@PantsaBear 3 месяца назад

@@kellycny65Dont really see the problem with a great headphone being respected as a great headphone for 5-10 years, then it getting a price cut and still being great. Leads to just people enjoying what's out there for its quality, not for the FOMO If IEMs justified the constant "upgrades", then sure its more exciting. But as the other person said, much of the market is just the same or similar stuff done in a different color way under a new brand with a similar price point the past couple years (sometimes its the same exact people making similar IEMs across several brands)

The timbre of the SA6 sounds better than the Ultra to me, less upper treble spiciness while also have more mids in general. Also the Blessing 2/B2Dusk on sale still rocks right now, S8 treble is still one of the best, and Thieaudio Oracle is old (you get my point)

Has been fun over the years going on the iem journey. From my old stack of iem’s I still listen to my YBF’s (something about them I still love even with elevated mid bass), my shozy 1.4 (upgraded from 1.1) and the shouer tape pros. Great segment and would love to see more of them.

I have the main IEMs under $20 and none come close to the quality of the T3 plus in resolution and instrument separation, they can come close to timbre, but nothing else. Timmy may be right in genres like K-pop, but not in rock and roll and music with real instruments.

Regarding the S12, LETSHUOER kind of overshadows itself with their sub brand ARTTI T10. It's a similar driver, just in a plastic shell that looks different on the outside. I was kind of tempted to buy one since they're pretty cheap but I don't really need another planar IEM, but I heard good things about it basically just being an S12 Pro in a plastic shell.

There may be budget sets out there with better tuning than the BL03 (at least based on "objective" reasons / measurements), but there is something magical about that iem.. I still listen to it even though I have much better and more expensive sets nowadays... it is not nostalgia.. there is something very soothing about that sound.. at least to me..

T2 Plus has a special place in my heart. Great metal and whatever really IEM with a strange looking FR, but it sounds mostly normal. Timeless is also still the best planar for the price afaik. Aria/Titan S are maybe a bit dated for their price point. I don't care much for T3 Plus. Edit: Heyday you say. Need to try one. Timeless has amazing mids, but the bass is very rounded so if Heyday is even a bit punchier then it might be my thing.
