The Singles' Day or Double 11 (11.11, November 11th), originally called Bachelors' Day, is a Chinese unofficial holiday and shopping season that celebrates people who are not in a relationship.
- Many Chinese stores have sales and apecial discounts.
- AliExpress also has promotional discounts codes (~10 to 20%); plus sellers offer discounted pricing. So you can usually get the best deals during "11.11". Sales start a few days before November 11th.

"Singles Day is celebrated on November 11. It is a Chinese commercial holiday that helps single people show their pride in being single. It started as a paean to being single, where solo students at China’s Nanjing University chose November 11 (because 11/11 looks like a group of sticks) to celebrate, rather than lament being partnerless. It quickly grew into a fun, unofficial holiday in which single people across China treat themselves to nice dinners and splurge on goods they wouldn’t otherwise buy for themselves. From those humble roots, Singles Day has become the single most lucrative online shopping holiday in the world, with sales reaching $25 billion in 2017, easily surpassing Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined."
Ali codes are big, you can stack them with discounts and the amount you save is noticeable on larger orders.

DONT BOTHER with Linsoul codes, way too much hassle to get them given that they only sell 100 $100 USD codes and many people will be attempting to buy them the second they go live.

Not to mention that you can't use them if you get products from certain brands, one of them being Moondrop.

Why bother with selling promo codes if you're going to put stupid restrictions on them? 👎

cable recs? i feel like i hate every default one i own, tripowin zonie was good but wore down after awhile.

Currently using the Hart custom interconnect but its just... okay. Feels old school, a bit stiff. Curiosity has me looking what else is new i have missed that won't break the bank.

Like it very much. Comfortable, very solid build quality, and sounds really good. Not worth it at $300+ but a steal at $84.

Note how I have to use a slightly longer ear-tip, but it is truly special..........I think? A total steal at $84.00! Still the ISN SC4 additional cable add truly actualizes performance and ergonomics! Being it’s has a bass control and is thin to move around.

It is a warm sounding IEM in a unique way.
It is part of that small circle of IEMs with exceptional personalities that rarely leave one indifferent or disliked despite having different tastes (such as the PENON Serial).

Could not have said it better. The Shozy B2 has a history of at least three retailers combining it with a different cable. A more tightly and sculpted bass is what the ISN SC4 does, but really there can be success found with many cables in the end. What maybe someone would want is even though it’s dark, it’s like dark chocolate (also in smoothness) in that pace is still amazing and stage is on the big side of life. That and the fact that nothing is boring about the B2, its style of authority in the low end is done with uniqueness that makes owning it special. Each one has it’s own Serial Number. It comes with three nozzles though most find the titanium to be the way to go. Incredibly small, so I needed an extra long ear-tip, but once that was done they were great and problem-free. I recommend the B2 to anyone who likes full authentic bass darkness but with a little pizzazz! Nice midrange too, and very cohesive?

They make the Fan 2 sound neutral and almost thin. Where really in many ways they are opposite. The Fan 2 being way more flat and not owning the bass emphasis.....or lower midrange energy. But to me they almost fit better than the Fan 2, as they are really really small. They are not holding the dramatic (intrusiveness) in fit as the Fan 2 experience?

But more kick (than the Fan 2) and sexy texture going along with this profound musicality, where Fan 2 is more evenly done, and due to this evenness can be swayed (many) Fan 2 directions. Where the B2 is almost one way, bass laden thrills and still paced.....yet with a heavy attitude.

B2 is unique like Meze 99, but with better controlled and textured bass, with warmer treble and very good layering.

Paul Wasabi review on KZ ZAT, KZ hybrid flagship (1DD + 8BA, $80)



---
it seems the DD for bass is actually $80~100 good, hoping that it would trickle down to cheaper set.
hybrid coherence is being praised even tough it might cost them 8k~10k freq significant drop to achieve it.
that cost might be deal breaker for some as it does kill some the air. Tough apparently it ended helping to emphasize the center image.
