Well most of the people looking at the marketing will not know it's an earbud, they'll just see the graph and think "wow that looks crap compared to the KZ". Lol

Exactly their intent! They see that huge difference in sub bass response and go "wow! The sub bass is way better than that other one!"

Superdeals section doesn't seem to allow some couponcodes. For the OCC849 I was cheaper off using the coin page, €53 or so for me. Even tho I don't need additional cables I wanted to try a Penon cable.

Man, buying from AE is such a headache. Across my laptop, my PC, my phone, my office computer, and my tablet I get completely different prices for the same things. Their pricing is so chaotic that I don't even know how best to game the system to get the best prices anymore. It feels like I'm watching the cryptocurrency market.

I find I usually get the best prices from the coins page, even when it means I can’t combine orders to use platform coupons. OCC849 didn’t turn up in coins for me, only Superdeals. Anyway it’s a pretty solid cable, and that price is close to what I paid for it as well.

The way they calculate discounts on the coins page is also pretty wacky so I usually just hit buy and see what I’d have to pay before deciding.

@FreeWheelinAudioLuv2 Did you say the newer Spiral Dots noticeably lower the bass quantity? Do you get better highs though?

No. The opposite. The ++ increase bass and lessen the treble. Also the material is different. It's a more slicker material, that kind of reminds me of the old Sony hybrid tips. Similar shape to the OG, but a slicker/shinier material and it helps to increase bass response while damping the treble.

Yeah the percentages they show on the coin page can be complete bull lol. Anything up to 20% seems trustworthy but anything above usually turns out less. But yeah you are definitely right coin page is awesome.

But ended up with enough for $15 off and highly debating the Aful Explorer at $90 after taxes...

Ohh, Explorer is on its way here and I am very excited. Due to the graph, I'm expecting a completely different and fresh experience to all my other sets.

I guess moondrop isn't having a good year, considering they're resorting to bots to boost engagement.

Ouch, not looking good. That is their own doing, though, releasing a dud after a dud.

But even still, if you were to go down this miserable cheating path, I'm sure you can make it at least a tad less obvious in today's day and age ... Every comment starts with 'Love...' for fark's sake...

Ouch! The amount of moondrop IEMs in my collection is 0. Though I got some Littlewhites, which are pretty good. Variations was not bad, but I was craving for newer tribrids.

I bought one two weeks back and paid $110. I am allergic to elevated lower mids and I love subbass rumble. It sounds great to me.

Quick question about H60, do they come with liquid eartips people talking about or you have to buy them separately?
Just checked Aliexpress and found out that they are available separately in Orange and Black color, do color makes any difference in sound?

Posted a review on the Truthear GATe Here on Head-Fi.

TL;DR - neutral bright, good for those peeps, not as much bass as I'd like out the gate (whomp whomp) but managed to find some with tip rolling to the Azla Origin. Works well with the Onyx XI1.

Nice write-up. Does it take EQ well?

It does, IMO. After all my testing for the write up, I did some EQ on my Element 3 and it responded super well to the bass boost (just a few DB really helps open it up). It's lively as is but lovely with just a bit more bass (especially with just a small mid-bass boost).

Listening to the new Sturgill Simpson, er, Johnny Blue Skies album and Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore's new album on my MagicOne, and I love this IEM as much today as the day I first heard it.

P.S.: Both records are fantastic. Check both if you're an alt-country or Americana fan.

The Sony WM1A with MrWalkman’s software, the OCC849 in 4.4mm and the ISN H60 with Velvet ear-tips. Perfect!

This has been on my radar for awhile to add something more relaxed and musical to my rotation.

No. Licquer tips do not come with the H60. I tried them with the blacks, and didn't dig it too much, and yes, the blacks and the orange have a slight difference in sound, as the blacks add some bass while maintaining the treble, while the orange provides a bit of treble harness while rounding the bass some. YMMV.
