already recorded vid.
Any predictions for example Mystic 8 bracket?
Sets like mystic got a double bye week.
semi finals are a 3way to prevent certain sets from predictably running through the bracket

i wasnt aware of this. Thanks for the heads up! I thought they are fine since most reviews I saw of their products have been pretty good reviews. Tbh KZ considering their past I wouldnt really trust them too but at least they sell their stuff at cheap I guess 
Yep I think the Odyssey is interesting for me since most the reviews really enjoy it for the musicality. The Volume S is interesting because of the impedance switch. I saw people liking the low impedance mode but the graph of the high impedance might align with my preference more actually since I enjoy more engaging set than laidback sets.
Is summer sale that nice? compared to 11.11. Iām thinking abt coping the Volume S since my GF is from China and she can get it there for 60-70 bucks cheaper for me. Somehow canāt find Ziigaat at all in China, maybe they use different name.

Seems like some corporate espionage, makes me wonder how much of what we see as advancements are actually just trickle-down IP.

The deuce did for me atleast provide me with the kind of sound that I wanted and liked in the budget that was friendly to my pocket in a relatively difficult period for me.
I also feel you in regards of parting with things, I still keep around so much of my old stuff even when they are completely redundant, heck I kept around a completely bust up football boot that i wasnt even using for years, until I finally caved in and let it go a few months ago. I still feel i lost a piece of me there xD

Iād like someone to explain to the class where KZ gets their BA and where Shenzen brands doā¦and explain to the class the difference. Objective data. Put a price on the drivers and calculate the mark up.
See who is who and what is what.
I was seeing all the tier list vids and came up with speeed run tier lists. @VIVIDICI_111 saw the brilliance in that idea.
I saw the same when he did a bracket.
I can do this one.

Dawn got a bye? Man, thatās always been one of my grail sets to hear; I know it was beloved at the time but the price never dropped and thatās kept me from ever committing with all of the great stuff that came out after with far less costs. Iāve been keeping my eyes open for a used one to pop up somewhere but they never seem to when I checkā¦I also wonder how an updated Dawn would be with the newest Knowles/Sonions inside. I think that the Canpur CP32E was the closest I ever got, and while it was great, it was a different tuning so definitely not a 1:1.

Take a look at the sales listed here:
The ones marked in red are the big ones, nowadays on ali they are all pretty much the same. Years ago 11/11 used to actually be good/stand out from the rest of the sale dates but not anymore.
Dont have the info on bellsing. But LS/E-Audio (afaik a step up from Bellsing):
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=595844468372
26 RMB, I believe it is sold in pieces so lets assume that, price would be around 3,6 usd.
Now the knowles version is.
https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Knowles/CI-22955-000?qs=3unH%2FDqlvl8EWdn2%252BxaxZg%3D%3D
31 usd/piece.
Almost 10x difference and this is public prices and not any discounts with bulk purchase.

Thanks for this! But tbh lookig at aliexpress from Germany is super bad. I felt like none of the items are decently priced at all even last 11.11. Tea Pro was still 320$ ish even after code. Also lots of items not available, hence i tried to avoid Ali for iems.

Yeah ali for eu isnt really that good nowadays since the VAT is built in now.
sad. ill try the 2nd hand market in china instead then. they have plenty nice stuff there
Unrelated too, and Jayās seen this, but my school was discarding two 63" plasma displays, one in better condition than the other. They guy who is meant to dump these with an industrial recycler knows I can often refurbish or reuse things, so he let me know about it.
It ways around 100lb so I was worried Iād have to spend money on a heavy duty mount, or big old stand, the former would be sketchy straight into a cracked brick wall and the latter would set me back $70+ of imaginary money.
Well I had something that used to be my homemade wardrobe in my room. I took off the clothes hanger pole and pieces that used to join the uprights and circular sawed the front uprights to 3ish inches. The plasma screen rests on that shell (slanted a bit), and thereās a shelf lower down so I put a 45lb plate on that as ballast, and the laptop that I can stream to the screen from can go there too.
Voila! Forced me to rearrange the back of the garage (about time) and now I can watch games while I work out (probably wonāt most of the time, but when itās march madness this will be fantastic).

And there ya go
The reason they exist as bastard step kids wasnāt by need to keep the market demand saturated it was to drop the cost of doing business with Knowles, lower their overheads and increase their margins
The D62 is a $15 set.
Sounds like one too

Enjoyed the video bro. New Concept which is really interesting. Glad to see the Origin among the top ones(I am really eyeing that IEM to add to my collection).

Sniped it from Jay
He sniped Speedrun/Tier from me.
I think next level is 10 youtubers doing exact same thing with same sets (not my vid) but agreed sets.
Seeing how your chosen influencer differs from ohers on specific A/B of 2 dozen sets in 1 video is a rosetta stone for viewers.
Itās about here right now if we all use different IEM
