The discovery thread!

The shell looks identical to KBEar Believe, probably the company used the same ODM. I never heard about that company in Japan though, although HiFiGo description says as if it's a big name in Japan.

I was bellowing, "Temptation Be Damned"!.......

Then, I gave in to Temptation!

Now, I am screaming, "Wold" Be Damned"!........

Until I hear them sing their merry tunes.....

Another joins the "Wold"!

We Can Be Heroes!" (just for £32).....In order that she can shoot Sylar as he is about to explode: resulting from his naysayer arrogance in the form of a HBB FR graph - In totl ignorance of the new mantra : "Geeks have now indeed: Inherited the Wold" !!

...Hiro came from the future to warn Peter that he must save The Cheerleader, TC :
"Save the Cheerleader, save the WOLD" !!

Got shocked when I saw the price.

Then noticed that it seems to include 4 iems.

No worries trumpethead....to keep costs down, whilst echoing the GK10 ethos....I invariably use Reversed KZ Starline silicone eartips - extremely cheap & provide a perfect seal.
Because your turning silicon inside out - the surface texture is very grippy

Thanks I've got a bunch already reversed just waiting for a home!

With taxes and shipping it's damn expensive for a blind buy.

I believe that, too on top of being a collectible due to its limited run...

Here we go GK10!

OOTB the dynamic drivers are still bit dull, will burn in for a while, but the treble is already good enough to tell high resolving capability
it’s heart shape? maybe “ace of spades”

-very nicely tuned tonal balance
-highly resolving and dynamic
-no signs of harshness
-wider diffusion field
-dry side of the tonality, a bit like moondrop’s VDSF tuning with gentle bass floor like KBEar Lark’s
-sounds like Monarch with less sub-bass boost, pretty smooth overall, I may say bright-neutral with added upper treble spices 8k-10khz for diffusion field illustration, also it reminds me of ER2XR with less mid elevation and bit higher bass floor

A-class IEM with sub$50 quote is a shocking disruption Mini-Monarch it is, actually it got better sound stage.

I can already tell only IEMs on the list below that can trade blows are Modded Aria and properly source matched AST

Will report back details on GK10 thread, and compare it to
-KZ ZSN PRO/ ZAX /AST / ZAS(incoming)
-CCA CSN & Moondrop Aria

I can tell this IEM is a great hit Thanks @Dsnuts !

Better wait for a normal batch production unit review if it's worth it...

Me? Hero? Underpants over tights?

Cape or no cape, banish the thought, lest it induce unsuspecting folk to heave up their supper!

The DD's definitely warm up over time. They're smooth, resolving, pack a respectable punch etc and don't unbalance the tuning.
