Seems S**F** (who made the "two letters and the number six," KP580, MT300, MT100 Pro, etc.) has recently released a new product, the KP616. They claim to have a 5mm carbon nanotube dynamic within a metal shell shaped in a semi-closed design for ~$22 CDN - around the same price as the original "two letters and the number six" and cheaper than the three other IEMs (four if you count the KP520 having two different tunings apparently) they've released in their "KP" line which I'm assuming is something along the lines of their new "budget" lineup nowadays.

Just bought one of these as well as a similar looking NS0.

Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to impressions, I really like the look of the KP616, if it sounds bassy it might be something right up my alley to round out my collection for a price cheaper than just about all of the IEMs I still use. And that NS0 looks interesting too, to me notably because the Bluetooth models are the same price as the non-Bluetooth ones. I see some options are labelled "standard" and others "low frequency" too? Which version did you order might I ask?

As with the other Nature Sound (aka NS Audio) IEMs I bought in the past I got the "bass" version again which I'm pretty sure won't be very warm but will likely have just a bit of added bass vs the regular version.

Interesting. They seem to be an OEM company that is selling off of aliexpress. I am wondering if they make earphones for various others on aliexpress Some of their designs look similar in configurations to various phones that are sold on aliexpress. BGVP, NiceHCK among a few. If those earphones are legit those might be a great deal.

GT10 uses 6 sonion and 4 knowles.

I always wneatd to own a pair of high-end ephoarnes.

just wanted to ask for anyone that had tried the Focus audio EDM, im looking closely at em, tbh im quite happy with the i99 and still waiting on the i88 mini which im hoping will go to great lenghts with a wee of burn in (fingers crossed)

just wanting to hear some impressions, from what i read, i think the vocal impressed one or 2 around here.

Hi, I know this is not really directly linked to IEM's, but as I mostly hang out here, want to share my not a review - review of Burson V5i-D

My first one, so don't beat me too hard

The Focus EDM is very warm, warmer than the i99 I think

Great find. Will keep an eye on this seller. I hope someone will take one for the team

If they join in on the general AliExpress sale from June 15-22, I'll jump on at least one of them. They've definitely garnered my interest, but I'm a bit gun shy at full price, even if their pricing is extremely competitive. Half a month's wait to see if they'll do a sale isn't too bad.

My main interests are in their:

GT12 12BA (Sonion 38&33 series for LF&MF, TWFK HF&UHF)
GD11 10BA+1DD Hybrid (unspecified drivers)
GT10 10BA (Sonion LF&MF, TWFK HF&UHF)
GD9 8BA+1DD Hybrid (unspecified drivers)
GD7B 6BA+1DD Hybrid (Sonion 33&23 series for LF, MF&HF, TWFK UHF)
GD5 4BA+1DD Hybrid (Sonion 33&23 series for LF, MF&HF, TWFK UHF)

Of those, I'm most likely to splurge on the GD7B thanks to the extremely reference tuned frequency response graph they showed, though the GT12 is also incredibly intriguing, as I've not heard anything with the Sonion 38 series drivers, so I'm curious how they perform.

LAND on Massdrop for $550. Not bad of a deal. Only for 3 more days.
