The higher frequencies aren't neutral either, it's quite wonky and spiky.

True. I guess it’s more that as a whole, the T2 is considered relatively neutral-ish compared to the other V-shaped IEMs in that price range.

That is a niche that I think an IEM could sell really well in right now. A budget IEM that’s <$50, with a neutral tuning, and a case/design that yields really good isolation. I would think preferably hybrid or all BA. Such a product would make a great budget stage monitor. I guess the Moondrop SSR will fill this niche for the most part, at least for now. I don’t know how the isolation is though.

Judging by FR graph alone the SSR looks like more or less a classic Ety in disguise whereas the T2 Plus seems more like an ER2SE. It looks like there are now 2 sub-$50 options for people who like to punish themselves with such sound signatures.

Is there an ETA yet for the IT00?

I am not sure about that but it can be pre-ordered from iBasso distributors already.

LOL. Is anyone a fan of the tin hifi house sound? If so I picture them as a very dull human being who eats plain oatmeal and plain yogurt for breakfast every morning with their skim milk and thinks mayonnaise is spicy.

I have T4s and eat heroin flavored pop tarts for breakfast.

I'm very interested in this set, being the DD sucker that I am. Especially if it is cheaper than the Oxygen and fits better.

So many DD sets coming out soon, like the Moondrop SSR/SSP, the Tin HIFI T2 Plus and now this!

Tin Hifi T2 Plus (DD) = 49 usd

Shuoer Conductor (DD + 2 BA (knowles/sonion) + 4 EST (sonion) = 850 usd

I have posted my video review about the MW07 PLUS as well now!

I try my best to compare the GO vs the PLUS version, and I will also add a video about the MH40 wireless soon!

Allen Ribbon Headphones - R330 - Ribbon

Goldplanar - GL1200 - Ribbon

Goldplanar - GL850 - AMT

*I'm not related to the manufacturers in any way. I just found out about these today and have ordered the Allen Ribbon Headphones. The GL1200 (Ribbon) is available in October 2020 and I've also pre-ordered it. The GL850 (AMT) is available in September 2020 but as I just found out about this brand, I wasn't able to snag one before the pre-order ended.

Update: Unfortunately the Allen Ribbon Headphones were unable to be shipped overseas

That's some cool stuff over there, curious how they sound when you receive them, if you manage to order a pair eventually

Looks like the Tanchjim Hana is releasing on the same day as the Moondrop SSR (06-15) and is selling for around 150 usd in china but not clear if the international price will be the same.

I posted my in-depth written review about the Fischer AMPs Rapture Universal IEMs

Some fun-sounding IEMs with a similar tune to Etymotic, but none of the disadvantages that Ety had.

Wonder if the Hana is to Oxygen like Starfield is to KXXS.

Wonder if the Hana is to Oxygen like Starfield is to KXXS.

Oooh, yeah, I really hope so. I just hope the white finish doesn‘t also chip off easily.

Linsoul deals. Combo 4 and 5 looks like a very good deal.
