Miss Universe question.
Which of these vocal/mid centric sets you enjoyed the most and what made you enjoy them best than the others?

Thatās an absolutely fabulous question - before I answer it, Iād like to get over the honeymoon phase with the Teas and the P1 Maxā¦ Iām still on the honeymoon with the P1 Max and I just happened to bump into the Teas on the island and now we have a little scrap going on 
Iāll probably do a huge comparison thing once the dust has settled, is that fair?

Hmmm I wonder who that person is 
Fantastic photo brother - Iād pay you to take some photos for me, no joke. And you hit it right on the mark with how the Teas portray vocals - theyāre absolutely stunning. As you said, the resonance makes it feel like theyāre coming out directly from within you, kinda like the RSV, but not as forward. This write-up is itching me more and more towards rebuying a Tea

Writing down my thoughts on the 10th
I will actually write a written review fist and shoot video this weekend.
Spoiler OMG , right now on my playlist going through grunge & male vocals to listen to any bass bleed.
The 10th plays everything I throw at it with a balanced excitement I havenāt heard in a while.
Anyone questions if two 6mm drivers can do sub bass is unquestionably YES.
Itās actually really hard to do this review as I am supposed to be criticality listening to the 10th but instead just get lost in the fun playback and forget to take notes and have to go back again and again LOL.
I donāt mind give me more the 10th is like a Audio Vampire keeps sucking you Into the music and pumps you full of endorphins!
Playlist I use for testing:
Listen to the playlist Test Tracks by [email protected] on Qobuz Open Qobuz
That XINHS cable rocks the 10th highly recommended.

Man you just made my night! No joke at all Iām dead serious. I really get a tremendous amount of joy seeing people vibe with sets so much that came from my collection. I know it sounds weird to say but, I do this for a lot of things, I feel thereās some deep connection. Like a memory or energy of some sort thatās past. Most likely we do it to ourselves with our thoughts and emotions either way itās legit in some sort to me.
Itās the same way with my cast iron that was past down through generations in our family. I think if all the meals, family time, camping trips and memories the food has served up on the patina over the years. Like itās gathered up in it and absorbed into the meals I cook and more is added to it. Same for my old razors. I have one that saw time in the trenches of WWI, was past to my Grandpa who then taught me uncle how to shave on it. When he passed my Grandma gave it to me. Damnit it just brings a whole other level to shaving we donāt normally think of. My mind just goes into this zen state when I shave and itās so peaceful. Sorry for the completely of track stories the brews and hookah are running deep tonight while I have the UP jamming warm lush R&B.

Itās definitely hits with the sub bass. My thoughts are itās a punchier tighter response though compared to larger drivers. Not in a bad or better way for me just different and I enjoy as a change up. Funny enough the 10th Anniversary is the first V-Shape IEM that has actually been enjoyable to my ears. No signs of harshness or fatigue at mid levels and at high volumes I can get about an hour of listening. I guess my only gripe is for me itās only suited to metal, modern upbeat pop, hip-hop and EDM. Country and reggae make the biggest makeup of my library and for me donāt jive with it. Either way Iāll be holding onto the set for awhile. It really gets me in air guitar mood and moving around dancing.

What would be everyoneās recommendation ??? - pricing pretty much c.ā¬100 (Ā±ā¬10) mark if your a value buyer.

That may be true, but at least the build quality and looks are up with it too 
I had the Yanyin Alladin and theyāre amazing. Excellent mids and decent technicalities. Vocals are to die for - in my subjective opinion of course.

I think weāll find out who that person is sooner rather than later, or at least I hope
Oh man, youāre too kind. Iām actually not 100% pleased with the photo, it could of been better, if Iām honest. I just wanted to listen to them more so I didnāt take as much time as I could of. If you ever need photos, Iāll do it for free, Jay. I donāt charge friends for photos - PM me if youāre ever really interested and weāll figure something out. But the more I listen to the Teas, the more I get that special sauce out of them. I really just love everything about them, besides maybe the bass - if it just had a few dB more, maybe like 3-4 below 300hz, theyād be chefs kiss damn near perfect for my library - but thatās where the Pandas come in Iām not saying buy another pair of Teas, dude, but maybe you should buy another pair of Teas
Mags what an amazing story - thank you so much for sharing that with me. Seriously that is pretty damn amazing. I donāt have much passed down to me unfortunately, outside of some Led Zep cassettes and CDs my father gave to me. Heās only 55 so he still listens to a majority of his CD collection at home. I fully plan on passing a bunch of things down to my son when heās of age tho - heās already claimed my Monarchs so those will never be sold I feel the same way. It may not be something as utilitarian as a razor or an old watch or something like that, but I feel like if my son grows up to enjoy music and Audio as I do, then heāll cherish what ever IEM I pass down to him and so on and so forth. I appreciate you, brother. Youāre 3-3 as far as Iām concerned. Every set Iāve gotten from your hands has been special to me, so thank you so much

Which reminds me - I know we have a lot of reviewers and people who enjoy writing articles of IEMs and headphones in this community and this community as a whole has been very good to me. I donāt have many sets to give away as I just gave 4 or 5 IEMs away recently so Iād like to offer my assistance to anyone on here whoās interested.
Obviously I enjoy taking photos and editing them - if any of you need photos/editing of said photos for their reviews, Iāll be happy to help at no charge.
Just PM me if youāre interested and we can work out the logistics. Itāll be my way of paying it forward, even though itās a little unorthodox

Honestly, I was thinking about Aladdin because itās a set Iād never heard before and 1+3 hybrids donāt grow on trees. Then I was like let me look at a 1+3 thatās been hot
If I was you Iād pick Yume or EPZ and then get Hexa down the road lol

My actual interest in the Aladdin was to be able to compare and see if it was a baby OG Teaā¦
People sort of label the Hexa a baby Dusk (personally I find that a stretch but I also completely get it)
But looking at how similar the Hexa and Aladdin are on the graph was a bit of a surprise

EPZ K5 might be the curiosity winner in any event as itās somewhat unknown - apart from Akrosās high praise I literally cannot find anything else on itā¦
