I thought it was a J cable.

Oh well, for $7.50US, I'll deal with it! This one looked real enough (at least the serial number stuff seemed to be correct in all of the images):

Considering their previous efforts for multi ba earphones like the DZ12 was going for roughly that much that is still a good deal. Since your actually getting two phones. Can't say if both of them will have different enough tunings however. I skipped on the FR12 as I have a good idea how they are gonna sound. I keep on mentioning this but both earphones are made by the same OEM. One is made for NiceHCK the other we cant mention. Last time I bought HK6 and the other brand and I can clearly tell they are made by the same designers. Using the same type of BAs too.

Truly though the sound is excellent for the price so you might end up enjoying both. I just hope for you that they have different enough tunings to end up keeping. If not you can always sell NiceHCKs version if they are very similar. Was listening to mine today. Vocals sound stunning on them. They are a part of my weekly rotation of different phones I use. I will most definitely report how they compare to the EE Zeus once I get those.

A big warning I have to give to guys that end up getting either of these.. BURN THEM IN.
Play music for a week straight at normal listening volumes. Otherwise your gonna be sour you bought them. Lol. I am very serious about this. If you don't believe in BA burn in. These will make you believe in BA burn in.

Honestly i own the DZ7, i dont think the sound has changed even after owning it for more than 6 months:/

Wait, how are you getting $138? Price is 157 then you apply the $4 seller discount code and then the $3 new user code. No matter what I do, the lowest is $150.33. How are you getting $138.

price is 139$ at certain AE shop + 4$ new user coupon + "buy more than 129$ coupon to get off 7$" coupon.

I got lost in temptation and bought both HQ12 and FR12 for $622 after coupons. I was tempted by @Dsnuts and how good A8 is.
I am really curious to see how these Chi-Fi high BAs compare to the Massdrop x Empire Ears Zeus in February.
I just hope FR12 is not as ugly as in the pictures.

if you really wanted to compare some chi-fi TOTLs with the more established brands, you can also look towards qdc

Have there been any measurements done of the Kanas Pro?

I´d love to hear your impressions on HQ12 when you get them. can´t find FR12 at Aliexpress, any link?
thanks

Absolutely agree. For the cost, they are a no-brainer, and the sound is so far ahead of anything in the $5.00-$50.00 range. You need to start hitting the $70.00 and above level to start pulling even. IMHO. If only the treble was a tad more extended, but it's still crisp and no sibilance at all.

Here's where I got my genuine MH755 from. Most likely you can buy with confidence here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sony-MH755-Stereo-In-Ear-Earbuds-Headphones-Earphones-For-SBH20-iPod-MP3/361884429431?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=631627770559&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Thanks for that link, I couldn't resist the temptation at under $8, so I ordered one!

i got the HQ10 before Christmas, the mids perform at flagship level for sure, they are forward and that thing is puling out crazy level of details, the bass is there but is not very deep, treble is very clean but there is no much of it, the soundstage is very wide, overall i like them very much, HQ12 are probably better or tuned differently

 

[Dsnuts]

Ok fellas. Lets refrain from mentioning these. You know why. You guys can PM each other for impressions but try to refrain from any posts about them. Thanks. The rules are the rules.

Asymmetrical cable...so is that J?

Yes it is. You wear the longer part of a J cable behind your neck. I can't stand the feeling and I never know whether to put the cable under or on top of my hair.

I guess I will find out if I can handle it. Maybe it can be re cabled. Just ordered an orange one for £5 from a UK seller so should have it this weekend. I found out my husband had already ordered one in green a couple of days ago. Same seller.

Does this mean I do not need to buy a Kanas Pro? It has been on my wish list.. but for the future because if I do it, it will be my last IEM.

There's also one done within the Moondrop Impressions thread.

After buying multiple < $200 IEMS and regretting most of them I took the plunge and bought a pair of Toneking T88Ks.
Had to wait ~ 3 weeks before they were send: they were build in those weeks.
The package is cheap, the added tips and cable .. don't care about any of it it's the IEMs themselves that steal the show. You cannot get closer to custom IEMs than this.
It's too soon for a proper review but these are something special for sure!
