From Tanchjim's Weibo page, this is what the Kara will look like. It's going to be a high-end model according to them. No word on price yet.

What's the driver configuration on these gonna be?

No word on that yet either

Darn! I tried zooming in on your pic, but you can't really tell because of the distortion causes by the contours of the resin. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

1DD+4BA, where was an info somewhere

Appreciate you adding that info!

Another interesting thing I found scavenging Weibo is that the Stellaris is coming out on the 28th in China. This is what Google translate is providing me with:

• 14.5mm Planar Magnetic In-Ear Headphones [stellaris]
• 1um sub-nanometer ultra-thin diaphragm
• 2um precision etching circuit
• Build transparent and melodious sound
• Hear the clear and precise layering
• September 28
• CNY: 699

For fans of the NiceHCK NX7, they have released a NX7 MK4:

$109 - 114 USD, depending on balanced/single-ended cable.

Has tuning nozzles.

They would be useful if you had a cable without ear-hooks. Still (those dots) are really not needed as you go by the cable groove which you place facing out. I guess there could be a cable without polarity markings, but I’ve never seen one? Still a cable without polarity marking/s would be useless, unless it had ear-hooks of course.

What are the dots near the pins indicating?

Low-cost!

I'm also a bit late to the Aria SE party, They are my first Moondrop and arrived recently. My first reaction to them was they needed a bit of power. I see they are 32ohm, although very sensitive. Was the 2021 Aria 32 ohms as well?

Yup, same impedance but slightly higher sensitivity at 122dB/Vrms IIRC.

Would be nice to see if smb could compare Aria se to Titan s.

I don't have the Titan S sorry. I see @baskingshark has already replied with his impressions.

Pretty good bass shelf but ugh that high mids remind me of their SSR, super shouty reference.

As a big fan of the NX7 mk III, i'll be purchasing this, but they switched out the dual CNT drivers with dual BE plated drivers. The charm of the NX7 mk III is that for metalheads who enjoy speed, thrash, black, death metal, the dual CNT drivers are some of the best bass and fastest bass, which handles these particular genres with aplomb. I sure hope the BE drivers aren't a step back as far as quality and speed? If they improved the imaging and the stage in these from the Mk III, then this could be a real sub $200 winner?

I Have nicehck NX7 mk II
They just playing around with models, even MK I is same with MK II + red filter
(Red filter is raw, without damper), silver is with paper damper on nozzle and blue is double damper which means very bloated bass and overdampening sound.
I modded my NX7mkII with foam using red filter, so bass is the best result.
FYI all those nozzle don't affecting crazy 15khz piezo boost. Only high density foam can tackle that 15khz piezo boost, so whatever nozzle filter, they still will sound tizzy.
They just need to retune the NX7, drivers are good enough for the price IMHO.

From the photo, it's visible that there is 3 channel physical frequency division. 1 for DD, 1 for a big BA probably they'll count it as double BA and 1 another single BA.

I'd say 1DD + 3BA similarly to AQ4.

I see somebody mentioned 1+4BA. The one in the middle somehow can be counted as double but I can't say that for the other one sitting on right edge from the photos. Maybe I'm wrong. Let's see...
