I'm aware of who Meze are. It's worth noting I'm referring to one single model from them.

Typical bold claims in their description:

Frequency response:

As an Advar owner I have this arriving tomorrow will be comparing this $40 brother from another mother

Very fun experiment, doubt it will be anything alike. Still a very bold move to make it look the same, or rude.


On another note.
Tried today to also finish a small review for IMR BC2023, ended up becoming long so will probably take some days more
Had this for 5 months but had problems with fit and even tuning, tip rolling and its okay now. Very full on sound, great for metal or rock.

The IMR BC 2023 is special! IMO It deserves all the attention it gets!

Its a little to hot for me in the upper mids, but still within my treshold.
Rock or metal music have such a great energetic sound, it is also so large and spacious sounding.

And live recordings with already a large stage is mindblowing.

Yes, a push in the mids and a push in the lows! Still trying it with the Bass cable was divine?

Been looking at iems from BGVP, Toneking and some others i didnt had heard of before. BGVP does pack alot of BA in their iem for a low price. Like their NS10 model. 1DD + 9 BA for 200 USD or something. Unknown iem like that makes me curious. I had added 5 different iem for 699USD total from linsoul in cart but just managed to stop myself

$5-600 will get you some really nice stuff, especially used. You're much better off putting it all in one place rather than a bunch of "maybes" spread around.

$700 can get you some pretty sweet stuffs that have staying power. I think some AuR and Sound Rhyme are in that bracket.

If I were to buy random stuffs to discover, I would go to aliexpress. Linsoul stuffs are pretty “mainstream”, IMHO. If they are not mentioned here, it’s likely that they are not good or not special.

^you guys are right. I dont expect to find a hidden gem, that beats a TOTL. Its just that some of these iems makes me curious, because on paper some of these should be really really good. Since i cant find any reviews on some of them, i just want to buy them and try them.

Are we sure that all the good stuff are known to us? or its just their marketing that they send their stuff to reviewers and we get to know their brand name. It could be some brands out there that makes really good stuff, but dont know how to market them?

Of course we don't know. For real discovery, I think going to Aliexpress and trying some IEMs with poorly translated description is the best bet. I'm still curious about GS Audio, but their tuning seems messy.

I like to look at Linsoul store when I have nothing to do (yes, I have no life), and I found that most unpopular IEMs there are not popular for a reason. Some of the IEMs made me say "yeah, good luck selling that for that price." If an item is from a well known company (yes, I even consider CJV or or similar) that is no longer mentioned, safe to guess that it is not a good "discovery".

My next discovery is Kinera. Fingercrossed that they don't suck, since I haven't seen the graph
