ISN NEO Series - Neo 3

Interesting ????
suppose we ll find out soon enough...
this one is the latest due to be released anytime soon from the MASTERS of ISN AUDIO...
...and to be more specific on this and get you even more interested here, this is the first time ISN AUDIO uses a much interesting implementation of 1 15.8mm PLANAR & 2 16mm DYNAMIC DRIVERS....So....just makes me really curious to see how this one compares to a monitor priced just below 1k and also uses 1 planar magnetic +1DD + 1BA ..the Oriolus Szalayi.....
just having a feeling that this time again ....ISN AUDIO will bring another strong competitor on the table and if the rumour of 199 $ gets to be true....then things are getting really really interesting here..........😁😁
Love your excitement, but you got those numbers wrong. Definitely not a 15.8mm planar, nor 2 16mm DDs 😅

I'd be afraid to put a monstrosity using such drivers anywhere near my ears 🫣

I do not think anyone will be super comfortable with the size of these cores but these cable look look and sound superb. That piece of Titanium Damascus looks absolutely stunning.
I have to acknowledge the potential of EJ07M too. This IEM spreads it's wings with Code 24 and will take on $1500 IEMs with a laughing face, powerd by a huge stage and superb sonics. Similar signature to Mest mk2 but this pairing has bigger stage, better treble definition and resolution. Ohh, reverb and sonics.. lovely pairing.

It's 5.8mm planar and 6mm DDs it was a grammar mistake of mine...not intentionally of course I ll change that one..

I know this is kinda an iem thread, but wanted to share with ya'll that I purchased a Dan Clark Stealth E3 last night as I needed a nice headphone for mixing stuff at my desk. Ohh boy, it is majestic and very open. Almost as open as my Hifiman Edition XS. Nice isolation as well, just lovely. I might do a full review, but not sure. Either way, it's worthy of any hype that it is getting.

Hmm...
Pula PA01 sredjeno_umanjeno.jpg

Pula PA01

Recently, someone already wrote a couple of words of the same (darker and muddier sounding); I've seen it and thought, why not?
For $56, it's not bad at all. It's imperfect but completely enjoyable...and it looks good, too.
I can't complain about fit, either. It seems that these IEMs that lack perfection, especially on the bass side... love power.
500mW...1W or more, even better, and the bass sounds much better and tighter.

Nice to have these in the collection!


Cheers!

Perhaps in some, and it would be great if it works as a rule...but if you listen to so many genres and music as I do...you would notice that fade in or out (I like to use it when I do my stuff for fun) is hard to find.
Anyway, if you have a gap of two seconds...what's the big deal???
Exactly.

I listen to a lot of live concerts and gapless playback is definitely a must!

I just saw Vortex Reviews cover the Tin T5S which graphs pretty decently.



https://vortexreviews.squig.link/?share=Crinacle_Target,Tin_Hifi_T5S

Maybe a win for Tin Hifi who has been on a losing streak for a while, I think the C2 Mech Warrior was the last good IEM release by Tin Hifi from what I've heard from others.

On a different note, wouldn't be surprised if the Hype 4 is the new sub $500 gold standard IEM everyone has to compete against.

Okay, I think I am quite late to these wonderful iems. DUNU Falcon Ultra.

So musical, out of the box. Bass quite good and impactful. There is touch of warmth in the sound. Very very smooth sound which is throughout pleasant. I am in love with the small size too, disappears in the ears. Good for long listens. Good imaging though soundstage is a bit narrow but not an issue at all as long as the technicalities are good.

I think this is what I was missing in the Simgot EA1000. This sound is more to my liking. And talk about the price to performance ratio, they are just outstanding on this parameter. I find them better sounding than the LetShuoer S15 too.

Got the Pula PA02 in today. Holy Jeff Goldblum! These do not disappoint in both sound, value and looks.
