Hey everyone, Whats the deal with this Anniversary sale? The prices just dont make any sense to me. Some of what Ive seen.
KZ Saga. $1.40 w Free Shipping from the KZ Store / Aliexpress Choice
KZ Libra X, CCA Polaris, etc.. .99 cents w Free Shipping from multiple Stores with good ratings
Pennon Liquoer Tips .99 cents from The Penon Store
Kbear 16 Core Copper Cable .99 cents w Free Shipping with Aliexpress Choice
Jcally JA3 CX31993 Dongle .99 cents from Good Sound Store / Choice
Etc, Etc, Etc
I tried searching Headfi to see if this has been talked about as Im sure it has, been came up short. Can anyone explain why Aliexpress would sell these things at a seeming loss. It seems too good to be true and yet these are from official stores. Is it possible they're unloading bad example / b stock items with less performance? Im ready to buy a bunch of stuff but it seems too good to be true.

Hope you are felling better first and foremost....
The Libra X IMHO is indeed better than the KZ Saga balanced. The KZ Saga is warmer and has more mid bass slam, but that's where the advantage (?) ends. The Libra X has a cleaner, clearer, and more technical midrange. Now with the added warmth of the Saga, there's a weightier aspect to the midrange notes, but the detail retrieval is cloudier. Sounstage has a vast feel, with better spatial cues and separation with the Libra X. Bass notes are more resolving, and quicker. Snappier, but mid bass is less pronounced, with rumble and sub bass being same ball park. Treble is where they really diverge. Libra X has much more extension, air, and shimmer/crispness. The Saga has a more polite, but natural tonality. Libra X can get you on the verge of stridency, but it's never truly strident, but side by side with the Saga (or the Zenith), the treble would come across as such, since the Saga has very polite and more naturally tuned treble, but there's less air or crispness (but it's not rolled off).
Klean is a clear and present upgrade in all ways to the EDC Pro minus the mid bass presence, as the Klean is NOT a bassy set. Bass is quite linear and clean.

I pretty much agree with this… although I culled the Libra X as I preferred the TFZ T2 Pro and Tangzu YuXuanJi for treble-head sets. Saga is very good but Zenith I think is an upgrade. ZVX Pro if you want a more detailed, dynamic sound. Klean is also very good (tested with hole punch mod) but I prefer the ZVZ Pro.
My review of Campfire Audio Astrolith is published, had this for a good time now. Been in a stressful time lately, and its been nice to come home and listen to Astrolith.
A flagship dual-planar for those who crave energetic warm sound that is fast and technical, exceptionally fun with electronica and metal.
It has been highly addictive and has made a none planar person like me converted, I also want to thank @CFA Chris for the review opportunity.
Can read the full review in the link, cheers.

I have no idea where you are seeing those prices, because the cheapest I'm getting is $5.00 from the CUKOF store, and some stores selling the original Libra balanced and hi res as the Libra X (not the same thing at all). Saga is $10.00 from the KZ Store. So what you might be looking at is the Alix Business/Choice listing, which can have really cheap listings, but you have to have a business acct (like @Ineras does), or it's one of those buy three/buy now gimmicks? But regular/Choice, these are the prices being listed.
@jbfps116 - Well, I got the ZVX incoming, and the Klean making it's way back to me, so my brotha, I'll be putting your ears to the test to see if it's a more exciting Klean?

My Penon Fan 3 fit me very well. I have fairly big ear holes!
Yeah, limited products are designed only to create artificial scarcity, which is odd considering Crin is perhaps the most well-known and perhaps respected "name" in the IEM world. I find it impossible to believe he'll surrender the profit of another run after selling out 500 in less than an hour. That's fiscally dumb.
As for Jay, trusting his compromised opinion on anything would be like running a condom through a sewing machine with just the needle popping up and down into the latex and saying, "Don't worry, she won't get pregnant."
Agree with @FreeWheelinAudioLuv2: The Klean is an ideal name for this model. It's clean and balanced throughout the frequencies. Really clean. Some may call it boring. I do not. It's a damn good IEM for $50.

Nice list.
I'm gonna do Top 26 ranking list.
No KZ/QKZ/CCA on my list:
1. Hifiman RE2000.
2. Fir Audio Neon 4.
3. Fir Audio Krypton 5.
4. Sound Rhyme SR8.
5. Tansio Mirai Shock.
6. Shanling ME600.
7. Aful Performer 5+2.
8. Sound Rhyme SP01.
9. Penon Fan 3.
10. Trifecta/Trinity.
11. Ziigaat Odyssey.
12. Tangzu Gate.
13. ISN H60.
14. BQEYZ Autumn.
15. NiceHCK Himalaya.
16. Fiio FH7/FH3.
17. Oriveti OD200.
18. Ikko OH10.
19. Blon BL03.

22. Kinera Celest Relentless.
23. Ibasso IT00.
24. Unique Melody MK3.
25. Unique Melody MK1.
26. ISN H20
Kiwi Ears Punch and SLT6 would be on the list once i receive them (not sure about DTE500).
EW300, Aether, YU9 Yan not in the list because i need 4.4 cable for them to get the full potential from them.
Kbear KB02 are also not on the list because i think the H20 are better iems.
Sound Rhyme SR7, BQEYZ Wind, Dusk, CK2V, IKKO OH7, Letshuoer S12 Pro would be ranked between 27th and 32th place.
Everything else that i have that is ranked below 32th place is trash.
H20 and Unique Melody, enjoy being on the list until the Punch and SLT6 gonna arrive.
Btw, i received the airoso but i need to give them more time before i will decide if they deserve to be in my top 26 list.
I already can say that i like the airoso more than the aether.

I do wonder if this sale is the quiet before the storm for at least some of us.I have no idea where you are seeing those prices, because the cheapest I'm getting is $5.00 from the CUKOF store, and some stores selling the original Libra balanced and hi res as the Libra X (not the same thing at all). Saga is $10.00 from the KZ Store.

Check you aren't getting a discount coupon or code applied. Sometimes the price goes back up after the next purchase.
Many of the coupons are single-use, and you find that out later.

Don't you worry. Crin already stated in his introduction video he has 499 more waiting to be sold if the initial 500 trends positively. Well, selling out in 40 minutes is as much a definitive positive trend as one can get in this business, so get your wallet ready to unleash $249.00 for one of the next sets of 499!!
Oh this is indeed the quiet alright. The next "big" sale is the Easter sale, but in just under 3 months, we will dive head first into the BIGGER Summer Sale, where the $100 and $50 LEC codes for Linsoul are released, Amazon is included in the sales, and Alix releases those $9, $15, $25, and $100 sitewide coupons to go along with the crazy store coupons, while XINHS and ivipQ release their twitter coupons selling $200 cables for $20.00, like it happened the last two years. The Summer Sale has only one equal, and that's 11.11, so yes, the storm hasn't hit yet...so enjoy the quiet (of your pocketbook). Mine has not been quiet in the least.
I saw the best prices on a few iems this time, including the Tea Pro and Splendor 2. The coupons may not have been as good as a collective, but the prices of the products were lower in some cases.

I got in touch with Shenzhen and they offered me a pretty nice discount on the Volume S. Got it for 280$.
