Any suggestions for a nice leather pouch for my ie600 or a waterproof case? The bag that Sennheiser gives you is garbage. I hate bad, cheap non ykk or better zippers.
I really like this case, though it was $10.85 when I bought them, price has gone up a little:

Size is similar to a Pelican 1010 micro case, i.e. little smaller than the Audiosense/FLO Audio hard case. Unlike the Pelican and Audiosense cases it has removable foam padding on one half so if you want to fit more in it and sacrifice the cushioning, you can (at which point the case will be almost entirely clear, with just the gasket not being clear).

It shipped to me direct from China, so it wouldn't surprise me if there are AliExpress sellers, though in my quick searches I didn't find it there.

For some the TRN ST5 was a hit, though not for me, though the TRN TA1 was incredible as was the BAX. We see KZ getting creative with 12 BAs a side with the KZAS24, so I guess TRN will top 15 drivers per side with 1 more to make 16 drivers per side? Not that more drivers always guarantees success, but at times it does something. The 15 drivers per side TRN was $245, so this must be even more $?
Long time never try any TRN since VX last time, if CVJ is really under their hood, hopefully they are also getting better in tuning and implementation. KZ is quite good with their recent releases too.
Budget level is very tight in competition and also very wide market, for me myself also very interested in budget segment, watching who is the first closest to giant killer race.

Would anyone here have an AliX link to an inexpensive but still competent coupler that I could use to plot my own FRs? I would be very grateful!

Anybody tried Geek World GK100? Looks promising, and doesnt cost too much either.
The GK100 is the product I’m reviewing at the current moment. I will say it really does carve a place for itself with 3 DDs, 2BAs and 4 Piezoelectric drivers. There is nothing that sounds exactly like it for $200. Though not perfectly well rounded, it does half my library really well. There is a subtle unnatural unevenness to the mids and some unnatural treble that isn’t always noticeable, but at times it is. The lows are fun, and fast. Build is great along with fit. And the cable is one of the nicest ever to come with a $200 IEM!

I was asking about this the other day. Seems interesting with the driver configuration and the accessories, namely the Hakugei modular cable.

I will wait for the review before buying it, but your impressions are looking good for the iem so far.

These two albums are an ear event and very special with the separation at hand and speed with the Geek Wold GK100! Maybe my review will be done in 24 hours? Anyway they really are unique and different to me!

It’s interesting to me that TRN appears to be the only company that tried to offer a multi EST set at an “affordable” price.

The BAX is amazing, I still think so.

I’ll probably get one at some point.
It’s flamboyant, it’s bombastic and slightly intense. The Star Wars theme (opening music) is almost too much. Still unique and a special unit......to me anyways. Don’t know how totally popular it was? Maybe it was too expensive for the TRN brand to create? Maybe they would be better off making a price topped-out at $180.00?

AüR Audio Aurora bringing colour to a murky evening 👍 Or is it the beer having that effect?

Both:)

Edit: Is that beer really called Hell?
