If one is considering Tea, why not add a bit more and buy Variations? It’s also subbass focused like Tea and with a bit more energy on highs
Heheh 
shhhhhhhh

Daaaaaamn! Congratz!
Seems like you do grow money on balcony 
Sold my lands, this will most likely be the replacement. Pretty sure on Variations, but Resolution thoughts and comparitions will ditate the Mele x Oxygen battle.

Very nice, hope you’ll enjoy them!
It’s because of price. Some will think 300 is too much to spend on an IEM.
I agree with you, I hands down prefer the Variations to the Tea, but still, the Tea is one of, if not the best option at 300 bucks.
For the record, the Monarch and the Variations are extremely similar. The Monarch was my favorite IEM for a long time. I used to call the Tea a baby Monarch. When the Variations released, it stole the Monarch’s spot in my heart (mainly because of cost and its superior/smaller shell size). I still think the Monarch sounds slightly superior with better detail and crisper treble, but it’s hardly worth mentioning.
lol
I love that plan of yours!

You explained it better than I could, well done.
I’m doing some impressions/micro review on Mele. It surpassed everything, until I grabbed Teas and puff. I keep listening to Teas and wrote nothing.

I wouldn’t expect the Mele to dethrone the Tea but if a 50 dollar IEM can come even close, that’s saying a lot. If it sounds like the BL-03 with better bass definition and has better fit, it will have done its job in spades.

They sound 100-150usd range, imo. But waiting on your impressions.

Trust @Resolution 's recs man, he ended a 1 year search for my perfect IEM (i think i bought like 6 pairs before his rec of the Dunu Zen), he knows his IEMs! lol

Yeah, him and HBB were the ones that are also kinda in part as to why I’m considering the Oracle as well, aside from the Tea
Though in other news, the shop told me that the Teas are on their way, so hopefully they won’t get stuck like last time
