PS: was about time they use frequencies tubes:
''Gold-plated brass sound tube: to maximize the density of the sound focus to reduce the burr caused by the sound pressure output and other issues, gold-plated brass sound tube designed specifically for Balanced Armature tuning tube, Balanced Armature and Dynamic sound separately output, without disturbing each other, with the professional acoustic damping, weakening the burrs and gear teeth Balanced Armature, and keep Balanced Armature strong resolution and details, restore the real sound.''

Careful, careful! Half-baked $55 earphones have added up quite fast on my credit card.

Macaw GT600s can be found as low as 43eu. How does that stack up against the Z5000 or T2, or even IT01, Fiio F9 and co?
I'm tempted.... :'(

edit: discontinued on gearbest. Was too good to be true!

First impressions please????
Fascinating sound signature. Its very warm, but strangely detailed. It almost contradicts itself in some ways.

Almost unusable with silicone tips, sadly. Is it possible for driver flex to be much worse on one side for some reason? On my pair the left side is very bad.

Foam tips fix the driver flex issue, however.

My T2 finally arrived. Very nice neutral sound. Isolation is not so great and had to use cp155 to get a good fit. Here are some picturesIMG_20180210_113925.jpgIMG_20180210_114222.jpg

Oh man these new cables looks better. I am having a hard time in doubt if a save more money for a T2, or Jump in a MDK ASE, or these new yersen FEN 2000.

For all Canadians: here a great sale deal from Focal at $69 CAD ($20 off; squeaky blue only). The Focal Spark! From the manufacturers of the $4000 Focal Utopia. Probably made in China and therefore qualifying for this thread.

https://headphonebar.com/collections/earphones/products/focal-spark?variant=667700494356

This Vancouver business is a great one: they once replaced my audioquest dragonfly without asking.

Disadvantage of French quality earphones shipped from Canada, though:
1. You don't have this daily expectation when waiting for three to five months. They come within three days, usually. Sucks!
2. Sadly, no customs involved to perform daylight robbery on you.
3. You may have to put up with a balanced sound.
4. The tips may actually fit your ears.
5. The cable does not turn nicely green.
6. You won't have fun with performing surgery on them to get a decent sound.


I just submitted my order.

Anyone know a good iem for sport? Not looking for bluetooth
The Tennmak Pro is really good for sports, good fit, isolation and the signature is great for upbeat songs, unless u listen to electro instead of thumping songs when working out

I am expecting less bass from this but what I'm listening to is.. bit more impact from it. I changed my tips and wore it straight down. I am thinking it could get more depth in insertion.

MEE made an M6 sport model that wasn't bad sounding and was sub-$20. I think they are still in production - may have graduated to the m7 sport at some point.
Meelec M6 is pretty horrible sound imo, u dont get the bang for buck when compare to chifi. IIRC the memory cable helps to alleviate cable noise but one thing bad is that they are fixed, and they are very thin sounding. Guess its due to them being single driver and the small form factor.

I think the QKZ W1 is worth a bet for him though, there are pretty good reviews amd over the ears is generally better for sports

TY HI-Z G3 PRO is out, 100$ but currently on sale for 85$. Not a single thing in the whole spec sheet stands out, just a regular micro DD with lots of vents on the back. Not really sure how to feel given the similarity to regular G3, sound will have to be a selling point for these otherwise...

Well tinaudio to is the most mature sounding OEM I have listened too..

Bass and mids are way mature than any IEM under 200$

Better than ath e40 and e50..... Treble only needs the refinement.


And yah bigger bass driver also with higher magnetic flux on both driver. That's what is needed

Otherwise, hands down best IEM
