Yes. $800. And they’re not worth that price, IMO.

Hiby R1 has been in and out of checkout with a 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter for padding.
Held off so far!
Keep telling myself that if I need it in a few weeks, it’ll be cheaper then used anyway.
So long as people don’t actually believe $160 is the real price 
JM21 looks like a neat device.
Edit: easy to forget this “DAP” I already have… sounds pretty good to me!
If iOS had an option for smaller volume steps… sorted!

Same on the Questyle M15 tbh. 
Hell, I might leave that until Chinese New Year’s, wait for more potential measurement-reviews on the 15i and 15C just to increase my confidence that I’m really choosing the brightest (neutral-est) one by going for the OG. And of course for these newer ones to grab more of the attention, including the M18i, and further drive the OG’s price down.
One audio thing I’m getting this month will be some new silicone/gel pads meant for Peltor earmuffs since I replaced my originals with memory foamies because of comfort and lost a ton of sound isolation. These weird looking ones I’ve found get many reviews that say they’re more comfortable but also more isolating than the originals. Also a second pair I hope can be adapted to my Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC, same reason.
Then I might get a balanced-to-RCA cable to be able to play through estats or speakers from the M15 or from whatever desktop-grade dongle with a BAL-out I end up getting later. Plenty of options on Ali, braided and nice looking, many of them sub $25 even before discounts. And maybe just maybe an inline USB power meter to be able to check how much my dongles are draining my phone and what rate all of my USB stuff is really charging at.

According to the admin in linsoul discord there will probably be another codes to get for sale during black friday/cyber monday. My guess the complete announcement would be after the 11.11 sale ended.

More wisdom from the reddits:
AFAIK that means first Monday of every month.
For what I’m still stalking, the M15 is slightly cheaper now for BF with coupons + coins, about $2 lower than the best i could see on 11.11, but this could just be within some “noise tolerance” for individual shop decisions, not something that reflects an overall Ali strategy. (Still gonna wait to see what the price will be on Chinese New Year’s.)

Good tip! Yeah, 11.11 felt pretty meh in general. Too much work to scrape together a few procent here and there. LEC seemed to be the best deal, in general.

I just picked up an M23 for £455 with an Ali Express Black Friday coupon.
Then I went back on and bought it a case, screen protectors, and an RS36s with more coupons.
Choice are indeed good as they also arrive faster than usual.
But 11.11 or other big sales tends to have more potential for bigger savings, just that you have to work for them.
