Well, that's more interesting than the new Chinese planars. AAW tend to know their stuff and do make some great iems, so if this is prices competitively I would rather jump the gun for it rather than something like sfr or toneking, although I suspect this might go for a middleground between the new chi-fi planars and rha cl2.

It's interesting how much they changed the design though as this early pic from July shows a totally different look with a switch to boot

What is more interesting about this than the ****, obviously that 14 mm driver is being used in all the Chinese ones, but a planar hybrid is... New.

Here is my attempt at spreading some awareness on a truly special iem. I hope I was able to do them justice.

Not sure if anyone’s tried it yet, but I recently demo’d and bought the AKG N200 (not much about buzz about it) and it sounds surprisingly clear and detailed for a BT earphone. And that’s running AAC off of my iPhone X:





Nice textured, and slow decaying bass, very clear vocals (both male and female) and pleasant treble

Its weakness is upper treble extension but I’m not surprised given BT. Sub-bass is there and fully present though.

does it have LDAC?

Great review btw! Also hbb said the hq8 sound very similar to the t88 with a bit of mid scoop. So that could also be an option for a much cheaper price. It's getting a massive sale on Ali! But I think I'll just get the duo of ostry kc07 and dm6 instead because I've never heard of **** haha and there ain't any reviews of them either.

BUT they do indeed look good. $60

its 169 cny ~ 24 usd, so maybe ali-seller usually marks up 10 to 20% the price

Figures and I vaguely remember a similar shell a year or so ago from a ChiFi manufacturer.

I think it looks super cool. I'm almost tempted to buy one just because the large eartips in the video actually look big enough for me.

EDIT: Reminds me of the Auglamour RT-1

Beautiful review, very well done.
I have been experiencing with under $50 Chi-fi iems for some years but I am now ready to significantly improve my listening experience with a more expensive iem. I was set on getting the DM6 during 11.11 sale but now I am wondering if I shouldn't go all out and get an 8 BA iem, it's twice the price of the DM6 so it makes me pause. Have you listened to the DM6 by chance? I am willing to go for the T88K but I would rather spent the money on the DM6 if I can get >80% of the T88K for 50% of the cost...

Thanks

Excellent and very to the point review ,

The Solaris Hype is getting to me.

I can most definitley see the Solaris in my collection. That earphone seems to be playing at a similar level as the IER Z1R I heard at Can Jam. I read some rumors that the Z1R is getting a retune for some odd reason. I thought what I heard sounded great but I am sure Sony is doing this for a good reason.

Are you talking about Rhapsodio Solaris? Did you hear it yourself? I compared it to NK10 and they are definitely the most impressive IEMs I've heard to date.

EDIT: My bad, it's Rhapsodio Solar.
