I know you’re ignoring 11.11 but tempted?
Already own and love them!
Finally had some decent time with the Ucotech ES-P2s this past weekend and I have to say, they created an absolute gangster of an earbud with this set. I will say that much like the ES-P1s, they probably aren’t for everyone, but they take the ES-P1’s strengths and presentation and really turned it up a few notches with better technical performance and truly holographic staging. They still have some treble roll off and the laid back feel from the ES-P1s though the top end doesn’t roll of as much or as quickly and the timbral accuracy and realism is improved which I didn’t think was necessarily possible since the ES-P1s were already elite in those categories. Overall, the ES-P2s are expensive, but unique and worth the cheddar if you’ve got it.
Welcome back mate! And thanks for sharing your thoughts on the ES-P2!
Thanks, bro!
@JAnonymous5150 good to see you back chap - did you ever get any time with the DB1 in the end?
I have them, but I have only gotten about half an hour with them. I’ll have a sesh with them today or tomorrow and give you my thoughts if that’s cool.
Thanks so much chap
Hanging again with Riku’s S3’s over the last few days and the vocal replay both male and female on this set is …Grace Jones or Joe Walsh they’ve got you covered
Amazing open flat head earphone
Welcome to HFGF would you care to elaborate?
100% - glad to see someone else also enjoying these - ended up buying a pair last year - though the retail pricing outside of the larger sales / value wise - is slightly excessive and obviously the Bell/Yincrow esque shape has it’s fit issues though personally these were an improvement over the older Ks bell stuff. It’s a nice implementation of a more mature Ks house tuning. I really wanted to know the difference with the DB1E but not sure if anyone has both… Not a lot of reviews out there on these. Going to pick up the new X10 next sale as looks like some evolution from LBBS - and uses an Onmyoji diaphragm - though Ks do enjoy marketing bullshit such as it taking them 3 years to make a modular cable when you can see they are just using the standard OEM style connectors you can buy from earphone DIY stores…

Welcome to HFGF and be sure to check out @Rikudou_Goku & his Rikubuds if you enjoyed the DB1 - he is really pushing what is possible with buds and plays to a wider range of tunings than any other DIYer/brand I have encountered.
Looks like my reply is flagged because I didn’t elaborate with any details about DB1
I find wearing it upsidedown over the ear is much more confident fit, I use the simple foam cups covers to keep skin and dust off
On the sound it’s very fast response for all freq range, but it’s not a bass-head kind
What is amazing compared to any iems - open sound, hear environment and can talk to people while playing music, much less phonics and I don’t hear myself when I’m eating as in IEMs I prefer not to eat anything
Good for Jim. Definitely beyond my price bracket

@Ohmboy thoughts?
Good to see my babies here Currently the right one, W08, are in my ears, playing Black Sabbath
Nice! Sorry I forgot to credit you! Did you get the cables from LREY?
No No the cables are all aftermarket cables. The left one is from an Indian manufacturer, the right one is ISN S8…but I have changed it to MB Cable Hybrid cable. Now the W08 sounds cleaner.
Anyone taking the plunge?
