Then you find reviews without any comparison or references to tracks.

no track references i still can live without, because that one usually a bit subjective, but no comparison to other gears at all, now that i can't find bearings at all

I find the comparison section of reviews very helpful also. I then have points of reference that I can relate too. Over time, I have come to understand how some reviewers "hear". I can draw conclusions much easier from those reviewers articles.

yup, sometimes we can find reviewers (or non reviewer-members of this forum) that we know/trust that their taste align with ours, to a point that all they need is just to say "this one's good", and I'd buy it

Dunu teased their upcoming Falcon Pro model. The design looks quite nice, though there's a good resemblance with the old Falcon model. The laser-etched Dunu icons are a nice touch.

Given the previous iteration (Dunu Falcon C) was a single CNT driver setup, I think this will also be a single-DD model. I low-key hope that these have the ECLIPSE driver system (Dunu said before that some relatively budget models will have the ECLIPSE tech later in the year).

This is the second Dunu release that uses the new driver tech that began with the Zen. My understanding is a third model is coming at I believe a lower price than the new Falcon sometime later this year.

Smsl released the SA400 power amp. Looks like a huge upgrade from SA300, with significant price jump too.

They're sounding exquisite
They've been on pretty much since I got them, apart from A/B comparisons (I may have to write an actual review for once).
Did some tip rolling (I find them very tip sensitive) and settled on Xelastecs as offering the best balance between bass and treble. Almost missed this combo as they're not normally a tip I'm particularly fond of, but they're working perfectly on the A3H+.

Nice. I tried the sednaearfit light short for a while, but it was uncomfortable, and the subbass lacked body. Switched over to BGVP A07, suits me perfect now.

Sennheiser sold to Phonak/Sonova. Should be interesting should they decide to produce a hybrid combining their tech?

KB Neon sounds quite interesting.

I just read the KB Neon is a single BA, not a BA and triple DD.

Think you misread a post. Single BA and triple DD was meant as two different iems coming from K Bear, the Neon being the former.

It's quite clear from their picture already. Not that much space in there.

Seems very reasonably priced, thanks for the review!

You're taking the piss right? 600 bucks a cable? That's absolutely insane. And did you actually read the "sound analysis" in that review? Verbal diarrhea.

Isn't it 300?

The plain copper one is 299. The tri-hybrid is 600.

In the product page under wire there is a drop down list with all the prices. The pure litz silver version is 1300 lmao!

The master of coherency is back! A single Dynamic Driver IEM with a really coherent sound, delightful bass, and a sparkly treble, the FiiO FD5 is here to bring you the fun!!

I made a full in-depth written review about it, and as always compared it to other important competitors, including the older FH5, FA7, but also Unique Melody 3DT, and even Jomo P3.

One thing is for sure, FiiO nailed down the bass and the midrange really well with FD5, and they made them comfortable too. The 300 USD price point is rather good too for the performance, but FD5 still has to stand up to the other ~300 USD IEMs out there, so I invite you to read more about how well it stands its ground, and I hope I will be of help to you to decide if this is going to be your next best thing!
