Nice, we need more impressions on this one so I'm looking forward to what you guys think.
Linsoul is having a sale about a month from now too for the new year, I asked via email. Need more impressions :)

I'm a sucker for a combo deal. I really want neither the Dragon Scale cable or the original NiceHCK F1, but it's in my cart :triportsad:

I pick them over the PRO, Ive always be interested on this one.

I also get a couple of cables from the store.

I'm on the lookout for a set that I'd be happy to listen to at work for extended periods of time which looks and feels good, and would not be too scared to leave it at work. EW200 might be the one. It's currently 40€ on AliX, though, not 20 🥲
I got mine for $20 with the coupons on 11.11. One of the very best blind buys I've ever done.

So I got a bit of clairity on the shells. These are basically a hybrid plastic and resin mould. Seems to have a base plastic shell frame that resin is poured into. I think they chose this particular method to stabilize the driver placement inside the shells to be more uniform and I would imagine more easier to make.

Are there going to be other colors?

I am thinking it will be more dependent on just how popular these become. I know they look like

orange lolipops. But they actaully look nicer in person than pics. Not too many all orange IEMs. could be the reason why they chose this colorway. I am thinking if they take off like they should I can see them making a few different colors.

I kinda like the safety orange, tbh.
Does look like candy though.

Nice and simple case that hopefully does the job in case the inevitable happens.

Regarding the buttons, I often misclick on my Fiio M15S too. But that's a minor nuisance compared to the fact that the rotating volume knob can be turned quite easily, even when the device is resting in your pocket. I nearly had a BIG oops moment a few days back. Never fun to blow out your ears. Luckily you can choose between knob or buttons for volume control, but it's inconvenient having to swap between the two.

I have a Fiio M15 so not exactly the same, but can you set your M15S so that when "hold/lock" is engaged, it will only lock the volume wheel? I'm able to choose which buttons remain available even when locked with the M15, so I can lock the volume wheel only.

Got the clear case for the Hiby R6 Pro II.
Now I can actually handle it without accidentally changing tracks!
Other than the short battery life, my only real complaint about this DAP is the hair trigger on the track change features.
Problem solved!
Rocking the Calibro 35 today.

I did the same for my R6P2 and the buttons stopped driving me crazy as well. In fact, I’ve gotten quite used to them.

And then I swopped out the screen protector for the oleophobic tempered glass sort because the factory applied one was a such a magnet for fingerprints and gunk (and mine had bubbles -_-) and the touchscreen became so much smoother to work with, just like that. And I’ve started reaching for my R6P2 a lot more since.

I always thought I was about sound above everything else, but apparently these little things make a world of difference too. No idea why Hiby cheaped out on the screen protector here when the one they shipped with the R3II was just perfect. But I’m a happy camper now.

Thanks, will check if there is any such setting, but originally it only locks the buttons.
