Right. Though I do have more expensive gear, I've been just as happy with the KZ Ling long + 15 year old Sansa Fuze or my ipod. No amps. So this is available combined for what? $50.00? $60? The IEMs are $15.00. Totally satisfied for on the go, cheap, no fuss sound.
LOL I think I still have a Sansa Clip and 6th gen iPod Nano laying around somewhere. Those were simpler, much cheaper times.

Wow ?? This can’t be true…all sonion knowles
4EST+3BA+1LCP for just $231😳

Well I know this Night Oblivion reuses used BA, so I can understand they can offer at that low cost for such a high spec.

If that Night Oblivion VE8 Silver Oriole is a hit, I may poke this brand more 😄
The YS Sword has been mentioned a couple times here, but there is no info anywhere except on taobao, which you need to read Chinese and then jump through hoops to get something sent out. Too bad.

I have already “bitten” the Simgot EW100P, so I don’t think I’ll review this one. I have a good feeling that KiwiEars wouldn’t disappoint with the tuning. This should be a classic 3-way (2+1+1). Unlikely for them to mess it up, especially after the show they put up with the Orchestra Lite.




I’m listening to an old recording of Dvorak’s Symphony No.9 from around 1991. Recording technique was still incredibly good back then. There is a slight fuzzy to the sound that gives it a sense of nostalgia, yet micro details (page flip, chair shifting around) and soundstage imaging are very good. The oboe floating up high on the stage in the second movement with the string section floating on the left, slightly further away, gives me all the goosebumps.

Setup: FLAC => L&P P6 Pro => Dunu Hulk Pro Mini => SA6II (atmospheric mode).

Mine were both sitting at the bottom of a box in the closet, and I went looking for a box for someone who bought something off me wanted, and I also found the charger, so I decided why not? I was traveling to Florida, and so I decided to use the Fuze and iPod, and well, they both did the trick, and the battery lasted for the trip, so I've added them both to my active arsenal. LOL

Yea my guess is same 1+1+2, asking Kiwi for their confirmations.

LF for your EW100P review!

Oh yeah you piqued my interest buying one of them, i can found some used for a cheap price, can they play flac ? How it's compare to modern dac, dap or dongle?

I mentioned it like a very long time ago, the original was 1+2+2 cost around 2700 yuan on sale (around 400$), it cheaper than EST112 and graph similar to it. But it getting more known now it seems 🤔

The Sansa can play FLAC and hi res FLAC too. The iPod can as well when you download a FLAC player, otherwise it's mp3. Both can hang just fine with modern DAPs. Great sound is great sound. If you can pick one up for a song, then I advise you do it.

Oh and if you pick up a Sansa, Rockbox it. It's kind of like having MSEB like EQ control and sound improvements like surround and soundstage widening.

I’ve heard good things about the sword, but I’m very hesitant to buy from a brand I know nothing of and a new store. As a Californian I really only do Amazon, headphones.com, Apos, EBay, shengin, or hifigo and Linsoul. If your know of reviewers I’d love to see or read them tho.
