Now that See Audio has launched in the international markets, I think it’s time to start a dedicated thread for the models currently available. So far, it appears that there are 3 models, the Yume/Anou, the Neo, and the Kaguya.

My thought on Neo and Kaguya last year, Kaguya will become obselete since they plan to change the tuning but Neo still relevant
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-discovery-thread.586909/post-16001828

and.... actually I bought Yume for myself

Yume definitely one of the best challenger of best value title for the price range, pleasant sound and doing good in every sector, maybe it lack resolution compared to higher tier, but the tuning is definitely spot on.


See Audio definitely my top 5 chi-fi brand right now, beside QDC / Sorry Audio / Nature Sound / Penon

The Yume has piqued my interest. Is it well-vented? I am quite sensitive to back pressure from unvented IEMs.

Drop has the Yume up for $169.

That's the price at Linsoul.. Why wait a month and a half

$20.28 in Drop rewards points.

Ah.. I don't know anything about those.. my mistake
I've been so tempted to buy these.. Just a little concerned they might be a bit "shouty" based on the graph but the idea of a livelier FH3 appeals to me..

pretty sure Tanchjim Oxygen is shoutier than Yume
The reason why i sold my Oxygen because it's shouty and lack of punch (bass is good but has almost no punch energy)

while Yume solved both the problem which i decide to buy it

so if you find oxygen is fine then Yume is even more polite upper-midrange compared to Oxygen

The Yume has piqued my interest. Is it well-vented? I am quite sensitive to back pressure from unvented IEMs.

it's well-vented IMO... but i never has the same problem tho..

Oh, no mistake. It’s somewhat hidden. It was only after they previously listed other gear at usual prices that I realized that the ”deal” is regarding Drop points. It can be a pretty good deal IF you’re a regular Drop customer.

I use Drop occasionally so the Drop points might be worthwhile. How quick is Linsoul with delivering to the USA?

Interesting

Thanks to the reviews here and the impressions by @crinacle and the graphs like @IEMusic posted from Crin's site, I just placed an order for the Yume.

The Yume is, as I see it, the tonal benchmark for the sub-$200 price bracket.

• May possibly join the Etymotic ER2 as an “anomaly” in the price range.
