At work, so can't watch video. what was his take on x-One vs Tipsy (which I own)?
More upper mids on x-One and less mid bass?

Good question, I fast forwarded the video? Someone knows!

Hifri have been hyping this one few weeks ago,
him being more of a Driver reviewer (and iem DIYer) should have good grasp on what he is talking about.

Wasn't the MiM Dark Magician revised at some point?

Hi-Fri opening the revised version be like: NO WAY! The revised DM has a 3 DOLLAR QKZ DD inside!

I'm glad I didn't buy this IEM, my gut told me this IEM was a ripoff at 600 bucks.

There are so many scams in this hobby, I don't think most IEMs are worth their MSRP.

Thank-you! Well, the TTROMSO really wakes with some different cables in my use. I feel it is criminally underrated! I mean how the TTROMSO fits and feels!....oh and the sounds! Big warm and bass ridden!

SIE and TTROMSO came out on top with Reecho SG-01 for budget option. Sea Elf Darkest followed by X-One. X-One graphed with less upper-mid and treble energy than TTROMSO.

TL DR; I'm happy sticking with TTROMSO!

Akros comparison of XSL X-One vs Tipsy TTROMSO vs Reecho SG03s vs Hakugei SEAELF​

​

This is why I enjoy Akros. Dude seems to have my ear. Now we do have a couple divergence, but mostly it's right on. His SeaElf ear is right on. What a waste of $80.00. It's not even worth $20.00. Maybe for $10.00, and that's because of the modular cable. It's just weaksauce.

My Sea-Elf got sold fast after I wrote a review for it. Gave it 3/5 and that is generous, I would have named it the Sea-Monster instead.

Nice seeing the Ttromso, I like it and use it from time to time. Had some driver problems and rattle for a while, that after not using for months settled itself.

He has good ears, and almost always I agree with him. So even if his earlier videos had poor sound I preferred watching his reviews over others.

When you get a chance try out your Vocal Cable on the Tipsy TTROMSO PineStone Sea! Truly it doesn’t quite bring up vocals like the H40 or ISN EST50, yet still great none-the-less!

Tested it trough 4 of my test tracks, specially on Mexican Margarita the sound has more fulness in the Spanish Guitar. Interesting. The design of Ttromso and Vocal together looks, like crap

This song sounds absolutely fantastic with the KZ Ling long.

I raise you a mexican margarita with Ottmar's Merengue.

Your right the two don’t look well together. Maybe Penon will someday release a Vocal Cable inside a new neutral jacket, or something, you know make it look less drastic? Still I don’t care, it looks good will lots of my IEMs and perfectly matches the SHOZY B2!

Doesn't look great on my CA F5 either, but it sounds amazing!!

Wonder what ever happened to the HBB Maka? That is one that will never see the light of day?

There are so many scams in this hobby, I don't think most IEMs are worth their MSRP.

simple example, one known store has on sale $2500 iem which they happily discount $500 so I bet manufacturing this iem is not more like 300-500 USD and so it is worth to pump the hype and legend because you need to sell just a few to get good money; same story with DACs where final price of these expensive ones are twice or triple the original one

So, I have been spending many hours today with this beauty Blessing 3, thanks to the generosity of a friend who loaned me the unit.

My impressions up to now can be summarised as “holy moly!”

Some main points in no particular order:

• The whole presentation of Blessing 3 feels effortless. It’s not that the IEM spends less effort, but it is me who has to spend less effort to detect and distinguish all elements in the mixes.
• Note definition and separation is way better than Blessing 2. The kinda-blobby musical notes, separated-but-not-quite-there presentation of B2 that annoys me is gone. B3 sounds pristine and crystal clear.
• The soundstage is still flat (well, it’s still a Moondrop IEM after all). But it does not feel 2D like the B2. The stage width is carried over, but this time we have a stronger sense of height and layering. Instruments can jump around the stage now.
• Bass is tight, but textured and detailed. It’s not the highlight, but not a disappointment when I focus to it. It feels almost like a high-end BA configuration rather than average DD.
• The midrange is clean, open, and full of nuances. Vocals sound exceptional with B3, even more so than B2. Surprisingly, I don’t hear any shoutiness or harshness.

Yup, we are back to the equilibrium from a couple years ago but with new players: Moondrop Blessing 3 at $350, Dunu SA6II at $550, Monarch II at $1000, and U12T at $2000.

Now, if only ThieAudio release Monarch III and 64 Audio follows up with U12TII (U12S?).

Edit: get your amps out. These B3 want more than than a dongle can provide. Even my M6U benefits from the amp stage of G5 to push these B3 to full potential.
