I believe you. I guess there are no perfect options.
Hypothetical person who refuses to buy memory cards made in China: “Hi, I have no memory cards”
Nah, these links are fine.
Having said that, occasionally I get an error like this, too - even though the hyperlinks are valid.
AliExpress is just buggy as hell.

Review here: LETSHUOER S15 - Reviews | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org
This is the first time I have spent this much time with a planar iem. As far as my understanding of planars goes, they are a hit or miss in terms of timbre. However, with the S15, both timbre and tonality reach great levels. It is one of the good releases from the year 2023. Throughout my time with these iems I never had any complaints, and I enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed my other sets.
But the real question is: Is the price tag justified? I think that’s a big question to answer. It’s evident that Letshuoer has dedicated significant effort to deliver a comprehensive package with these in-ear monitors. The appealing aesthetics, solid build, generous accessories, and quality cable all underscore the team’s commitment to providing a satisfying user experience. While all these elements are justifiable, comparing the S15’s price point with other planars and some good non-planar iems reveals a potential disparity. Something like the Hidizs MP145 at 130 USD is a lot more justified when we talk about the price-to-performance ratio. In terms of sound quality, the S15 excels, but the pricing might be perceived as less justified when considering alternatives.
That being said, these iems are one of my favourites from the last year, and I am sure most of the people who have tried them would surely recommend them. They are a lot more than just impressive. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but their sound is also beautiful. Who knows, Letshuoer might introduce attractive discounts, making this great experience more accessible to a broader audience.
I would rate these iems a 4/5

I was lucky enough to get to try the Subtonic Storm thanks to @Sonofholhorse ! Here is a link to my thoughts for anyone interested

Do note that you should look for them in the “choice deals”
I believe this link should lead there.
Just that the products shown differ from user to user so you might need to dig deeper to find sd cards at the cheap prices I bought them at.

Well I’m an idiot and just noticed that my IEM match was on. I must have accidentally clicked it at some point. I should have just checked when you mentioned that 
With it off my listening volume went from ~68 to ~59 so a decent drop

“Natural, Organic, Lively Sound Tuning.” 
Hopefully this time they didn’t warm it up too much and run away from their own house sound. Otherwise, it will just be a warm soup of sounds !!!

I spent couple of days with TinHiFi Mars. TinHiFi has upped the ante with this one.
Tinhifi T5S. What a lovely tuning. The bass hits differently. It’s not your typical dd bass. It has a different impact. It’s a thick bass and enveloping. It’s a very musical set. The mids have full body and nice tonal weight. Those strings have enough weight in the notes to my liking. It’s hard to find flaws. Not quite airy but enough energy in the treble region. For the price it’s too good.
And it scales with power too. Give it a good source and power it sounds even more massive. What a beautiful iem, loveable from the beginning.
The build is quite good and solid. It’s built in metal shell. The cable though good is 3.5mm termination.
I will share more when I have spent enough time. And will share better photo too.

HYPE2 does not lack so much mid-bass, yes, the emphasis is on the sub-bass. The tuning of most DUNU IEMs is warm, very warm. Some folks try to make it neutral, but it’s not. DUNU IEMs are good, but not true to sound.

It’s personal preference of course, but I love a bass tuck at around 200hz. I don’t like how the mids sound when it goes to 400hz+

…so, either give into the fomo and jump on the first wave of that new hawtness, or wait {x}? months so that you don’t get burned (but also never get the hawtness). This is not a good calculus for the hobby.

I haven’t tried the MP145 but the revision looks good to me 
its not a matter if its better or not, but that they just change their tuning and pretty much invalidates all previous reviews on it along with making it an uncertainty on what you are going to receive and also if they are doing it with the rest of their iems…This combined with the already iffy QC that most chifi have…

They are absolutely going to lose sale(s) to me, and not just from Hidisz - it’s getting harder to feel that I’m not just throwing cash down a rat hole… I’m not really interested in using my bank account to find out which manufacturers are trustworthy, so my decision to sideline it for a while is just reinforced. Time to get more serious about modding/EQing what I already have.
