I'm so disappointed about the R3 because it cannot EQ flac files. The R6 on the other hand is awesome.

You can EQ FLAC on the R2, but if you have the R6...unless you're looking for a Transport DAP? The R2 is bassier and more consumer tuned than my R5, and doesn't have the resolution or depth of the R5, but that's kinda expected with something $200 less. Still a nice sounding tiny player for on the go.
Finally, I got the same message asking me to cancel.
I will not do it. Just leave it until 8 days so AE should refund my money automatically and consider AK store fail to ship.
Latest update:
I escalate my case to AE customer service. They assure me that AK store will ship the item. However, it is still a questionmark when they will ship my LZ A7

A Basshead story
As promised a tale of three bass monsters. So the story is..."is the Open Heart Resin" IEM a bass monster? It has the same shell as the Smabat Black Bat and the Black Bat claims to be a 'Basshead' set. Well the Answer is ...........the Open Heart Resin, looks nice, has a nice MMCX cable with brass fittings, it all looks the business, but NO it is not a basshead set. Ignore it. Nowhere near it. The 'Black Bat ' IS a basshead graphene driver set. It really is a Bassmonster. Mostly it does not bleed into the midrange, but any hint of boom in the recording is amplified. Mostly you will hear no bleed. Treble is fine, even for most classical music and mids are definitely recessed but not overly so.
OK...I did notice my Tiandirenhe TD O6 has the same shell but QDC cable fitment. It has a Taiwan Biological driver and has a very good Copper 8 core cable. It is a Basshead set without any doubt, but maybe a hint less of a Bass Monster. Although one has a graphene driver and the other a bio driver it's not easy to differentiate. But credit to Smabat, for just under £40 they have created a monster, a 'Bassmonster'. If you want a basshead IEM, then the Tiandirenhe TD O6 with the Taiwan Biological driver is good, but if you want to roast your brains then it's the Bassmonster, Smabat Black Bat. All tested with their stock cables, single ended 3.5 mm, from a HiBy R5. All with Spiral Dot L tips. What's that ringing in my head?

I concur. The R2 & FD1 present very good value. I can't wait to test R5 Saber and New R6 too. Enjoy your new toys bro and most importantly, happy listening as always.So my Hiby R2 arrived early today. I'm currenty using it with the FD1 amp/dac, and they sound really really good. Not gonna go as far as say they match the Hiby R5, because even with the FD1, i think the R5 digs deeper with wider stage and detail retrieval, but for the $130 i paid for both units combined, it's less than half the cost of my R5, and come very close. This is my travel/on the go/workout DAP, since I don't like bringing my R5 outside for obvious reasons. For $130, it's pretty much on par and maybe a tad better than my Sony A45 and the Cowon J. It's as musical as the Sony, and warmer than the Cowon. It's tiny as heck, and will fit easily and snugly in my jacket or pants pockets. It's got MSEB, so i just set the parameters to what i have on my R5, and off i go. A7 sound amazing as expected on these. Gonna try them out with others in my collection. If you haven't already ordered this fantastic unit, i'd urge you too at $89.00.

No more info than what is on the picture. But I think BGGAR said it was a DD.
Will probably be up soon.
Amazon.com listing is new as of today:

Managed to show immense restraint this 11.11. While I have an eye on the Shuoer Tape Pro and KBear Believe as my next "bigger ticket" IEM purchases, they will probably be 2021 acquisitions and I'll be watching user reviews intently.
I resisted buying Tape Pro as well, will wait to see if there will be no QC issues as with the original one

" ...some severe upper-treble issues and an MSRP closing in on $400 are the nails in the coffin for the P2... "
Pretty much. For 500 SGD I'd go with an IEM from an established brand with a real warranty, to be perfectly honest.

You survived 11/11, but what about black friday?
