We finished it last night too, and I was almost shocked that I hadnât seen memes on this already.
I have played most of the games, but my wife hadnât played any of them ( she doesnât like the mid-century american design ) and she enjoyed the show ( she is a sci-fi fan ).

Such a stellar series. My wife was the same. Just has seen me play all the games and then said something to her about watching it. Sheâs more of a Bravo tv gal. We watched the first episode and she enjoyed it. Now she canât wait for the second season!

I was in total agreement with him. I watched the video last night. Crinâs preferred tuning is too bright for my tastes, and my library.

I just bought the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 for the office. Honestly not bad. It has multipoint BT, bass is nice and punchy, vocals are forward and treble is there.
ANC is okay for background noise but not great at reducing voices and it introduces some white noise.
Pretty happy so far.

Iâve listening for a few days at work. Iâll have to do some more critical listening but Iâve been very busy these past few weeks.
AĂźR Audio Aehta arrived last day, thought I share some here also.
Havenât had that much time yet, but I can say I really like this. No need to brain adjustment, liked it from first track. Biggest surprise to me is how clear and resolving it is, quite certain this is the most transparent and technical model from AĂźR.
I know some dont like switches, but they work so well here. Being able to go from a more neutral bright tuning 011 to a bassy L shaped signature 100 is awesome, makes it very versatile.
Also photos with size comparison against some other AĂźR models: Aehta - Ascension - Aurora - Alita

Vision Ears VE7/VE8
Damn you VE8, why are you that pretty 
I needed to know if any of these two can compete with Cadenza 12âŚfor me they can not and are missing that wow factor that you would expect for that priceđ¤
Last contender on my list for now is Custom Art Fibae7u
edit:
Switched to BTR15 now after listening to R6III and Zen Dac v2 and both seem to react very positive to BTR15´s transparency and become much more lively/ear tickling

Creative Aurvana Ace 2 TWS first impressions:
My first thought will be about the bass. The good: emphasis on sub-bass provides deep reaching rumbly sub-bass. This is very satisfying and great for hip-hop and pop. The bad: the tuning lacks mid bass which makes music sound flat and lacking bass impact. Bass guitar in rock music is pretty much non existent not even in impact but in SPL as well. In classical music, cellos were difficult to hear even.
The vocals are pretty neutral, maybe recessed a little bit but it didnât bother me or sounded wrong. Itâs just not a vocal forward sounding IEM but it may sound vocal forward when the music doesnât have sub-bass.
The upper treble is safe but not dark and I didnât experience any sibilance. On graph, the upper treble look rolled-off but it doesnât sound like that to my ears. Cymbals are nicely presented without being overly sharp or splashy. I believe that the xMems tweeter allows for this tuning; to offer good sub-bass separation without affecting the upper treble negatively (is there a crossover in there?)
Overall, the Aurvana Ace 2 is not as balanced as other IEMs like the Cadenza 4 but it shines by the strong sub-bass and upper treble presence (U shape?) that works really well for hip-hop, pop and some electro genres and minimal vocal music; or any that doesnât require mid bass.

In fact, I just heard for the first time a very deep sub-bass line in the song âWavejumperâ by Drexcyia. Very cool

Yes I did, haha!
For whatever it´s woth here are some impressions after a few minutes.
Black module + vocal switch down = bassy, too muffled, vocals not clear/prominent enough
Black module + vocal switch up = much better balanced, sometimes too much (something in between the switch configuration would be perfect imho)
Blue module + vocal switch down = less bassy, sweet spot so far, best balance
Blue module + vocal switch up = too shouty
I know these are some very quick impressions, but do you need much more to get the main idea? In most cases I don´t think so, especially when what the switch is doing is so so evident and in your face.
I like the vocal switch and that you can use it while listening but its just too much, better call it shoutswitch 
Blue module + vocal switch down could use a tiny bit more bass for my taste so ideally a module which is between the black and the blue one.
