Bad Guy Good Audio Rankings and stuff (under construction) (Part 1)

Very weird, i could order with free shipping to Slovenia

Yeah I could also get it for free (without taxes) in Portugalā€¦ but waiting is over-rated :santa:

Free shipping used to be available to Macedonia, but for some reason they changed to only express for some countries. I see from neighbouring countries, Montenegro is also included in express only list. Doesnt make sense, as most chinese companies have no problem shipping with normal post here.

Ordered one for my sister in the UK, now to order mine!
Iā€™m not at a place where I need to try new IEMs (I am head over heels for the YanYin Aladdins, I will have to make a thread (or join one if Iā€™m beat to it) once I have a detailed review ready instead of gushing vague praise).
But I said Iā€™d order a pair of these and I will. Iā€™m sure I wonā€™t regret it, and if financial disaster strikes I expect the Mele to be perfectly good enough that I can sell of the Aladdins but keep these guilt free, and still get plenty of satisfaction from my music. Like I said, if these sound anything like expected I will recommend them constantly to friends who are getting curious about their audio, family looking for upgrades, etc. I have very high expectations, and anyone remotely curious in upgrading their audio significantly can spend $50. There isnā€™t anything else for $50 on the market right now which can compete with a well rounded $180 IEM (Hana 2021). And itā€™s a tuning thatā€™s pleasing to most ears.

I got one as well, with the cable. I was planning on skipping as I really donā€™t need more than what I have (Oracle, Aria) but :man_shrugging:. Waiting for the LBBS earbuds to go on sale on the 23rd and Iā€™m all set. :smile:

Yeah same thing here for Brazil, US$30 only the shipping fee. I will have to wait to be available on Aliexpress since I can get free shipping from there.

@hawaiibadboy Good luck keeping your PayPal within ā€œcleanā€ limits now!

I know that I just said I was saving for MEST and getting out of the gear pursuit, but obviously I gotta try the Mele.

Ordered.

Yeah, Iā€™m very very tempted by that Aladdins. Iā€™ve came to a conclusion that my library is shifting alot to midcentric by the day, and Aladdins are a flirt for it. But since I own the Teas and I wanna get Mest, Iā€™m gonna probably pass on it :confused:

Exactly, same. Will make me less sad if I end up selling my Lands and my Teas wonā€™t feel alone.

God Bess you sir for the direct link and saving me from having to find it on Linsoulā€™s siteā€¦ not all heroes wear capes.

Got mine ordered.

I canā€™t flaw the Teas, I canā€™t verbalize what I didnā€™t quite like about them, if you love them youā€™d probably not need to move to the Aladdins from them, and run the risk of not liking them as much as our tastes differ a little. I think it would make sense for you to pass on them, and I say that as someone who thinks theyā€™re the beeā€™s knees.

I would absolutely love to try the MEST some day, not sure thatā€™ll ever happen though.

I just got the funny thought of some person working in Linsoulā€™s shipping department wondering why there is a rush of orders for an unknown $50 IEM that they didnā€™t do their usually release promotion event for.

Edit
Also guess I am going to need to order another cable.

They did some, and thereā€™s a giveaway!

You can get a bundle, Iā€™m done with cables for some time, I think (hope)

The jelly cable in the bundle didnā€™t interest me. Might go for another xinhs cable.

I donā€™t think Teas are perfect, no IEM is (so far, I think). But I see them as a gentle flower whom I need to white-knight for! I love them and they mark the start of my journey (even they didnt were my first set). I might sell my Lands and FH3 to get Mest, but Teas are staying.

With that said, Aladdins got me curious, not gonna lie.
