I am tossing and turning between the Toneking BL1 and the other planar offering.

I can understand. Really! Using the same planar driver I am also tempted to figure out how Toneking implemented this in their attempt.
Someone have to get both and compare it.

Then there is the LZ A6 coming and the…and the...and the…

These MT100's are growing and growing on me. This is just sublime with them

Did I read somewhere that sender r&d this planar and BA hybrid Drivers?

Is there a review for the mt100

 

[SciOC]

I would be surprised if it could beat these, bass is getting better all the time, soundstage is the best I've heard in an iem, highs are beautiful never harsh but so clear

Which seller did you order your mt100 pair from? None of the options are great....

If what Headpie posted on IG is the A6 then the shell is pretty much the same as the Shozy Hibiki which is disappointing

Disappointing, because the shell is uncomfortable or because just copied?

As long as the shell is comfortable I am fine with copies because I am looking for best (and maybe unique) (technics and) sound, not unique and fancy shell design. But that's just my opinion.

I have the Moondrop Kanas Pro in my Ali cart, ready to go for 11.11 . And the cable that @Dsnuts originally pointed out, the okcsc one with the awesome plug will be $186 (here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/OKC...pm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.281.28413c00SSt9GB ) ... still more than what it sold for at the original sale ($126), but it's really a very good cable, IMHO, and the plug solution is very convenient. I may even get another one (maybe in gold-plated - got the silver, last time).

Great minds think alike, haha. I also bought the pure silver cable with the awesome plugs, and am seriously considering the gold plated one as well. These are very high quality and well worth their asking price, in my opinion.

If I remember correctly you said that you found the mt100 a bit unclear in the mids and the depth and height of the stage is average. Has those intial impressions changed with more use?

you can also try another budget solution, which allows you to choose other cables. single end out to balanced plug adapter.
measured their dc resistance (mΩ), and they are more than acceptable (tiny variation compared with the big difference in conductivity between cables).
oksc adapter L/L+:12-13 R/R+:12-17 G/L-:10-12 G/R-:11-13
astrotec adapter L+:15 R+:15 G/L-:2.4 G/R-:3.7 (better ground)
eidolic adapter L+:10.3 R+:9.3 G/L-:1.5 G/R-:2.8 (better ground)
guess we could make our diy adapter, but it wouldn't be so small.

Yes, nothing is unclear for me with the MT100 anymore. I compared directly A/B with my other gear.
The stage improved also a bit but is for me still broader than in the other directions.

, and really, very much agree on the quality and on the value for money ... only fly in the ointment is that I got the original silver one for $126 which was obviously a better deal . Guess they woke up, and realized that they COULD ask more (and yeah, I think even $186 is actually still quite a good price for the cable, which is why I'm seriously considering buying another one, even at 50% more than I paid for the original one...)

How much sound does the mt100 leak, I'm really agonizing over my decision between the mt100 and toneking BL1...

Really I just want something BETTER than my isine20.
