I prefer the 7hz with a juicy amp, it gives out more details in the treble. I also use the btr3k balanced but it seems to smooth out the sound too much.
As my moondrop Aria died a few days ago, and it is my favorite/reference signature, and given the QC History of moondrop, this Léa getting out is freaking good news.

Boom. $25 well spent IMO
Nozzle is just a pinch wider. Same tips fit but for 02 driver it would not work as wanted in other stem (Mele) . Material is slightly different. Issue was a spay adhesive that gunked up filter on a batch of Mele. ixed.

Is that the Olina on the left? Glad the condensation issue is fixed!

Beautiful!
Like that it conforms to the more tradition nozzle shape, wider also allows more room for sound to pass through

Yup
@PopinTeddy
Yeah it had to be done to not waste the benefits of the 02 driver. 9 tries 3 shells and went with a wider bore and diff filter to keep the upper treble energy.
This is a better fitting 02 for $99 v.s. $270+

I’m in - that finish on the Olina looks mint! Any teasers on faceplate colours you might be able to share?

I’m waiting for final samples.
The 2nd pic shows the reflection of the corner because of polish finish but quality of image is meh. I will have em in hand soon

I feel sorry for Tanchjim – their lineup is being made redundant! First Hana 2021 and now the O2.

I doubt haha, there’s a reason why O2 is a single DD classic. I think just the same driver in a different shell alone will create a difference albeit the similarity in the FR (things that don’t show on FR, like timbre, stage, imaging). People who are looking for TOTL single DD under $500 will still look towards Oxygen as their priority.

What? it’s the same driver in a metal shell. If spending $278 dollars makes ya feel like it sounds better…enjoy

I didn’t 
Hence why I’m waiting for Olina so I could get a taste of the O2 driver. I based that statement on the reputation that O2 has out there. But on a reasonable note, I might wait for more reviews to come in before the purchase, simply because I have to many IEMs already. I hope the reviews will prove my predictions wrong 
I successfully recced at least 3 sets of Mele to friends and families, you know

Maybe - but depends on a number of factors of course. I’m willing to bet with the sprinkling of HBB tuning sauce it’ll be better for my library than the O2 (caveat being I haven’t heard the O2), but at less than half the price I’m happy to make the jump.
I’m hyped to see what 2022 brings us next in terms of multi-DD IEMs - ngl I so want the UM Project X to be something like a 3DT x HBB

Enjoy what you got.
Lotta my viewers cannot afford $250+
This is identical driver
Aluminum shell
Same tuning
Instead of tweaking a set , this is ripping the guts out of a well reviewed set because it is publicly for sale so I can watch folks bend over and snap their spine trying to come up with bullshit to deny the simple reality is some kinda unknown bullshit
I am going to enjoy this and so are a lotta folks I know

If I could…
Take the U12t drivers and put them in the same material shell and tune the same…
it would be fucking U12t’s
