Initial impression?

Good thing I’m going to be tapped out by Prime Day purchases :man_facepalming:t5:

Harder to drive than the 32ohm impedance would suggest :smiley:

Wonder what the sensitivity on it would be then

Hmm, for me they are just tad more difficult to drive than a typical high sensitivity IEM like MEST.
50/100 single ended on Hiby R3 Saber low gain gets me plenty of volume (like my normal 70-75dB SPL).

Tried mine on Mid-Gain on my DX312 that was ok but was expecting not to have to crank so hard on the pot…so now on High-Gain less cranking lol.

Really? I checked the offerings but didn’t find anything special here on German Amazon, maybe US deals are better.

I think the US get the cream of the crop when it comes to Amazon deals here across the pond meager pickings mostly :cry:…saying that I did get a new 4k Max fire stick for the barge @ £37.99 but audio gear there was practically zilch :rage:

Yes the US deals are better, but I’m not getting just audio stuff either.

Can you try signing into US Amazon and shipping international, or are the fees way too much to consider (like buying from Amazon JP usually is)?

My Prime Germany account is not even qualified for US prime deals. Shipping and VAT would kill it anyway.

What would be best choice earbud right now in 10-15$ price range guys? I mainly use IEMs, so I just want a good cheap earbud (an all-rounder) to have different flavor sometimes.

Me personally.

FAAEAL Iris 2.0 - V Shape, super fun Bud
Yincrow X6 - balanced, slightly laid back
NiceHCK EB2S Pro - If you’d like to stretch the budget a bit. I’ve heard overall great things
