My latest set of buds landed this week, about $50 and my go-to now for relaxing in bed before sleep or during work when doing less taxing tasks. Ksearphone Bell-LBs...

Looks nice. I think these may fit me better.
At $50, I may give these a try.

How do they sound compared to EM5?

You might actually find a better deal on AE while 11.11 offers still on.

They lack bass compared to EM5 but very balanced otherwise, amazing soundstage and detail - really engaging listen.

BTW, EM5 working out about €155 on the Fiio AE store for 11.11, incredible deal - I was debating another set to hold in reserve!

Lbbs EQ: Boost 60Hz by about 8dBs which adds depth and body, creates a robust low end. Enjoy

Have you tried higher up the range in Ksearphone? The Blue or Ti?

I've been wanting to try one of the DUNU cables with the lightning adapter. Then, I find that they are having an early Black Friday sale.

The Hulk Pro is on sale for $299 and it comes with a free lightning adapter. So, I bought it.

No. Not yet

Just realised how well my incoming N6ii Ti will match the Moondrop Chaconne... titanium and brass trim on both

Thanks for the heads up! I have been thinking about potentially getting one of their cables, especially since I just got my first phone without a headphone jack. Would be nice to be able to plug right in.

Though I do already have the duw02 cable, so I guess I could just get the new adapter. Wasn't super thrilled with it though, the twist of the cable was kind of sloppy.

Radius Deep Mount…hmmmm these names are very suggestive…

They're going to make another release on Deep Mount too, later this month (link)

And I can't even..

Oriolus Isabellae - cant decide whether I find the name charming or ridiculous. Certainly easier to type than the Traillllliieeelllliiii and not as weird as the Gay Bulge.

It's funny how they're spelled. But I didn't know that the Irish pronounced them this way..

Duo looks interesting. Wasn’t a fan of the trio


In other news, looks like Pw audio got Cyrus (oriolus/hyla) to make them an iem. Pricing is attractive too!

Nice pricing! It says that they're purchasable only directly through Cyras. And AFAIK there's no demo anywhere here as well..

So, I got my IMR Acoustics Splash Of Red yesterday. Right after taking the delivery from Post Office I opened it and started to try right away. After answering some curiosities from the surrounding strangers, finally, when I could focus on the sound...I was troubled. The left earpiece was not having a good seal and all the bass seemed concentrated on the right! At times I was afraid that I got a bad unit or what!

Well, my heart sank. But the initial impression of the sound was still quite good. So I tried different nozzle combinations, and finally, after reading the suggestion prvided in the booklet, I settled on the Grey bottom filter and Blue top filter. For tips, I found out that longer nozzle and wider flange is what I require to get a perfect seal. Had to use a Magaosi tip I had in my collection. Curse my left ear!! Azla Sednaearfit Light M also provides very good seal, but hurts very slightly after prolonged usage.

And finally, I could enjoy the sound, and suffice to say I was appropriately mindblown! The bass was near perfect! I was afraid that Just north of neutral may mean a linear bass response, but I could not be more wrong! A healthy dose of bass with sufficient punch and rumble, very nice body coupled with speed makes it agile yet satisfactorily full bodied.
Midrange is OPEN and TRANSPARENT! Such an amazing clarity! Such crisp notes and details! Such boldly defined notes! And the wide and deep stage! Took my breath away literally! Incredible separation as well! Treble response is well extended as well while having sufficient energy. The upper-mids have some hotness that is stinging a bit, but I am expecting it to go away with Burn-in. If not, I will try swapping the Blue with Red top filter and see how it sounds. But frankly, for 169 GBP / 226 USD, I am more than impressed!

Will put it on burn in from tomorrow or day after tomorrow. Till then I will listen to it. Below are some shots I took this afternoon.

Nice I’ve also got a similar colour coordinated match for N6ii Ti incoming love the titanium/gold combination on gear

Amazing marketing IMO.... double the slits, deeper the mount...

Oh nice, which model CFA is that?

It’s the Andromeda Gold Ti. It’s one of CFA’s limited runs from their multiverse promo thing they did last week. It seems to be basically the same as the original Andromeda Gold, but using the Ara titanium shell

This will look so epic plugged into your n6ii TI...can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
