Looks nice, but 24.70$ shipping to UK, just kills the dealLooks like we got a new Koss headphone.

Forgot to mention this cable from KZ:I'll definitely get one more cable for my Audiosense DT200 once it arrives because I've now become a cable believer Currently have my eyes on the Litzs-PS Non-Pro/Pro or even the Limpid which I found for about 17 USD as I want to have a silver cable.
Summer and Spring DO HAVE different stock tips, from the pics I've seen with the Spring's package. Do check out the reviews as I don't have the latter. FWIW, I hate the grey tips (though they are very, very comfortable) and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the clear, blue stem (much stiffer than grey). I've included in my review (not yet posted) the effects of the stock tips as well as the cable change.

Oh nice, thanks.
Very curious about these and whether they sound the same as the other popular Koss models.
Obviously these are just about the retro look. 32ohm so not the 60Ohm driver and 30-17,000 is not so hot. Koss are in the know so they and most everyone who had those knows they need bigger drivers and pads both for the sound and the fit which has more variation since the size lets sound out unless you position right and the comfort isn't a good as the pressure is not spread out over bigger pads. Even these little things can cause discomfort after a while cause they fit on some of the ear but not enough of it really. Sorry to say this look to be kinda cool instead of doing it with more quality.
6N Pure Copper?My 50 cm cables from XINHS arrived today (qdc, MMCX and 2-pin) :
Interesting, it's now listed on Linsoul for order, but there's no mention of it being a hybrid, just a 6mm DD
I asked some shops on Aliexpress, all the sellers say it is a single DD in the final product. I think they were thinking of using a BA + DD initially for the BLON MINI, but then perhaps during beta testing they realized the BA was a hindrance and scrapped it.
Well 2 ways to look at it, some may say they are being safe and sticking to their DD roots, but then I think all the BLON releases so far, very few had BA added (they are mostly known for their DD). So perhaps they chose the safer path to tread.

I just received that same cable today (in 2.5 balanced) myself. I've got it connected to my new KZ ZAX at the moment while burning in that setup. It seems well constructed, albeit a bit lightweight. It looks to be good quality though. Impressions will come by the end of this weekend.

So the BGVP NS9 arrived this morning. I've had a only few hours so they will need time to burn in/break in. These are purely first impressions. The cable is a nice silver and grey, 4 core Silver coated Copper cable. I got 2.5mm and am listening with a FiiO 4.4mm adapter, from my HiBy R5. The tips were too small for me, so I've put some Spiral Dot Large on. Good news, they sound well integrated and have an immediately noticeable trait. Quite a big 3D, wide, soundstage and imaging is excellent. Very clear and present bass, not boomy, and also not intrusive. Like it a lot. On 2Pac, Ambitionz As A Ridah, the bass thumps. All I Need, Radiohead....... Wild Horses, Rolling Stones........ Funky Kingston, Toots and the Maytals....... Cocteau (Binaural), Ottmar Liebert....... Ride On, Christy Moore...... Where do they Go, Tony Joe White, all sound naturally good. Very natural sound. Mids are full and very much in the correct position of the stage. Highs may be a little early in rolling off and maybe a little short on treble energy, though, don't know if that will change with burn in . Quickly tried all three filters, but too early to really hear differences, I've put the silver one on to maybe extend the treble a little. So going to be solely using these for a couple of weeks to do some burn in then I'll post some more impressions.

Love the SA6. I think it did pretty well for Dunu so I bet they might consider making a higher end version.
^^Yeah, I'm hoping we get a new flagship from DUNU soon....by end of '21 at least. Easy for me to say, admittedly, as I'm not a Luna owner, hahaha. Anyway, I said in January I was waiting until a new DUNU flagship before buying another IEM, and I wavered with a couple recent releases, but I think I'm back on solid ground as far as that goes. I've convinced myself I need to see what DUNU has cooking for the top of their lineup before buying again. I have been so impressed by them since coming back to the hobby almost a year ago.
