There is no possibility to order 3 pairs of one size yet, only the SML set. So it's unusable for me, because only size L (14 mm) fits me. Too bad, they look interesting, they would be worth trying.

Same, but I went for it anyway. Price is pretty good and I’ve found that with one or two kinds of tips I can use a medium in one ear and a large in the other. The SpinFit W1 is like that. These may be too. I’ll see…

So this is new. Was browsing aliexpress and saw these made by Tri audio.

Like the design. Might have to try a set.

Like the ePro tips, sort of? https://penonaudio.com/epro-ep00.html

Today I bring good news. I just launched live a personal website where I will be hosting my reviews and impressions while serving as a personal index as well.

To celebrate this launch, I also reviewed the legendary Sony IER-Z1R that you can find there.

Thanks for your time and have a great week!

The IER-Z1R is my reference, that I often hold other IEMs to. And....I agree with you on your comparison to the N3, so true with how they share many things, but the bass is better defined and tailored with the IER-Z1R......just like you say! I didn’t know it was discontinued!

Time for a new model, the IER-Z1R2

The website displays well on my phone. So far so good. I scrolled around and did not find anything buggy. Best of luck!

The review is quite epic. I imagined it took a lot of time to write.

Perhaps another case of trying too hard to force the FR to match a target? Low technical performance is no-no for me.

My rule of thumb is to get both the Salnotes Zero and CRA to test the waters, both will help you find your tonal preference.

Then get something in the $150-300 price bracket that matches the most with your tonal taste and call it a day because spending more is not worth it in the long run given how competitive budget IEMs have gotten in the last 2 years.

Bonus step is to get a kilobuck IEM BUT DONT enter the side quest IEM forest because you'll end up spending money on sets that add nothing to your set up or are novelty at best.

I've been stuck inside the side quest IEM forest for a while and it only gets worse when I really want to get a FatFreq Maestro Mini which is the epiphany of "side quest" IEMs.

Indeed. Too many waifu boxes, not enough sets that will remain as a daily driver (or even be remembered) a year from now

the ultimate quest of these companies is to create something that will be remembered a year from now. Things like the Blon 03, Sennheiser IE300, ISN H50, or the Tripowin Olina that are still talked about, mentioned in best of, and keep dropping alerts every day from their respective threads. This is what is strived for.
