Riku, do you have plans for Tin P1 Plus?.
I’m put off by Timeless’ qc issues and lack of holographics; no interest in that set. But I’m highly interested to see someone do a comparison between P1 Plus vs Shuoer (Letshuoer…) S12 in the near future.

Have you considered Tri I3 Pro?
No I haven’t heard of it before, will check it.
Mostly I just like to hear what others say and compare new tech tho lol

I have reviewed the P1 Plus.
That S12 is likely to be the same iem as the Timeless though.

Heck, I got fricked up by the search function using “Tin P1 Plus”… my bad, plenty of results with “P1 Plus”.
So I’ve heard, although I’m betting that the different shell might yield a different result in stage and imaging at least even with the same driver between S12 and Timeless.

I have the TRI i3 pro and I find that the base overwhelms the mids. In some ways I find the mids muddy. Between the Timeless or the i3 pro, I would choose the timeless every time.

hey Mr. AnimeGuy, are there any IEM’s out there that have the same / similar sound profile of the Senn HD600’s?
…and for the sake of curiosity, are there high impedance IEM’s out there? if so, what kind of DAP would you need to drive them properly, as a phone, tablet or PC is unlikely to be sufficient?
I have no clue as I never heard it.
Graph look similar to these I guess.
Some exist, at around 50 ohm, but you wont really find any high impedance iems.
Take a look at this calculator:

If You read the description it says it’s just one product… 
I hope nobody buys the 20-pack expecting different products… 
Just bought a “2x pack”.

In my opinion the JVC HA-FDX1 with the filtered nozzle are the closest.

Last year’s prediction for 2021:
“I hope to see more budget friendly EST iems coming in 2021. 2020 was the year when we got more EST choices from the Tri Starlight to the Penon Volt, but most of them were in the same (super expensive) price range. So, I hope we get cheaper EST iems (Sonion EST) so that more people can try them. But I mostly want chi-fi to improve with QC, because having an iffy QC even for the 100-300 usd range is not OK with me. I am also looking to give BA only iems another chance (or 2…), since it seems we are getting closer to the point where, BA´s sounds like a DD in both bass texture and timbre.”
In 2021, we did indeed see the rise of even more EST iems at a more affordable price than the last year (from average of 800 to 500 usd).
As for QC, well nothing has changed much IMO. For example, the “everyone gets a different tuning” on the Geek Wold GK10.
BA iems on the other hand…have all pretty much disappointed me at least the ones I have tried. So, if I were to give them another chance, it probably would be something higher priced.
Prediction for 2022: We are going to see more budget brands learning how to tune, thus forcing the higher priced brands to try harder or lose their standing. More iems with multi-DD setups will come out, be it multi-DD hybrids or standalone multi-DDs.
hope you guys have a merry Christmas and thank you for your support.

@Rikudou_Goku your guidance in this ocean of chi-fi audio gear has been very helpful for a lot of people this year I believe.
Personally I am out of the game since I got the Fearless Provence (basically a side-grade from the GS GD3A you popularized), but I will continue checking out your reviews and rankings from time to time. Who knows, maybe in 2022 you will discover another gem.
I wish happy holidays to all, and success in your studies to you.
Cheers
