Kiwi Ears KE4 is now my favourite IEM. I have just listened to this below via Hidizs AP80 Pro X and Penon OS133 USB-C dongle. What a fantastic performance and recording!

Notorious SENNHEISER IE900 (FAKE!!!)
It's not a copy. It's genuine $$$fake,.
But it doesn't sound like it. Why it doesn't sound like a crap IEM...so I could throw it in the garbage.
But it's not crap...if I didn't find out that visually, I would never have thought it was not genuine.
I'd suspect...and expect more for a Sennheiser flagship...or maybe not...
So, I would rather enjoy using it than throw it in the garbage. It is as comfortable as the real one, and the shell is like the real one.
Sound...it belongs in the group of Excellent ones! Numero 7, perhaps a +, too? Hmm...
Cheers!
Do you have a link to the one you purchased? Sounds interesting!

So... we could get a little preview of your overall rating of P7?
So far it looks like this?
- Timbre and tonality: 5/5 - Very Good
- Bass and dynamic: 4.5/5 - good
- Resolution: 4/5 - Good
- Soundstage and imaging: 4.5/5 - Good
I still don't know what electrostatic hybrid means.

Fiio... FM Radio?
https://x.com/FIIO_official/status/1806610549326971157
After releasing CD Player, Walkman cassete player like DAC/AMP, now FM radio?
i suppose vinyl player is next?

and Libra-X is now sold in KZ official shop, KZTWS.com
annoyingly CastorPro is not there yet.
https://www.kztws.com/products/kz-libra?variant=46657764491515
per PaulWasabi observation and measurement,
tuning is quite alike, tough driver differences shows apparently.

Which of the many clones did you take (link)?
I use ROON's MUSE, but of course it's not free.
If you need it, I can take some screenshots.

apparently "cheap" and came with a pair of earbuds.
it have magic bass toggle, and AM/FM toggle on the side
and that analog seek bar is really nice touch.
I thought this would be DAC/AMP with radio function (noise issue might appears tough)
but apparently its a proper simple radio

It's not a clone...it's fake!! I was f...d for real!
The seller (she) was from Belgium, allegedly.
I should have known better after being a fan of "In Bruges" that I should avoid anything related to Belgium.
I got a legit box and everything in it. It's amazing how well everything is done. All the effort deserves some reward hahaha.
Cheers!

The FIIO FP3 is the company's foray into the planar IEM fray. I bought this at a discounted price from Ali (list price $89 USD).
It is an open secret that most of the current CHIFI planar IEMs use a similar planar driver, probably sourced from the same factories (or are OEMS). In contrast, Fiio markets that the FP3 utilizes an in-house 14.5 mm driver with a dual coated titanium and aluminum ultra-thin diaphragm.
The FP3 contains the TESLA valve bass enhancement tech - seen in the Fiio FD15 - which deliberately elongates sound tubes so as to filter away higher frequencies and boost bass.
Weighing 6.5 g apiece, the housings are light and ergonomics are quite comfortable despite the slightly longer nozzles. The faceplate features a rosewood or black walnut design, depending on your preference during ordering.
It is moderately difficult to drive, and would benefit from a dongle DAC/amp at least. Accessories are quite generous with multiple tips and a transparent plastic carrying case.
The FP3 sports a bright V-shape tonality, graphs below (8 kHz is a coupler peak). Generally, planar graphs may not correspond 1 for 1 to single DDs, as the planar drivers are usually faster in transients and the peaks are more exaggerated on planar graphs compared to actual listening.
The FP3 has a very clean sounding profile, with fast transients and stellar technical chops. Soundstage is wide with excellent layering, detailing and imaging. The bass is quite big but is not at outright basshead levels, with good texturing and speed. Upper mids hit about 11 dB which is just at the border. There is great clarity and resolution in the treble region, with just slight sibilance (I'm treble sensitive and find the FP3 is not overly splashy in the highhats and cymbals, which is much worse in other planars).
There is some planar timbre (probably due to the very fast note transients cutting off tail-end of notes), which is a usual issue with planar IEMs, but it is not the worst offender timbre-wise.
Will do some more tests against benchark planars and report back. For sub $90 USD, this is probably one of the more technical planars as of the time of writing, one for trebleheads and analytical junkies.

Thanks for the quick review, still had this in my cart. Glad I backed off from this one now. Graphs very similar to TD20, except FP3 has 6k peak instead of 4k. Looks pretty good above 10k. I'm sure some mesh tuning can smooth out this one nicely.The FIIO FP3 is the company's foray into the planar IEM fray. I bought this at a discounted price from Ali (list price $89 USD).

For bass lovers, really consider the TRN White Tiger. Outrageous big bass fun with well-separated mids and very nicely done planar treble. It's like a refined Juzear Clear, or a basshead Tri i3 mk3.

Still interested in the TD20 because of my initial GREAT impression of the company... the white tiger also sounds amazing... like a Phoenixcall with real bass? As long as the bass isn't too warm or muddy I'll likely enjoy it.
