Seems Qudelix is releasing their own IEM called QX-Over Earphones: https://www.facebook.com/qudelix/posts/544196400288086

Think they are better known for their Dac/amp stuff, but interesting to see how this set turns out.

I believe that set is meant to be used only with their 5k amp though.

Yeah think so, looks like there's some lame proprietary connector there, sigh.

Yes, they're not bad without filter mesh IMO....and Spring2 stage closing can be affected by this very clumsy ''mesh'' too.

All in all, for the price, in stock form, its a fail to my ears. Tamed dynamic, same thick thumpy (Spring serie) bass that lack natural extension-rumble, lack of air.

I review them here lol

1am time to sleep for me. See ya mate!
It's strange how polarized the reviews of the Summer seem to have been so far, regarding technicalities more so than on the rather subjective question of tuning. For example, other reviewers claim that the Summer bass speed and tightness is much improved from the Spring series contrary to your findings.

I have a pair on the way and have no idea what to expect! Which, after all, is likely to be for the best.

I decided to put in an order for the GD7B, and I'm glad I did, as their pricing has increased a bit since then. It's still pretty reasonable, but whatever. I decided to take the plunge after chatting with their rep and learning that they can use different resin and faceplates when assembling your IEM without any extra charge. I got them to make it with the shell design from the SD3 because I liked its aesthetic more than the blue ginko pattern. I'll post pics and impressions when it arrives.

Manufacturers have traditionally targeted the mid-year for new product launches, and SMSL, TOPPING, and MOONDROP are no exception. So let's take a look in our crystal ball and preview what's coming.


6th
At our end, we would like to introduce an intriguing IEM from MOONDROP, which has not been listed yet. It has appeared in various Chinese headphone/audio EXPO shows and numerous guests have auditioned it and given their testimonials. As a result of this valuable feedback, MOONDROP has micro re-tuned the IEM and made it even better! This is their first IEM with electrostatic drivers and recently they have dropped some hints on their social media channels, listing Variations and its 1DD+2BA+2EST configuration. Rumour has it that it's hitting the market around mid-June. We look forward to seeing it!

Finally, thanks for your time and reading, as always, we'd love to hear any questions, comments, and suggestions.

Not sure if Moondrop Variations has been mentioned on this thread.

New Moondrop looks interesting. The description mentions this as being the first Moondrop with est drivers, but if I recall correctly, the Solis uses Sonion ests as well and retails for $1,099. I wonder if this is going to be the new flagship?
