Welp. I can’t find one at that price, but the E1000 is cheaper at $40 USD with prime shipping too what? Same graph:
Are they the same??
Are they the same??
they should not be.
That is way too much for them…20 usd, I rather go with chifi.
We Canadians always getting the end of the stick 
Guess I’ll just buy and find out. Worse case scenario they get returned sigh.

If you do end up trying Final IEMs, I would encourage you to try the E3000. IMO, they are the gem of that line and I find them to be pretty enjoyable. Mine broke, but I’ll probably buy another pair. They’re just a good comfy pair that disappears in your ear and gives you a good laid back listen.

I quite like the graph I have to admit. The thoughts?

I had a feeling that the bass region would be reminiscent of the DMs … depending on price, could be interesting. Presentation is dope! But that means nothing if the sound doesn’t coincide with the price tag

Will need impressions and comparisons for sure. Diminishing returns is a real thing 
After long time with buds mostly in my ears (Mests from time to time) today I put Erasmus on during shopping and wow! Those are still having some special sauce (how to define this sweetness?) and feeling that no bud can give me. (shout-out to @ttorbic!). They were crowned to be my weekend ending choice for listening session and I really rarely choose something on top of Serratus or UM.
It is probably subbass extension - not that Erasmuses are any crazy in that category. Second guess is that because of that in-your-head experience they feel much more intimate, which may be a good thing depending on the mood and music.
Another palpable proof that buds and IEMs are not replaceable in any sense and you need to have both in your arsenal 
BTW - one month passed and some amazing music was released already in 2023
John Cale - Mercy album - amazing production. Like a mix of Darkside and Brian Eno
Tujiko Nuriko - Crepuscule 1 & 2 - wtf kind of atmosphere Spotify

I’m a huge E4000 fan though… either lucky both times or deaf both times 
It would be an easy rec especially at used prices if QC wasnt so scary

Ya’ll werent kidding about this bass! This is slam of the most epic proportions and is my new backup/budget set to the IE600. Im amazed at the SQ you get for $15. Bass is just intense but the mids and treble are still pretty clear and well extended all things considered. Nothing really sounds muffled or missing. Is it competing in overall SQ and technicalities with the IE600, hell no, but thats also not its intention. IE600 still wins in every other area and also in terms of bass quality but quantity there is no comparison. It definitely is giving me Maestro Mini vibes and while the MMs are a better set with a similar signature these are 30x cheaper so I’ll take that any day of the week! Shout out to @GooberBM and everyone who recced this set.
BTW if anyone wants to take the Vortex off my hands all you gotta do is cover shipping. While the Vortex are overall a better set, with these in the stable I don’t see myself using them anytime soon and I would much rather give them to someone who will.
EDIT: someone has claimed the Vortex!

Hey guys does anyone have experience with the Drop x JVC HAFDX1? There’s one going for $135 but dunno if it’s worth it or not. Original price was around $215 after tax.

My girl has the HA-FW01s that she got from Drop and she really likes them, FWIW.

I hope it’s a different DD the EJ one I find too fast not enough note weight.
Personally I had fit issues but sound wise they were solid for the $150ish I paid for mine

Random iem thought: I am really digging the Tanchjim Oxygen after a new balanced cable and comply tips. A little happiness for a Sunday night.
