Any one know anything about those "earbuds" (looks like iems to me..), they call it the "Blon Wood Earbuds".

Coincidence that CCA released a wooden iem called the CST?


Or maybe they are from the same OEM?
CCA CST looks very similar to my old JVC FX-700. I wonder if they managed to have nice tuned sub bass in this new iem.

Thank you for giving us further impressions. What according to you is a popular iem under $300 which is only available on Taobao?

Leisurely Audio is going viral at my local chifi community for its sheer low price.
~500 USD for its 12BA model and ~300 USD for its 8BA model which are all in full Knowles/Sonion brand BA drivers.
Sadly they seems to be avaliable at taobao only and not at aliexpress though

any reason to get these if I have A7 coming?
Probably not. But the cable is a nice one with the modular function.

i'd like to add another high quality high fidelity single dynamic to my collection along with the Tape Pro, then slink off into the audio darkness for a year or longer? or so the wife would highly steer me in that direction! lol

Early impression of the Shanling AE3: Bass is on the lighter side of things with quick decay and precise articulation. The mid-bass punch is rather polite. The midrange is the highlight of the AE3. Vocals are bodied with good presence and clarity. Treble has moderate extension. Quite airy but slight lack of sparkle. Very smooth expression. Soundstage width is average and depth is good. Overall, a pretty solid IEM with a strong vocals display, I like it.

Doesnt it have a vented BA for the bass? I expected a bit more bass quantity from that.

You dont have any Tansio mirai iems to compare with right?

These company's doing BA only iem's need to contact Jerry Harvey and ask him how to tune a BA with punchy and weighty bass, because the way he tuned the TF10 is nothing short of amazing. Best BA bass i've ever heard and that even goes for my old Sony XBA40 and the UE900s.

Hi all.

I plan to make purchases during the sales of 11.11.

I am very interested in the NFAudio nm2 + but you may have a better competitor to offer?

budget ~$ 130 see less if possible. ^^

I mainly listen to jazz and soul / funk.

I'm looking for something neutral, organic timbre which gives all the details of the instruments with a fast attack.

I already have CCA C16 and CA16 and ISN H40.

Thank you for being so kind to advise me.

I won mine from an ebay auction for $100. Brand spankin' because the guy didn't like the fit. That's going to be your best bet for getting them cheap. Using Azla Xelastic tips, they fit snug as a bug, so i dont have issues with fit.

Non-detachable cable with a mic. hate that. hate mics. i use my earphones to listen to music, not to answer phone calls. So many of my earphones died at that very point too, the mic. Pass.
