Oh boy, Simgot about to wreak havoc on my bank account again...
Those came with the Rose Technics Ceramics, and they are my favorites.What brand are the wide bore purple please ?
I tried, I can hear a little difference but it is not like either of the IEMs made it sound bad or that it felt like a huge difference? I tried with the Aurora song and also with Little Lies from Fleetwood Mac. In the end I felt the Delci sounded a tad more natural to my ears. There were no cringe moments and the difference didn't seem huge either. I didn't notice any differences in the positioning but to tell the truth I already have difficulty matching the volumes of the IEMs so maybe this analyzing is not for me? But at the same time it is still highly interesting.
Now I am going to try and AB test some tracks between my Shanling M3U and Hiby R6P2, see if I can pick up anything there. I only played around a bit trying to see if I could hear the difference between class A and AB mode on the R6P2 after receiving it yesterday and while I feel I could pick up on it, it is also not a shocking difference.
I've used Divinus Velvet Tips. And yes, everytime I've tested with the same source for both I've heard quite a large difference in bass response.I haven’t heard the tangzu iem, but I’m quite surprised you said the M5E has more low end warmth while the XuanWu Gate is more neutral as the graphs suggest the XuanWu Gate has thicker lower mids more midbass and more low end warmth.
What are those tips you’re using on the M5E, are they foams?
Same here. Even though I hit a jackpot, by dipping back into the sub $50 teir, with the CCA Trio. Like any recovering addict, I started making more unneeded purchases: TRN ST7 and the Kefine Delci.so now I'm tapping out for the summer. No more purchases of IEMs until 11.11
The lowest price I could find on Aliexpress is 68€.If I were new to single DDs, then the Delci would make all of thesensecents (because it's under $50)
lol hmmm love to read this as I have one of their products in for reviewYa the little hexagon icon is Rose Technics for sure. I actually prefer that name to the new Roseselsa but . Not my company so I'm sure they won't care about my preference lol
Gotta strike, when there are site wide coupons available. The next two are:The lowest price I could find on Aliexpress is 68€.
Still, looking really good.
Cheers!

Big thank you to @Neweymatt for letting me borrow his personal unit and grumpy pepe @grumpy213 for sending the IEM over.
Years ago when I was wet behind the ears, I wanted to blind buy this IEM from musicteck but I chickened out. I wouldn’t be disappointed if I went for it.
This IEM might be one of the first 3DD IEMs in the world (yes, it’s an old IEM). It has a tight, snappy, and dynamic presentation rather than big wooly and “analogue” like you would expect from 3DD and the wooden shells. The treble, likely 5kHz region, can flare up in some tracks, but fine with most of my library.
The upper treble extension is as expected behind the Anni 2023 and thus micro detail and the reverberation sound is not as apparent. But the details within the midrange is quite good.
The strength of this IEM besides the dynamic presentation is the wide stage and the unique way it shapes the stage. For example, when I watch an episode of big bang theory, it creates a strong impression that the laugh track (or live audience) is behind my ears to the back of my head.
Edit:
Nicer photo in daylight. This IEM has beautiful shells in real life. Given how I was very unimpressed by MEST III build, I’m surprised that it is this well done.
If you plan to buy this interchangeable plug cable from XINHS, my advice is: DON’T.
I thought it was a good deal and grabbed 3 last year. One of the worst deal ever. It audibly drop the sound quality of my IEMs. Testing the Andro with R4 using this cable, the sound was so poor that I had to take the stock (also pretty horrid in a different way) cable from CFA to compare. Yep, the XINHS cable is the cause.
Congratulations on the purchases! I hope you’ll enjoy the ST7 as much as I do. As for the CCA-CRA Pro, I’m eagerly waiting to hear your impressions. Have fun!It's new IEM day, how exciting! Fresh from the mailbox.
My longest stretch since I wandered into this hobby and this thread was if I remember correctly 8 months? 9 months? That was broken up by the purchase of my first TWS IEM, which less than a year later, doesn't work. I had that stretch and maybe a 5 month stretch before that, that got broken up by the purchase of the IE600, but those would be my longest stretches. Inevitably, I cave and buy something on sale.Haven't bought IEMs for probably close to a year now. Caved and impulse ordered some stuff today. Felt bad about it. Put in my beloved T800s. Remembered I don't need more IEMs. Cancelled order.
Feels bad man. But also good?
