Cantor review from a head-fi friend who used to post in Discovery quite often (@Singaravelan ). The way he describes the bass of Cantor is impeccably precise and accuracy.

Words on the street is that the upcoming AFUL quadbrid IEM sounds like P7 but with the technical performance of Cantor. I'm saving up to get myself one.
I remember last year stating that rather than adding any Aful sets, I'd wait til the quadbrid lands...

EarAcoustic have pretty big marketing push with many2 reviews in the facebook audiogroup

semi recent one by Akros



had they have better naming system and didn't push like 6 iem in the same time,
it might be easier for brand recognition

Their namings are really confusing to a point that some Chinese reviewer warned them to change it before release but EarAcoustic don't bother…

New multi BAs IEM from Kotori will appear soon it seem....this is prototype
I love Zephyr alot and this company evolution is a fascinating one. hope these can compete with big bois 500-1000$ IEM sound performance wise, and offer higher sound value too...

anybody give it a try at CanJam?

price should be around 500$.

Having things organized and at reach is the only way to keep one's sanity in this hobby. It all gets too messy too quickly.

While I'm currently better-half-less, I don't quite understand why so many seem to hide their passions from each other. And I get that it's mostly meant in jest, but some aren't. If the financial influx is great enough to cover bare necessities, save some for the unpredictable future, and on top of that have any leftovers, then why the heck not spend some on these little thrills in life.
Exactly. Hiding one’s vices seems like too much work and stress to me. But just like with audio, everyone does domestic life differently!

Great point! I consider myself very fortunate in this respect. My wife couldn't care less about what I spend on hobbies as long as our finances are in order. I do think most comments referring to spouse aggro are in jest, but I guess, just like anything else, one can get carried away and find themselves in a bad situation.

Graph looks good, a cheaper 61t with slightly less mid bass.
Yeah but the mids sound compressed , the bass is also tighter and more textured on the 61t.

The Defiant is not going to win any awards for clarity and resolution.

This would be a great IEM for those new to the hobby who don't know thier sound preferences yet and looking to get thier first Hybrid.

Full value marks for Nice case and modular cable.

For a $100 completely Un-offensive and safe... maybe too safe.

But the Defiant is not 61T not by along shot.

Hi friends, the Penon Quattro set with 4 dynamic drivers is here, this set looks insanely cool I really like the look of it and the cable it comes with is very nice and comfortable to use, and to be honest I already have some thoughts about the sound of these headphones, I've listened to them and I can say that (it's an absolutely crazy set)😅and I can't wait to share my thoughts with you, but let me listen to it in more detail to get my detailed thoughts about these headphones as always and then I'll already do a full review🥳🙌
