Ian Fann said the Tachhjim was really uncomfortable. So that gets an automatic fail for me.

I'm gonna pass on it anyway after seeing those measurements, ain't got time for these 10k nulls.

Fiio FF3 is nice. My desire to save up for U12t drops to almost zero after spending time with these ear buds. Absolutely useless when I need to walk around or taking a bus, though.

how's the BTR7 compared to BTR5?
is it decent upgrade? asking as daily user of aging BTR5

Ya buds are fairly useless for out and about but hey they have a unique spot in my rotation. I can't say I am a huge bud guy but I am coming around to the idea of using buds more often.

It is nice to break up the usual IEM regimen with a nice 14.2mm beryllium plated bud. Funny thing about the FF3 shown here. If you see the official graph on them it makes these look like it has a big sub bass roll off. That couldn't be farther from the truth. It moves so much air. That bass is big and pronounced on these. Definitely a fun listen.

From all indications that would be a yes as a few folks asked that very question on the BTR7 thread. You can certainly ask on the BTR7 thread. To be honest the BTR7 is the first bluetooth device I have ever used from Fiio well I supposed the UTWS5 would qualify for a bluetooth device but as a portable source that is. So far I gotta say I am very impressed with its sound quality. I just opened up the box. But you can certain ask that question and read the thread as others have asked on here. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fiio-btr7-portable-bluetooth-amplifier-color-ips-display-high-performance-dac-es9219c-2-thx-aaa-28-2-amps-3-5-4-4mm-outputs-one-click-“dongle”-mode-qualcomm-qcc5124-bluetooth-chip-btr7-is-on-the-way-to-our-worldwide-sales-agents-2022-8-3.963808/

Totally agree about the bass. I guess the large driver removes the need for boosting bass quantity. It's kind of the same situation with FH9 and their 13.6mm woofer.

FF5 is coming next month, though.

FF3 has room for improvement but for a $100 spot they are a blast to listen to. Sometimes you want that bass big and proud. These would fit the bill. Been burning them in with the BTR7..Will see how this one turned out but so far both products are excellent at what they do.

I have always thought Fiio was made up with a bunch of Bassheads. Lol.

More reviews on TRI HBB X Kai

(is it just me or are IEM names getting as bad as motorcycles in the 80's)

Ian Fann said the Tachhjim was really uncomfortable. So that gets an automatic fail for me.

Their predecessor, the Tanchjim OLA, was very technical (almost as technical as the famed HZSound Heart Mirror), but was quite ill-fitting in comfort and ergonomics due to a round shell and short nozzle. So folks had to spend a bit more on aftermarket longer eartips to secure the fit.

I am quite disappointed that the Zero didn't learn and improve on the ergonomic aspects from the OLA.

Sharur has trashed both the 7Hz Zero and the TRI HBB X Kai on YouTube. I won't be posting links, since views would only encourage him.

If he (she or it#) feels the need to sheet-post something, take that as an endorsement in the real world.

KAI v Zero - collab game changers and awesome tuning at their respective pricepoints.

 

[FreeWheelinAudioLuv2]

Not your standard planar either but at this point you all know DUNU doesn't do standard.

Yeah. Not standard pricing either. Expensive is standard for DUNU, though the EST 112 is my favorite listen, so worth it at that price point. Let's see where the planar price lands?

My quick review of the 7hz Salnotes Zero is out and you can find it here. Buckle up, there's a new ultra-budget kingpin in town.

Have a nice week!

Y'all have me so excited for the Salnotes Zero!

Yes absolutely, the laws of physics are tough.
