Yes, he’s a doofus 
I cannot speak for Chang on that, but I can tell you he has been very busy with other projects. I am afraid the earbud will be slower, and isn’t a priority at the moment.

Who is Chang?
He’s Mr Nightjar Acoustics and he had a pair of his flathead prototypes #workstillinprogress at last years London CanJam, he also very kindly let me listen to his personal set of Cypherus Audio Black Dragon Susvaras. Super nice dude too…
Bud…
and Chang on the right…

Hi, I’m having trouble deciding between a used Ucotech ES-P2 at $175 USD or a new FiiO FF3S at $60 USD. Anyone have an opinion? Thanks.

Hmm I don’t think many people have had tried the ES-P2. Based on the P1 and P3 reviews, I’d imagine the P2 leans bright, whereas the FF3S will be warmer. Consider asking your question here:
It’s much more active than here! Or join the Flathead Sanctuary discord:

If you’re into a warm, relaxed sound with great comfort and modern features, I’d go with the FiiO FF3S, it’s lightweight build and a solid everyday pick.

If thats the case then my Rikubuds Gen 3 models will work.

OK, I am not an Earbud Lover / Flathead. Previously used NiceHCK EBX25Ti, and although it was good, if the seal is good and there is no outside noise. If any two of them get violated, the sound becomes a lot messier. ( The case is pretty nice, although not that pocketable )
Now, with Polar Night coming at half the price tag, AFUL did something quite interesting.
- The bass is surprisingly there, and it hits you at high volumes
- The midrange is very well tuned
- The treble is on the sweeter side
- Tech is not as good as the EBX25Ti, as well as the resolution ,but the coherency in the stage is nice
- Overall tuning of the IEM is very basic yet rare; it sounds sweet & full-sounding.
Now, there are some things that I would like to mention that didn’t impress me that much
- There is a bit of a safeness around the treble (6Khz-7Khz) that makes the bud sweet sounding, but also takes away from the up-front nature of the Details that I like
- The fit wasn’t a problem, but the notch is quite shallow, so it takes extra effort to put them into the ear canals. After fitting it in, they were pretty secure.
- I would’ve liked to see some extra equipment’s like Rubber Bands / hooks & more filters. Although it is understandable that they put all of their money on the buds.
There are three simple reasons why I was quite impressed by this Earbud. Firstly - Very good tuning choice, Secondly - The authority & command on the bass, Third - The looks, they are so pretty.
But, there are things that I would like to change too. Firstly, the nozzle height is for a better initial fit. Secondly, the MMCX connection is not something I love personally (Slippery to detach).
I have yet to try out different accessories and source rolling. All of the initial impressions are done with the Chord Mojo 2.
