Since I'm wearing them right now, I think it is fair to mention that I like the SIVGA / Sendy Audio Peacock Headphones! I made a full video with my usual funny style, background music, and personal info!

I hope the video is fun to watch, and don't forget, you're on my YT channel to smile and have some fun~

They run small , but have wide bore. I'm using LG but think if they had XL it'll be perfect
Beauty. And do you like them? I've the Azla Sednas on my Timeless Right now - also wide bore and sound great with good seal and deep(er) insertion - really just debating whether to picm up a couple more Azlas or spring for the springs. Have you tries the Xelastec or Azla Crystal? How is the texture in relation to those 2? Thanks again.

Qian39 arrived tonight. They look and feel like they have been salvaged from an old cassette player bundle, but they sound lovely. Again, I must state that I’ve had limited experience with earbuds, but these seem to have greater energy in the mids than the Yincrow X6 I tried previously and seem a tad airier in the highs as well. It does seem to struggle a little in complex tracks, but piano and vocals sound really good with these.

Very simple construction, extremely lightweight, not particularly premium-feeling but wasn’t really expecting it. Opted for the clear colour variant in order to be able to see the driver better and because my previous few KZs have all been black.

Getting driver flex in my left ear, but this can be alleviated by reaching around with my right arm and pulling on the back of my ear while inserting the IEM.

Listening to a few songs so far, nothing jumps out to me as being “wrong” about it. That’s a good sign.

Everyone's a bit of a basshead deep inside, so it will be no surprise that I take some pleasure in reviewing basshead IEMs, and headphones, today's star being the Mammoth IEM from Campfire Audio, an IEM made to shake the ground wherever it walks!!

It has the same ergonomics as the Holocene and Ara, but it has a totally different sonic presentation, focused on both the impact, depth and wide stage, and being smooth up top, for less fatigue and long-term listening comfort. More comparisons, pairings and info in the full written review down below~

New LCP driver IEM from Astrotec:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003715639529.html

There is a non detachable version at $19.90 USD and a detachable one at $34.90 ($15 increase for detachable 2 pin connector). Graph looks like there may be a 3ish kHz peak (but pinna gain looks like < 10 dB, so maybe it won't be that shouty).

Is the cra a cheaper alternative/bang for buck buy than the zex pro? 🤔
I personally like the CRA for the slight U/V signature, which is more of my preference. It is the best bang for the buck right now for a dynamic driver. But, if you are looking for a more neutral signature, you'll find it in the ZEX PRO, though the high peaks could be questionable for those that are sensitive to treble or harsh peaks.

This looks promising

Last year was the beryllium driver rage. This year seems to be LCP rage - eg Moondrop Aria 2021, Tin T3 Plus.

This one looks like a Tanchjim Tanya/Moondrop Quarks competitor.

I've had both Quarks and Tanya for awhile now, and they are actually decent for $20. Tanya sounds better to my ears. Like these small, cable-down iems sometimes, and at this price range the SQ is amazing from just a few years ago... Keep them coming.
