Hidizs has nailed it! One day with the Planar MP145 IEMs and I can declare that is an absolute win... Don't know how they have managed it but the lows are unexpectedly big for planars, layering is perfect, resolution is excellent and many other great achievements here.

As far as I know, Kickstarter campaign would launch in the nearest future. It really worth to participare as an early bird since the price would be something ~100 USD which is the best the market can offer for 14.5mm planars + additional tuning filters. KS launch and notification to become early bird is available on the product page of the official site.

Here are some of my pics for the upcoming review

Too early now, but in the future I'd be interested to compare Juzear Clear with CVJ Freedom... also the different cables. They're about the same range of price, but I guess for different musical genres.

There are other wonderful things that happens in the audio world aside this audio soap opera that has plot similar to predictable Mexican telenovelas. If you observe that I didn't review any KZ products since the EDCX and their sister brand's CCA HM20 for few months as I'm not really interested. I didn't even review any Moondrop products aside from her sister brands, TruthEar and SoftEars. KXXS, KATO, SSR, Quarks and Aria, they are all disappointment in my opinion. No one on the current Moondrop products in under $200 will ever replace the Kanas Pro. If I want an upgrade of Kanas Pro. It is SoftEars Twilight or Turii.
Kanas Pro, KZ BA10 and Tinhifi T3: hard guns crew, very hard to kill. 💪

For anyone interested here is my LETSHUOER Cadenza review.
Much more expensive than stuff usually featured in this thread but worth it if you can afford it and you are looking for a "headphone" almost experience from an IEM.

About CVJ Freedom one sentence: very good, but definitely on intense side, almost unbearable with 4BA mode for most, I guess.

Initial impressions on TANGZU FU DU

I just repost this one from my FB account.

Since there are some interests regarding TangZu Audio FU DU. Here's my take regarding on its sound quality, if you are quite familiar with some vintage Sony headphones like those classic MDR series which has typical U-shaped balanced-warmish tuning to give you that good old analogueish-feel tonality, FU DU have those characteristics. This is quite good for long listening session and nostalgia moment.

Note: the stock cable included on FU DU is 4.4mm, so I'm using the stock cable of Hidizs MS5 temporarily.

This is new. NiceHCK web site got these cases. You can buy based on what you want to carry around and need.

Belive me something like this from other vendors cost a whole lot more.
I bought the Effect Audio case that is similar to this at a much higher price like you said, but I think these seem rather fickle compared to the sturdiness of the one I have.

I would love to hear from anybody who gets these new NiceHCK models as I would be interested in knowing how good they are and potentially buying some
