Really intrigued by the Nightjar Singularity but need to see more reviews before I'm willing to drop $1,300 on a pair.

Not much upper treble in the FR but HBB gave it an 8/10.

I'm guessing the bespoke DD has some special sauce because the treble is probably getting lost with that big bass boost.

hey, do you know of a model in the $100-$200 band that has the same tuning as the waner sg? the dumb iems were so good I was amazed at how the mid frequencies were so good. If I do not count the bl 03, it may be my favorite budget segment iems in recent years. tight bass, clear mids and unobtrusive highs. The only problem was that it was a little whistling at high volumes. it was just adjusted to my taste, I didn't want to take it out of my ear.

there is one sr 5 in the cargo, its setting is far from waner. I love mid-frequency centered iems. I have detailed models, but I can listen for a maximum of 1 hour, then I get bored. I remember very well, I didn't want to take the waner sg out of my ears because it was so fun and well tuned.

Hello Friends,

I just dropped my review on the latest DUNU Falcon Ultra. I love what DUNU has done with the Falcon Ultra, with their new driver tech, the pair definitely sounds wonderful. Although the shells are still finger print and scratch magnets :frowning2:

Check out my complete review here:-

Some eye-candy like always(I am personally not satisfied with the images this time, I think I could have done better):-

You can try a Aful Performer 5. good on vocals with a sub bass boost.

p5 is said to have a strange sound stage. do you think so? basses don't need to be too big, fast basses are enough for me. bass is good though.

It’s generic IEM soundstage in terms of size, though positioning is better than average thanks to the treble extension. Fairly good deal as a whole. I have no use for it, but still take it out for rotation once in a while.

The sound stage is layered and a little narrow, but good front to back extension...

I might suggest the Letshuoer Galileo.

i don't know, I've read some weirdness about the soundstage in a few places. I've heard that p5 has a muffled soundstage. by the way, because of european taxes, p5 is in the 250 € band, it's hard for me to clear anything over 150 euros. I'm pushing up to 180 - 185 euros, but 250 is impossible.


so i can listen to different options as well.

yes, i read that the stage is narrow. It was in the €250 band, about $270. it's hard to get it through customs

Tanchjim Oxygen (used)
Moondrop Kato
Dunu Falcon Ultra

All of them have similar tuning with Tangzu Wan er with similar tuning (harman with bass boost) and have better technicalities than Wan Er.
All also single DD IEMs if that what you're looking for

If you want more mid forwarded, the recent Moondrop Starfield 2 have more forwarded high mids. I haven't try that myself but seems like shouty one, do your homework watching reviews first.
