Yeah like I said I’m going to give it some more time, but right now I’m just not finding the magic like the Blon has for me. I need to spend some more time listening to see if I can pinpoint and figure out what it is.
I don’t care about it one bit. Just wanted to try a KZ and now I have. 
Having fun doing some electrical modding on the Darkvoice tonight. Haven’t soldered anything in years. Love this. I should have become a welder or something. lol

Got in the smabat m2 pro today. Haven’t had a lot of time with them but they sound good so far and I think they’re very comfortable.
I was greeted by a piec eof rubber when I opened one of the units too look inside, which is unfortunate but doesn’t seem critical
@Rikudou_Goku you didn’t have any other tuning module thingies right? I did get this in the box, but it’s not on the packing list in the manual so no idea what to make of it.

Did you get the M2 Pro or the M2S Pro?
The one I reviewed is the M2S Pro and that one didnt have anything like that…
Fuck me… I ordered the m2 pro. Guess I’ll have to determine whether those are good myself then :P.
oof, sorry. From what I heard the M2S Pro is indeed better than the previous M2 Pro…

Dammit, well they’ll have to do for now, I’m not going to order different ones right away. I prefer IEMs so they won’t be my daily drivers anyway.
yeah, that sounds good
No I havent, I did ask for a unit but wont get one.

I would like to recommend a VFM earbud, the Betron BS10. SIngle 12mm driver. Great overall sound, and currently £10.99 on Amazon. I’ve recommended these to quite a few friends to stop them using their stock phone earbuds, and every one of them has thanked me.
Oh well. Would be interested in your thoughts. The Lyra Nature Limited is gorgeous in gold and green but not $399 beautiful
Yeah, they do look good. Wont get more buds in a while though…especially since I still got 5 incoming lol.

Have you got K’s LBBS? It’s bright neutral. I’m trying to figure out if it is revealing on bad recordings or just the sharper treble
I havent received it yet

Wow, awesome review and this sound like an impressive set! So cheap and competing with much more expensive sets!
It is a shame the bass is not more present, for me at least, lol

A day later and I think they actually sound a bit better. They still sound pretty closed-in. I could actually use more treble/presence sparkle. They are quite dull & dark.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the included tips with the AST fit and seal me which is a literal miracle for included stock tips.
I didn’t even try the stock tips, went directly to Spinfit CP360 Large – i’ll try the stock ones to see if they work for me.
There are some tracks that the AST plays really nice (at least in my non-experienced evaluation), for example R.E.M’s Losing My Religion. But Alicia Keys’ No One is too boomy. If I listen to Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know, the female voice is really dull and behind. Armin Van Buuren’s Slow Lane has a very balanced presentation to me. Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You also plays nicely on the AST.
This one I haven’t heard in years until this week with the AST and I really enjoy the experience with them…
Another one from Depeche Mode:
Overall I enjoy the AST but in some tracks it just isn’t the right match. But the AST is my second IEM so I know nothing and have no real reference of what is top of the line or if maybe the AST is crap and I just find it awesome just out of ignorance.

Nice review! Now if only @Rikudou_Goku reviews GS Audio ST8B and says it is amazing – better than Moondrop’s Blessing 2 – I’ll buy it in a heartbeat.
