What was that purple single BA called again?

KBEar Neon, I have it. Ah wait.. that FLO something? I recall it was also single BA.

Wow Tangzu is getting younger!
Vivid Red. Hopefully that doesn’t mean a V-tuned Li Shimin

Oh no, this one just came out. I think someone posted an alie link back in the thread.

I recall seeing review of this

This. The review title says "A vocal phone with rich and fulfilled sound" Of which it basically describes what low impedance ED29689 would do.

Here is the datasheet if anyone interested: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/218/Knowles_Corp_04072021_ED_29689_000_Datasheet-2295729.pdf

Monarch2 vs U12t vs Mest 2?

Well, I just got my A12ts yesterday from 64 Audio and I have heard the Monarch Mk2s, though they don't fit me well, and can borrow a pair for comparison purposed when I nail down a time to go try the MEST Mk2 so, yeah, I can make that happen. I'll keep you posted.

BTW, just posted some early thoughts on the FF5s in the Earbuds Round-up thread if you're interested.

I guess I need to request your comparison against Andromeda too . I'm torn between calling it a day or chasing the kilobuck train one last time to get something out-resolve Andromeda and offers better bass.

Man, I thought you were the reviewer... If I can set up a time to hang out and try the Mest 2 in the next couple weeks before I head across the pond I will let you know and I'll be sure to bring the Andros, the A12t, and the Monarch Mk2s along for the sesh. I'll give dude a call after dinner in a couple hours and we'll go from there. He's been wanting to come by and have a go at the Expanse anyways. I'll keep you posted, brother.

Hot take as a "reviewer": grab a competent mid-fi IEM (which one? any of them: Vulcan, Talos, SA6, FH7s, FH9, JD7, Penon something (?), Yume 2), grab a high-impedance flathead earbuds, grab a competent DAP (M11+, M6 ultra, DX170), and get the heck out and start listening to music. You've already win the portable audio game

Okay, then I guess this is goodbye...

Mate, you and I are here for the game of buying and testing gears themselves I'm talking about people who want to build a portable setup to enjoy music at a high level. The gap between mid-fi and (multi) kilobuck are quite close, in my experience, and even if you pay multi kilobuck price, there is no guarantee that you would get good stuffs (but you will convince yourself that you've got magical stuffs anyway, to justify that hole in your account).

Still no luck with the Discord? We ping you regularly there

Btw, you should share FF5 impressions here as well. It's also "discovery".
