I'll go first.

My favorite purchase was the Fidue A73

It changed my portable audio needs. All I need is my LG G3 and A73. No amps needed. It's probably my favorite thing to listen to aside from the ZMF Omni. The portability sets it over top as my number one.

Looking forward to reading about everyone's favorite things!

Could your answer end up being Fidue A73 + Mojo as we have almost 2 weeks left?

I probably won't get a mojo in time for that to be my answer, but I hear it's pretty incredible.

I was temped to do a Relic and evade your question.

But my answer so far is the Hidizs AP100 + Yams MT220 for a total of £300.
 
One more gif before I also get the flock out of here!

My favorite audio-related purchase for 2015 probably was... well, I have two. I have really enjoyed the CKR9LTDs I got(which replaced my Duoza I also got this year; previous favorite), and I also got a TDK Trek Max A34 Bluetooth Speaker(another favorite Mpow Streambot Y Bluetooth FM Transmitter; which allowed me to finally play my music in my car instead of just using CDs!). The Bluetooth speaker has been really great to use at the rock wall during work shifts while climbing or having a competition, and actually has pretty impressive bass extension not generally known to portable Bluetooth speakers.

What was your favorite purchase or acquisition of 2015?

 
+1 for the Yamaha MT220's. Throw on some brainwavz hybrid pads and I feel I'm in hi-fi heaven.
 
+1 for the VE Monks. Giant killers.
 
and I'll add the VE Zens (first 1.0, and now 2.0). More hi-fi heaven for a mid-fi price.
 
I also acquired a couple pairs of awesome dusty vintage JVC monitor headphones which frankly amaze me.

Mojo does indeed rock!

MY PORTABLE-FOCUSED BEST OF 2015
Earbuds: VE Zen 2.0
IEM: FLC 8S
Amp: Aune B1 2016 Version
DAC/Amp: Chord Mojo
DAP: Shanling M2

Not all are acquisitions, though...

P.S., If I to choose just one, it's probably be FLC 8S :L3000:


And yes, I've gotten random DHL notifications before :wink_face:

My favorite purchase for 2015 is the LZ-A2.  Monk should be here soon too; it left New York yesterday.
 
Hisoundfi, what do you prefer in the A73 over the LZ-A2?

For me it was the X7, still enjoying it as it improves with each FW :)
 
@Hisoundfi The Mojo is really something special 
 
 
Guys need a bit of help. The V-Sonic VSD3 which I gifted my bro broke (not surprised as Vsonic has **** QC). Instead of buying another one, what do you recommend in place of it? I think my brother really liked the shape of the Vsonic shell and how it fits so neatly into ear. 
 
I did consider the SE215 but I hear the VSD3 sounds better so I don't want to get him a downgrade either!

My favorite purchase 2015 was also the first (and most expensive) the Fidelio X2.

Best IEM for me is VE Duke.

Biggest revelation the VE earbuds.
