How is the imaging and instrument placement with the FD5? I wish you has the NM2+ to compare it with, and I don’t know what the Oxygen sounds like.
The oxygen does have a bit better imaging (and similar separation) but it gets help from its tuning by having less bass quantity and more treble quantity.

I second your opinion. I also have the Black Bat and the Open Heart and would put the TD06 in front of the other two. I use them regularly and like them a lot. For $25 they come with that nice copper cable and they are one of the vest value IEMs I have purchased. The bass is exceptional.

One of your posts convinced me, to buy the TD06, thanks for that 😊

What would you consider as an upgrade to the Td06 in the 100-150 dollar range, with similar (can be little less bassy) sound signature? Did you maybe hear the Kbear Diamond?

I discovered a light harmonic mera on aliexpress for 139aud, how is it? Seems to be far less than it's supposed to cost normally?

On the more reliably good side of things, 240aud LZ A6 with the A7's tuning nozzles as a half price a7 alternative?

I'd rather do the a6 mini with the a7 set honestly though, money is nice, bit it seems mini have sold out.

The Faaeal Poppy has arrived. For $7, you get 7 pairs of tips, a hard case, not that deep but fast, tight, and hard-hitting bass, okay mids (slightly recessed), clean treble (a bit early roll-off), and amazing build considering the price. These are also the smallest IEM I have.

Tips look nice. Kind of horn shaped opening.

Speaking of tips, has anyone figured out what are good Aliexpress alternatives to Spinfits or Final E tips? There HAS to be a generic on that site somewhere.

for the tips alone it might be worth buying?
They are not horn-shaped. But they are really nice tips. There are two types you get (can't feel a difference other than color, maybe density?) as well as a very useful hard case.

re: imaging

I think to find out about the IEM’s imaging capabilities one has to measure their weighted group delay value or waterfall plot to see if they have ideal impulse response and clean decay. This results in a tight and fast bass, and clear trebles (sense of depth). Also channel matching is important which helps with proper placement and localization of instruments and sound effects in the stereo image. However, these results are only valid for measured unit, and others may perform differently (unit variations).

Pardon me, but where are good places to order the Tiandirenhe IEM's? I'm looking for the TD06 and TD08, and I've checked out the "official" shenzhen Tiandirenhe Co.,LTD. Store on AliExpress and they don't seem to care about noting the model name in many their listings, here is one example:

This is unlabeled: New HIFI music Tuning mouth Earphones 0.78 2pin resin custom fever IEM earphones For huawei Dynamic qdc plug DJ stage and EVAbag|Phone Earphones & Headphones| - AliExpress

This is actually labeled as the TD08: MMCX TD08 Hi Res Headphones HIFI Hybrid Earphone 1BA+1DD Earbuds Powerful Stereo Headset Custom Made DJ Monitor Earphones|Earphones & Headphones| - AliExpress

Funny thing is both came up when I searched for TD08 on their store :)
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2142033/search?origin=y&SearchText=td08

Is the TD06 simply sold out? Does anyone know where I can find TD06 and other Tiandirenhe IEM's for sale other than AliExpress? Links?

Thank you!

Hi, I would like to get the TD06 IEM's from your store, but I can't find them. A number of your IEM listings have no model number, which makes it tough to find anything :)

Please let me know what listing link is the TD06 IEM's, Thank you!
