I have them in my ears as I type. Sounds damn good for a single BA. I have to say this was a genuine surprise. I wasn't expecting these to be this good. It is by far the best surprise bag earphone I have heard to date and I have heard all of them.

During sales if you guys haven't gotten one of these. These are an easy recommend. Something like this would be perfect for cellphones or computers. It is small light weight and another surprise. They isolate pretty good.

Sonically speaking. Which tips fit them best? I love jvc spiral dots, but due to the big bore this should reduce the bass even more.

I am using sendafit which are like longer stemmed Spiral dots. I tried Spiral dots which sit a bit shallow on the nozzle.

Sendafit gives a horn effect which ends up magnifying the sonics to my ears. Works well. WIde bored tips works well. Helps with treble and bass ends. The mids on the X49 are excellent.

Just let a coworker listen to them. Guy guessed $50. When I told him it will be $14 during sales, guy was floored. Lol.

That YouTuber is @redrol He's a Head-Fi member and a fellow New Mexican.

His reviews are excellent too. He's been spot on about the couple of IEMs that I own that's he reviewed. Definitely worth a visit to his YouTube channel.

I updated my database with something similar to @redrol list.

I can offer a review of the Moondrop SSR. Now on my website, in a few days also here on Head-Fi.

Some newish products:

1) Fiio FD1
https://www.fiio.com/fd1
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001153683484.html
$80

Seems Beryllium DDs are all the rage now.

2) BGVP Zero (Credit to @zachmal):
on multiple shops on Aliexpress now
$80 USD

Claimed by the shops to be electrostat? Probably a marketing gimmick and it is likely a magnetostatic or electret thing like the Shuoers?

Got a question regarding iBasso IT00 vs Tin HiFI T4 so would like to share with everyone my comparison.

In terms of overall sound, I personally think the IT00 is clearly superior to the T4. There is more sub-bass presence on the IT00 and rumble is quicker. The mid-bass on the T4 has more quantity but not as punchy as the IT00. IT00 has a more impactful low end. The bass decay on the IT00 is way quicker. The IT00 has a more transparent midrange with better details retrieval. Vocals on the IT00 are clearer than the T4. The upper midrange on the IT00 has greater emphasis which creates a livelier female vocals display. Treble on the IT00 is crispier and there is more sparkle. There is greater amount of air rendered on the IT00. T4 sounds veiled in comparison. For the soundstage. the IT00 boasts greater width and a little less depth than T4.

So is the iBasso IT00 a winner? $68 in my locality...

Definitely. The IT00 is very good.

 

[IEManiac]

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

Ordered. Will arrive in my hands in four to five days...

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.

Such an IEM has been available for a good year+ now. Three of them, in fact. The BQEYZ KB100 (2DD + 1BA), K2 (2DD + 2BA) and KC2 (2DD + 2BA).
