I might be wrong but they were not on sale yet only demo'ing on various exhibitions.

I had the Gaia on radar since a while so thanks for your additional impressions. None idea how you can find out which tuning version you have or if there indeed two different version excist, AME homepage is only showing that the IEM is (or better was) available in 5 different color variants...

Interesting POV's about so called flagships, btw according to @Trance_Gott Gaia review there excisting two slightly different tuning variants of the Gaia.

+ an area where the RSV really is shining - that is his vocal presentation

Softears revealed these days the selling price for their new flagship called Enigma (2DD - 6BA - 4EST) that is CN¥23800 and Musicteck will prolly call around US$ 3800.

According to japanese e-earphone shop the 8SE is a limited edition earphone produced for the Japanese market as the SE series (Special Edition series) and basically a 8SS. See also the post

Knowing that there is more then 1 year in between, perhaps you can still say it in few words about Eclipse vs Alter Ego, thanks

Meanwhile a obviously official homepage went online showing that other products will released in the future and @kevingzw posted his review of the Basic on theheadphonelist

Nice update, especially that it fixing the issue while playing music and pushing the power button or receiving a screen message that the volume was fall of for a quite short period :thumbsup: By the way did you also made (slight) changes to the sound signature :thinking: (perhaps only sort of...

If your refering to isolation of the Alter Ego, here a answer with the help of google lens and translation High purity titanium alloy cavity The shell and panel are made of TC4 high-purity titanium alloy Unique fully open rear cavity design, natural sound field without affecting sound...

Slightly out of context Imho it's somehow complicated to say DD bass is always better then BA bass. Coming from the Vision Ears Phönix, a fabulous IEM that might lacking in rare situations the dynamic punch in the bass region - moving on to the Vision Ears 10 that can fix it but in these days I...

Welcome to the M9 family and another +1 yes the M9 needs power and no there is nothing wrong with your IEM and there is none dirt.

Thanks for the "Hands up" on these release, since Melodic Artification posted a picture of the Alter Ego last summer on their Weibo side they kept in silence. Eclipse was not really a budget release (US$1,390) :sweat_smile: but a very valuable package , superb build quality and some magic...

Alright, perhaps that's the reason they obviously selling in china a VE 10 bundle including a Han Sound Luna silver cable.

not the strict answer to your question, while qdc replied about 8 Pro vs VX The directions are different, the 8pro image is more solid and more monitoring-oriented, while the vx sound is softer, delicate and gentle, more artistic.

it was a great pleasure to deal with him again - fast and flawless handling, highly recommanded again

Most manufacturer associate dynamic driver had to be somewhat "energized shouty" while Softears went the opposite way. Turii has still enough bass, with the advantage of dynamic impact but then in particular not that much more slam like balanced armature driver. use a translation tool for that...

These days I was looking for information about the qdc 8 pro that crossing my way soon, and found those too... For all the Single DD Lovers there is a relatively new product available - Horizon Doom Basic. You can find some few chinese articles about it and also an english one - HK$12,800.00...

Might be frightened while obviously a couple of more folks liking that :L3000:

A very good question, since there not that much thoughts about the Black Star floating around here and in the net perhaps you need to jump in and tell us more about him :wink: BTW, was asking an online distributor about demo'ing the Black Star and his answer "in case of purchase intention no...

Sorry if it get's misunderstood, Flcforrestwei was the man behind FLC Technology and in none relation to NGAudio.

Not only by NGaudio also a problem for other asian brands like FLC Technology which released in 2015 the remarkable FLC8s, years later...

Bought mine almost 2 years ago there but right now (guess already last year) Amazon did'nt ship it to europe anymore. My 2cent about the M9 :sweat_smile: a nice IEM that is light and comfy too with excellent BA bass (quality) and none really weaknesses overall. That being said it's perhaps...

Eartips that coming with the 1000xm5 are the same like the xm4 and are those Sony EP-NI1000, right ?

Purchased the Turii OG on HiFiGo 2 years ago and asked them in early 2023 about the turboo silver cable and they added it to their sortiment. That Liquid Links cable might indeed a great opportunity while none intention right now...
