Haha that's pretty helpful stuff. I'm really confused about TFZ's naming convention. Like how did 19th edition of No. 3 come about when we didn't see most of the other editions??

But in general, TFZ's tuning is commonly V shaped/basshead stuff (there are exceptions of course).
Come on Bask, it was the bench pair :wink: :beerchug: I personally appreciate as many tries as it takes to get it just right, that fine balance of getting all you can out of what your working with :grin: Soup to Nuts as the old saying goes :thinking:

The FORCE1 joins the ranks of the surprisingly good sub-$100 single-DDs that have been released over the past year or two. Slightly warm V-shaped tonality with very nice, textured, impactful bass, detailed and decently well-extended treble, and overall good technicalities for its driver config and price bracket. Good comfort, outstanding isolation, and too much bling for my personal aesthetic taste.

Tequila Pro - there is 1 review on headfi and that's pretty much it on the whole web. Does anyone else have it?

Looking for more midbass than my Sony N1 and Ikko OH10. The design is really good. Like Fiio FD series but better.

Akros has a YouTube video review of them. Seems to be positive, fun though not technical. The video description also has a text review.

Wait. What about the TFZ Coco wireless adapter? Seems like an odd choice to use the same name twice. These don’t appear to be designed to match the adapter band. Weird.
Does it need to match?? Not like you can use the COCO on the COCO with a fixed cable. COCO true wireless won't plug in either. COCO Seems to be a line of stuff that TFZ may or may not reveal why they are all different but yet all "COCO". TFZ moves in mysterious ways! :)

I guess that’s what I mean. What are they up to with this naming convention?

I've published my review of the SuperTFZ FORCE1. It's a competent and well-tuned V shaped IEM that does most things right. Despite the fact that it's pretty far from my target frequency response preference, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know it. It isolates very well and could be a great on-the-go daily driver for many people.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a basshead iem for heavy genres, like metalcore, so I need a lot of thumpy bass that I can feel, not only hear. But I also want this iem to be technical enough, and not peaky on upper midrange and treble and have a decent vocals. I've been advised to look over TFZ brand and I recently ordered TFZ No.3, which was described to me from a colleague as: high resolution, very bassy IEM. So I came here to clarify if I made right decision or there's more capable TFZ earphones that will suite my tastes? I'm currently using TRI I3 Pro, but there's not enough midbass rumble (awesome subbass slam though) and they're prone to sibilance on poor quality tracks, FiiO FD5, which are heavily modded to make them more bassy, sounds cool, technical and realistic for the most part, but still lacks that bass kick for me, and have recessed vocals, Audiosense AQ0, which sound signature suites me best, bass rumbles very pleasantly, but the resolution and technicality is often not enough. So, what you guys think of my choice? I've read about TFZ Live X, that they're have even more bass than No.3, and more relaxed mids and highs, but there's not enough information about them. Some people say they're awesome, some say they're overwhelmed in bass and muddled.

For midbass u should look for:
IKOO OH10
KBEAR BELIEVE
FOCUS (VOCAL OR EDM)
