The discovery thread!

I ran across this new dynamic. Resin shell, different colors available, screw type mmcx. Not much else is known about the dynamic driver, but I have asked the manufacturer for specific details.



Unfortunately, I can’t provide any brand or model name, but I’m sure if you look around on Aliexpress you’ll find it

I received this today. It’s ok, but nothing special. Definitely way overpriced at the $49 asking price.

I think I’m done with this brand. Everything of theirs I’ve tried has been mediocre at best. The best thing I’ve tried from them is a popular triple driver hybrid (dynamic + BA + piezo), but to those that own it can attest that the tonality is odd.

It’s sad in a way. The design and build quality of their stuff is always great, but I have never been impressed with the sound tuning.

Auglamour is the exact same way. Great build quality and looks, below average sound.

I think these companies save money and keep costs low by not having any professional sound tuning done. Just slap some drivers in and move onto the next release. Rinse and repeat.

Like KZ.

though KZs do have a few "sticker" from all of those versions that they threw out. i don't buy or tried every single one of them, but from what I've tried recently, the ZS10 Pro and ZSX are quite good

The trick to KZs is to not buy too many of them. It seems they put out one model per year that they're truly excited about, and then fill out the rest of the market with umpteen rehashes at all the different price points and some barely functional TWS for good measure :)

Rather enamored with my new pairing :)

This along with my IEM rotation will be seeing me through 30,000 words of thesis writing.

That's a man of culture!

I love the Shanling Q1 too! Looks like the ZAX has been getting rave reviews so far, definitely one to keep an eye on for the next sales.

Will be Penons next earphone. Should be their flagship. I was told RP will be $700ish. Not 100% certain but will most certainly be competitive in the price range. I noticed the bass dynamic looks like the one that is in the Orbs. Which I can vouch for is an excellent dynamic driver. Sonion BA tonality is more enganging than Knowles and 4 Estats Sonions. Ooo this one is gonna be good.

Looks like another EJ07/ST7/Tri rebrand, maybe retuned. I'd love to see FR for them.
I hope not, and kind of doubt it. So far, Penon has been coming up with their own originals.

They might be tuning it, or not, but someone needs to make it. Penon might be biggest or the best seller in the world (as it looks from your posts :wink:), but still someone needs to manufacture them for them. I seriously doubt they have factory beside their warehouse?

Hey guys, Iooking for a comparison between NF Audio NM2+, Tanchjim Oxygen and Moondrop Blessing2. I haven't come across many reviews of NM2+ but whatever I read sound interesting so looking to compare it with two other models under $300 I have in mind.
