My exact use of HeadFi is this :sweat_smile: you’re so right, Jay. I also like to peruse around the Discovery thread for obscure things and especially the earbud thread - I found that those guys are actually a good group of dudes and actually insightful and welcoming. The same can’t be said for the rest of the site tho.

Sorry to derail the current topic but I need to say a public thank you to my dear friends that I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know over the last few months.

This site has been something of a safe haven for me for a little over a year now and I’ve gotten the chance to speak to and connect with a few very special guys.

@JAnonymous5150 @GooberBM @Sonofholhorse @VIVIDICI_111 @cal_lando @rattlingblanketwoman and last but not least, the man who put this particular thing together, @MMag05

Absolutely top notch gentleman. They’ve all been amazing friends to me and to show how much love they have in their hearts, they surprised me with a very special gift for my birthday that passed about a week ago. Behold:

My very own pair of brand new giant pandas. Absolutely unbelievable surprise this is and I couldn’t be more touched and grateful. Thank you so so very much, guys. You all have made a huge impact on me this year - the power of such a strong community and the camaraderie at display here has blown me away. I’ll take good care of these and cherish them for many many years.
Thank you guys :handshake::white_heart:

Happy belate birthday brother! Hope you had a blast. Wishing you and your family the best!

Congratulations on the panda. Me and my friends buy eachother audio gifts on birthdays. It’s usually a box full of KZs or other horrible stuff that we can find. Sometimes it backfires :joy:

Thank you, brother! My wife and son put together a special small party for me on the day of my birthday and even did a little surprise when I walked in the door from work. It was very special to say the least and then this just, I wasn’t expecting it in the slightest so it was a genuine surprise.

LOL you and your friends are sick! The new KBear/Tri whichever company it is Pecker IEM should be a silly gag gift for this years fiascos :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The KZ logo: “When drivers does not matter, but when the quantity of IEMs produced is of great importance”

Yeah. I usually gift Kzs and tribrids :joy:

It’s always the intention and not the quality. Last xmas I gave gear worth of 3-4k away to random people on the internet and spent 600usd in post office fees :joy:

But nothing beats getting a 16 tuning combination KZ and watch frustration rise. Sometimes it doesnt. I found CCA CRA this way, for instance.

You’re welcome fellow doge loving brother! :smile:
I miss Green Doge, the Mr. Blue Doge video will never cease to put a smile on my face and laughter following after :joy:
Does Ugandan Knuckles tickle close to that soft spot too for you? My girlfriend fell in love with his cuteness :grin:

If you go through 10 KZ/CCAs, you’ll hit a winner or two, just by accident. That’s fair

Happy Belated Birthday to a gentleman and scholar! Enjoy the Pandas and maybe give us some sneak peaks of this beauty of the boxed if you have time.

The Letshuoer stuff isn’t available here so I can’t say anything about them or how they compare against the UP. Some of the similar price range IEMs that I compared the UP against were IE 600, Advar, Excalibur & Mammoth.

Some of the driver qualities cannot be replicated by EQing an IEM to a different IEM target so I don’t think it would make it completely redundant.

maybe they are serious now?


That build quality looks damn goooooood.
