Nice to see NearLink is coming. Would love to see support for Qualcomm's Expanded Personal Area Network (XPAN) too

Sennheiser has just announced the IE200 It's got a braided cable now, although the earhooks look unchanged https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-US/p/ie-200/ https://www.0db.co.kr/REVIEW_0DB/2726916

Thanks, I appreciate your insights :D I'm lucky that I usually don't find my IE600's treble to be spicy

Gotcha now, sorry for the mixed up previously. BTW how you liking your u12t vs your IE600?

Sorry, I misunderstood you previously NZ$700 of the u12t is good deal I thought you meant NZ$700 of the IE600, which would be an crazy 60% discount Especially considering how new the IE600 is, I don't think I've ever seen the IE600 discounted at all in NZ, even on TradeMe the lowest I've seen is...

Oh, I see, just curious which IEM did you get at full price? The IE600? The IE600 for NZ$499 would also a crazy deal!

Wait so did you manage to get them to price match their black friday day deal today? Woah that's a huge discounted from its NZ$2,299 MSRP

E F9Pro or A FH1S Comfort is a major factor for me, so I prefer smaller IEMs which is why I went with the IE600

Oh finally some more closed-back headphones! Would love to see closed-back versions of the HE400se, Edition XS, Arya, HE1000, ...

The isolation is top tier, far better than I expected given they are vented For me the IE600 with the foam tips have slightly better isolation than my Etymotic ER2XRs with triple flange eartips Although I could only just get the third eartip in, so people who could get more insertion might...

Understandable doing an open-back headphone first since it's easier and they are more popular with audiophiles. But please eventually try make a closed-back headphone, there's far less good closed-back options out there, such as untapped market

@FiiO will the BTR7, BTR5, BTR3K and UTWS5 be updated with LC3 and Bluetooth LE Audio support?

Unfortunately, minidisc don't have a NZ store, so I'd have to pay an extra 15% GST if you go with them Addicted To Audio responded to my email, luckily they also have received stock. So I can buy from their NZ store which includes GST, so no extra charge Unfortunately, Addicted To Audio use...

Oh, is that from Addicted To Audio??

IMO 1x DD is a huge unique selling point for the IE600 since its so much smaller/more comfortable e.g. all those IEMs you listed are roughly ~3x larger than IE600 Although yea, the IE600 is not insane value like the ER2/S12/Timeless/Blessing2

I think the latest info is from their March live stream with TylersEclectic, skip to 1:20:00 The design and driver is done, it has a more Harman-like tuning But there's logistical issues, they need to catchup on orders before coming out with the sub-$1000 headphone, otherwise they won't be able...
