Got me... Great satire right there!

Hey...DaVinci (ok, it's Leonardo ) is probably named after a ninja turtle and not the artist.

Cheers!

Ah, yes, indeed, they do offer QDC. Glad to see that. I forgot to say that I don't look at AliExpress and therefore don't order there. Italian customs are merciless way too often.
If you look at HiFiGo, there's mo option for Hakugei's with QDC. (maybe if you write their support? IDK)

Not be that guy, but I have over 50 orders on AliExpress... and I'm kind of Italian too. You might consider trying out AliExpress for your orders. Although our customs can be quite strict, I've had all my packages clear without any issues!

Thanks for this suggestion, friends. It's a wonderful evening listen.

Went with these bassy boys:

I hope you feel better soon, buddy. Funny you post, because it was you who bought my SR5! If I remember correctly, you enjoyed them, which made me happy that they found a good home. Here's to an eagle and a hole in one in consecutive holes!

Yep that was me! To this day, and a few higher end sets later, that is still my number one! EQ the bass a bit north and they are simply unreal!

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's true that everyone's ears are different due to varying anatomies. I'm glad you like them and happy for you. Honestly, I can't remember if I measured them with foam or not. For me, the vocals are clear, though a bit in the background. I reduced the bass, and the vocals became much better while still maintaining ample bass. I'm curious to hear your listening impressions about the bass, mid-range, and treble of the U-2.

I installed foams on them and the bass quality/quantity is better, but mids and vocals are now veiled and treble is non-existent lol. It's similar to how you initially described them.

I much prefer them without any foams. Bass becomes a bit anemic, but mid range is more clear and there's more treble presence. It could definitely do with more treble extension though. I don't have any donut foams laying around, but they might be good on the U-2.

I actually don't have much experience with earbuds either, but I would choose the U-2 over the Yinman 600, especially with the price difference. I still wonder if I had a bad set since it's a beloved set in the earbuds thread.

I don't dislike the U-2 but I don't see what the appeal is yet.

It's like listening out of a crappy old antique AM/FM radio but with way more bass. If you turn your brain off and just let it happen, it's how I find my happy place with the U-2.
Great sound stage but other than there isn't much to love here.

I haven't seen too many people post impressions on the U-2, but from what I've seen, the general consensus says these aren't that great. I don't love them, but I don't hate them either. They're the only earbuds I have at the moment so I'm using them to listen to podcasts while I'm working since I still need to hear my surroundings.

Btw, do you have any earbud you prefer that you'd rec?

Anyone have an idea of the Aful Explorer release date? Seems like it’s lagging behind other products on Hifigo.

SOON! They posted on their FB page that if everything goes smoothly, they'll launch in early June.

I have several all-BA sets: Butastur, SLT6 and Tingker H16. They have only one common thing - BA timbre. The tuning and sound quality are completely different. Most versatile is SLT6, therefore in some music styles it can be insufficient bass, although the bass is quite deep and textured, just without good slam. SLT6 needs warmer source to get sound mass and smother treble. I don't like to use EQ, PEQ, MSEB or even dynamic plugin, so only cable and source might nearly fix. Despite this I often like critical listening and excellent clarity and resolution of SLT6 is very useful in this case. I prefer UD pin configuration and Penon Liqueur black tips.

Although, I tried now Coreir tips and it's even better. No, much better!

I got my Coreir tips on my KZ ZS10 pro 2 and *chef's kiss* Perfect synergy between IEM and tips.

Which type, the brass or aluminum core?

I never heard about aluminum core.

Anybody else that ordered the Medusa get this notification today? I've never got one like this before.
EDIT: It has left the sorting center. "problem" apparently resolved? LOL

 

[Lycans]

Is there a thread for the dunu Davinci

There is.. There's also me getting extremely frustrated with this

I just ordered the aluminum version. I can't believe I just paid $35 for 2 pairs of ear tips, but only $23 for ZS10 pro 2...

Similar problem for me yesterday, and same one as yours for my brother today (both of us ordered the Medusa). My unit passed the custom thought, while his it's still stuck with the same issue as yours. I suspect they had some problem at the sorting center, I don't think it's necessarily correlated to TRN in particular.

I really hope they'll be able to fix it immediately, because all these jellyfish won't be able to unstuck themselves otherwise!

EDIT: to be more specific, my issue was a "Processing delay at sorting center" while my brother got the same update as yours, that is "Processing problem at departure country/region sorting center".

Yes, it will most likely be flagged as having a battery. It typically happens at Fenggang distribution centre. It should move along a few hours later.

Lol at least you didn’t waste half a week not realizing that HiFi Cat sent multiple emails to your junk folder asking if they got your order right.

Alright, I think I'm turning into a cable fanboy.

But this is my last standalone cable I ever buy (unless I get the Maestro Mini and then need a dedicated blue cable if I don't use the NiceHCK Luna for it)

But as die hard LA Lakers fan...

Purple and Gold Xinhs cable got me going.
