm eager to see how things develop over the next year or so with 7Hz, their work seems to be on the forefront of planar IEM production.

Rumour has it the pricing on the Dioko is incredibly aggressive and I reckon they will easily secure the monopoly in the Chifi planar market for the forseeable. If they can just nail the tuning choices for these near-future releases then we are in for a lot of fun!

It is time to stock up on 2 pin cables in anticipation for the release of the Dioko.
