What's the difference of the Dioko to the ter. Shuoer S12 meant to be?

Different driver, somewhat different tuning. We won't know until we've heard it with our own ears if it's substantially different or an improvement. I'll be treating it as a taster on the technical front given that these might be considered gen 2 of 7hz driver.

Given its cheaper price point it will be interesting to see if the Dioko is a budget version of their first attempt with poorer performance or a new standard at the price.

What a time to be alive 💃
You don't want to be that guy who buys a Timeless today for $220.00 and then discovers this thread tomorrow.

It always a matter of time. As predicted, year of the planars. I expect market to be satured by the end of the year so I can go back to reviewing DDs master race 😬

Wish there was a next gen of tribids with new tech and cheaper price. Or better priced full BA sets that doesnt sound like a garbage bag everytime a cymbal hits.

It is time to stock up on 2 pin cables in anticipation for the release of the Dioko.
I was wondering why I had bought so many. Guess I now know!

7Hz has got you too. Although that is not the final name, not sure of the new name yet.

Wow! really promising for me, just if the 200-300hz a bit dial down flatter they will be better. But they are great, the pinna that shifted to 4khz (like Z1R) instead of my sensitivity 3khz but that too much i guess, and valley of lower trebles that not too much like other chifi ( I call it valley of trap, lot of chifi maker try to smoothen trebles but too much at these region) the 6khz should be around 4-6db from neutral, or else below that lot of treble information missing (some will not hear as they will be interpreted as treble safe, but actually lot of details that gone).
Hopefully the technicalities are great on this!
What are these things? $50.00? The technicalities are gonna be in line with something that sells in the budget range. We're still waiting for the "budget kings...the killers" 12 to 15 years into this hobby, and I doubt a Moondrop budget is going to ascend, but i'm sure the technicalities will be pretty good for the price, possibly "punching higher than it's list price"?

Buying any IEM at any given time is a gamble. You never know if the follow up or if another company is gonna try and copy or improve at a cheaper price point. I've never held off on buying something I wanted to hear because there's the chance there might be a PRO version or a cheaper alternative later down the line. You just buy it, enjoy it, and if there's a cheaper improvement later, or a upgraded version for the same cost as your original, then you make the decision of purchasing that one or selling the original? It's always a gamble in this hobby.

$99.00 for an improved version of the Timeless?! What?! ?!?!?!?!? Sign me up and then some!
Why do you think it is a improved version of the Timeless? It can be worse...
