Dunu S&S, Final Type E Clear/Red and Spinfit W1 are my trinity for fit and best sound. Only one I'm curious about now are the Penon (though I figured they'd be similar to the Final) and the Kiwi Ears Flex (which are supposed to be really good with bass though they may take away from the highs a bit).
I love the W1 a lot. Have them on several of my IEMs. I just wish their L would be just a tad larger. I think they are 13.5 (??) and for my cavernous ear holes, 14.5mm is ideal for a snug fit.

The 'competitiveness" is surely coming from Rockwell posts mentioning on overtaking Discovery in multiple instances (and I do root for the Discovery, at least since $1000+ cables are hard to rationalize for me being a scientist, so I am happy just to colour match within $30 or so).

Finally, I only responded to say that I will take a long-planned 6+ month break from the HeadFi. Great experience, great people, just too much overall.

All the best wishes to everyone here!
Wish you the best on your break. @activatorfly took a similar sabbatical before his recent re-emergence. You will be missed (by some lol).

I'm sorry to inform you that it's already copyrighted, Shrek clearly got it first.
Also, Shrek target curve > Harman target curve.

Joking aside, I fully understand your point, and I agree it’s the strangest phenomenon. But you know what? Better for us: if inexpensive earphones satisfy us, our ears are happy—and our wallets too! Although, the thing is budget IEMs are becoming my “bad habit.” But I guess it’s better to spend $50-100 a month on IEMs rather than cigarettes! As long as I don’t run out of space to store them! 🤣
How do you know I'm not Shrek? LOL Yeah, I have been terrible with the purchasing of budget sets (what? 5-6?) in the last couple months, but again, like you said, it's better than cigs or booze or anything that can harm you? Not that we judge those of you who enjoy that sort of thing! But yeah, my investment in the Project M will hopefully (I'm not exactly convinced of my will power LOL) slow down the purchases for the time being, so I can enjoy the ones in transit.

I did it. I ordered that shiny white and gold temptation. 24$ on ali. Wonder if it will even ship haha
Did you buy them directly from TRN? If so, they usually ship fairly quickly, and they arrive sooner than other stores. I enjoy ordering from them direct.

That would explain the green IEM in your profile pic... 🤔

Rest assured you will not be disappointed, the ST7 is a jewel.

“How many eartips do you want?”
“Yes.”

Pleasant surprise of the day is the KZ EDX Pro X. The fact that you can get an IEM like this for less than 10 bucks is a bit crazy.

I have just come to the realization that tip rolling is now a full time job.

Bro I thought I had a lot of tips…. This makes me feel a lot better! 😂 if you’re ever looking to get rid of some of your tips that are unopened, lmk! I’m always buying tips.
