How do you guys feel about the KZ A24 with switches?
Well, @PhonoPhi loves them, and it's one of his tentpole IEMs, and others who own them like them for the technical apects, but again, you have a kilobuck all-BA in your possession. Not sure how much of a redundancy this would end up being?

Totally passing on this, like I passed on the MT5 for $6.00. These ultra budget just end up on the sell pile stacked up and taking up space (I say this while the ultra budget Fiio JD10 is out for delivery LOL). But this is FiiO!!
You won't regret getting it... it sounds stunning. I'm looking forward to comparing it with my Libra, TD08 pro, and the incoming Saga Bal. I tell you there is subbass for days, and definitely a nicely boosted treble section. Just good CLEAN sound like I like. Comparing to the Fan 3, that one sounds clearly more expensive, thicker note weight, cleaner bass... and obviously better stage. But for $7, the JD10 are scary good.

Love them, but tbh they are getting pushed down the ranks as heavy hitters like the Pula PA02 and S12 '24 and Fan 3 come in. I only like 1 switch setting because it balanced out the very forward mids: Bass DUUU, treble DDUU.

Hanadomi B2?
Basically the same as the original XSL X-ONE mk1, but they decided to sell under another name. I'm guessing because they had already moved on to other versions of the X-ONE but people still kept asking for the original basshead version.
Anyone know about these?

Not a fan of how you have to buy all the sizes because I’m never going to need the XS and S and possibly the M. At $2.70 a set it shouldn’t matter but I hate having to deal with unused tips anyway.
What the heck are these for? To bleed off all the bass since you'll never get a seal?

I need to get something unique to my collection as you said.

Are there any brave souls that want the NALMOPG Yu Xuan Ji for $39 (w/ 20% off coupon)?

Looks like a new vendor on Amazon. Worst-case scenario, they take your $39 and give you fake shipping info. At least Amazon is pretty good with reimbursing you if it's a scam.

For me (living in Hungary, Europe) these are 4.37 or 4.39 USD (depending on color). Looks like no seal at all -> hard pass.

Also: yay, 500 post ! Took 2 years.

yep, magnesium at night before bed in general is amazing for you. i haven't noticed it helping tinnitus much, but it does help with morning anxiety and joint pain.

Good idea. I just control my listening sessions to short times with iems and headphones. To prevent tinnitus. Speakers also solve the issue .

That is the new one. Would love to know the actual retail price versus what I see on Aliexpress.
That's an easy one. Unless it's clearly stated as an early bird special price, the actual retail price is exactly what they are selling it for on Alix. The "retail price" on the right is usually an artificially inflated price that the IEM was never intended to be sold at or ever will be. So if it says $249.00 and $450, the actual retail price is $249.00, with the higher price being the illusionary price.

If this is legit, it's going to irritate me. I just paid full price for the order directly from Tangzu, and this is being offered for 20% off days later. Mine already shipped, so too late for a refund.

You guys doing this on purpose now? LOL So before I sent my FAN 3 off on loan, only time you see mention was when OzBoy was talking about them (before the Shock changed his life), or I was talking about them, and now, all of a sudden, while mine are not in my possession, there's mention every other page LOL But yes, they are fantastic, and very pleasing sound signature for sure. Not endgame, but damn good for many genres, and definitely top 5.

😂😂
I've actually had them for a while now, but I just remembered to write my usual two lines.
Anyway, if you lent them, they'll come back to you.
