That’s great! Blessing 3 deserves a retune to reveal its full potential. No more overly thin and shouty mid and let the dual woofers shine, and it would be a great IEM.
I'd buy one if it goes for $360 or so even if I get an endgame beforehand.

I like the Dusk and use mine on a monthly basis, I'm expecting the B3 Dusk to have improved bass and treble extension with less shout.

* Can anyone recommend a good replacement cable for the GK100's Hakugei cable (8-strand 6N single crystal copper silver-plated wire)🤔? [Wire died pretty much out of the box after less than 2 hours use😭]

What I ❤️ about that copper cable was it enhanced bass & mids while leaving treble pretty much intact (no noticeable amplification or de-amplification)🙂.

Had that Hakugei cable perfectly paired with a BA-EST set before it died😔...


Apologies for using discovery thread, desperation set in🤪... danke, danke
😊✌️

When Crinacle tuned the Blessing 2, the collab was called the Blessing 2 Dusk. Rumors are that he's tuning the Blessing 3 so the collab will be the Blessing 3 Dusk.
Gotcha. Thought we already had a Blessing 4. Was confused.

Unrelated but laughed when I read it

More eartips so you know, consider that 😂

I read a few people describing the Kiwiears quintet as sub bass anemic/ light over at reddit. I personally feel they have enough bass which is very well done. Then again i saw some other reddit posts saying that the bass was bleeding into the mids etc. I don't think that is the case at all. If i have to nitpick i would say that the mid bass can be a little light. I was indeed apprehensive that the treble would be too much for me. Not the case at all, even though the Quintet is a detail monster. There is a slight hint of planar timbre if you're looking for it. I would urge anyone using the Quintet to tip and cable roll. They do make all the difference.

If it died after 2 hours of use I would send it back for a replacement.

Nice review. Harmon tuning definitely is not for me.
I thought the same way for the longest time, until I heard one that is actually tuned to Harman with no weird jiggles or peaks. Now I'm a convert. I like it a lot more than, for example, the Moondrop VDSF target.

I'm a fan of the Blessing, but I wouldn't call them more comfortable than the Timeless.

I also never noticed that the Timeless had the recessed treble.

It's true that there are opinions for all tastes.

I can't find any reviews of this, looks like a brand new IEM with the name of Tingker H6. Tempted to pull the trigger though as Audiosense's/Floaudio's recent releases have been well reviewed and the coupon brings this from ~£127 down to ~£50.
